Why is the Christian God mainly being portrayed as male?
Why do you guys call God Father, that is so twisted...

It is the typical male oriented thing and while I`m a male I find it disgusting.

You always say his Will, why not her Will, do you see the point?

History, why not Herstory, maybe Her story is quite different than His story...

The true creator is a perfect balance of male and female and though not the one being spoken about in the bible.

It is so damn distorted...

Who says that Lord and Father actually refers to God at all...

It is wishful thinking that you stumbled upon the holy grail, while it is actually anoter man made distortion, that was created to seperate and lead you away from the truth.

Men wrote the bible in favour of their gender and do you see where all this male energy has brought us to?

Why are only male messengers in the bible, were the female ones maybe deliberately left out at some point and would they share a quite different view?

Sorry it is just pathetic, the last 13000 years was a male dominated cycle and with the end of this cycle, the female godess energy will come back and so the male christian god image, will just become a thing of the past for the better good of all.

Look around you, everything is male dominated and yet even you christian women worship it blindly, without questioning.

Re: Why is the Christian God mainly being portrayed as male?
According to the writings of Thrice Great Hermes, God is neither male or female, he is both. God is androgynous.

To back this up with science, let's go to Biological Taxonomy.

When you classify an animals....let's say dogs and cats, they are classified in a hierarchical manner. So all dogs and cats are mammals, but not all mammals are dogs and cats. Therefore, mammals are a higher classification than dogs and cats. More specifically, the characteristics of all dogs and cats are the characteristics of mammals, but not vice versa.

Now, humans are not God. Humans were made by God, thus are of a lower classification than God. Males and Females are types of humans, but they still both came from God. Therefore, both masculine and feminine are characteristics of God, (Androgynous) because of the very fact that we have those characteristics. For the most part, we don't have any characteristics that God doesn't have, because we were made by him, in his image.

The reason God is referred to as HE, in my opinion, is because of the curse of Eve.

Because man was created in the image of god, while woman was created from just the rib of man.
And woman caused the downfall of all mankind by introducing death to the human race.

I completely agree with this also. The thing is, humans have two hemispheres, each connecting them to concepts of God. The male, and female. God does not actually exist in respect of the sexes, but manifest the sexes as the creative polarities of the universe. Chaos of opposites equals creation.

The feminine has long been repressed and is now manifesting itself in sites like GLP (though you wouldn't think it). Art, psychic abilites and compassion are all side effects of the return of the divine feminine.

And dont come to me with bible quotes, as i said the bible is a totally unbalanced book written in favour of the male gender, opressing the female energys.

Why is Jesus allowed to sit on HIS throne, but not his mother Mary?

Why is Jesus`s Father somehow the most powerfull being in existence, because he created all of this, but his mother Mary is just a normal human?

Why was Eve created from Adam?

These are just rhetoric questions, it is to make male superior to females...

Don`t you see the deception?

Believe me in higher dimension male and female are equal and the energys are balanced within each being.

thankfully ever more humans are seeing
AND feeling
the return of the banished energy


there is ONE energy

UNIVERSE

it willingly divides ITSELF
into two so as to attract and repel so
that life can be created

as STARHAWK called her FIRST book
"The Spiral Dance"
eternal attracting/repelling energies
in a DANCE of creation/destruction.


as humans we HAD no other way to describe this
NATURAL phenom other than calling it gods and
goddesses

amongst Heathens and Pagans we see this or that energy
displaying characteristics we can point up
when situations around one of those energies appear in
our INDIVIDUAL lives we accept that our INNER BEING
( holy ghost, ha ha ha )
knows it is time we dealt with that energy
so we label it according to its manifestations and
needs to be recognized and we work with it

NOT worship it

just work with it

asking it why it is here and what is our lesson
in its appearance

we embrace this passing the emotional pain
to do so and become free of the negative manifestation and move on enjoying the positive manifesations

it isnt really gods and goddesses
but is it simpler to give the INNER ENERGIES
titles

we cant use the Jungian labels in every day
INNER EXAMINATION so we use beautiful, scary, sad,
happy, fast, athletic, motherly,gentle, and so on,
images to work with as only the INNER ENERGIES are
too abstract for us while we are still corporeal.

follywood uses these manifestions to distrace us
from doing our own INNER WORK

follywood=twisted images

Of course the Almighty is neither male nor female
but he happens to refer to himself in the masculine in his Word
and when he clothed himself in flesh and came to us
he did so as a male.

Sorry it is just pathetic, the last 13000 years was a male dominated cycle and with the end of this cycle, the female godess energy will come back and so the male christian god image, will just become a thing of the past for the better good of all.

A male you may be, but a MAN you are not. Your opinion betray's that you have NEVER been in a Heterosexual relationship.

Go find yourself a woman, marry her and do all the things to create a secure and happy home. When she and her mother are at one another's throats and you're trying to stay out of the argument, then you will realize the truth...the world has been caught in the middle of a giant Cat fight.

God is a man and makes himself known through the Man...that is why he is portrayed as a Man.

Your interior world is mirrored in the outside world, if you have such a bad view of woman, then you only attract woman that mirror your view.

My male and female energys are very balanced, I integrated the best traits of both sides.

I know alot of women who are very compassionate and loving and your stupid example holds no weight, as if men don`t fight with each other, everyone has arguments sometimes.

But as I can see and feel that you are a very male polarized person, it is no wonder to me, that you cannot get along with women.
And I can also understand why women obviously cannot get along with you aswell.

If you don`t show respect to women and see them as equal, how can you exspect them to show respect to you...

Re: Why is the Christian God mainly being portrayed as male?
It would be difficult for Christians to portray God as female given the fact that "his word" seems to discriminate against women. Here are a few examples from the KJV:

1 Timothy 2:11-15:

“Let the woman learn in silence with all subjection. But I suffer not a woman to teach, nor to usurp authority over the man, but to be in silence. For Adam was first formed, then Eve. Let the woman learn in silence with all subjection. And Adam was not deceived, but the woman being deceived was in the transgression. Notwithstanding she shall be saved in childbearing, if they continue in faith and charity and holiness with sobriety.”

The above scripture seems to preclude women from the ministry since teaching of necessity is part of any ministry. This scripture also precludes woman from supervising or having any type of authority over a male. Finally, the Bible seems to shift the blame of “original sin” to Eve!

1 Timothy 3:1-5:

“This is a true saying, if a man desire the office of a bishop, he desireth a good work. A bishop then must be blameless, the husband of one wife, vigilant, sober, of good behaviour, given to hospitality, apt to teach; Not given to wine, no striker, not greedy of filthy lucre; but patient, not a brawler, not covetous; One that ruleth well his own house, having his children in subjection with all gravity; For if a man know not how to rule his own house, how shall he take care of the church of God?.”

The specific language of the these verses implies that the office of bishop is reserved for men only. Further, the provision that a candidate for bishop must be “apt to teach” disqualifies women by virtue of 1 Timothy 2:11-15, quoted above. Clearly, woman cannot have positions of influence within the church as they are not allowed to teach or to usurp authority over men.

1 Corinthians 14:34, 35:

“Let your women keep silence in the churches: for it is not permitted unto them to speak; but they are commanded to be under obedience as also saith the law. And if they will learn any thing, let them ask their husbands at home: for it is a shame for women to speak in the church.”

This scripture is rather direct and unambiguous. There is very little wiggle room for interpreting these verses in a way that allows women into the ministry or permits them to participate in church services. Women are second class citizens who are supposed to listen to their husbands and keep their mouths shut (at least in church).

I am not a Bible believing Christian; however, It is my opinion that the Bible does not place men and women on equal footing. Given the inferior status of women in the Bible, Christians cannot portray their God as female.

I have not referenced the many Bible verses which treat woman as chattel in matters relating to sex, marriage and divorce. It is enough to shows that where the church itself is concerned, woman have no say.

Re: Why is the Christian God mainly being portrayed as male?
Did you know that when you question why people call God Father that you reveal that you come from a cultural tradition of the Single Mother? All you reveal is that a King used to sex your ancient mother, but not marry her. She got a shitty mood based on this FACT and rejects the very existence of someone which common sense says must have existed.

Can't you realize that all this war is a bunch of pissed off women that think the guy they had a one night stand with owes them or their something children more than they already get?

You have daddy issues; plain and simple. the Muslims got it bad like that too. It would be more appropriate for a person like myself to help you through this but you've started a war about the whole thing...so the responsible thing to do is wage war. You are so clueless is actually quite sad what is about to happen to you. I honestly can't even laugh to hard without crying too. Unless you come to terms with the facts you are certainly going off to die.
