What makes us male/female?

Good point. I didn't think about it that way!

That's why I told you that gender isn't determined by voices or hands.
Sure, I asked. It was a serious question. Gender isn't determined by those things but those things can be very real and strong indicators of male or female gender.

Barb gets it!!!

Those things are assigned a gender without possessing a gender, which is my point about God that I've been making.

It seems that the writers of both old and new testaments perceived Him as a male with male characteristics and male attributes.

Exactly...that's what I just posted...

Honestly, I have never questioned it until tonight... when I read this thread.

Since it was posted/asked, I thought I'd think about it.
