I think you are misunderstanding what I'm saying. Jesus was also humanity, so I'm asking, what is male, the humanity or the deity, and if the latter is the answer, what purpose does having a gender make to God?

I certainly understand the limitations of the human language, especially my own. You are right. We do not understand a genderless being. Jesus and angels are beings. We cannot think of them as being genderless. They have gender. Often the bible speaks of an angel being a MAN. The MAN Gabriel, for instance. Gender is ascribed to him.

But for what purpose? For us, or for the angels? And do angels have the physical characteristics of gender? What makes them male, other than just being referred to in that manner?
