We all know what makes us a certain gender, so I won't go into details, but I have to wonder...how does what makes us male and female apply to God? I understand that God assigns Himself a gender for our benefit, but since male and female attributes are what makes us male and female, in what way does God possess those attributes? I'm speaking about His Spirit, not His flesh.
I was just reading in Genesis where God was speaking to Abraham and the Scripture state, "And He said unto him, I am the LORD..." (15:7)
Again, what specifically made God (prior to the birth of Jesus) a male? In what way(s) was He male?

Also "AndHesaid unto Abram..." (15:13).
The Scriptures refer to God as 'He'...
I agree, but for who's benefit? My assertion is that God assigned Himself a gender for our benefit, but doesn't physically or spiritually have a gender.
