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)

Also "AndHesaid unto Abram..." (15:13).

The Scriptures refer to God as 'He'...

The One Satan comes before accusing the brethren ... male or female?


Without wanting to be graphic, in what way is the one on the throne male? What proof is there?

And in what way is God male? He possesses neither chromasomes or genitalia.
The immaculate conception. The 'Y' did not come from mama.

Again, what specifically made God (prior to the birth of Jesus) a male? In what way(s) was He male?

Well you know there are those who would like to believe God is female .... that whole "goddess of wisdom" foolishness. I dont buy it for a minute.

Gender as we normally think of it might not be what God is but He sure isn't a female, that's for sure.

He's always referred to in scripture as being characteristically male with male characteristics and attributes overall.

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.

LOL! You do have a deep voice. So guess God can't be male then either if that's the test or proof.

God wasn't immaculately conceived. Jesus was, but He didn't get a Y from God either.
