Is there an aspect of God's nature that is feminine? How could God create a feminine nature if He is a He? We can see the difference between a cat's nature and a dog's nature. Even between masculine and feminine within a species. What part of God is feminine?
"feminine" isn't a nature. It's a biological distinction. God is not a biological creature
How could God create a cat if He is not a cat? See what I mean?

Apostolic is defined on AFF as:
There is One God. This one God reveals Himself distinctly as Father, Son and Holy Ghost.
The Son is God himself in a human form or "God manifested in the flesh" (1Tim 3:16)
Every sinner must repent of their sins.
That Jesus name baptism is the only biblical mode of water baptism.
That the Holy Ghost is for today and is received by faith with the initial evidence of speaking in tongues.
The saint will go on to strive to live a holy life, pleasing to God.
God is Spirit, He is not man, except in Christ. He is not woman either, He is Spirit.
And yes, He has what we might consider "crossgender" attributes. And it does not reflect on HIS manhood, because He is not man.
Maybe He came as a male, because it would not have worked for Jesus to have a earthly father and God as mother.
The only redeem value of this thread is the possible that we could come to understand that God as Spirit is not man. All the he's in this post notwithstanding!!! LOL
By the way, Prax, He didn't make cat in His image.

Years ago I argued here that God transcended gender, and is in reality neither male nor female.
I was smacked down quite vigorously from many sources.
(I still believe it though )
You would be biblical with this assessment, I have no idea why that would have gotten you smacked???
