why we say god is a he?

Amen.\nGod is neither a he or a she. God is God and God has no gender because God is not a human. I think God is indeed portrayed as a male (or a female to all you feminists out there) because humanizing God makes God's doctrines seem more familiar.\n\nNow read that paragraph. Doesn't it sound weird? Instead of saying him I simply replaced all pronouns with God. For writing to sound the least bit intellegent, pronouns are necessary. But your right, why he(/she). We need a pronoun for God that doesn't humanize him.

God.  He is not fallible.  He is the creator of man who is the creator of science.  Man is fallible and therefore so is science.

God is a figment of mans imagination, therefore he is whatever you think he is. Imagine he changes and he changes.

Interesting question. Here is what i think of this. God does not need to be human first to be able to make humans. Just like we dont need to be a cd or a dvd player to be able to make them. 'In His image' means that we have in us, qualities that are His too, like love and compassion, and the ability to create new things, like tv's, and other electric, non-electric things. Even can play with dna and come up with new things. But all this does not qualify us as Gods, for we are "In His image", and not Gods per sec. Image is like a shadow of a thing, like one's reflection in a mirror. We have in us but a reflection of His qualities, which make us "in His image" but not Him.

God is a loving God -- He loved us so much that He sent His beloved son Jesus to die for OUR sins so he gives us as many chances as we need -- we just have to accept Jesus as our savior.  Then God holds us in His mighty hand and no one can take us from Him.

What difference would it make? It's still the same deity. I think God is all genders, everything in general anyway.

i love your question!\nbut You are going to go round and round in circles forever because you are not accepting the fact that God is "I AM". He said that about Himself and it means that He exists within Himself and is eternally sustained by Himself. \nHe exists totally without any need of anything else. \nThat is because he's God and we are not.  He's the Beginning and the End.\nWorship Him as the creator and end- all and be- all of everything. \nHow awesome and mind- blowing!! \nPraise His name, all you ends of the earth!!

You have to understand first that we are not on the same realm as God.  God is higher than us.  His ways and his thought are higher than ours.  We should never question anything that God has done\n\nAs for where God came from...God has always been.  It is hard for us to imagine this because we think only as humans.  To us,  there is a beginning and an ending to all things.  Not to God.  God always has been and always will be.

He is God, he always existed. This is difficult for man to understand because we are not infinite creatures. The finite can never understand the infinite.

IN THAT case we need to agree in as to what a god is to you. Here are the definitions of  God, and A god: \nA being conceived as the perfect, omnipotent, omniscient originator and ruler of the universe, the principal object of faith and worship in monotheistic religions.\nThe force, effect, or a manifestation or aspect of this being.\nA being of supernatural powers or attributes, believed in and worshiped by a people, especially a male deity thought to control some part of nature or reality.\nAn image of a supernatural being; an idol.\nOne that is worshiped, idealized, or followed: Money was their god.\nA very handsome man.\nA powerful ruler or despot.\n   Notice that i said God and a god, ince you mentioned christianity, then we need to talk about God, because Christianity does not praise gods, But "God" .Pay attention to the 1st definition. That is the one that applies to Chritianity, because they praise it, But they do not praise satan. Satan is just something they dont want to deal with. A god is something you worship, it is not something you detest.

Are you saying God is a girl?  I don't know if God has a gender.... but you see God is something we believe even if we don't see him is called FAITH... if you really want to feel God you have to meditate and pray and you will feel his or her presence....

When he/she/G gives praise, e.g. to Abraham, Job, etc. s/he/G is often acting as a mother figure.\n\nI think to solve the he/she problem, God should have his/her own pronoun in English, call it:\n\n"G" and the possessive could be G's. \n\n(it could be considered a phonetic fusion of he and she together)\n\n\n\nyay/nay?

everyones imaganation. God is an entity not a thing.  He can be everything yet nothing he can be everywhere yet no where.  Therefore the image of God is in our imaganation and is not made of matter but rather faith and unlimited love and ablities to amaze even the most scpetical critic

So many people ask this question.  God is the Creator.  He is NOT part of the Creation.  He is the Creator.  He was not created.  He is GOD.  That's what makes Him God.  He has always been.  He is not subject to time.  Time was also something He created.  He is the alpha and omega, the beginning and the end.  He has no beginning or end.  He is GOD.  He is bigger, and smarter, and holier than we can even fathom.
