Director Roger Nygard traveled the world asking theologians, scientists, skeptics, and everyday people 85 tough questions to try to understand The Nature of Existence! Now that he’s asked the experts, it’s YOUR TURN! To offer your own insights on today’s question, “God male or female?”, Leave a Reply below!
Neither. God is beyond all and beyond the beyond also. He and although we say He is no He or She and He is He and She at the same time.
However, God always take the form of a man when he transcends to the Earth. (Krishna, Buddha, Jesus, Mohamed, Rama, Meher Baba!) ehem
Conceptualized as an omnipresent, eternal entity, God has no need of reproduction. Therefore, whether male or female is relevant only in the minds of those trying to conceptualize such an entity.
No.
I believe god is the lifeforce all around us, so no god doesnt have a gender.
We should stop using the term ‘god’ to refer to the Divine. The Divine is not only both femel and male, but beyond either. We also need — in this age of exploring beyond our own planet and the particular way that it evolved — to recognize that the Divine may come in three or more, or no, genders on another living planet (if/when we find it). To refer to the Divine, as if we (as the result of a two gender production system) were the only possible expression of It, is humyn arrogance. That said, we — as humyns — will never move beyond the embedded 2-6000 years worth of define the Divine as a male god, until we acknowledge the Goddess/Divine Feminine within the Divine as well.
as i said..: god is ultimate in every thing.. god is not like us and not like any of his creatures .. so god exist by himself…
think in it.. and if the is one create god .. who create that one too… endless thing.. and it must have an end.. that end will be the ultimate.. that end will be god him self
God is both male and female, being all-encompassing, but is in actual fact neither. Because we are living in a physical earthly plane we tend to see everything the same way we see ourselves. But even we are more than male or female: each of us has aspects that relate to the other sex; perhaps in our behaviour, likes; dislikes, thought patterns etc. One thing I am sure about, is that God is not an old man with a long, grey beard, sitting in a throne above us making judgement on everything we do.
Irrelevant.
I would think that the very nature of gender as exhibited in our world would necessarily appear to demand a procreative function thereby, and THAT opens up a whole new shipping container of worms. Why on earth (or in heaven) would any god need the various genitals, hormones and chromosomes by which we define gender?
Doesn’t this entire idea rather point the finger back at us for having created gods in our own image to begin with?
Neither. God is a superior being…even that is not an accurate depiction of what he is. In terms of psychotic calculus, he is undefined. But, at this point, we run into the issue of existence. At a point where a function is undefined, it might also be considered DNE, does not exist. Is this true then also of God? I believe not. God certainly does exist, but just what that being is, I cannot define. It is a spirit greater than anything you or I can possibly depict.
i assume most gods have been male, as most religions have made women the slaves of slaves across the ages.
Humans can’t even all come out strictly male or female, so a gender would seem an odd characteristic for a “limitless” god, but then this question is designed for the people who actually believe in such things, so I’ll let them bother trying to fix their own problem.
There is no god(s) so gender isn’t an issue.
If you mean the imaginary christian god then it is a male. It had sex with a human female that produced a baby. A male and female are required for making babies. LOL. An invisible creature from another dimension that has sex with human women is too stupid to be taken seriously.
Neither. A delusional concept has no sex.
Please! This limiting concept of a masculine or feminine God is rather primitive wouldn’t you say? IT is neither sex! It is not even a pole positive or negative.
IT or God is all inclusive it has all aspects of existence the neutral, the positive and negative and yet it is none of these alone.
