I know chicks who act like Dudes.

Does this mean that anyone who acts masculine can be a father?

._. I don't know. Does he even have a body? I guess I see what you're saying.
Alright.
This was meant more for people who interpt it more literaly, as I have ran across many that have.
And for another thing, I'm a girl.
I thought CountESS might be a tip off. D:
And besides, before science came along people took the bible VERY literaly.

Wow. I need to start looking at these threads more often if this is all you guys do.Firstly. I have heard of people call God the Mother. It's a preference. No one has proof that God has masculine features, and there is no proof that God has femine features. <-<
Secondly. As for why they used Father is because back in Bible Times, a person was referred to as a male. They did it then and we're only just now starting to say "he or she did this" if we don't know what their gender is. So, back then in Bible Times, the authors referred to God as masculine because that was what they did. God never told them what the gender is probably because God doesn't want to say that for instance, since he's male that means males are better, or if she's female that females are better. I'm betting God doesn't have a gender and we just use "he" or "the father" because that's what we grew up learning.
Could we stop acting immature for at least a few minutes though? <-<
Well I don't think God has a gender, but if "God was not the Father AKA seen as male" then wouldn't God be called Goddess then =/ That's just what I thought anyways. I don't know why God is seen as a man or the father, maybe some insecurities in the Church about worshiping a "female God AKA Goddess" or something I don't know and when I really think about it I don't really care either way.
Why shouldn't he? That IS what it says, is it not?
Who told you it wasn't literal?
Please, cite your sources and their credibility.
What I beleive is irrelevant.
Where's your proof or information for beleiving this?
A beleif is a beleif.
Acting like you KNOW is arrogant in a situation with infinite possibility.
Good point.
Nonetheless, the male ego wrote the Bible.
Can't get around that.
No, Pho, I'm not sure of that. I don't know Hebrew.
As for Jesus, he was born in the Middle East. As a Jew. <-< He's a bronze skinned man, not the white person he's portrayed as in some places.

First off God is a man,and I doubt everyone would call him the holy father If he wasn't a guy,Jesus would call him mother,instead.The reason he's called the father is also because he gave birth to everyone so generally he's supposed to be called the father.

Most jews are white.
Proof please?
Why do you even COME to the discussion boards?
Fathers don't give birth. >_>
I don't know who lied to you, but daddy didn't carry you for 9 months buddy.
Jesus was black, not 'bronze'. D : He's even described with kinky curly hair! (A.K.A. Jewel's hair from Pulp Fiction)
...Anyways, in reply to the first post:
Christianity was made by sexist noblemen. Simple as that.
A harsh generalization that I would not expect YOU of all people to state, Chaos. My God, do you not realize that some of our best friends are Mormon?
I can't believe you'd say that.
Besides... Akira is a heck of a lot smarter than I am.
Chaos is a blunt little thing.
And, while there are exceptions, Mormans tend to ignore the world around them.
My whole Father's side of the family is VERY religious. But, they care more for religion then common sense.
It wouldn't kill you to put a "Most" before a statement like that, then.
But it's true, when it comes to religion, it's always a "My way or the highway" deal. People aren't gonna change what they've kept for so long.
In other words, if God is a girl/hermaphrodite/whatever, He's staying a guy in most people's eyes, as that's what they've learned.
