Well in church I was taught that God made man in His own image....yes there are two types of images on this earth... man and woman...However it does say he created Adam..then Eve...So I think that God is male......My opinion from what I have learned

I really don't think God is either. I don't think God has a physical form, and really what does it matter God is Love and as long as you have accepted God into your heart you will go to Heaven and find out for yourself.

God is neither male or female! When the bible talks about image it doesnt mean our looks and things we can see it means about character and personality having a christlike image rather than a human image.

I also was taught that god was male, however, I do like the idea of him being female. Maybe he is both or neither.

I believe God is male from what i have been taught..You have to do more than just accept Christ into your heart to go to heaven. You also have to live your life trying to be more like God even though i know in my heart that i'll never get there and also no one will! You have to have a personal relationship with Christ on a daily basis and spread the word of God and live a Godly life to the best of our ability as he commanded us in the bible!!!!God may only be a spirit here on earth, but i strongly believe that he is honestly here with us during good and bad times. God is still the same God in times of troubles and times of Praises. He said he will never forsake us!!!! Sorry if this sounds too preachy, i'm just very strong in my faith and i have strong opinions on this topic!

Love this post.Male/female whatever,I think it's both.But if we going to get technical it makes sense she is female x

If there is a God I think God is pure spirit. Our patriarchal heritage has
caused us to think of God the Father.

Agree with Tenacious.

If IT exists, then IT is ethereal. Omnipitent presence.

Like the Easter Bunny

is there supposed to be no discussion of religion or politics on the general board?

The oldest existing documents from the old testament very clearly depict God as male. If one accepts the Bible as fact, then one must also accept that God is a guy!

I fall in the multi-dimensional amorphous ectoplasm camp, my self.

i don't think god is a woman.
what i don't get is there is so many different religons how do we know that what we're doing is right? there aren't different heavens are there? one for each belief?
my husband thinks that just because he believes in god that means that he'll go straight to heaven. even though he has beat on every woman he's ever been with.

wow a cl participating in a religious debate on the main board?

Nothing against politics at all. Only the following rules about religion.

6. Religion:
DailyStrength has no religious affiliation. However, we believe that religion can play an important role in helping people overcome their challenges. Members must respect other members' differing religious beliefs, and do not assume that other Members subscribe (or want to subscribe) to yours.

Here are 3 things we ask you not to do:

a. Impose your beliefs on others. Example: Telling members of our Gay & Lesbian communities that they are "sinners" is not appropriate.

b. Disrespect someone else's religion.

c. Spamming (aka "sending unsolicited messages") to members about religion. Repeatedly posting religious passages (or anything else, for that matter) around the site is not appropriate.

oh ok have at it

God is male... only a man could fuck up the world so bad...

no offense...
