My answer to the above question is: no, of course not. God is “the Invisible One” and “God is spirit” and cannot be classified according to the sexes we know here on earth. BUT… God is most certainly masculine. First, this is a linguistic fact. In both the Hebrew and Greek Scriptures, the word for God is masculine. Second, God is always referred to as “HE” and “HIM.” Countless times, God is also called “the Father.” God fulfills a masculine role. He begets, He is responsible (meaning: He guarantees) for creation. In the Bible, masculine also always means: the head. “Head” means: first, the one who leads the way. The Hebrew word for “head” (rosj) is also directly related to the word for “first” (risjon). The head bears the responsibility.

It is also remarkable that we read only of the man that he was created in the Image of God. “… In the image of the Elohim He creates it. Male and female He creates them.” A masculine God is not an image that humanity has created for itself. It is the other way around: the masculine human being was made in the image of God!

God is explicitly masculine in Scripture. The trouble today is that we collectively hardly understand anymore what this distinction means (> unisex, feminism, and homosexuality). All of this is the result of darkened thinking, as Romans 1 teaches. Where God is no longer acknowledged as GOD (theos, masculine!), reasoning becomes futile and thinking grows dark. And in the dark, distinctions fade. Such as the distinction between male and female…
