You'll soon get a ban for spamming the moderators in your quest to get this thread to front page. You better stop it. It is unforgivably cringeworthy to see and read you grovelling for it

Is this not educating enough to reach FP?

Re: Is God In Form Of Man Or Woman by Nobody: 8:19pm On May 09, 2020
Man was created in the image of man but woman is the glory of man.
God is not in the form of man but God is Generally revealed as a male.
For example, the trinity are all revealed as male,
God the Father is revealed as a male, fatherhood instead of motherhood.
God the Son instead of daughter
God the Holy Ghost is revealed as a 'He' not 'she'.
It is man that was created in the image of God and not God created in the image of man.

The primary reason the woman was created was to be a helpmeet for the man, hence the woman was formed from the man.

At the resurrection men and women will ne in the same image.
Image does not neccesrily mean appearance it means character or trait.

Trust me I had got over every post on this thread from post zero, there isnt anything or need for me to go back re-check

Queenttoast01, "tani jẹ, gbena woju ẹkun?" loosely translated means "who dares take a lantern to go look the tiger straight in the eyes" so it is with God, He is just too bright to be seen with our naked eyes. His glory is blinding, it is just like trying to look in the sun, if any does it long enough, they'll irreparably lose their sense of seeing

Of course, it is educating, but the way you're all over the boots of the moderators, is distracting. They have better things to attend to and not to be spammed by you because of fp vainglory.

The thread will ordinarily make fp, on its strength and/or if meant to, even of course without you needing to help it get a leg up

Let Us make man in Our image, after Our likeness,
to rule over the fish of the sea and the birds of the air, over the livestock,
and over all the earth itself and every creature that crawls upon it.”

- Genesis 1:26

Dont mind the jokers, they'll probably, I actually mean, they'll definitely get you confused.

You see that the underlined "man" in Genesis 1:26 above, in the original text, actually is human beings. So when is saying, lets make male and female human beings in Our image, after Our likeness. Let us make man and woman representative of it what and who we are, is all that Genesis 1:26-27 is saying. Please dont let those guys twist the Bible for you, lmao

1 Corinthians 11:7
For a man indeed ought not to cover his head, forasmuch as he is the image and glory of God: but the woman is the glory of the man.

The primary reason the woman was created was to be a help meet for man but man was not created for woman.

1 Corinthians 11:9
Neither was the man created for the woman; but the woman for the man.


Do I need to post scriptures that reveals that God the Father, Son and Holy Ghost are all masculine?
It is only the pagan gods, that have both feminine and masculine gods.

Revelation 4:9
And when those beasts give glory and honour and thanks to him that sat on the throne, who liveth for ever and ever,

Revelation 4:10
The four and twenty elders fall down before him that sat on the throne, and worship [b]him[/b]that liveth for ever and ever, and cast their crowns before the throne, saying,

The biblical God is masculine. Men and woman are created in the image of God means they bear some of his character even a woman bears some attributes of a man.
A woman is a man in a other dimension, woman means take out of man but God is masculine.
Masculine give rise to feminine not the other way round. For example XY chromosomes can give rise of XX chromosomes but XX chromosomes can never give rise to XY chromosomes.

"As a mother comforts her son, so I will comfort you, and you will be comforted in Jerusalem"
- Isaiah 66:13

It is a narrow minded contribution. A male by himself with his prized XY chromosomes by himself alone with his XY chromosomes, is no better than being an eunuch. He needs a female to dash the Y-part to, in order to produce a boy or the X-part in order to get a girl. Man and woman compliment each other

Listen, Queenttoast01, the only reason why a third person pronoun is used for God, is because there isnt a genderless pronoun in Hebrew/Greek/English available to use. Remember Queenttoast01 that God is a Spirit and in actual fact, God is genderless, this meaning, God, from a human point of view, is neither male nor female. In spite of that fact, God however has masculine and feminine characters/traits/behaviours/qualities/attributes though.

Now watch this Queenttoast01, God is not a "not-known-number" of person. God, as a matter of fact then, is, x-person. This is implying that God, in effect, is ∞-persons, as in, meaning, God is infinite or infinity.

That being said, now the meaning of the Tetragrammaton, YHWH, really is "I AM, that, I AM" which is about God being whatever it is necessary for God to become He'll become. Now God has revealed to us to be God the Father, God the Son and God, the Holy Spirit. Notice that you'll find the masculine characters/traits/behaviours/qualities/attributes in both God the Father, God the Son and you'll find the feminine characters/traits/behaviours/qualities/attributes God, the Holy Spirit. The pinnacle of God's characters/traits/behaviours/qualities/attributes, towering above all is the masculinity, which is why for discussion sake, although neither being male or female physically, God settles for the third person male pronouns. You would be the first to admit Queenttoast01, that we cant call or address God, as "It" nah. Mba, mbah. God is not a man. God is not a woman and neither is God an animal or an object. God chose that He be identified, addressed and referred to a Father, even Abba sef and not Mother, so that is how and why we see, identify, address and refer God to as He, Him, Father etcetera. Capisce, lmao?

Always remember that Genesis 1:26, said, "let us create mankind (i.e. males and females)" and not just "let us create men/males", lmao. The original plan from the onset was to create both, it doesnt matter who came first. They both need each other for God's plan and vision to actualise, lmao

To answer some of the questions.
Bible says..in HIS image.. doesn't necessarily mean He is a man or a woman.
God is not a man so His attributes goes beyond human explanation. He is a spirit being. This is why his gender doesn't matter. Meanwhile

From the onset, God has never placed a responsibility on a woman because He made them to support(Gen2:18), not bear burdens.

Creating a woman for support should be a thing of Joy to you women, we are the ones that are supposed to be asking God why we are the ones bearing all burdens.
Read the old testament and you will see that, whenever the Bible mentions how many people are in a city..eg(5000), wemen and children àre not always included in those numbers.

That doesn't mean you wemen are inferior beings, it just means you were not created to handle problems. God gave you a men and He empowered them to protect you..
In other words, wemen has a special place in the heart of God.

Have you read the case of Abraham and Sarah? Gen 16
Sarah told Abraham to marry her maid...
Later, she started complaining that the husband was loving her maid more than her..
After that one had a child, she was still the one that told the husband to send both the maid and the son packing.....
Now you will see that God did not speak to Sarah, rather He told Abraham to listen to his wife and do what she tells him...

This shows how special you people are to God. He is the one that gave you such a soft heart. So He understands better than anyone.



What has confused many Bible readers is..
They read Bible from verse 1 to the end, and start thinking, issues in verse 1 came before verse 2.... Which in many cases, it is not so..
If you read through old testaments especially.. you will see what I am saying.


May God help us all..
