Seun:

If He is not a man, then why did his Son (not Daughter o) come in the form of a Man?

otuwe:

u are a child seun. in fact u are worse dan a child. in fact u have no consciousness at all. its only your brain that is keeping u here on earth. hope it doesnt become too late when u drop the body with the brain

obanikoro2:

was that not too harsh?

eclear:

Man is a spirit, has a soul and lives in a body. And it will interest you to know that God is a spirit. What God did during creation was to use a body to cloth man who is a spirit.

Seun:

Why is there no single female prophet in the entire bible (out of so many), and only one female judge?

e[/b]ssentially [b]s[/b]uitable [b]s[/b]ustainers'! O yes jare! You wan vex?!? Haa. . you can't beat that O, so no even try!

Seun:

Ok, so maybe God is not a man, but you can't deny that God was created in the image of man or vice versa!!!!

Oohh. . . somebody call the fire department for this guy O! You see why you need the -[b]ess

Seun:

If God is not a man, then why where all the books of the bible written by men? Why do Christians worship Jesus, who came in the form of a man? Why is there no single female prophet in the entire bible (out of so many), and only one female judge? Why is childbirth the greatest achievement by a woman in the bible? Why is God the Father and not the Mother? Why is Jesus the Son and not the Daughter? Why is the Holy Spirit not a 'Spiritess'? What a male religion!

Ok, so maybe God is not a man, but you can't deny that God was created in the image of man or vice versa!!!!

Purist:

Nature, my friend; nature! Perhaps, someone will soon come along to label God a chauvinist for making the male animals dominate in their individual classes.

Exodus 15:20 And Miriam the prophetess, the sister of Aaron, took a timbrel in her hand; and all the women went out after her with timbrels and with dances.

Judges 4:4 And Deborah, a prophetess, the wife of Lapidoth, she judged Israel at that time.

2 Kings 22:14 So Hilkiah the priest, and Ahikam, and Achbor, and Shaphan, and Asahiah, went unto Huldah the prophetess, the wife of Shallum the son of Tikvah, the son of Harhas, keeper of the wardrobe; (now she dwelt in Jerusalem in the college and they communed with her.

Nehemiah 6:14 My God, think thou upon Tobiah and Sanballat according to these their works, and on the prophetess Noadiah, and the rest of the prophets, that would have put me in fear.

Luke 2:36 And there was one Anna, a prophetess, the daughter of Phanuel, of the tribe of Aser: she was of a great age, and had lived with an husband seven years from her virginity;

Okay, check it out first, then mirror your findings against your assertions - it will become clear.

@topic,

While Seun might not realise, he said something that I believe is closer to the truth than most people will like to even consider as truth. I know a lot of people will ask questions, but I trust I can provide the proof from the scriptures that God is indeed a MAN. Before y'all begin to chop off my head, let me state categorically that by declaring God to be a man, I am not in any way saying that God is male, nor declaring Him to be female.

So the question is what is a man? A man by biblical definition is a "whole", while a woman is a "part". God is whole and not a part, and He can by that definition be refered to as man. And really from scriptures, we will see that not every male can be refered to as a man, only a married male is technically a man, because he now becomes the whole while his wife is the part.

This ties in very well with the topic being discussed. What exactly is God's image? Apostle Paul declares that simply in 2 Corinthians 4:4 the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them. In other words, the image of God is Christ. So when God was thinking of creating man, what He had in mind was Christ, and that is why He created marriage which is the physical union that represents what Christ is all about.

Well, I guess I have provided enough food for thought, I'll continue from here later on.

Wisdom of Man!

@ TayoD, while i have always seen God as a man i don't think we can entirely define him in human terms as either male or female. Remember that Christ said that when we get to heaven we shall be as the angels who are neither male nor female.

PTH:

michelin, your rabid response is best ignored.

michelin89:

Just like you xtians have ignored the truth all this while.

PTH:

what "truth" have we ignored? care to remind us again?

crazykid:

@michelin89

Take it easy and stop this blasphemy. God doesn’t tolerate it when someone blasphemes against the Holy Spirit.

Seun, Jesus isn't the son of god but the son of a carpenter and his adulterous wife.

Mary got pregnant out of wedlock and this was going to seriously damage the image of the so called son of god so they had to bring in the holy spirit.

Great solution, isn't it? Not only they saved Mary's reputation, but they also attributed divine features to a man, jewish to be precise and also married.

Jesus has never seen god so he can't be used as a reference to determine his sex. Anyway i don't know why you all are arguing. Since man is head over the woman, what logic has a female god got?

michelin89:

Blasphemes against non existent entities?

There is nothing like spirits talkless of a holy spirit.

First of all that Jesus isn't the son of god but just a human like you and I. He taught about the word of god and when he identified himself as a child of god it was in the same way xtians now call themselves children of god.

The muslims are right when they say there is nothing didvine in Christ's nature.

And it's absurd people believe in a virginal birth!
