To some extent you are right. God may be referred to as genderless. But at the same time, the scripture and Jewish writers paints a narrative consistency of a Masculine God, and he's referred to as Father, He, Our Father in heaven in heaven hallowed be your name. That's a language that paints gender.... However God is also called a spirit. And can nurture like a mother or express mother attribute. I am only approximating how the Jewish writers see God gender wise even though God transcends gender.
You should understand humans need a pivot when using language and experience they are familiar with. You can't blame me, you can't blame the writers of the Bible for mostly creating a masculine image of God in the Bible.
So if anyone asks you if God is male or female, while you know God is spirit, and in Spiritism there are male and female spirit, either in character operation or gender even though they can space shift..You will most likely see him from masculine lens... That's the limitation of human language and experience in typifying God who transcends anything we can use to describe him

That “ our father” part, I can’t argue with you on that, perhaps maybe God is a he after all , But if he got a she out of a he , then there’s must have been a she blueprint somewhere that serves as a sample. Now, what is confusing is that, he made Adam, from clay and sand as the Bible suggested, why didn’t he make eve is the same vein ? Why did he have to take from Adam to make eve? I have a feeling that maybe that was just a way to create some sort of attachment and connection, hence the reason for the pull women always have on men and why men just can’t resist because it was all part of the plan . If he had created eve from scratch too like he did Adam, there was every possibility that eve would have just been another seperate kind of entity entirely that does her own thing, and wouldn’t be a team player. When he said “Let’ us make man in our own image” I think there was a feminine entity somewhere in that gathering.

The scripture is not the thought of man.
.
The Bible said God inspired holy men to write the word of God.
Peter said as holy prophets were moved and inspired so they spoke.
All prophesy in the Bible was not written by the will of man. Timothy said all scriptures are written by the inspiration of God.
. ... ..



Genesis said God created Adam in his Image. That means Adam being male was the true copy of the image of God.
But Eve was created out of Adam. If God was Female, he would probably have created Adam female and make a male out of his rib.... This is straight forward....
You can't classify Bible like the literature you read for your UTME

The last paragraph is really disappointing for a christian that you are , this is why the op always talk about open mindedness, but you just want to quickly counter and attack, the Bible saying likeness and image is just metaphorical, simply meaning character and behavioral wise and not necessarily looks and physical features. “. When your mom sometimes tell you or a family member says “ oh, you’re just like your father , is it always in the context of looks? It’s just like when I was invited to a church and the pastor quoted the part of the Bible that said,” buy the gosepel but sell it not “ using it to justify selling a devotional to his congregation.

Then he said “ you all can buy it but you can’t sell it”which was total bs. The use of buy and sell in that scripture was metaphorical , buying means believing and acknowledging and selling meaning not twisting , distorting the gospel.

And you’re wrong , if God was male like you said and you argued that he created Adam in his image which is a male image , then how did he manage to get a female prototype out of a male body? That’s was why the guy that quoted you asked how you are sure that God was he and and op is trying to argue that what we know as God might just be energy and something genderless. . I am a Christian myself, but open to learn new things , I don’t always agree with everything the op says , but I always do keep an open mind

It's just disgusting 🫣 how Coca-Cola/UAC literally killed competition and competitors in the beverage industry, by directly acquiring rival companies but always making it to flops.

There was this ginger induced soft drink that was in the market one time called “bold” as at 2019 thereabout. I was taking this drink and I was getting fresh. the drink really gained popularity, then all of a sudden it disappeared, I hope Coca Cola isn’t involved in its disappearance because honestly, it was a healthier choice compared to coke.
