quote:
He, when refering to God is symbolic to show God as mascaline or powerful. What would you think if God was called she or in symbolic terms feminine.
That God has the power to give life, or take it away, like nature.
What is more powerful than the power to create life?
The feminine is considered "weak" in patriarchal cultures, but not in matriarchal or egalitarian cultures.
quote:
He, does not rely mean an actual gender.
Uh, yeah it does.
Like "father" means a male parent.
If the Bible meant a non-gendered parental figure, it would have used the word for parent, not father.
quote:
And when he talks about mother and father that is also symbolic. Mothers and Fathers take care of there children and so does God.
But the word for Father is used to refer to God throughout most of the Bible, not parent.
