there are a few instances that portray god as a mother.
True, but overwhelmingly the primary potrayal is a father figure.
agreed, but i think that the reason god is portrayed more often as male has to do with neither god's actual gender, or a lack of words to describe god. it probably has to do more with the society that wrote the bible: who did most of the writing?
I disagree, since I believe the Bible is inspired by God and thus portrays God as
he wanted to be portrayed... as primarily a father figure, referred to by the word "he". If God was primarily revealed to be a mother figure the word "she" would most likely have been used... but in any case God still has no "gender," only a fatherness or motherness.
If you say there no absolutes, I ask you, are you absolutely sure?
