The Female God Error

Another heretical teaching by those who doubtless have never read their Bibles is the idea that God is female. Even a cursory reading of Holy Scripture disproves this notion.

So why is God portrayed as male? After all, Jesus said to the Samaritan woman in John 4:24 (BBE) that, "God is Spirit: then let his worshippers give him worship in the true way of the spirit."

God is portrayed as a loving father because that's what we can most easily relate to. As Psalms 68:5 (BBE) says, "A father to those who have no father, a judge of the widows, is God in his holy place."

Jesus often called God his father. When people followed him for the free food he provided them, he said in John 6:27 (BBE) that they should, "Let your work not be for the food which comes to an end, but for the food which goes on for eternal life, which the Son of man will give to you, for on him has God the Father put his mark."

Paul also amplified this concept in 1 Corinthians 8:6 (BBE) that, "There is for us only one God, the Father, of whom are all things, and we are for him; and one Lord, Jesus Christ, through whom are all things, and we have our being through him."

Peter was an eyewitness to God calling Jesus his son. We read in 2 Peter 1:17 (BBE), "For God the Father gave him honour and glory, when such a voice came to him out of the great glory, saying, 'This is my dearly loved Son, with whom I am well pleased.'"

Even correction is an attribute of fathers, though mothers also correct their children. Psalms 103:13 (BBE) states, "As a father has pity on his children, so the Lord has pity on his worshippers."

How wonderful it is that God isn't some distant figure but he's the ultimate father figure. I'll point this out in my next book called You Think You're Going to Heaven? So many people miss this or can't understand this wonderful truth.
