Why is God a man, not a woman?

First thing’s first. We must remember that God is so much more then man. In Genesis we learn that man was made in the image of God and that woman was made in the image of man. This helps us understand many of the important dynamics in the marriage relationship but that’s not relevant here. So what makes God a man and not a woman? Well, in the original text we know that the name “God” (Proper Noun or name) was always referred to in the masculine or male tense and the pronoun used in place of “God” is “He”. In the New Testament we read that Jesus always referred to God as the Father or used He in reference to God (John 15:26, 16:25). So on these accounts alone we can be quite sure that God possesses traits that would make him appear to be more masculine then feminine. We must remember, however, that He is much more then we could ever understand Him to be. He is not a simple man. He is God perfect in every way, able to be everywhere at once, knowing all things of past times and in the future. Our mind can never conceive all that our God is we only know what He has chosen to reveal to us.
