LOL. “God is not a man, that he might lie, or a son of man, that he might change his mind”. God is neither male or female; he is spirit. Christ was born male, however. Why? Why not?
As a Christian who's also a system engineer....hmmm....maybe it's so it'd be easier for Him to run the money changes out of the Temple instead of wasting time looking for blue light specials on offering goats? :)
Seriously, it's possible that God being spirit means He's not male or female. But I'd hate to say that's implied, just a possibility. For example there's substantial differences between men and women beyond our physical characteristics, unless you want to say that the "carnal mind" is the physical part of our mind (the brain) and, therefore, our physical brains are where the differences lie in what makes men and women think differently. Therefore with God having no physical brain (except when He came down as Jesus) he'd not have the aspects of thinking like a man.
Might be overthinking this just a wee bit. :)
I always thought it was because men need religion more. Ya know, to keep them in line.
