Really? Are you reading the Greek version or the original Hebrew, perhaps Aramaic?
It's all besides the point. We humans use He or Him because calling him an "It" removes the spiritual aspect completely out.
It's the language we use to transmit a idea or concept. How you you have a trans if you don't have gender?
Gender is totally his concept.
Further, when we look at Him as a human, we completely miss that he is not like us. He is above gender, above time outside of any reference we may have.
That's the box we put him in.
What gender was the burning bush? Isn't that a ridiculous question?
How he chooses to reveal himself is petty compared to the fact that he does! The rest is how we describe that encounter. How would you describe something that is deeply spiritual to someone else? You're wasting you time and focus on the "gender" and limiting yourself to scripture.
The apostles wrote that there were many, many more experiences to write down all of them but they saved the ones that spoke the most to them in their own way.
Take a look at the gospels and how they were chosen amongst the myriad of books written at that time. They threw out quite a few for various reasons. Not the least of those reasons being it doesn't reflect the pope's idea of what God is.
The real fact is if you have a relationship with Him, none of this matters. To verify that it is, in fact Him, compare what you receive with scriptures and you will find they match.
God is alive not dead to the scriptures of old. He is doing new things all the time. If you hold on to the past, you'l miss what's going on in the present.
the message of redemption is the same but the media and method changes.
Jesus referred to God as Father.
That is good enough for me. I’m not going to play gender bending word games.
