So he doesn't know my gender?
(He designed me, I think he knows.)
The father is not just a gender it is also a role.
Same with the bride/groom analogy he uses.
I am not going to limit God in any way.
If he wants to present himself as a female or a burning bush or a hobbit, that's fine with me.
My experience is in a spirit that has no physical form most of the time. Some times it has been what appeared to be a person but disappeared after we spoke.
He chooses his form, if any, and if a female form speaks to someone and brings them closer to him, I am at no point to say it cannot be him because it does not conform to what I expect nor accept.
Any form is acceptable from the entity that created all forms and even the concept of form.
No boxes of preconceived ideas of what he can or cannot do. ALL things are possible!
The current culture we live in has no understanding of biblical authority as they have not lived with it their entire lives or if they have, religious figures have a negative experience.
In order to transfer some understanding they need to have an experience that they can understand.
My prayer is for God to make his presence obvious and express the love he has for them even in a unusual way. An experience with Christ has not been a part of their lives.
When it happens, it is indeed impressive and I love to hear those stories.
There have been quite a few terrorists that have been converted because of dreams and visions. I have not heard of any two being alike.
Obviously, not. Otherwise, you would not plainly torture the obvious expressions of His masculinity.
Since we have limited understanding of God, God, in His word, plainly self-identifies as masculine. When He became incarnate, He came as a man, not woman.
He chooses his form, if any, and if a female form speaks to someone and brings them closer to him, I am at no point to say it cannot be him because it does not conform to what I expect nor accept.
Where, in all the Theophanies shown in the Bible, do you see God as anything but masculine, or inapproachable light?
