God is a STRAIGHT MALE, NOT NEUTER,
as most, so-called, religious experts, say. Note -- My arguments, from the Bible, depend on the Bible being true and reliable. The archaeological evidences for the
EXODUS, and RED SEA CROSSING are overwhelming. These have come to light in the last 30 years. A careful comparison of the Bible and this evidence will show the
Bible true and reliable. See my page on the Red Sea Crossing at this site and visit my many links to other sites. Also visit my other web site at CreationOutreach.com and see the many evidences proving that this is a Specially Created world, that the Bible IS the Creator's book and
that it IS true and reliable. The Apostles Creed and the Lord's Prayer, and the Bible are CORRECT: The Apostle's Creed says, "I believe in God the Father Almighty, Maker of heaven and earth.
And in Jesus Christ his only Son our Lord." The Lord's prayer says, "Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom
come, Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven." In the Bible -- Philip saith unto him (Jesus), "Lord, show us the Father, and it sufficeth us."
Jesus saith unto him, "Have
I been so long time with you, and yet hast thou not known me, Philip? He that hath seen me hath seen the Father; and how sayest thou then, Show us the Father?" --
New Testament Book of John chapter 14. Genuine,
intelligent Bible believers, who ARE NOT "BOUGHT AND PAID FOR," say, God is a male for absolute certain. I had occasion to ask a woman hospital nurse
a question. She was middle
aged, highly skilled and educated, and I understood her to be a knowledgeable Bible believer. I got her off to the side - so she would not be influenced
by anyone. I asked, "Does the
Bible teach God is a male?" Her answer was sure and immediate --"YES." Then I asked, "Do you realize the great majority of Bible
teachers, preachers, etc., say God is neuter." Her answer was again immediate, and sure -- "I GO BY THE BIBLE." I felt like saying, "Amen,
sister." If you ask,
in private, knowledgeably persons for whom the Bible IS their FINAL AUTHORITY, they will answer as that nurse did. These are usually lay folks with NO church
positions that could be jeopardized. If you ask persons WITH church positions, pastors, bible teachers, etc. -- They will usually say God is neuter, having
no body. There are individual
exceptions among clergy. I have met less than a handful. The correct answer -- God DOES HAVE A SUPER-DUPER SPIRIT BODY AND IT IS A MALE
BODY! THIS IS
NOT JUST ME SAYING THIS -- THIS IS THE CANDID, AND CLEAR TEACHING OF THE WHOLE BIBLE IN THOUSANDS OF PARTICULARS. Philippians 3 says: 20 For our conversation is in heaven; from whence also we look for the Saviour, the Lord Jesus Christ: 21 Who shall change our vile body, that it may
be fashioned like unto his glorious body, according to the working whereby he is able even to subdue all things unto
himself. Jesus Christ DOES HAVE a
body RIGHT NOW, it is a MALE body, that is what "his" means. He is exactly the image of God, NOW, in his resurrection body. GOD IS A STRAIGHT MALE. NOTE -- MODERN BIBLES ARE FUDGING MORE AND MORE IN THE "POLITICALLY
CORRECT" DIRECTION -- AWAY FROM GENDER DISTINCTION -- AWAY FROM THE SUPERNATURAL, ETC. For this reason the old KING JAMES BIBLE is the best,
by far. See
my page -- Why the King James Bible.
God put Moses in a clift of the rock on Mt. Sinai. |

Then took away his hand and let Moses see his "back parts," but not his face -- God does have a body |
Many theologians and church leaders say that God is a spirit and thus does not have a body and does not really have
gender. THEY ARE DEAD WRONG! They say he is only being “anthropomorphic”
in representing himself as a male person, to us mortals. This would amount to God, "MISrepresenting himself." This doctrine is
horribly wrong. THIS IS FALSE. God is completely ABLE
to be BOTH a spirit and a male person. It is NOT true, as these theologians are effectively saying, that God is speaking falsely and MISrepresenting
himself throughout the entire Bible. And
further, that the Bible is obviously, massively, wrong, cover to cover. God is completely truthful. Exodus
31:18: And he (God) gave unto Moses, when he had made an end of communing with him upon Mount Sinai, two tables
of testimony, tables of stone, written with the FINGER of God. (The Ten Commandments) Obviously, God has a FINGER. Exodus 33: 21-23: And the LORD said (to Moses), "Behold, there is a place by me, and thou shalt stand upon
a rock: And it shall come to pass, while my glory passeth by, that I will put thee in a clift of the rock, and will
cover thee with my HAND while I pass by: And
I will take away mine HAND, and thou shalt see my BACK PARTS: but my FACE shall not be seen." Obviously God, by his OWN direct statements, has a
FACE, A HAND, BACK PARTS, AND OF COURSE, A FINGER! The
Bible is correct, the religious “experts” are dead wrong. This is the same situation when Jesus walked this earth, he and the Scribes and Pharisees (religious leaders) were
constantly at odds! The situation
has NOT changed! Revelation 4:2
-- And immediately I (John) was in the spirit: and, behold, a throne was set in heaven, and one SAT on the throne (God).
5:1 And I saw in the RIGHT HAND of him (God)
that SAT on the throne a book written within and on the backside, sealed with seven seals. Plainly God is seated on his throne and has a book in his right hand.
Yes, God DOES HAVE a body! This includes a RIGHT HAND, TOO!
There are about 20 verses in the Bible showing or depicting God SEATED on his
throne. Plainly, God MUST have a body to sit on his throne. Some will introduce a “red herring” in that there are several Bible verses where God speaks metaphorically
as though he has wings. Such as, Exodus
19:4: God says, "Ye have seen what I did unto the Egyptians, and how I bare you on eagles' wings, and brought you
unto myself." And in Ruth 2:12: Boaz
says, "The LORD recompense thy work, and a full reward be given thee of the LORD God of Israel, under whose wings thou
art come to trust." We know that this occasional
"wing" terminology is to be taken non-literally from Jesus’ plain words in John 14:8-9: Philip saith unto him (Jesus), Lord, "show us the Father,
and it sufficeth us." Jesus saith unto him,
"Have I been so long time with you, and yet hast thou not known me, Philip?" "He that hath seen me hath seen the Father; and how sayest thou then, Show us
the Father?" Plainly Jesus did not
have wings, so neither does the heavenly Father. It is clear that Jesus’ body accurately represents the Father’s body, and we believers will one day see
the Father. Thus, God is a straight male.
Rev 22:4 says: And they shall see his face;
and his name shall be in their foreheads.
Hebrews 1:3 (New Testament), tells us Jesus Christ is
the EXPRESS IMAGE of his (God’s) person. The Greek word underlying "image" is "charakter." This is the ONLY place in the Bible it is used.
It means an EXACT COPY, in this context. Thus, God MUST BE a male person! Jesus Christ was circumcised the eighth day of his life, just like all Jewish
baby boys. He is a male. If we consider 1
Corinthians 15:35-50 we see that in the resurrection we will be spirits, WITH spirit bodies, AND be in God’s image:
God DOES have a body! 1 Corinthians 15: "But some man will say, How are the dead raised
up? and with what body do they come? Thou fool,
that which thou sowest is not quickened, except it die: And that which thou sowest, thou sowest not that body that shall be, but bare grain, it may chance of wheat, or of
some other grain: But God giveth it a body as
it hath pleased him, and to every seed his own body. All
flesh is not the same flesh: but there is one kind of flesh of men, another flesh of beasts, another of fishes, and another
of birds. There are also celestial bodies, and
bodies terrestrial: but the glory of the celestial is one, and the glory of the terrestrial is another. There is one glory of the sun, and another glory of the moon, and another glory
of the stars: for one star differeth from another star in glory. So also is the resurrection of the dead. It is sown in corruption; it is raised in incorruption: It is sown in dishonour; it is raised in glory: it is sown in weakness; it is raised in power: It is sown a natural body; it is raised
a spiritual body. There is a natural body, and
there is a spiritual body. And so it is written,
The first man Adam was made a living soul; the last Adam was made a quickening spirit. Howbeit that was not first which is spiritual, but that which is natural; and afterward
that which is spiritual. The first man is of the
earth, earthy; the second man is the Lord from heaven. As is the earthy, such are they also that are earthy: and as is the heavenly, such are they also that are heavenly.
And as we have borne the image of the earthy,
we shall also bear the image of the heavenly. Now
this I say, brethren, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God; neither doth corruption inherit incorruption." Plainly, being a spirit does NOT prevent God from having
a body. HE HAS A SPIRIT BODY! It is a terrible
heresy, sin, and outrageous insult to God, for theologians to hold this view -- that God has no body.

Some hundred plus years of Darwinian evolution have
fooled many people into thinking the Bible is wrong in many places. But now we have the stunning, SIDE BY SIDE, COMPARISON of our own painstakingly made high tech world, AND God’s
painstakingly made molecular, biological, high tech world. Realize that atoms are atoms. The
oxygen, hydrogen, carbon, etc., atoms, in living things are exactly the same as those atoms in non-living things. Both, obey the laws of physics, the same way. God specially created this universe, including us. This
is obvious! -- JUST AS WE CREATED OUR HIGH-TECH WORLD. Continuing investigation of nature with better and better, high tech tools, always show nature to be much, much,
much, more intricate and wonderful than we ever imagined. The Bible is exactly right about special creation, after all, and we can place the utmost confidence in the plain
teaching of the Bible that God is indeed a straight male person. God THE FATHER, is HE, Israel is SHE. Jesus Christ, God’s Son, and God in his own right, is HE. His Bride, known as the Church, is SHE. God
is a straight male, and is the very definition of manhood. Womanhood is that personage, which is THE compliment to God's masculine being, and to real men, too. These, both, together, are critical in showing that God is a
straight male. Together, a married man and woman
are the complete image of God.
God is a STRAIGHT MALE, NOT NEUTER, as most, so-called, religious
leaders, say. The Apostles Creed and the Lord's Prayer, and the Bible are correct: I believe
in God the Father Almighty, Maker of heaven and earth. And in Jesus Christ his only Son our Lord. Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name.
Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven. Philip saith unto him, Lord, show us the Father, and it sufficeth us. Jesus saith unto him, Have I been so long time with you, and yet hast thou not known me,
Philip? he that hath seen me hath seen the Father;
and how sayest thou then, Show us the Father? -- New Testament Book of John chapter 14.
