Exactly. It's pervasive in languages that inherit from Hebrew. Even our words matter and material come from Latin mater, which is the word for mother. Even the phrase "mother earth" comes from the same. Yes, you've got it. The precept appears in every ancient culture - in Israel, Sumer and...

It's embedded in the Hebrew language, but there are plenty of places in Scripture where you can see it. In Genesis 1, the first two verses contain the creation of unformed material and the rest of the passage concerns itself with the formation of that material into the world we know. There are...

I'll just give you the answer. And then you'll reject it. And then you'll be without excuse. From ancient times, creation was understood in terms of two roles, one female role and one male role... The first is best described as instantiation - the creation of material. This is the female...

I see that you made no attempt at doing so.

1) It was written in a language than you don't speak or read. 2) The authors belonged to a totally different culture than you do. 3) The book frequently uses symbolism and then tells the reader to interpret. 4) The book repeatedly makes allusions to another book that is hard to understand...

Why does the Bible consistently refer to God as "Father?" If you can answer this question, then you will also have the answer regarding God's gender.

אִישׁ can refer to any person, male or female. It's usually cased as אִשָּׁה when it's a female. But where it is contrasted with God, it just means human.

That isn't obvious to me at all. The prophet had a problem of perception that was lifted. Hard to say. Some angels are visible but would I know they were angels? I've never recognized a humanoid angel living on the earth. That's what I said. NOT crazy. But also NOT Biblical. Earth. The...

Yes... I understand that you're being obtuse on purpose.

That's a reasonable hypothesis based on the text. I wouldn't say it's generally accepted. But what about the other 2? The answer is in the first verse of the next chapter: Gen 19:1 Now the two angels came to Sodom in the evening...

Yes, yes you did... This is not always true. There are several examples of angels doing things that are physical. I've already given you one example - eating. No, no no. People were created in GOD'S image - not the likeness of angels.

That definitely isn't in the Bible. That would seem to indicate that the DO have a gender. You're extrapolating... hypothesizing... your ideas aren't crazy, but they also aren't actually in the Bible. That IS Biblical. The Bible nowhere says that heaven is a DIFFERENT DIMENSION. It says the...

That was the Angel of the Lord and two other angels. The two angels continued on to Sodom in the next chapter.

Genesis 18. Abraham prepares the angels a meal and they eat it. Your turn. Show me in scripture where angels are genderless.

You're re-asserting the same point without offering any evidence whatsoever. There are several types of angels. Some are ministering spirits. Are you quite sure that some of them aren't physical, corporeal beings? You haven't even ruled that out... And you won't be able to, because not all...

I claimed that something WASN'T in the Bible. It isn't exactly fair to ask me to show where the converse statement does exist in the Bible - I didn't argue that point. But you know what... it doesn't matter, because this is easy: "Our FATHER, who art in Heaven..." Or, look at the story of...

Certainly. From Sunday School up they teach us that the default state of man is that we are all wretched sinners.

Assuming that's your picture on your profile... you aren't ugly. You're pretty symmetrical and you seem to have all the normal parts.

It says ANGELS don't get married. Are angels the only kind of spirit? No.

Please provide the book, chapter and verse saying that spirits have no gender. You can't. It doesn't say that.
