I apologize for my long and confusing posts, but I am trying to make point and that requires scripture and my post's point.
I did not say God was a woman, but a family. I said that God is male and female in attributes.. but He is Spirit and considered male.
You didn't answer my question, I asked when you see Jesus in scripture in the OT were it says
Lord God or
The Word of the LORD
came to..... do you consider them to be the same ONE God? Of course you do.. but remember the Word agreed to become flesh, to lower himself to the likeness of a man. Yet he was God as we seen that the Bible said God called him God. Wisdom is a she and she worked also along side God in creation and kings rule by her. Do you remember Jesus calling himself a mother hen who wants to gather her chicks?
Matt 23:37
37 O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, thou that killest the prophets, and stonest them which are sent unto thee,
how often would I have gathered thy children together, even as a hen gathereth her chickens under her wings, and ye would not!
KJV
Do you know that heavenly Jerusalem is our mother Gal.4:26 and the Holy Ghost feeds us and nourishes us as a mother with the Word of wisdom as we grow in her womb, under the blood, to form us into the image of Christ?
Here is more long boring scripture for you to show you what I mean about God's wisdom being a her along side Him, yet we understand Jesus to be the Word of life. All things originated from God rather male or female in attributes He Him, He Them
Just as the first Adam was both male and female in attributes(not sexually) so is there neither Jew nor Gentile, male nor female in the body of Christ who is the last Adam the One new man with all attributes of male and female yet our head is male so we are considered male. Man Child Rev 12 caught up to God's throne.
Prov 8:1-33
8:1 Doth not wisdom cry? and understanding put forth HER voice?
2 SHE standeth in the top of high places, by the way in the places of the paths.
3 SHE crieth at the gates, at the entry of the city, at the coming in at the doors.
4 Unto you, O men, I call; and my voice is to the sons of man.
5 O ye simple, understand wisdom: and, ye fools, be ye of an understanding heart.
6 Hear; for I will speak of excellent things; and the opening of my lips shall be right things.
7 For my mouth shall speak truth; and wickedness is an abomination to my lips.
8 All the words of my mouth are in righteousness; there is nothing froward or perverse in them.
9 They are all plain to him that understandeth, and right to them that find knowledge.
10 Receive my instruction, and not silver; and knowledge rather than choice gold.
11 For wisdom is better than rubies; and all the things that may be desired are not to be compared to it.
12 I wisdom dwell with prudence, and find out knowledge of witty inventions.
13 The fear of the LORD is to hate evil: pride, and arrogancy, and the evil way, and the froward mouth, do I hate.
14 Counsel is mine, and sound wisdom: I am understanding; I have strength.
15
By me kings reign, and princes decree justice.
16 By me princes rule, and nobles, even all the judges of the earth.
17 I love them that love me; and those that seek me early shall find me.
18 Riches and honour are with me; yea, durable riches and righteousness.
19 My fruit is better than gold, yea, than fine gold; and my revenue than choice silver.
20
I lead in the way of righteousness, in the midst of the paths of judgment:
21 That I may cause those that love me to inherit substance; and I will fill their treasures.
22 The LORD possessed me in the beginning of his way, before his works of old.
23 I was set up from everlasting, from the beginning, or ever the earth was.
24 When there were no depths, I was brought forth; when there were no fountains abounding with water.
25 Before the mountains were settled, before the hills was I brought forth:
26 While as yet he had not made the earth, nor the fields, nor the highest part of the dust of the world.
27 When he prepared the heavens,
I was there: when he set a compass upon the face of the depth:
28 When he established the clouds above: when he strengthened the fountains of the deep:
29 When he gave to the sea his decree, that the waters should not pass his commandment: when he appointed the foundations of the earth:
30
Then I was by him, as one brought up with him: and
I was daily his delight, rejoicing always before him;
31 Rejoicing in the habitable part of his earth; and my delights were with the sons of men.
32
Now therefore hearken unto me, O ye children: for blessed are they that keep my ways.
KJV
Prov 8:33-9:1
33 Hear instruction, and be wise, and refuse it not.
34 Blessed is the man that heareth me, watching daily at my gates, waiting at the posts of my doors.
35 For whoso findeth me findeth life, and shall obtain favour of the LORD.
36 But he that sinneth against me wrongeth his own soul: all they that hate me love death.
KJV
