Why do we use Masculine gender to represent God as HE? Why don't we consider God as Feminine?

Question

In Holy Qur'on, to represent God only He, His, Him, are used. Why is there such a discrimination?

Answer 1

Come on man. Thats life. Deal with it.

Answer 2

Why do you call a girl a girl is that discrimination, the Bible is the Only words of our Creator and has thousands of years in evidence which proofs this to be true. Religions such as Islamic, Buddhism, Hinduism, New age Opera religion etc have zero credibility in their truth, so now we have the truth that the Bible is the words of our Creator , God Himself refers to Himself as Father which is Masculine So where we you when God spoke the universe into existence and all that's in it into existence , So who are you to judge God on discrimination. And even in the cult of secularism we refer our self to Mankind not to womankind

Answer 3

The problem is from our point of view. We are designed to have two sexes, and one of them has to be in charge. As the holy scriptures point out, Adam was created first. We understand that man is to be the head of the family.



God, is the head of all, is naturally referred to as Father, since in the spirit realm there is NO division among the spirits by sex, since it doesn't exist. God uses references in speaking to us in terms we can relate to, and understand. Father is a clearly understood position, representing proper authority.



We have to remember in Genesis, when God created man, it wasn't just after he created Adam that he saw that everything was very good. It was after he created Eve. The phrase that "let us make man in our image" refers to the couple, not just Adam alone. Women are also in the "image" of God, and their dominate qualities reflects God's love, caring and nurturing that are part of God's personality.



It is not a bias on our part, it is how God also describes himself. He speaks to all his creation, human or spirit as their father.

Answer 4

The Word of God, which is the only holy, living book on this planet, states clearly the masculine gender in referring to Jehovah God and to Jesus Christ His only begotten Son, Who is the ONLY way to be joined to the Father in heaven. There is no other way but Jesus.

Answer 5

Because long ago before women had rights in countries, men were always known as "strong" and "powerful". Men ruled the world basically. Even in the word "woman" the word "man" is in it. It was known as a "man's world". Now that religions are still around since he was always known as a man, they keep God that way.

Answer 6

The same can be said for all of the Abrahamic religions. They are all sexist and misogynistic, and are the reason many women were kept in subservient positions for thousands of years.



Men wrote the bible glorifying themselves, and demonizing women. They made women the scapegoats for their bad behavior. Why, even muslim force women to cover themselves because of mens' "lust."--how pathetic.

Answer 7

It's not discrimination. God is the Father.

Answer 8

Male is stronger than female even in animal kingdom. So if we have male god and female goddess, male god is supposed to be powerful than female goddess. So humans prefer to call God as male, so as to reap more benefits.

Answer 9

Because they were written by men at a time when women were considered little more than property and breeders
