One of my readers shared this lesson from Myles Munroe, and I like it.

Dear Chude,

God has male and female features. Does this mean God has no gender?

But think about it, God made “man” in God’s image and likeness; man looks and behaves like God. Then God also made them male and female. Note that before God formed man from the earth, their spirit was first created in male and female expressions.

Let’s paraphrase, God made the spirit being called man. This spirit being called man was made in God’s image and likeness. Man was expressed as male and female. So it implies that God is male and female.

Why do humans (the humus spirit beings) refer to God as He?
Answer: Culture. The male is (often) the leader of the human race (today).

Just adding my two cents here. How are you today?
