The gender of God

God's gender really hasn't been much of a discussion until German higher criticism neutered the Bible. Now scripture's authors are accused of being men (which they were) and concocting a God in their image.

I'll be the first to say, "Not so." God's word is plain. God revealed Himself as our heavenly Father. God the Son took on flesh as Christ the man. Even the Holy Spirit is referred to throughout Scripture as "He."

Still, some struggle with this. Some seek additional confirmation. This isn't very authoritative, but you might find it interesting nonetheless.
