  • If you want it to be sure. You could make him a giant banana if you wanted too.
  • God is neither male nor female. He is called "He" because of the patriarchal society when the Bible was written, but God does not have genitalia.
  • no but a woman can be a God depending on what shes wearing and how many women are available for dating at that time.
  • If God is a woman and Mary is a woman does that mean they are in a same sex relationship? I wonder who does all the manly things in the relationship?
  • i dont think so but that was good question but no he's a man
  • Our FATHER who art in heaven.Jesus said I and the Father are one.Get that? FATHER.
  • God can be anything you want HIM to be.
  • No. A woman is a mortal human. She would be a Goddess.
  • If God were a woman she would have never made up her mind to create the Earth.
  • God is beyond gender and is all forms. So yes you can see God as a woman, certainly. Most religions have the Goddess. Anything that helps you envision the almighty and the power is fine with God, just meditate and pray on whatever form you hold sacred and God answers.
  • Since this is in the Mormon section, the answer is yes. Because in Mormonism anything is passable. Although, if this were in the Christian section, the answer would be emphatically NO. God never referred to himself in the feminine or even in a asexual manner. He is always referred to in the masculine. Jesus stated that " I and my Father are one" Once again, in Mormonary Land, there is a heavenly mother, as there god is only an elevated man and or woman. Hay, I might have started new Revelation. New LDS official unofficial doctrine. It has been revealed to me that god is actually a woman. Sorry, I digressed. With so much amazingly funny stuff entwined in LDS doctrine, one can hardly resist, it is just laughable. Any ways...
  • Sure, any fictional character can be changed into anything. That's the beauty of fiction.
  • Catholics believe that God transcends the human distinction between the sexes. It is traditional and scriptural to address God as He or Him. However, if you wish, it would not be wrong to address God as She or Her. Remember immediately after describing God as a shepherd looking for his lost sheep, Jesus describes God as a woman looking for her lost coin (Luke 15:8-10). For more information, see the Catechism of the Catholic Church, section 239: http://www.usccb.org/catechism/text/pt1sect2chpt1art1p2.shtml With love in Christ.
  • SHORT ANSWER: Since you asked this is the Mormon section I assume that you're looking for an answer from the perspective of LdS Theology. Therefore, the answer from that perspective is, "Yes, it is strongly implied and it has been established that in LdS Theology there is indeed a "God the Mother" just as there is a "God the Father". LdS Leaders throughout history have been quick to point out that we are NOT to worship "God the Mother" but clearly she is a presence in the Mormon world view and system of Theology. LONG ANSWER: (from WikiPedia) "The theological underpinnings of a belief in Heavenly Mother is attributed to Joseph Smith, Jr., founder of the Latter Day Saint movement, who shortly before his death in 1844 outlined a controversial view of God that differed dramatically from traditional Christian consensus.[7] Smith's theology included the belief that God would share his glory with his children and that humans might become exalted beings, or gods and goddesses, in the afterlife (see Exaltation). Although there is no clear record of Joseph Smith teaching of Heavenly Mother publicly, several of Smith's contemporaries attributed the theology to him either directly, or as a consequence of his theological stance. An editorial footnote of History of the Church, 5:254, presumably quotes Joseph Smith as saying: "Come to me; here's the mysteries man hath not seen, Here's our Father in heaven, and Mother, the Queen." In addition, a secondhand account states that in 1839, Joseph Smith had told Zina Diantha Huntington, one of Smith's plural wives, after the death of her mother, that "not only would she know her mother again on the other side, but 'more than that, you will meet and become acquainted with your eternal Mother, the wife of your Father in Heaven'."[8] In addition, members of the Anointed Quorum, a highly select spiritual organization in the early Church that was privy to Smith's teachings, also acknowledged the existence of a Heavenly Mother.[9] Also, the Times and Seasons published a letter to the editor from a person named "Joseph's Specked Bird" in which the author stated that in the pre-Earth life, the spirit "was a child with his father and mother in heaven".[10] In 1845, after the murder of Joseph Smith, the poet Eliza Roxy Snow, published a poem entitled My Father in Heaven, (later titled Invocation, or the Eternal Father and Mother, now used as the lyrics in the popular Latter-day Saint hymn O My Father), acknowledges the existence of a Heavenly Mother.[11] This hymn contained the following language: In the heavens are parents single? No, the thought makes reason stare. Truth is reason: truth eternal tells me I've a mother there. Some early Mormons considered Eliza Snow to be a "prophetess".[12] Later, however, Church President Joseph F. Smith (a nephew of Joseph Smith, Jr.) explained his own belief that "God revealed that principle that we have a mother as well as a father in heaven to Joseph Smith; Joseph Smith revealed it to Eliza Snow Smith, his wife; and Eliza Snow was inspired, being a poet, to put it into verse."[13] The doctrine is also attributed to several other early church leaders. According to one sermon by Brigham Young, Joseph Smith once said he "would not worship a God who had not a father; and I do not know that he would if he had not a mother; the one would be as absurd as the other" (Journal of Discourses, vol.9, p.286). #7 ^ See King Follett Discourse; Smith 1844. #8 ^ Wilcox 1987, p. 65. #9 ^ Wilcox 1987, pp. 65-67; Orson Pratt 1876, p. 292; Wilford Woodruff 1875, pp. 31-32. #10 ^ Joseph's Specked Bird 1845, p. 892. #11 ^ Snow 1845.

  • No. the bible clearly states he is masculine in nature. If God was a woman id kill mmyself so i could go to hell and not have to be slave to a bitch.
  • IF God exists then it wouldn't have a gender because that is a earthly thing. The bible says God is masculine because at the time it was written, Males were superior to Females
  • Since gods are our creations anyway, they can be whatever we want them to be - from ineffable, genderless forces to multi-armed, elephant-headed women...
  • God could be anything, a woman, a coatrack, a figment of your imagination - virtually anything you can think of - god could be. Around my house, the joke was "God is a noun". A noun being " a person, place, or thing".
  • Well that depends entirely on your deffinition of God. There are several: http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/God By the most common deffinition: "A being conceived as the perfect, omnipotent, omniscient originator and ruler of the universe, the principal object of faith and worship in monotheistic religions." The answer is He can no more be a woman than I can, simply because He isn't one. The true God the only actual existing being that fits the above description so far as we're concerned just so happens to be male. - We know this because He has appeared to people and talked to them, and His Son calls Him Father.
