Gosh, sex and the Bible in one thread! How could I have let it go so
long? <eg>

This seems logical, but also misses the basic point that an insistence
on referring to God in male terms contradicts the assertion that God
is purely spiritual. Which is it? Body that takes male form (or
female, or both, or neither), or spirit that is beyond such
categories?
It seems to me that one has to choose, unless one thinks that there
are such things as male and female spiritual beings, God being chief
among the former.
