The Gender of God
There is this assumption that Yahweh is male. We find the very first mention of this in Genisis where the writer narrarates Yahweh strolling through His garden. How the writer could witness God before being created is a miracle that proves God’s existence alone.
Yahweh supposedly made Adam in His likeness before removing the rib from Adam to make Eve, a woman.
They always forget Lilith.
Whenever God interacted with man after Eden, he had to hide behind bright lights and burning bushes or use angels as his intermediaries. Who is to say man is in His likeness?
In fact it wasn’t until the early 16th century when Michaelangelo painted God hovering on a cloud turning Adam on like E.T. phoning home. God became an old bearded man from then on.
Angels are androgynous. They represent neither sex. The very idea of gender disgusts angels. The androgyny was so erotic to humans that it caused quite an incident in the city of Sodom.
Angels also live in the same plane as Yahweh. Angels take messages from God and bring it into our plane. To make us comfortable, an angel has a humanoid form the puts us at ease when being told to kill our son, to kill of a whole people so that their land can be ours, or that a messiah baby has been put into a virginal womb to incubate.
This has me curious to how God could possible be a man.
So I dug deeper into the scriptures and interviewed people who claimed to have spoken with God.
God is not a he or she. God can not have a gender, for a gender is subjective, and the celestial don’t dabble in subjectives, a God is beyond the definitions of gender.
Now that technology has rebuilt the Tower of Babel and we are teetering at the doorstep of Yahweh’s Jerusalem, we can see that God isn’t a man. A man by definition is small, alone, and greedy, and God is not that. God is non-binary. God’s gender is in constant fluidity.
Think about the pure silence God has used to answer our prayers. This is because all of religion has been built on the foundation that God is a He. They look down on the temples and the churches and at their son crucified on a cross with the understanding that they sacrificed their son to make some kind of point, but it was men who had done that.
Their son was supposed to make a few things clear, but using a message that doesn’t live in either gender’s temples proved hard to translate, so he was crucified.
Of the temples and the churches were to disassemble and then reassemble to worship a genderless God, maybe then our meek prayers will finally be answered.
Until then, the heavens scream in silence.
