God is neither male or female

This guest completely takes the bible out of context. Paul’s argument in Galatians 3 is that it is faith in Jesus, not circumcision, that makes someone a descendant of Abraham. Galatians 3:26-29: “For as many of you as were baptized into Christ have put on Christ. There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither slave nor free, there is no male and female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus. And if you are Christ’s, then you are Abraham’s offspring, heirs according to promise.” The point of this passage is pretty simple: regardless of ethnicity, gender, or socioeconomic status, everyone who believes in Christ is an heir of the promises God made to Abraham. It's not making any point at all about gender, in and of itself.

At the time of both Old and New Testaments there were female gods worshiped around the Mideast and Mediterranean. The Hebrews chose to make their god(s) masculine.

If Jesus, the Son of God, refers to God in heaven as "the father", who are we to misgender him? They demand respect for their pronouns but don't want to give that same respect to God.

In every depiction so I’m mainly talking about pictures and figures of GOD! HE! Is HE! He’s usually depicted as an elderly man with long white hair and beard and he wears a long white robe with gold trim and he usually has some kind of staff Also it seems and I might be wrong! But isn’t Jesus a male name ?
