Why is God a He?

Is God non-binary?   Gender activists will claim this is true, arguing that God does not have a physical body, therefore it makes no sense to refer to God with male (or female) pronouns.  While this may be an issue with other religions, it is clearly not the case in Christianity.  The core teaching in Christianity can be found in John 3:16:

For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.

God the Father.  He/his/him.

Yet how is it that God can be referred to with male pronouns when he is not a biological male and has no physical body? 

Easy.

Recall when I explained WHY the sex binary even exists?  Let me refresh your memory:

Why is it that the sex binary exists? Why are there two sexes and only two sexes? The answer comes from an better appreciation of the functional roles the sperm and ova play. Put simply, the sperm function as the donor while the ova function as the recipients.  Or, if you prefer more of an engineer’s perspective, the sperm play the role of sender, while the ovum is the receiver.……Two functional roles nicely explain why the sex binary exists. There is no third sex because there is no third role to play in a donor/recipient interaction or in a sender/receiver function. Donate, receive. Send, receive. That’s it. No place or reason for the third role

God is a He because God, in relation to His creation, is the Sender.  We are the receiver.  He sends His love, His guidance, His salvation.  We receive His love, His guidance, His salvation.

As the Bible teaches:  God has sent His only begotten Son into the world so that we might live through Him…..He sent out his word and healed them……he who receives Me receives Him who sent Me.

God is the Sender and we are the receivers of that which He has sent.

    The reason that the ideologues must assert a falsehood here is also obvious: if God is the Father, then the universe is fundamentally a Patriarchy. Can’t have that.

  2. Everything has to be deconstructed and then reconstructed in their own image.

    REEEEEE!!!!

    ==Is God [sexually] non-binary?==

    To ask whether (or assert that) God is ‘non-binary’ is absurd, for it is a category-error; if there is such a thing as more absurd than a category error, then this question would fit the bill.

    There is no species of ‘God’; there is one, singular God. There is no sexual reproduction of this ‘God’ with that ‘God’ to bring into being another ‘God’. There is God, and God alone.

    ==Gender activists will claim this is true, arguing that God does not have a physical body, therefore it makes no sense to refer to God with male (or female) pronouns.==

    While it is true that God — the Divinity, the Godhead — is not a physical being, is not a member of sexually reproducing species, and thus is physically/sexually neither male nor female, it is also true that God encompasses both sexes. For, *nothing* has being but that God participates in its being.

    Moreover, it is *also* true that God has entered his creation *as* a man, as a sexual being … and thus, as God is not a temporal being, the Son, the Second Person of the Godhead, has *always* been a human being, has always been a *male* human being.

    And then, as our Host has argued, the relationship between the Creator and the Creation is not simply/merely/only that of Parent to Child, but more fundamentally that of Husband to Wife.

    ==… therefore it makes no sense to refer to God with male (or female) pronouns.==

    So, “respect the pronouns” is not an iron-bound rule? Whodathunk that leftists could be hypocrites?
