Gender Twist Part 1 _ Sunday Twists S2E10 _ unraveled.
<blockquote><span style="background-color: transparent;"><strong><em>My apologies for the late posting. I had an issue with my account šŸ˜”.</em></strong></span></blockquote><p>It's yet another Sunday Twists time. Special thanks to everyone who contributed a quota to last week's episode.</p><p>So.....</p><p>*clears throat</p><p><br/></p><p>Last week, we asked:</p><p>Is God male?</p><p>Is God female?</p><p>Or have we simply assumed?</p><p><br/></p><p>Now let’s unravel.</p><blockquote><br/><strong>The answer is this.<br/></strong><strong>GOD IS SPIRIT. (John 4:24)</strong></blockquote><p>And that alone shifts the entire conversation.</p><p>Spirits do not have bodies.</p><p>They do not possess chromosomes.</p><p>They are not biologically male or female.</p><p><br/></p><p>Now when Scripture refers to God as He, what exactly is happening?</p><p>Language is happening and relationship is being communicated.</p><p>Let’s settle something foundational.</p><p>Genesis tells us we were made in God’s image.</p><p><br/></p><p>Now pause...</p><p>If God is Spirit, then ā€œimageā€ cannot be referring to physical body parts —</p><p>because there are no literal arms, eyes, or ears to replicate.</p><p>Yes, Scripture says things like:</p><p>ā€œBehold, the Lord’s hand is not shortened, that it cannot save; neither His ear heavy, that it cannot hear.ā€ — Isaiah 59:1</p><p>At first glance, that sounds physical.</p><p>But these are <strong><em>anthropomorphic</em></strong> expressions — human terms used to describe divine realities.</p><p>They are not anatomical descriptions.</p><p>They are communication tools.</p><p><br/></p><p>When the Bible speaks of God’s ā€œhand,ā€ it speaks of His power.</p><p>When it speaks of His ā€œear,ā€ it speaks of His attentiveness.</p><p>When it speaks of His ā€œeyes,ā€ it speaks of His awareness.</p><p>So being made in God’s image is not about resemblance of body —</p><p>it is about reflection of His nature- which is His Spirit.</p><p><br/></p><p>And Genesis 1:27 says:</p><p>ā€œMale and female created He them… in His image.ā€</p><p>If both male and female reflect His image,</p><p>then neither exclusively defines Him.</p><p>Male does not own God.</p><p>Female does not own God.</p><p>Both reflect Him.</p><blockquote><br/><strong>So Why ā€œFatherā€?šŸ¤”</strong></blockquote><p>Scripture consistently reveals God as Father.</p><p>Not because He is biologically male —</p><p>but because "Father" communicates:</p><p>• Source</p><p>• Authority</p><p>• Covenant Head</p><p>• Protector</p><p>It's a relational language not biological identity.</p><p><br/></p><p><strong>Guess what?...</strong></p><p>Yet the same Bible describes God:</p><p>ā€œAs a mother comforts her childā€¦ā€ (Isaiah 66:13)</p><p>Like a woman in labor (Isaiah 42:14)</p><p>As the One who gave birth (Deuteronomy 32:18)</p><p><br/></p><p>This means...</p><p>God transcends gender neither is He confined to it.</p><blockquote><strong>We were made in His image.<br/><span style="background-color: transparent;">He was not made in ours.</span></strong></blockquote><blockquote><strong>SELAHā™„ļø</strong></blockquote><blockquote><strong>Sunday Twists —<br/></strong><span style="background-color: transparent;"><strong>Where faith meets fresh perspective.</strong></span></blockquote><blockquote><strong>PEACE āœ‹šŸ˜Œ</strong></blockquote>
