It could be that all of our reasoning and wondering from a fleshly point of view is making God into something that God isn't.
I like the way the ancient people thought, that it was only important to learn the facts and make their life fit into what those facts were. They didn't think about logic, or reasoning things through. It didn't make for their ability to invent new things like our way of thinking does, but in some ways it led to knowing truth.
When we apply our way of thinking to God, we sometimes create a God who is more like the idols, one that is man made.

Well that is your own opinion of what I said. Faith or not, no one knows what God looks like. I agree with the aspects of the male and the female characteristics that may have stemmed from God, used to create humans, along with non physical attributes that He used to create us.

Jesus was ALWAYS in the picture. He is co-equal with God, the Father, and God, the Spirit, and had an active role in creation.
Does God have feminine characteristics as well as masculine? I believe so, and when He put those characteristics in woman when He created her, He created her in His image just as He had also created man in His image.
Most Christians seem to agree that the plural language used by God at the creation is a reference to the Trinity. He has chosen to reveal Himself to us in the masculine in at least two of the three Persons: God the Father, and God the S

"...in the image of God created he him...". It then proceeds to say he created them, but omits the usage of "in his image".
I really don't mean to sound sexist, but they are not physically equal. Common biological and human anatomical knowledge would attest. They are equal in a very different context, I believe.
If I marry someone and we become one flesh, does that mean I lose my identity? Is my being or the entity of Siberian Khatru now one and the same as my wife, and vice versa? How does that mean that? I'm being sincere and not cynical, btw.
Is that like being Assistant to the Regional Manager, instead of Assistant Regional Manager?

Well said Ugly. I must agree with you. The only goddesses mentioned in the bible served satan.
You simply can't cut and paste scriptures together and ignore their greater context. That is like driving a square peg into a round hole. It may fit into the hole, but it is a very, very poor fit!
It seems obvious to me that you had this belief and are now trying to prove it by doing a hack job on what the bible really does teach. God has no goddess but HE does have a bride. His bride is the church.
