Jesus addressing God as "Father" is not the same as stating that God is male. While in English usage, "father" implies "male", God is spirit, not flesh, and we cannot assume that the same rules apply.

Again, Scripture does not state that God is male. If you hold that God is male, and men are made in God's image, then you must logically conclude that women are not made in God's image. Are you so foolish as to affirm such codswollop?

The Natural Man have no humbleness because they are discerned.
Without the humbleness to the word of God. The truth is foolishness.
1 CORINTHIANS 2:14
14 But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned.

Our Lord Jesus Christ in his 1st Role as The Everlasting Father (Isaiah 9:6) has the foreknowledge.
He knows that Judas will hanged himself that is why he said that to him.

The real sins of Judas was he dipped his bread in Jesus bowl means he position himself to the same level as our Lord. The bowl (means titles) is just exclusively for Our Lord Jesus as The Everlasting Father.
And that is unacceptable to Jesus as the Everlasting Father.

But the 11 disciples did not say that to Judas to hang himself (despite the fact that it was being said by Jesus to Judas) because they don't want to position themselves with the same level as our Lord Jesus as Everlasting Father.

But now you are saying that to me as if you have the Foreknowledge same as Jesus Christ as Everlasting Father.
Does it mean you are positioning yourself to the level of Our Lord Jesus as Judas did?

MARK 14:16-21
16 The disciples left, went into the city and found things just as Jesus had told them. So they prepared the Passover.

17 When evening came, Jesus arrived with the Twelve. 18 While they were reclining at the table eating, he said, “Truly I tell you, one of you will betray me—one who is eating with me.”

19 They were saddened, and one by one they said to him, “Surely you don’t mean me?”

20 “It is one of the Twelve,” he replied, “one who dips bread into the bowl with me. 21 The Son of Man will go just as it is written about him. But woe to that man who betrays the Son of Man! It would be better for him if he had not been born.”

PLEASE DON'T DO IT.

While we are alive we have chances.

The Holy Bible is a Love Letter from God the Father.
According to Him, every word in the Bible is of God.

JOHN 1:1
1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.

I agree that every word in the Bible is of God. However, the verse you quoted is talking about the incarnate Word, the Lord Jesus Christ, because as John 1:14 says:

“And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we beheld His glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father, full of grace and truth.” (Joh 1:14 NKJV)

Surely you are not saying that you believe the bible (which when John was writing was the Old Testament) became flesh, and dwelt among the disciples?

Let us connect the 3 verses and I hope it will help to understand
JOHN 1:1
1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.

JOHN 1:14
14 And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth.

Isn't this Truth was revealed to Paul when Paul said.
1 TIMOTHY 3:16
16 And without controversy great is the mystery of godliness: God was manifest in the flesh, justified in the Spirit, seen of angels, preached unto the Gentiles, believed on in the world, received up into glory.

Yes, I believe that in 1 Timothy 3:16 Paul s writing about Jesus Christ, sometimes referred to as the incarnate Word, just as John was writing in John 1. Neither John nor Paul were saying that the written word of God, the bible, became flesh.

Yes in God's revelation:
John 1:1 The Word was God
John 1:14 The Word was made Flesh and Dwelt among us.

Therefore God was made Flesh and Dwelt among us 1 Timothy 3:16.

It seems you have changed from what you wrote earlier: "The Holy Bible is a Love Letter from God the Father.
According to Him, every word in the Bible is of God.

JOHN 1:1
1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God."

There, you seemed to be saying that John 1:1 was talking about the written word, the bible. I am glad you are now saying that it and 1 Timothy 3:16 are talking about Jesus Christ, the incarnate Word.

Hogwash and codswollop. The real sin of Judas was selling out Jesus to the Sanhedrin. Nowhere in Scripture does it say that “bowls” means “titles”.

You’re going farther off the deep end.

Getting back on topic, I believe God literally created humanity as both a physical species (like animals)
and with spiritual consciousness and moral conscience (like God).

Yes Holy Bible is a love letter from God the Father. It is because God is Love

God said he speaks earthly things so we could understand heavenly things.
JOHN 3:12
12 If I have told you earthly things, and ye believe not, how shall ye believe, if I tell you of heavenly things?

Let us take an example an earthly things.

You have a love ones residing abroad. then your love ones sent you a letter (brother, sister, mother or father).
The time you are reading the letter as if he or she is just in front of you and talking to you.

Scripture does not state that God is a male.

God is Spirit, not flesh. Male and female are attributes of flesh.

The "image of God" is not fleshly.

If it is difficult to reconcile from God Created Men Literal Physical to Ecclesiastes 1:9. It doesn't mean that Father is Not a Male or Husband is Not a Male. It doesn't make sense.

God is bigger than your limited "sense". Stop trying to teach me; firstly, you're not qualified, and secondly, you're teaching errors.

If you truly believe that every word applies to you today, then...

Matthew 27:5
And he cast down the pieces of silver in the temple, and departed, and went and hanged himself.

Luke 10:37
Then said Jesus unto him, Go, and do thou likewise.

John 13:27
Then said Jesus unto him, That thou doest, do quickly.

I'll wait while you process that.

When it comes to the words of God (Spiritual Things). There are only 2 teachers namely: Jesus Christ & The Devil

Asking me to take my own life is not a teaching from our Lord Jesus Christ.
Try to read the entire John Chapter 6.
This is the teaching of Jesus Christ.

Our Lord Jesus fed the 5,000 Men aside from Women & Children and they were filled.

When Jesus shared to them the Truth to save them.
JOHN 6:51
51 I am the living bread which came down from heaven: if any man eat of this bread, he shall live for ever: and the bread that I will give is my flesh, which I will give for the life of the world.

Because they don't understand it, they resisted.
JOHN 6:60
60 Many therefore of his disciples, when they had heard this, said, This is an hard saying; who can hear it?

Then Jesus just let them to leave.
JOHN 6:66
66 From that time many of his disciples went back, and walked no more with him.

Jesus never said to them to take their own life.

You did not fed me and yet you are asking me to take my own life (suicide or to murder myself).

Who is your Teacher among the two Teachers?

Among the two teachers one of them is a murderer according to Our Lord Jesus, same as you wish to murder myself by means of suicide.
JOHN 8:44
44 Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it.

As I said Jesus Christ is the teacher and nobody on earth could be a teacher (Revelation 5:1-5)

I'm not teaching you.
I'm just sharing and my sharing is for everybody. You can take it or you can leave it. No big deal.

How do you convince readers that God of Abraham, Isaac & Jacob whom they call him FATHER is not a Male?
Despite God the Father said he is the husband in Isaiah 54:5 and you said HUSBAND is not Male.

Although God the Father said that Our Lord Jesus Christ is the image of invisible God.
Then I will not be surprised if you will say that Our Lord Jesus is not a Male.
COLOSSIANS 1:15
15 Who is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of every creature:

By reading in Genesis 1 that both male and female are in God's image.
Thus, it would be more technically accurate to call God "Our Parent who art in heaven".
