Is God gender fluid?

[Mindful]

It seems that Justin Trudeau thinks the the human race is gender fluid.

Mankind = humankind.

Humankind is a much more accurate term for the entire human race. It isn't just "men."

One could take that concept to extremities.

Perhaps starting with the Statue of Liberty.

Mankind is just a term, I never even thought of as a particularly male encompassing domain.

The Statue of Liberty has nothing to do with it. "She" is Lady Liberty, and the model was the sculptor's mother.

In other words a female?

Can't have that. We need to be more inclusive.

No, it doesn't. It is a bad comparison and makes no sense.

Put it down to our cultural differences. And leave it at that.

God made evil exist. God's creation was made with evil in it. I'm asking why?

I am offering another perspective that you do not seem to want to consider: Anything can be used for good; anything can be used for evil. Fire, for example can be used for cooking and warmth. Arson can be used for death and destruction. How do you propose God rid humans of arson? Should He take away fire? Should He take away choice in how someone uses fire?

So it comes down to anthropromophising God?

How so? Genesis tells us God's creation is good. How is that anthropromophising God?

God doesn't have a gender.

You seem to be pretty sure about this. Did you grab him by the pussy, or something?

G-d doesn't have a gender, or physical genitalia. So..... can't happen.

That's all we've been doing here, so far.

But why did god make it possible for evil like arson to exist?

Are you asking, Why did He make humans?

So why did god make a universe with that shit in it?

I am thinking you did not go back and re-read my original post on this. So let's try this final approach. Gold is one of the elements found on earth, as is oxygen. Yet people are greedy for gold, to the point of stealing and murdering to attain it. Is gold evil? Is your argument, "God should never have made gold?"

No, God shouldn't have allowed evil to exist. So why did he? And what's so hard to understand?

GOD either had to allow evil to continue to exist or destroy everyone and everything and begin again. Obviously, HE had no desire to do that. HE knew that there would be those (no matter how few) HE could save because they would listen to HIM and accept HIM. The rest will eventually go to their eternal destruction anyway. Evil exists because Adam sinned --- what is so hard to understand?

Is God transgender? and
I am a transsexual Orthodox Jew. And I won’t apologize for it

I found two articles on it, and it appears its not quite so, but who cares. People are people, but there is male and female in all of us, and even some are born intersex, they say 1 in 2000. So that is a lot of people. Too think that God is a male and sometimes a female, that seems quite right in my honest opinion. Yet God is male, why because men wrote the OT, NT, and Quran.

Everyone has crosses to bear. Some people deal with drug addition, some with pornography addition, some are alcoholics, and some have various health issues --- among other things. None of which are excuses to GOD for living in sin ---- Orthodox or otherwise.

I'm asking why did god make humans to be able to be evil?

Why did god make evil and allow it to exist? And don't say because some guy ate an apple, that's really, really dumb.

I’m a rabbi, and so I’m particularly saddened whenever religious arguments are brought in to defend social prejudices — as they often are in the discussion about transgender rights. In fact, the Hebrew Bible, when read in its original language, offers a highly elastic view of gender. And I do mean highly elastic: In Genesis 3:12, Eve is referred to as “he.” In Genesis 9:21, after the flood, Noah repairs to “her” tent. Genesis 24:16 refers to Rebecca as a “young man.” And Genesis 1:27 refers to Adam as “them.”

The answer to Taz’s question is so that good could come from it. Life is a test.

So let's say some guy kills a whole family and is executed. What good came from that?

I am referring to a previous conversation in this forum where you avoided answering direct questions about your beliefs or were intentionally vague in your answers. I am not trying to insult you.
