Why God is saluted as Lord and why not as Lady (OH! Lord / Oh! Lady! - Thy wish may come)?
Lord may bless you, Lady may bless you what is the difference.
Why God is always masculine. Is there any God's name as feminine gender
Is there God and Gody or what is the feminine gender to God?
cross & father of God! I asked why a woman form is not but man form is God
After 6 answers, nobody says that God is male and nature is female. God creates and works through nature?
I prefer dd's answer, but still dilemma - God is a word to misguide us and I think both male and female are different form of God - i.e., a form the devotee like most - So God is a devotee-oriented form
dd: If you pour a little more light that God is to be experienced "through the form - male or female or any other, as we wish", I wanted to b firm on my idea about it..

God is neither male nor female.
God cannot be seen, as its formless.
In reality God cannot be explained, it can only be experienced.However in it both male and female aspect manifests.
Like love doesnot have gender, light doesnot has gender, God too doesnot have gender.
For the pupose of explaining it to the worldly people, terms like "God is father" r used. In reality it means nothing. In some religious beliefs its explained as Goddess.

God is the word we use for the creator of the universe. Other major religions use other words for God, but they mean the same thing. No human being knows what God is - a man, a woman, or just The Light and no one will until they die. Someone said a woman can't be a father, thus never god-like. However, women are life-givers and thus closer to the divine spark. Men fertilize, but they can't bring forth life on their own. So perhaps the logical answer is that God (the Divine spark) represents the masculine and the feminine, without which there would be no people.

Because all Fathers are male. Jesus confirmed to us that God is a Father and not Mother. When angels came to deliver messages from God, they talked about Him as a He and not She. He himself said He is a Father to Orphans and A Husband to widows. There is nothing feminine about this

That isn't completely true. There are instances where G-d is referred to as a female. Its just lost in the translation from Hebrew to English/Latin/Greek etc....
Doesn't really make a difference what pronoun you use to refer to G-d. G-d is neither man, woman or child. Its just semantics

Pergunta muito interessante!
De fato, um deus feminino e outro masculino é muitÃssimo comum nos mitos de origem em todo o planeta e também aqui na América, quando estudamos as mitologias indÃgenas.
Pessoalmente, quando vou invocar a Deus, como membro da Antiga e MÃstica Ordem Rosa Cruz, preferimos dizer "Deus do meu coração!" Deus da minha compreensão!". Assim, cada um o chama conforme o sente e o pensa.
Saudações!

Very interesting question! In fact, a feminine god and another masculine are very common in myths of origin in all the planet and also here in America, when we study aboriginal mythologies. Personally, when I go to invoke the God, as member of Ancien et Mystique Ordre de la Rose-Croix (AMORC), we prefer to say " God of my heart! " God of my understanding! ". Thus, each one flame feels in agreement it thinks and it. Greetings!

I guess it's got something to do with the role of the Father (aka Leader, Head etc). It's not so much a gender thing, but a title/position.

A woman was not nailed to the cross. A woman is not a father. You know... common sense.
