The thinking that it is just as valid to explain God in feminine terms as it is to explain him in masculine terms, that the two are just as valid, because there are mentions of God in feminine imagery, and there are mentions of God in masculine imagery. ThatвЂ™s the thinking that some people advance and let me say that thinking is very wrong. So, itвЂ™s just as proper to refer to God as being a woman, as it might be to refer to God as being a man.вЂќ But thereвЂ™s lots of places in the Bible where God refers to Himself in some kind of feminine imagery, or He connects Himself to some kind of feminine imagery. The idea is something like this: вЂњWell, everybody thinks God is a man. So that kind of forms the background to the question that looms broad is God, male, or is God female. God says, вЂњthatвЂ™s the comfort that IвЂ™m going to bring to My people.вЂќ God displays the kind of comfort that a mother (of course a woman) brings. Isaiah 66:13 does not directly say that God is a mother or a woman, but it makes an analogy. Again, this is not directly calling God a woman or God claiming that of themselves вЂ“ that is the analogy. God says that thatвЂ™s kind of like the cry, He is going to give out, this impassioned cry, like a woman and labor. This is in the bringing forth of GodвЂ™s justice and judgment upon the earth. Once again, without directly calling himself a woman, or a woman in labor, God makes an analogy saying that He will cry out like a woman in labor. While not directly calling God a woman or a mother, by analogy, Job 38:28-29 refer to God in His creator aspect along that way. A anything giving birth is not going to be a man or a father, itвЂ™s going to be a woman or a mother.

Of course, the idea here is poetic вЂ“ that God, the Creator, gives birth to the ice and the frost of heaven.

Job 38:28 says that the rain has a father, that the drops of dew have been begotten, and there is a вЂњwombвЂќ that gives вЂњbirthвЂќ to the ice and frost of heaven. For example, Job 38:28:ДЄnd the frost of heaven, who gives it birth? Is God male or female? And how should we think about what is called the femininity of God, or the feminine aspect of GodвЂ™s nature and character?ДЄ couple of the verses that you mentioned, kind of give us a good starting point. This is a great question and something that people ask about вЂ“ so IвЂ™m happy to address it. For example, Job 38 and Isaiah 42:14 вЂ“ some say these present the idea that God is also feminine. It is the idea that God is a female, and what Scripture says about the femininity of God.

IвЂ™m wondering if you can please answer this question or give us your thoughts. This question comes from Luz: Hello, Pastor.
