Name of God

RE: Name of God
Quote:What I want to know is what is Gods gender? Does God even have one? If not then why do we call God a 'he'?

You would be suprised to know God is not a single individual the bible reveals him as seven individuals. This might come as a bit of a shock. But that is why there are seven days of creation, and why seven is used where ever God is going to perform a miracle. Among seven members there is the distinct posibility for one to be female like. But God is not like us physically, that is why he made Jesus to be the human face of God.

So Justin Martyr said that the prophets believed that God was a seven fold Spirit. So this should be able to be found in scripture. Zechariah 4 and onwards shows us a physical representation of God. He is represented as 7 golden lamps stands, the lamp is called the the LORD of the whole earth. On either side of the lamp are the two anointed ones, or Cheriabim, which mirror those found on the ark of the presence (on either side of the mercy seat) in the temple which was built by Israel according to the pattern God delivered to Mosus on the mount. The lamps are said to be the seven spirits of God which are also called the eyes of the LORD. This same lamp was found also in the temple of the Lord built by Mosus in the desert.
