At the same time, as before, God is beyond, or above, gender. The concept is only an anthropomorphization(?). God is represented as both a father and a mother in the Bible. It is the characteristics of fatherhood and motherhood that are more representative of God.
What of God isn't an anthropomorphization?
...and man created God in his image.
