All of the above does not point to our triune God as either a male or female
gender or both(androgyny) rather it’s the use of analogy i.e. God is strong as our
heavenly Father and caring as our heavenly mother. But in truth our Triune God is
characterized as having the best of the virtues characterized in Fathering and
Mothering. The truth of the matter is that God created two genders with significant
biological and emotional differences for the purpose of marriage and creating a family
(Genesis 1:27-28; 20-24). But our triune God is prior to gender; in fact there is a
mysterious description in the Gospel of John 4:24, “God is a spirit, and those who
worship Him must worship Him in Spirit and Truth”: i.e beyond just flesh and bones and gender, like we are. And God cannot be reduced to “light” or an emotion like “love” but the being that creates and sustains all, with all the good virtues infinitely in His person. Yet the Son of God was incarnated as a man, what a mystery!
