Father God

When i think of referring to God in terms of "her", something does not compute. Jesus always referred to God as his Father, that is true.

When i look at the Trinity itself i see God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit. God has always appeared in the Bible as a Father figure, He does possess womanly traits but God is the Father much of humanity never had.

Isaiah 9:6 --> ... And he will be called Wonderful Counsellor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.

This passage, although it refers to the birth of Jesus, i feel also refers to the nature of God. God is three persons in one. he is the Wonderful Counsellor - Holy Spirit, Everlasting Father - God the Father, Prince of Peace - Christ Jesus.

Notice it says Prince of peace- not princess, Everlasting Father, not mother.

I am currently in the process of reading The Shack by William Golding, ( published by windblown media, 2007 ) Within it's pages, Golding talks about the nature of God and in one of the pages states:
"... I am neither male nor female, even though both genders are derived from my nature..."
Take from it what you will.
- Blessings
