Is God a male?

But God and the angels are referred to as a male gender in terms of strength and power and probably for that reason only.

Female energies, even when viewed in the context as defined above as sexual or reproductive organs, are very potent as well.
No shortage of strength in female energies.

'God & the angels are referred to as a male gender' in Christianity because this religion’s founders actively excluded females from the inception of the religion. The multiple ways women were excluded is well documented. Other religions also tend to be rather male oriented.

Christ (is) what God has to say, thinks, wants, feels, etc.
He called him Father and refered to God as our heavenly Father,, it's really not that complicated.
I find absolutely no reason to convolute the story to my own preference.

Full marks i agree

Who knows the mind of God?

And I'm not convinced that Jesus was anymore the son of God as I am. Why didn't I get to be born Jesus? If we are all equal then Jesus is no better than me.

In Christian thought, Jesus is not your equal; every knee will bow before Jesus and confess that he is Lord (Philippians 2, Isaiah 45).

Sure, he was enlightened...but he was still a human like me. I have met living Jesus' on a trip to India.

Christians understood Jesus not only to be human, but also divine. He is the incarnate God.

This is the Christianity section.

You are asking if God is male.

Based on Christianity and the Bible, then yes God is male.

Is it that hard to work out?

I believe God has no specific form of male and Female. I think God is the universe. That we were created by the universe. So the universe is part of me or 'I'. So I think the Universe is Everything. No specific traits. Nor "just" masculine or "just" female. It just Is.

God did not have a daughter per-se, but a female, the Queen/Mother of Creation, who issued from His Core and of whom forms the bridge from the Divine Realm where God resides to the rest of Creation where we exist.

And from where do you get all this info? Sounds like an amalgam of various notions.
