Thanks for everyones input. Let's be careful not to get into a religious debate here, we all know what happens if we do.

My question is about the use of the term 'He' when describing who God is and what sort of psychological impact that may have upon various persons.

My point is, if you can think of it this way, a situation where you have two people in a room. In the room is a third person who is going to give one of them a special treat, let's make it a brand new luxury Rolls Royce. The other person is going to receive, well, nothing. They've both been told they were coming here to this room today to be loved and valued and honored, but, only one of them will receive the gift. No explanation will be offered and if one is, it bears no resemblance to logic, just that, well, it was scripted this way.

My question is about how the person who has received no gift feels? Do they feel they must have done something wrong to not receive the gift? Do they feel cheated? Do they feel left out or devalued?

When it is consistently repeated that God is a "He" and the implied inference is that females have no God qualities themselves, how does it make them feel about being a female? How is labeling God a male and only a male, just and fair? Since this is a website for psychological healing, and since God is frequently referred to as a male in this forum, I am asking for a psychologically sound explanation for why it is that God is male.
