Why would a female have no God qualities? For me, that's too big a leap

In fact, females were made from males... so to speak, yes? And we carry male hormones (hear them roar when out of balance?!) Plus, as I mentioned, when one looks at being in the image of God that doesn't necessarily mean male. In psychology we say that each person is a spirit, soul, and body. The soul, contrary to what some have taught, is the mind, will and emotions. (It is the spirit that is the energy that is eternal.)

So in that one case alone, we are like God, being pluralistic (a trinity of spirit soul and body).

For me, God is the perfect father. Unlike my earthly father who was not perfect---just as none of us are perfect. It IS comforting for me.

I suppose, that if God were portrayed in the female voice there would be those with maternal issues if the abuser in the family was female?
