Default Is a God a he?
I would think if you believe in the holy trinity then yes (god) would be.

But those of you that don't is God a he or she or it or that or what?

Well! Rex.
I don't believe in a trifecta/hattrick God!
But in every Bible it says Adam is made in his image!
"He created him; (Adam) male and female he created them." Then he took woman out of man. So my image of God is male and female. Just as he created Adam.

253 The Trinity is One.

Jesus was not JUST human or JUST God or JUST the Holy Spirit....... He was all three.......

I don't believe you can separate Jesus' humanity, assign a gender name to it, and say God is a man...... just don't work that way.

Can't have one part of the Trinity without the other two......

Peace,
Scott

I understand but let us assign all 3

Father (male) , son (male) , the holy ghost (?) - (those we can assign gender to)

so God is 2/3 male ?

I agree. God shouldn't be assigned a gender. "GOD" is to us what he/she/it/? is, so we shouldn't assume that "GOD" is anything, if an existential form at all. (In Earthseed "God" isn't existential)

If there is a god, then that god would be either both genders or neither gender. This seems only logical to me...

I think that traditionally a god was referred to in the masculine because the society was a patriarchal society and this influenced it's religion. They could not refer to their god in the feminine because that would mean women were greater or equal to men, and they couldn't have that.
