2. I don't know why you would think Christ was not always a man.

Or rather 'male'...what do you believe He was before He was made flesh? What scriptures refer to Him as female?

gallenwalsh:
I do not think I am alone in thinking that Christ was "something else" before he became flesh. When I think of Christ as a "MAN" I think of him as "HUMAN", FLESH and blood.To me flesh and blood is "MAN". Christ always refers to us as "HUMAN" or MAN in a condescending way as to remind us of our inferiority before him.I think I am totally confused regarding Christ and who and what he is then.Although that concept is a real mind opener! Can anyone expound on this a little more, please? Any insights on the Female image of GOD ? I'd love to hear about it.

And as Spirit, does He not refer to Himself as male? Has the Lord ever referred to Himself as a 'she' or any other female attribute?

How many times has the Lord referred to Himself as a husband?


This is the line of thinking when I stated male. I believe He possessed femininity, as all is of Him. But He is always referred to as a male (He, His, Him, etc.). Even when Adam still possessed the 'rib' which was used to make Eve, Adam was still referred to as 'he, his, him'.

But this is really not an issue that I believe is worth debate so hopefully this thread doesn't go in that direction.
