God was a Man, for 33 years

I need to be clear, YHWH was, is, and never will be a man. Except when he was Jesus. There I said it.


But it says in the Bible that God is him, father, King and son. Let me be blunt, what makes a man a man? A penis and balls. Jesus had a penis and balls, so he was a man (at least I assume he did, since he was a he). What are a penis and balls for? Reproduction. So logically if God is a man, there must be a female God too right? Because God needs to reproduce right? Yes I'm sarcastic.


Humans understand gender, because we have gender. If the Bible constantly referred to God as IT, instead of he, wouldn't that be a little impersonal for a personal God? Not to mention Man AND Woman were made in Gods image. WHAT!? Also I'm sure it was mostly men who wrote the books of the Bible, thus God is He...


So I guess the question that remains is, does God have a penis? Is there anywhere in the Bible that says YHWH has a penis, or a vagina for that matter? If God had a penis what would He use it for? Peeing?


So what is God? Love. Among a other things. Patience, kindness. YHWH does not envy, YHWH does not boast, YHWH is not proud YHWH does not dishonor others YHWH is not self-seeking YHWH is not easily angered, YHWH keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. YHWH always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. YHWH never fails. does not envy, YHWH does not boast, YHWH is not proud.


I hope you know were I'm going here... God is not a thing. God is not an animal with a gender. God has no need for a penis.
