God of male image and God of female image

In the process of knowing God, let us find out that God has both genders.

Ge 1:26-27 『Then God said, "Let us make man in our image, in our likeness, and let them rule over the fish of the sea and the birds of the air, over the livestock, over all the earth, and over all the creatures that move along the ground." So God created man in his own image, in the image of God he created him; male and female he created them.』

We call our Creator "God Most High," and we think He is one. However, in Genesis we can see that the plural Gods made all creatures, including man, saying, "Let us make man …." If an artist draws a male model, a portrait of a man will be painted; and if he draws a female model, a portrait of a woman will be painted. God our Creator made man in His own image, and male and female were created. This indicates that there are both male and female images in God.Until now most Bible scholars have characterized God only as male, calling Him ‘Father.' They've not spoken of God as female. The Bible characterized God as both male and female, but it was contrary to their custom and doctrine. So they have regarded it as a heresy to believe that there is Mother God as well as Father God and intentionally ignored it.However, surely there is a time for the truth to be revealed. Remem-ber that God mentioned it as a condition for receiving the Holy Spirit to press on to know Him. Everyone in the world does know the God who divided the Red Sea. Even non-Christians know the God who created Adam and Eve, the God who made all things in six days. What should we press on to know about God then? It is that there exists a female God as the Mother as well as a male God as the Father. When we understand this correctly, we can have full understanding of all the principles of life and wisdom described in the 66 books of the Bible.Adam and Even were created in God's image. At first God made Adam and then He decided to create a helper for him. He caused Adam to fall into a deep sleep and made Eve from one of his ribs (Genesis 2). Why did Adam need his helper, Eve? Man cannot give birth to children and breastfeed them. God entrusted such things to woman when He created human beings.When God created Adam and Eve, each of them had a duty. Adam was a pattern of the one to come (Ro 5:14). Thus his wife, Eve, represents the wife of the Lamb, the Christ to come a second time. Such a great truth is hidden in Genesis.We need to understand what the ministry of the male God is and what the ministry of the female God is. This is the start point for our knowledge of God.
