Interesting thread, I think it's great we can express our thoughts on "The Almighty One"
In some parts of the world, they wouldn't dare conjure up thoughts like this in their own mind , let alone write it down for others to view. "GOD" bless America.
He OR She.
I also like the idea God is both.

God can be the formless spirit, the unmanifested infinity, but being an infinite almighty being, and his children unique, he can manifest himself in any possible form, both masculine and femenine, human or divine.

Some manifestations of God.

Avatars / Prophets (Divine incarnations / Messengers from God)




Jesus which doesn't need any introduction



Krishna
, the Christ of India revered as incarnation of the supreme personality of God, who inspired divine love with the beautiful melodies from his flute



Siddhārtha Gautama Spiritual teacher from ancient India who founded Buddhism.



Abu l-Qasim Muhammad The founder of Islam and regarded by Muslims as the last messenger and prophet of God.



Moses Hebrew religious leader, lawgiver, prophet, and military leader, to whom the authorship of the Torah is traditionally attributed.commanded by God to deliver the Hebrews from slavery.

Representations of the Divne or of aspects of Spirit.



The Christian Holy trinity
composed of The heavenly father, The son of God (Christ) and The holy spirit



Ishvara
(Sanskrit Īśvara ईश्वर "lord, master", from an adjective īśvara "capable") is a philosophical concept in Hinduism, meaning controller or the Supreme controller (i.e. 'God') in a monotheistic sense

Tat-Sat-Om
The hindu holy trinity Tat meaning Father, Sat Son and Om Cosmic vibration or Holy spirit

http://www.anjaliom.com/apprendre/images/trimurti.jpg (broken link)

The Trimurti (English: "Three forms) is a concept in Hinduism "in which the cosmic functions of creation, maintenance, and destruction are personified by the forms of Brahmā, Viṣṇu, and Śiva respectively.



Hindu Divine Mother, here manifested as Tridevi – the conjoined forms of Lakshmi, Parvati and Saraswati. Lakshmi being the representation of wealth, fortune love and beauty, Parvati being the representation of the supreme female energy of the universe which is creation and Saraswati as the representation of knowledge, music and the arts.



Shiva/Shakti, which in this view represent the union of both masculine and femenine expressions of Spirit.

Male as Wisdom and Strenght
Female as Emotion and Creation

Shiva and Shakti are one and the same.
There is no place that He is not.
There is no place that She is not.
They are one and the same.

She is in every thing.
She is in every word.
She is all there is.

See Her in all things.
Hear Her in all sounds.
Know Her in all thoughts.
Feel Her in all feelings.
She is all there is.

She is the one in the three worlds
Shiva and Shakti are one and the same.
That is the secret.



Tonacatecuhtli, Lord of Our Sustenance, is a primordial creator god, a god of fertility and beginnings. Tonacatecuhtli is the being at the "center" of existence, a place around which everything revolves but where everything is still and at rest.

Tonacacihuatl the feminine part of a dual creative myth, is the lady of flesh and sustenance. Tonantzin means our mother and huatl means blood.

Mexica/Aztec Divine Mother



In Mayan religion Nohochacyum was a creator god and his name means "Our True Lord". Mayas Heavenly father



Ixchel, "Lady Rainbow" and the wife of the supreme Mayan deity, was the Mother Goddess, the Goddess of the Moon, and the Goddess of Medicine.

God is not flesh and bones, He is Spirit. He is the Almighty, and yes...He is the Great I AM.
I am amazed that so many are bother by God being called "He". Although I was never really close to my physical father I am very happy to have a Heavenly Father.
If anyone "must" have a "Mother", (other than their physical one), let them call the earth their "Mother". Call the earth "She" ... :-)
