So God created man in His own image;
in the image of God He created him;
male and female He created them. Genesis 1:27
For God so loved the world
that He gave His only begotten Son,
that whoever believes in Him
should not perish but have everlasting life. John 3:16
And I will pray the Father,
and He will give you another Helper,
that He may abide with you forever -
the Spirit of truth,
whom the world cannot receive,
because it neither sees Him
nor knows Him;
but you know Him,
for He dwells with you
and will be in you. John 14: 16-17
If God is the Father, and we know that He Is.
And if Jesus is the Son Of God, which we hold to be true.
And if the Holy Spirit is also called He, it's in the Scriptures.
And if mankind was created in the image of God,
both male and female.
Then where can the feminine attributes of God be found?
TAKE A LOOK AND SEE !
Does not wisdom cry out,
And understanding lift up her voice?
She takes her stand
on the top of the high hill,
Beside the way,
where the paths meet.
She cries out by the gates,
at the entry of the city,
At the entrance of the doors:
"To you, O men, I call,
And my voice is to the sons of men.
O you simple ones,
understand prudence,
And you fools,
be of an understanding heart.
Listen, for I will speak
of excellent things,
And from the opening of my lips
will come right things;
For my mouth will speak truth,
Wickedness is an abomination to my lips.
All the words of my mouth are with righteousness;
Nothing crooked or perverse is in them.
They are all plain to him who understands,
And right to those who finds knowledge.
Receive my instruction, and not silver,
And knowledge rather than choice gold;
For wisdom is better than rubies,
And all the things one may desire
cannot be compared with her.
I wisdom, dwell with prudence,
And find out knowledge and discretion.
The fear of the Lord is to hate evil;
Pride and arrogance and the evil way,
And the perverse mouth I hate.
Counsel is mine, and sound wisdom;
I am understanding, I have strength.
By me kings reign.
And rulers decree justice.
By me princes rule, and nobles,
All the judges of the earth.
I love those who love me,
And those who seek me dilligently will find me.
Riches and honor are with me,
Enduring riches and righteousness.
My fruit is better than gold,
yes, than fine gold,
And my revenue than choice silver.
I traverse the way of righteousness,
In the midst of the paths of justice,
That I may cause those who love me to inherit wealth,
That I may fill their treasuries.
The Lord possessed me at the beginning of His way.
Before His works of old.
I have been established from everlasting,
From the beginning, before there was ever an earth.
When there were no depths I was brought forth,
When there were no fountains abounding with water.
Before the moutains were settled,
Before the hills, I was brought forth;
While as yet He had not made the earth or the fields,
Or the primal dust of the world.
When He prepared the heavens, I was there,
When He drew a circle on the face of the deep,
When He established the clouds above,
When He strenghtened the fountains of the deep,
When Hs assigned to the sea its limit,
So that the waters would not transgress His command,
When He marked out the foundations of the earth,
Then I was beside Him as a master craftsman;
And I was daily His delight,
Rejoicing always before Him
Rejoicing in His inhabited world,
And my delight was with the sons of men.
Now therefore, listen to me, my children,
For blessed are those who keep my ways.
Here instruction and be wise,
And do not distain it.
Blessed is the man who listens to me,
Watching daily at my gates,
Waiting at the posts of my doors.
For whoever finds me finds life,
And obtains favor from the Lord;
But he who sins against me wrongs his own soul,
All those who hate me loves death".
Proverbs Chapter 8 - NKJ
Wisdom has built her house;
She has hewn out its seven pillers.
She has prepared her meat and mixed her wine;
She has also set her table.
She has sent out her maids, and she calls
from the highest point of the city.
"Let all who are simple come in here!
She says to those who lack judgement,
Come, eat my food and drink the wine I have mixed.
Leave your simple ways and you will live;
walk in the way of understanding". Proverbs 9: 1 - 6 - NIV
Some of the feminine attributes of God are brought to light within the verses of the Holy Scriptures shown above. Those femine attributes of God that are brought to light in the 8th and 9th chapters of the book of Proverbs are each called by their names.
These feminine attributes of God are known as "Wisdom", "Understanding", "Prudence" and "Knowledge". But there are more of them to be found in the "Word Of God". Look within the "Wisdom Books", and see what you can find. You will find this an interesting" bible study".
Peace, Joy, and many Blessings to you and yours,
