> Soo funny!!! Don’t forget the hebrew name of God in the 1st verse of the Bible; Gen 1:1..... “elohim”

There are actually a couple of times in the Bible where God is described in feminine terms... the only one that I remember off the top of my head is when Jesus weeps over Jerusalem and talks about a hen gathering her chicks.

I call nonsense. The action described is referred to as "Tabernacalling" (spelling), and it's a description of the action not the person. This simply implies one hugging those they love, and protecting them from the environment. Can only a female do that?
