Genesis 1:27 states, “So God created man in his own image, in the image of God he created him; male and female he created them”
I am not going to use this scripture to go down the rabbit hole of discussing how many genders there are, that is a conversation for another day.
However I call into question that consensus that God is solely, He.
If right after stating that God created man in his own image, explicitly states; male and female he created them.

It doesn’t take deep theological thought to conclude that God, is feminine just as much as it is masculine.
In Genesis 1:26, God says;
“Let us make man in our image, after our likeness.”
The key words there, are us and our.
Understanding the historical division between men and women as well as the suppression of the feminine in religious institutions, it seems as though we have created God in our image instead of the other way around.
I don’t know about you, but when I have experienced the Holy Spirit in my life, it has always felt like a feminine force.
A nurturing, loving, compassionate, warm, gentle spirit that embraces me with tender, unconditional love.
Scripture refers to the Holy Spirit as the Helper, and the only other person in scripture that is referred to as the Helper, is a Wife.

So I am going to make a leap here…
We have God the Father (Masculine), God the Holy Spirit (Feminine), giving birth to the Son (Mankind).
I might be called out for heresy here, but I can’t help but be led to the conclusion that we are all children of God.
With Christ being the Son of Man, the King of Mankind, who revealed to us our divine nature and challenged the belief that God was out there, with a radical notion that the Kingdom of Heaven is within.
How can the Holy Trinity exclude the very humans that God created in the beginning of time?

How can we experience the salvation that Christ spoke about, if we sit over here praising the messenger rather than following the message.
Jesus never said “Worship Me”, but very frequently said “Follow Me.”
If we follow Jesus to the Cross, we have to love like he loved, forgive like he forgave, and see God in all things and all people.
Jesus said in John 8:12; “I am the light of the world.”
I believe we have misinterpreted this message where we are looking the the light itself rather than what the light is illuminating.
Christ gave us the opportunity to see the world through his eyes, to see ourselves through his eyes.
And when we can see with the eyes of Christ, we see all things through the eyes of the divine.

We look at sinners with merciful compassion.
We look at people of other traditions, ethnicities and beliefs with unconditional love.
We look at our enemies and bless them and pray for them.
The once very Masculine God of the old testament that resulted in rigid structures of dogma and control, was shaken up by the incarnation of man named Yeshua from Nazareth who revealed in the flesh the true nature of God.
He also said in Matthew 5:14, “You are the light of the world.”
I can’t help but feel that Christians have been robbed out of truly experiencing oneness with God because they have been excluded from the body of God, and are trapped in the body of religion.
Through the light of Christ, we can see clearly how to live and love like him, thus illuminating our lights into our dark and fallen world.
When Jesus said “ I and the father are one, and no one get’s to the father except through me.”

When someone who does not have a connection to the divine hears these words, it is very easy to take it literally, as if he is saying, believe what I am saying and you will get to the father.
But I think he was saying something much more mystical and profound here.
The realization of ones divine nature, a purification of sin and dark energy, allows one to exist in the divine body of God.
John 14:12; Very truly I tell you, whoever believes in me will do the works I have been doing, and they will do even greater things than these, because I am going to the Father.
