By Dennis Prager, Prager University - The most obvious example is God is referred to as "He." Why did the Bible do this?... Well, here's the answer: Because the Bible is preoccupied with making a kinder, less violent, more just world. If you share these goals—and I suspect you do—then you'll have to agree the Bible made the right decision… Before I explain, I need to add an obvious caveat: The God of the Bible is neither male nor female. God transcends gender. What I'm talking about here is why God is depicted in male terms in the Bible… Gender-wise, the Bible had three choices: masculine—"he"; feminine—"she"; or neuter—"it."
