Why God Is a He | 5 Minute Video 

And lack of a mother is lack of the child

The problem is that being rejected/not having a mother causes just the same thing when one is rejected/not have a father

You can thank the degenerates of the 1960s for the decline of traditional family and Judeo-Christian values in the western world.

@@thxhxndrick6364 A lack of a child is better than an unruly child who could harm themselves or others.

@@pukalo that's a little bit to easy don't u think The reality is that mother stayed home while the father worked b4 a child wents to school and worked when they come from school So the mother was more present in the life of children after the ww2 and we're viewed as more important then fathers

@Daniel Setiawan Good one. 😂👍

Well, this video is kind of a response to the gender-obsessed feminism that advocates for a female supreme deity and all that jazz.

@X OP implied that somehow this video shows how PragerU is obsessed with gender. I told him that this video is an obvious response to those who claim that Christianity is patriarchal because it depicts God as male and as a "father," instead of as a female and a mother.

this is for the people who are obsessed

Ninja Frost god isnt Male tho

Why are women so obsessed with gender?

Nah, it's because god knew the statistics that the media won't tell you.

Also as I’ve learned Spanish over the past 4yrs, I’ve learned that often the “masculine” term ex. niños can refer to both “boys” AND “kids”

@@JSTPPodcast yes. A lot of languages use male pronouns to be gender less at the same time.

נכון

dude, you had to make it political? well, if you had, so just for your knowledge, studies has shown that women get better grades at tests which their language prefers to both genders, so, maybe, all the language shenanigans aren't a bad idea

sarcasm?

Didn’t he call him Daddy...

So a man who maybe existed, written about in a book of fairy tales, called an invisible dude who lives on a cloud "father", proving that the thing nobody had ever seen was a man.... Hmmmm....sounds a bit weird...

@Lord Cobra I actually believe that (based on evidence) "Jesus the man" existed. The religious overtones are obviously added over time by hearsay, politics, exaggeration, and wish believe... To me, Jesus is simply one of the greatest historical philosophers...

To be on topic, Jesus called God Father because Jesus was good jew and all good jews call the Hebrew God Father. As for why, then watch the video again to find out

@@starbrander 😂😂😂

@ZapDash The traditional family structure is extremely important. A child fares best when they have a present mother and father. This is why the Left wants to ruin the traditional family structure.

ZapDash - Whatever the role of the mother when the male was a baby it will be unconscious later in life. But if it was a good and happy interaction, then those will be the all important core in the mans brain. However, other things can intrude in that all important first six to seven years of life. And then . . . .

John Niks that’s the thing, in the wild the males are forced from the herd when they sexually mature by the females.

We ourselves are animals, we just have a higher intelligence and different social structure etc, and our personality and enviroment shape us so I'd think we would just need that figure, rather than it having to be a father because it can't always be helped etc

This is why I don't believe women should be teaching young men. I would know what young men think about women, I was one.

some gamer Curious how we are so very special in our intellect from the animals...

@@shrivak : 1) I'm no expert but am aware that most animals have no sense of guilt (and thus attack and eat whatever human and other whenever hungry) and no sense of "ought" as do most humans. 2) We have an understanding of moral valuation not held by animals. So they have no regrets in the sense that humans do when they injure or kill something or someone. 3) The intellectual power of our brains far exceeds that of even the highest of animals approaching the limit of energy consumption - so much so that it contradicts basic theory of evolution which has animal capabilities developing only to the level required for "survival of the fittest". 4) There is a class of animals, "soulish" that seek a relationship with man, e.g. dogs. these animals do endeavor to avoid behavior that displeases their current human "friend" giving the appearance of moral awareness but is really just sensitivity to the human "friend's" commands and/or guidance.

@@btsnyder1s No shit

Nate Murdoch more like a new crusade, comrade.

And what if someone simply is curious and intellectual with their asking? I asked this question not too long ago. Not because I was agitated but rather very curious how/why this pronoun was used.

@@austinlokey Well this video seems To be the Answer we get and need

1. Jesus was sent to the world as a man 2. There were no neuter pronouns in Hebrew so He had to be referred to in the masculine form

Jacob Griffin I love the #2 statement and when I heard it in the video it really made a lot of sense. One could surely argue, ‘this is God we’re talking about. Why not create a pronoun specifically for God in order to avoid confusion?’ I can have sympathy for the already large hurdles language put on people of those much earlier times had. So I’ll give them the benefit of the doubt not to crate a new pronoun. How about today though? Is there a reason why we don’t create a new pronoun for God? Maybe it should be Ze? I’m not a huge fan of the radical left agenda getting wrapped up in pronouns but maybe this is a moment we can take and grow from their work? Unless it really is that imperative for psychological development that God be seen as a male so other males can associate with the characteristic traits of God? As a psychologist/neuroscientist, I’m not fully convinced that’s the best method for preventing violence. The emergence of Self through development of executive attention has greatly increased non-violent methods for conflict resolution when taught in children ages 4-6 for example (Rueda, Posner, & Rothbart, 2005). So maybe we can help to dismantle a little bit of the strife between sexes in religion now that we have access to a wide variety of additional means to develop anger/violence management?

But Jesus called God "father" . Don't say your language has no word "father"

Ice Bear In the Hawaiian Language (ʻŌlelo Hawaiʻi), ‘he’ and ‘she’ are also the same word: ‘ʻo ia’ and no distinction between ‘he’ and ‘she’ can be made. In the bible, ‘heavenly father’ is called ‘ka makua ma ka lani’, which translates to ‘the parent in the heavens’, because ‘makua’ means ‘parent’, ‘father’, or ‘mother’. ‘Makua kāne’ could be used to mean ‘father’ specifically, but it is not used in this context.

Because he is the literal father of our spirits. He raised is out of the deep and gave us spirit bodies in preparation to recieve these physical bodies.

interestingly, in Hebrew it flips when talking about numbers. But only then

Adam also means human beings

This was also typically understood depending on what one was reading in English, albeit hundreds of years ago, but true nonetheless whenever reading the word ‘men’ for instance when it was used to describe ‘humans’ or ‘the human race’. “All men are created equal..” for example.

Yeah and that's either because of translation errors, language evolution, or sexist language rules. What are you going on about?

depends what you consider love to be. I will make the distinction in the following: if someone is gambling money, you can either (love-1) them and let them gamble and face the horrific consequences of their bahavior if they keep it up and spent all their money. Or you can (love -2) them and tell them the truth, that they are acting towards bad consequences and no matter how much they tell you that they are right, for you to not back down on their self deception. In love-1 you are just mindlessly supporting them in whatever they choose to do without any critical thought, and I dare say it's not love, but something else. It's agreement. You just agree with their point of view. In love-2 you understand they are heading towards a wall and are actively attempting to stop them from heading into a wall. You do not just agree with them, you truely support them in being better human beings. Given the fact that there are only 2 sexes - male and female, and gender is a simple perception of self (one's feeling of own identity) which doesn't constitute a factual information, I would mention the fact that loving-1 them is doing them harm because they are denying reality, while loving-2 them would be the actual form of love. So the conclusion would be that simply affirming someone does not equate love, just approval. Loving someone is being honest with them and meaning them well, aka telling them that they are heading away from reality into illusion and that doing so will have catastrophic consequences. People that do not enforce someone's delusion truely loves them and means them well.

honestly dont see how his gender is up to debate. It's very clearly set in stone

SINCE THE TRIUNE GOD IS THREE PERSONS, ONE GOD ENTITY, it would have been confusing to have Jesus a female, or God the Father a female. Fathers and sons can be "beloved" to each other, and since they are of the same triune God, the same gender makes sense. The Holy Spirit is also a He, to avoid confusion, otherwise we have a weird sort of love triangle. We see in Matthew 23:37 "Jerusalem, Jerusalem, you who kill the prophets and stone those sent to you, how often I have longed to gather your children together, as a hen gathers her chicks under her wings, and you were not willing." that Jesus (God) shows some female traits like compassion, which are shown in other parts of Scripture, which helps illustrate God being not just exemplifying a solely male nature. For instance, even though it is clear in Scripture that God is the source of all wisdom, we can see like in Proverbs 8 wisdom being depicted as a female, to make an illustrative point.

@@wannabe2038 Yall are so dumb(sorry, had to get that out) he just said at the beginning of the video that GOD is actually generless(transcends gender) so to change GOD Into either gender is reduce GOD and do the people an injustice who really seek to know GOD.

@@terenyi-szabomarton5034 make your statement, whatever. But back it up. For someone claiming that some videos are misleading and propaganda it's ironic that you call this out without any evidence

I had a guy in the mall tell me that there is a female God. Or that God is a female. I told him it wasn't true but he had the right to believe that. I asked my dad and he explained to me exactly as Prager just did in this video. God is a spirit. Not a man or woman.

in the original hebrew; God has many names, each with a different specific characterization. For example God as Jehova vs God as Elohim vs God as Jehova-Elohim. These were further grouped into masculine on the 'pillar of justice', feminine traits on the 'pillar of mercy''; with the path of forgiveness between them. Ancient hebrew kabalah (not hollywood new age kabalah) can reveal more as can the Aggadah The Father is atop the resulting hierarchy as all life springs from his virility essentially. The interplay of masculine and feminine is deeply rooted in almost all spiritual and mystical traditions. I correct this video because it reduces the topic to talking points essentially meant for engaging feminists and thats neither alright nor accurate

I honestly do not think God is depicted as male because we earthly males need a Godly male figure. God is not described as male because of us. He is male because of himself, he is the beginning of everything also of this. Adam was the head of the wive, he rules over her. God rules over and created mankind, including the male. As the women was created out of the man, God created the human being from reasons out of himself. I understand that a womanly God would not be logical, but I think the direction of the theoratical explanation of God being a He is wrong in this video. It would be better to state: God created a man in a way that the man has a need for the figure of who God is, a fatherly figure, his Ruler and Caretaker amongst others. From our earthtly intersocial male-female intersocial relations we can better understand the position of God to humans. God created the women in a way that she has a need for the figure who God is to women, The women and male, moreover have in between them needs for a certain relation, which is described above. You guys should seek advise from a theologian for this.

What is that profile picture?

it is only possible to know the information about God that He reveals to us Himself through scripture. Of course, God is Spirit (John 4:24), so is biologically neither male nor female, and He does not have a sexual nature. The simple answer is that God is described in male terms because that best describes how God relates to His creation; God has revealed Himself to humanity in male terms; and God became incarnate as a man, not a woman. Jesus prayed to Him as Father and taught His disciples to do the same (Matt 6:9). The Second Person of the Trinity, Jesus Christ, became incarnate as a man, not a woman, and Jesus referred to the Holy Spirit with the pronoun ‘He’ (John 14:16-17). These are not similes or metaphors, but teaching regarding the very nature of God and how He relates to His creation, and how the members of the Godhead relate to each other. God is male in every sense except for the biological. However, ever since the conception of Christ, God is also biologically male. This video isn't a good explanation.

He's talking about Hebrew, not English. Because Hebrew is the original language of the Bible, not English. In Hebrew there are no gender neutral pronouns, there are even different masculine and feminine "theys".

@domhnall777 right........ classic conservatism....... serval thousand years...... before conservatism was even a barebones consept... Huh and giving God a male pronoun is a means of instlling familiarity and comfort, who would you rather pray to?, our Father who art In heaven or it who art heaven? Sounds extremely off putting to me..... IT....

Why is that a problem we call ships she for chrissake

Being seen as manly is not immature childish or fragile it is necessary for society and highly rewarding. Don’t buy feminist propaganda

what you described is the "shadow" of the masculine. you described the tyrannical potential. masculinity in it's mature form is very loving and compassionate (so is female in it's maturated form), but what it has as different to the female aspect is the ability to preserve justice through action (to protect others). a male has higher chances to protect the weak from someone who is physically poweful as well, compared to a female - due to body strength, size, etc. hence the mature male aspect. that's why God has a component of a Father and is not a brother, let's say. a father is mature in his ideal form. you will ask maybe why the father is mature in his ideal form, and I will answer "because if he stuck around he took responsability - hence he is mature". because he didn't leave, he lived up to the good behavior of being a father once he contributed to the creation of a baby.

No but it is always a very sad and worrisome joke.

"Deadass," you may not have the intellect or erudition to understand this (rather basic) explanation. I would read a book or two, lest you remain a joke.

Females are made by a male and mother is depended on Father without Father Females and mother never go existed

God isn't a genderless If he stills in his spirit form he is still considering as a Father Male

No. Father's are more important in shaping women. Femininity is one thing, but our heavenly Father teaches us values and morals and thus, that's where a woman's morals and values come from overall and what she will seek when she grows up.

@@Dasani_water_drinker Big no. A father figure and a mother figure are equally important in shaping a child’s life. Also, it doesn’t have to come from a parent. For someone to say that mothers or fathers are more important is being disingenuous to the other guardian raising the kid.

@@yasminthespiritsinger7704 you're welcome to your opinion. How many women with just mothers turn out to be successful in relationships? Women don't go out seeking a man just like their mother, they seek men like their father or the age in a man similar when he is absent. I never said a mother wasn't important just that a father carries more weight in shaping values and morals of a woman in a sexist world.

Same

You never thought of it this way because the analogy makes no sense. No where in this video does Prager defend how the case of biological parental figures applies to a supposed omnipotent being so far out of our comprehension that giving a human identifier makes no sense to begin with...

@@Sylvertaco Yes it does. They state that god can help fill in for boys without a father so they still have a male role model that they will listen to. Did you even watch the video?

@@zynix3698 - The video does state this, but doesn't say how or defend the claim. First off, having God play a distinct role for half the population doesn't make sense if both sexes are judged on the same standards. Unless you are implying that God acts as a maternal figure for girls who don't grow up without mother's... And if God does, that tosses out the entire premise for using a gender based identifier for God.

@@Sylvertaco He acts as a male role model for both men and women and the point was society is more harmed by a lack of male role models for men.

That is a reference the Trinity. The Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit. He is a male. That's why Adam was a man. Made in Gods image. Just as Jesus told us to pray in Their name. This video was made by someone who doesn't understand the Bible.

The US includes the angels. Another explanation is that G-d enlists man to make himself into a man. After all man is the only creation that has freewill and can improve himself. He can choose to go after his impulses and be no better then an animal or he can choose to be a man

God is a he *thousands upon thousands* of times, and never a they. God says the word “us” only around *four* times, and every single time, us doesn’t change its meaning to a multipersonal God. It just means God and others. If I say let us bake a cake you will obviously assume there are others present with me, not that I am multiple persons all at once. God is announcing what he himself is doing to the angels, the hosts of heaven. The very next verse after Genesis 1:26 says we are created in the image of only one person, a he, not a they. Deuteronomy 6:4 Hear O Israel, the LORD is our God! The LORD is one!

God transcends the genders, I.e he's transgenders, thats why the pronoun 'they'.

@@jamesfuqua2 wait so God is a physical male? what?

Well, God is immaterial, and as the video plainly states, transcends sex/gender. Maybe drop your expectations and just watch their videos.

@@ApartmentKing66 This channel posted a pro-slavery video once and describes loose immigration laws as cultural suicide. Prager has himself written multiple articles about why your wife should let herself be raped by you. So no, I won't watch their videos, I have seen plenty. I don't think you are quite aware what kind of kooks are running this channel.

Even if it was most fantasy book (which is not) how would that make it sexist? Refered to as He, so what? One day, when some man says to a woman that she is beautiful, you secularists will say ,,You misogynist!" What is interesting, that woman will not say that he is misogynist ('cause she is normal) but only you secularists.

X и Т 22 ... have you READ the Bible? Taking virgin women (only women) as slaves was completely ok...

@@imayeti.4674 Oh, please Numbers 31:18 is pretty vague, ,,keep them alive for yourselves" doesn't have to mean ,,rape them". Also, it doesn't say virgins, altough many English translation claim that, it says female children. They were 3-8 years old, They could have been taken as servants and maids to work in houses. The phrase ,,for yourselves" is the only real problem. But it can be based on a wrong memory. Man who wrote Book of Numbers (and he wasn't Moses, Fundamentalists are not right) wrote it roughly five centuries after that event. The memory was probably that Israelite soldiers came to the camp with young girls. Then, centuries after, a man who wrote Numbers had relied on tradition in which Moses said ,,Keep them for yourselves." But based on God's obvious hatred of sexual immorality, I am sure those girls were not allowed to be raped. If some wicked soldiers raped them, they were probably stoned after crime was exposed. Philo of Alexandria, a Jewish philosopher from I century BC, wrote a work called ,,On the life of Moses" and he claimed that BOTH young boys and girls were spared among the Midianites. ,,Therefore they destroyed all their cities, razing them to the ground or else burning them, so that no one could tell that any cities had ever been inhabited in that land. And they led away a perfectly incalculable number of prisoners, of whom they chose to slay all the full-grown men and women, the men because they had set the example of wicked counsels and actions, and the women because they had beguiled the youth of the Hebrews, becoming the causes to them of incontinence and impiety, and at the last of death; but they pardoned all the young MALE children and all the VIRGINS, their tender age procuring them forgiveness." A Treatise On the Life of Moses, Book I, 311 Josephus, Jewish historian from I century AD wrote about the same event. ,,Now Moses sent an army against the land of Midian, for the causes fore­mentioned; in all twelve thousand: taking an equal number out of every tribe: and appointed Phineas for their commander. Of which Phineas we made mention a little before, as he that had guarded the laws of the Hebrews, and had inflicted punishment upon Zimri, when he had transgressed them. Now the Midianites perceived before­hand how the Hebrews were coming, and would suddenly be upon them. So they assembled their army together, and fortified the entrances into their countrey; and there awaited the enemy’s coming. When they were come, and they had joined battel with them, an immense multitude of the Midianites fell: nor could they be numbred, they were so very many. And among them fell all their Kings, five in number: Evi, and Zur, and Reba, and Hur, and Rekem, the fifth; who was of the same name with a city, the chief and capital of all Arabia, which is till now so called, by the whole Arabian nation, Arecem, from the name of the King that built it: but is by the Greeks called Petra. Now when the enemies were discomfited, the Hebrews spoiled their countrey, and took a great prey, and destroyed the men that were its inhabitants, together with the women: only they let the VIRGINS alone, as Moses had commanded Phineas to do: who indeed came back, bringing with him an army that had received no harm; and a great deal of prey. Fifty two thousand beeves: seventy five thousand six hundred sheep: sixty thousand asses: with an immense quantity of gold and silver furniture, which the Midianites made use of in their houses. For they were so wealthy, that they were very luxurious. There were also led captive about THIRTY TWO THOUSAND virgins. So Moses parted the prey into parts, and gave one fiftieth part to Eleazar and to the Priests; and another fiftieth part to the Levites: and distributed the rest of the prey among the people. After which they lived happily, as having obtained an abundance of good things by their valour: and there being no misfortune that attended them, or hindred their enjoyment of that happiness." Jewish Antiquities, Book IV, chapter 7, first section. Josephus here separates virgins from the category ,,prey". Notice how he numbers donkeys, beeves, sheep and gold and silver as ,,prey". He then says they were so wealthy and luxurous. It is only then that he adds that there was some number of women as captives. He says nothing else about them. Even IF we suppose they were part of the ,,prey", he says 30% were given to Levites and Priests. Priests had a very strict law of sexual purity. ,,They shall be holy to their God and not profane the name of their God. For they offer the LORD’s food offerings, the bread of their God; therefore they shall be holy. They shall not marry a prostitute or a woman who has been defiled, neither shall they marry a woman divorced from her husband, for the priest is holy to his God." Leviticus 21:7 They cannot marry a woman who is not a virgin. Now, if these women were raped and Moses gave them to priests for sexual slavery, didn't he broke the Law of God? If these virgins were raped and abused, didn't priests broke the Law? Whatever happened here, whether only virgins were spared or female children or young boys with them, we have a clear answer- God didn't condoned any evil to happen to them. Is it possible that some soldier commited a crime of rape? Obviously, it did. Was he permitted to do that? No. He was most likely punished, just like American soldiers who raped German women in World War II during Invasion of Germany were punished. So my friend, there was no harm permitted to happen to these women. There is no sexism in this.

I honestly do not think God is depicted as male because we earthly males need a Godly male figure. God is not described as male because of us. He is male because of himself, he is the beginning of everything also of this. Adam was the head of the wive, he rules over her. God rules over and created mankind, including the male. As the women was created out of the man, God created the human being from reasons out of himself. I understand that a womanly God would not be logical, but I think the direction of the theoratical explanation of God being a He is wrong in this video. It would be better to state: God created a man in a way that the man has a need for the figure of who God is, a fatherly figure, his Ruler and Caretaker amongst others. From our earthtly intersocial male-female intersocial relations we can better understand the position of God to humans. God created the women in a way that she has a need for the figure who God is to women, The women and male, moreover have in between them needs for a certain relation, which is described above. You guys should seek advise from a theologian for this.

If you ignore all the petty, idiotic, cruel, and outright evil things said to have been done, then yeah.

@@zedekiah3563 I read once that the seemingly cruel and wrathful God of the Old Testament can be understood better by knowing how the theology of the ancient Hebrews writing the Old Testament was different from the followers of Jesus’ legacy writing the New Testament. What I remember reading is that essentially, Jewish people saw God as Reality. Reality can seem beautiful, peaceful, and perfectly suited to an individual’s satisfaction one day, and be hell on Earth the next. For them, God decided these things, and frankly it just wasn’t productive or helpful to curse God for His actions, because it’s the same as cursing reality. If you stub your toe on a rock, it’s futile and kind of pathetic to get angry at the rock. What are you going to do, smash every rock you find? You’ll never get them all. You’ll die of thirst in the desert hunting down every last rock. You’ll die of exhaustion digging them up and breaking them. Instead of trying to impose your will on God, on Reality, impose your will on your own mind and embrace God, embrace Reality. Learn to love God and learn to love Reality. And that’s the attitude that informs my attempts to be a good Christian too, it’s just that I see Jesus as the ultimate and eternally applicable role model for how to live that kind of life.

True - whereas God the Father's 'maleness' is more of an analogy to human nature, Jesus (considered the second person of the trinity) is explicitly male in a much more concrete sense. If balance is desired, however, then it may be worth noting that the Holy Spirit (the third person of the trinity) is occasionally referred to in feminine terms.
