Gender differences the key to understanding God’s nature (Godly Sexuality)
Christian sexualityIf we suppress the feminine then we have a God who initiates but is far off, holy & judgemental
If we suppress the masculine then we have a God who is one with nature, relational & accepting of everyone without requiring any change. Clearly neither is better than the other as neither represents the full nature of God.
