Christ came to redeem this cursed world and to restore things back. Christ had to be born as a male. The world never would have listened to him if he were a woman. Thus came the Father, Son relationship and description. Christ gained entrance into this world by being conceived by the Spirit of God and a woman. This way the nature of sinful man would not be present in him. He was the only loving, caring, gentle, and perfect male that was ever born. Women were very much a part of his ministry. The religious structure didn't like it and they attacked him about it, but Jesus was a lover of women (non sexually) and women were drawn to him. He had both male and female traits. He described his desire to love Israel as the motherly desire of a hen who gathers her chicks.
He is alive today and he still has both female and male traits. As does God, the Father/Mother. The scriptures say that in Christ there is neither male nor female. I don't view God as a man and I don't view Jesus as a human male. Religion does and that is where it fails. I have pictured God as a female before when I pray and I feel God's presence just as much as when I picture God as a man. I usually picture Jesus as a man because he came to earth as one. However, I don't view him as a human male. I always remember that he is gentle, kind, soft, compassionate, and merciful. He is just as much female as male.
