You’re not going back far enough. We’re looking at the ORIGINS of the Christian God (before the Bible was written, way before the NT, and before the Israelites put their writings on papyrus), from polytheism or henotheism roots. God is only labeled as male in some parts of the books of the bible after Genesis. But look at Genesis, it says “Let Us make man in our image”
Who’s Us? the other gods and goddesses of the Canaanite pantheon? Thats what im trying to get at.
