Barb, the reason why God is known as a He has to do with Jesus. Many times in the New Testament, in the English translation, God is a HE. In other language translations God can be a HE or SHE or IT, but of course no one can call God an IT, and man is higher than a woman, this you know, so know way God can be a SHE, hence why we call God the Father. I hope that explains it a little more Barb.

and the Bible was written by Men! No wonder it is translated that God is a HE! I love yah, Lynn...but we truly do part company here. Oh well, we can agree to disagree because we are friends. :-)

that is what we are led to believe. I also wanted to explain why God is referred as a HE instead of a SHE or IT. A woman can do anything a man can do, but a man can't do everything a woman can do, and if they say they can, let's see them pop out a baby. :)
