God is portrayed only as male? Really?
Genesis 1:27
So God created man in his own image,
in the image of God he created him;
male and female he created them.
Isaiah 66:11 - 13
For you will nurse and be satisfied
at her comforting breasts;
you will drink deeply
and delight in her overflowing abundance."
For this is what the LORD says:
"I will extend peace to her like a river,
and the wealth of nations like a flooding stream;
you will nurse and be carried on her arm
and dandled on her knees.
As a mother comforts her child,
so will I comfort you;
and you will be comforted over Jerusalem."
Galatians 4:26
But the Jerusalem that is above is free, and she is our mother.
Revelation 22:17
The Spirit and the bride say, "Come!" And let him who hears say, "Come!" Whoever is thirsty, let him come; and whoever wishes, let him take the free gift of the water of life.
It seems to me like God has both male and female natures, according to the Bible
