Why do Christians refer to God as a male?

Answer 1

OpinionIt is a long standing tradition to refer to God as a male. The origin of this tradition could go all the way back to pre-Exilic Judaism and even earlier. Two large, splintered, pithoi or storage jars have been discovered at Kuntillet Ajrud, containing drawings in red and black ink accompanied by religious inscriptions written in Hebrew, which scholars have translated with reasonable consistency as describing the goddess Asherah as the consort of Yahweh (God).
