1. Yes, I believe that Jesus Christ is God and that He is male. I see nowhere in Scripture to suggest otherwise.
2. Both of the words "Creator" and "Father" are equally apt to describing God. They are both roles that He plays in our lives. To minimize "Father" is to allow bias (I'm assuming political) to influence how you want to present God to the world.
3. Christ WAS and IS male. We don't have to assume or speculate as to why.
4. Women need God to save them, and He happened to take upon Himself the form of a servant, come in the likeness of man, and die on a cross for the sins of all men and women. There is salvation in no other name than Jesus, so yes, they need a male savior as Jesus is the only one.
5. Why not try to present as much of Jesus as you can instead of trying to be politically correct?
