I might not accept the Oneness doctrine, but at least they (Oneness Pentecostals) haven't gone so far as to make their Godhead male AND female.
What do YOU think? Is God male? or is he female? Where is the scripture that talks about there being male nor female in heaven? Or about neither marrying nor giving in marriage in heaven? If this is true, then what does that say about God?

I'm not telling you what to believe. I'm not even sure what I think about it. And honestly, I don't think it's a heaven or hell issue.

Which is why I really didn't have a problem with the author portraying God as a woman in this book
