The fact that God is not sexual becomes evident when we recognize that God is never said to have a consort, nor is any sexual activity ever ascribed to him. For those of us raised on the Bible, the very thought is completely foreign. But when we read the Bible against the backdrop of the Ancient Near East, it is astonishing that of all the gods, this One alone should never be described in sexual terms. This interpretation, which was suggested in the last century on the basis of a possible Arabic etymology, had been almost completely rejected by the middle of this century. Nor is the biblical account of creation, either in Genesis 1 or 2, sexualized in any way.
Sexuality has nothing to do with the origin of life.
It is plain that God visualized the world and spoke it into existence. One of the Egyptian accounts is often said to be similar in thought to this, but the similarities are very superficial. The fact is that of all the world's creation accounts, the biblical one is the only one in which the sexuality of the deity is totally absent. This complete absence of sexual reference to God and to any sexual activity in the process of creation means that, biblically speaking, sex is a part of the created world but it is not a part of ultimate reality. This view is unique to biblical faith, and is of the utmost importance.
