Throughout the Bible, however, God uses masculine pronouns and imagery when revealing Himself to mankind. Because God has referred to Himself using specifically masculine terms, we do the same thing when referring to Him. The Old Testament was written in Ancient Hebrew, which had no gender-neutral pronouns, so God deliberately chose to use masculine pronouns for Himself. In the New Testament, which was written in Koine Greek, God is also consistently referred to using grammatically masculine pronouns, even though the Greek had gender-neutral pronoun options.

So a guy made up that story and wrote the Bible. Makes sense given the time period.

Got it, so once again, you speak up about things you really have no knowledge of: Not "A" guy - their are 66 total books in the bible that were written over a span of 1,500 years or so. So no, the same guy did not write all 66 books. To offer a brief overview, the current English Bible consists of 66 books with two distinct sections: The Old Testament (39 books) and the New Testament (27 books). The two sections are arranged this way to highlight the birth of Jesus, with the Old Testament sharing the emerging prophecies of the Messiah and Jesus’ actual birth, death, and resurrection taking place at the start of the New Testament with the Four Gospels (Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John). The books of the Bible were written at different times by different authors over a period of approximately 1,500 years. But that is not to say that it took 1,500 years to write the Bible, only that it took that long for the complete canon of Scripture to be penned as God progressively revealed His Word. The oldest book of the Bible, according to most scholars, is either Genesis or Job, both thought to have been written by Moses and completed around 1400 BC, about 3,400 years ago. The newest book, Revelation, was written around AD 90

I admit I have not read a lot of fiction lately.
