Is God Plural In Number?
It is very astonishing that we never know whether God ever married. But first of all we have to know the exact sex of God. And there is one more problem. Whether there is or was more than one Gods in the whole universe. And some more pertinent questions and doubts can be raised for getting more enlightenment. But who will answer to these questions. The preachers are busy and their doors are always kept bolted and shut so that nobody can disturb their hibernations and their profound mission of attaining salvation. So, let the sleeping lions lie in their dens.
First thing first. In English God is masculine in gender (that is, sex. But can it be common or neuter gender?) And singular number. Okay, that is fine, so far so good. We have seen that God is morphed into plural by Gods and that is very common usage in religious and other books. That is to say that there was more than one God. In Hindu religion (if Hindu is accepted as a religion as such), there are many Gods and they are not at all shy of accepting many Gods at a time. They at least saved our faces as in any other established religions the existence of many Gods are not accepted and believed although we have seen in many ancient literatures a plethora of Gods ruling the universe.
But barring Hindu religion all later religions discarded the idea of many Gods and all opted for one Super Power, one Supreme Being. So we can safely say that there are not many Gods to reckon with. Or, for argument’s sake we can say that there is only one God. Now we can part with the first part of the problem. Now on to the next part of the problem which is what is/are or are/were the sex of the God/s?
We have seen that on the issue of God being single or multiple, the believers are divided in two camps. According to the belief of single God, God is male in sex and there being single God we can safely say that God never had been married. Then the question arises that the how come he did create man in his own image. There is no answer forthcoming from any quarters. In Hindu religion, Gods married Goddesses and they gave birth to many sons and daughters. We are their inherited offspring.
