Why God Should Come To Life as a Woman


Marina Tsvetayeva, a classical Russian poet, wrote,

God do not judge; on the earth
A woman you never were.

She has a profound argument there. According to the Bible, Jesus was God come alive to earth in the human form, with all the features of human being, who because he understood human experience was more likely to be merciful and understanding than a being that had never been human. He had great insight into human condition, and being both man and God he was able to advocate before God for men while also advocating before men for God. He experienced all the weaknesses and temptations to which people are liable and was therefore merciful toward other people.

Why does not God incarnate as a female, so that He understands the woman's condition and is more compassionate and merciful toward women as well?

Why not incarnate as a female? Women are half the world's population, and a God who has never been a female would find it difficult to relate to the women. Whereas if God comes to earth as a female, He is more likely to understand women by having experienced woman's condition on His own skin.

I have definitely known women of great intelligence, great integrity and great wisdom. Yet much of that wisdom gets lost because it is portrayed as part of something sinful. Some women are as wise as Jesus or Solomon; but they get portrayed as witches or worse. People benefit from their wisdom, then they burn them at the stake.

So I ask this of God. Why not come to earth as a woman and actually understand women enough to decide what's right and what's wrong for them?
