How does the proposition in the creed that God is "Father" elucidate the reality of God?

| I will assume you have an agenda in mind with this question???
Since the Nicene Creeed is seldom refered in this manner unless the person asking has an "anti Christian" view point and is wanting to attack the Nicene Creed.
The Christian Church and its council of Bishops developed the Creed as a summary of faith, It has been adopted by most denominations today and has helped form and shape alot of christian faith. | |

| It merely states the fact that God is the Father, this is witnessed though Jesus Christ that prayed to the Father. So it is merley a statement of faith and fact. | |

| When we consider male and female, we discern by sexual anatomy. I do not think God has any sexual anatomy at all. Why then is He the Father? Fr_Chuck makes a great point, but I would like to add my thoughts as well. Think about the emphasis/status He gave male. He created men to be dominate, leaders, strong (physically and emotionally), etc. God has dominion over everyone and all things, He is our leader, He is strong in all sense of the word and He created us. Therefore I would ask, how would God being anything other than the Father be a reality of God? | |

| God as Father gives us the sense that He is human, like us, and is similar to a good father who is interested and active in his childrens' affairs. Jesus told us to call upon our Father in time of trouble and to give thanks to Him for all the blessings He gives us. | |

| We also look at the Hewbrew traditions, where the name God had at that time, showed our relationship to him, Thus the several names used for God thoughout the old testement, God the Father, is also another way to look at a change in our relationship to God | |
