:
The Bible says that God made man (Adam) in his own image.
Woman was made later, using one of Adam's ribs.
So yeah, God's male.
:
Well, one interpretation of genesis has Adam created as a hermaphrodite, then the female side removed later to create Eve.
I always thought that the "own image" bit was creating a lucid, sapient being like Himself. I wouldn't have thought that an omnipresent, non-physical being doesn't have an "image" per se.

But we now know that that is an attribute granted to many other organisms in the animal Kingdom, to varying degrees.
