Therefore, rid yourselves of all malice and all deceit, hypocrisy, envy, and slander of every kind. Like newborn babies, crave pure spiritual milk, so that by it you may grow up in your salvation, now that you have tasted that the Lord is good.
1st Peter 2:1-3.
While working through this passage at Xalt last night, I hit me for the first time that babies of course crave breast milk and that there was no other substitute at the time. Leaving us with the image of Suckling at the Breasts of the Lord. Now there are strong male images in the passage as well, so that leads me to the heretical thought that the image of God encompasses both Male and Female.

Gen 1:27 So God created people in his own image;
God patterned them after himself;
male and female he created them.
I always thought this should sort of close the book on whether or not God has both male and female traits. But for many people, it would seem, it doesn't!
