What does it mean to call God “Father”? A viral debate clip featuring Charlie Kirk raised a pointed challenge: if men are defined biologically by XY chromosomes, then what about God, who has neither chromosomes nor a body? Does that make God “gender fluid”?

In this episode of Five-Minute Debate, host Robert Smith moderates between Dr. Anna Levy, professor of Old Testament studies, who argues that masculine language for God is theologically essential and rooted in creation distinctions, and Dr. Marcus Trent, historian of early Christianity, who contends that God transcends gender categories altogether. Along the way, they examine pagan worldviews, biblical metaphors, and Michael Heiser’s insights into God’s otherness.
