" but Satan is male in my Bible"

I don't think of Satan as having a gender - he/she is a spirit and has never had a body, so cannot really be either male or female. I take the use of 'he' as convenience, rather than saying 'it'.

Reading the other comments above, I would say from my understanding of the Bible God has both male and female characteristics, but as God became incarnate as a man in Jesus, I will quite happily use 'he'.
