Is God as Father?

The metaphor of God as father shows up almost exclusively in the Gospel of John, which was written 70 years after the other three Gospels. When people have come across feminine imagery, whether it's in our songs or what we've talked about or hearing other people's, people go right to revelation. We were handed this thing through Jesus. So why shouldn't we? There's just so many things that Jesus did that undermine this idea.
