Similar to the Narnia series. However, whilst Narnia has a lion to represent God, I've thought about having a queen in my story. Would it be wrong to represent God in this way? since God isn't a female? Or is it acceptable since the whole story is just a metaphor? If it is wrong, should I change it to a king?

God knows who your target audience is; go with the choice that has the most peace (or least turmoil) as you seek His leading Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would definitely be misleading and wrong. A king would be accurate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not a queen. As was said, He is King Of Kings, and Lord of Lords. In all honesty I would not watch anything that depicted my Heavenly Father as a queen.

Aslan was a male lion. This world is already confusing enough. Ever read the book The Shack? God was depicted as a woman in that book and it just felt disrespectful to me.

The Shack was a very popular book.I am an avid reader.I picked it up and got through several chapters.A red flag went up.I started doing some research.Well,I never picked it up again and try to make better decisions in the books that I read.
