God/himself

some people are using "Godself." "God himself" can sometimes be "that very God." Since the word "God" is sex-neutral, the correct pronoun should also be sex-neutral. You can often circumlocute to avoid the reflexive pronoun (sometimes this is best done by changing the verb that takes the pronoun). See also God (Christian), God/he, God/his.
