Could Jesus have been a woman? [Details inside].

Asked by rebbel (35547points) February 10th, 2012

Andrew Lloyd Webber’s upcoming Jesus Christ Superstar talent search will reportedly allow female auditionees. Sources say that the legendary producer is open to having a woman play Jesus in an upcoming arena tour of the rock opera. “Andrew wants to create the best performance he can and if that means hiring a woman to be Jesus then so be it,” Source

What do you think, could Jesus have been a woman?
According to my newspaper in two ‘excerpts’ in the Bible (Matthew 23 “How often have I desired to gather your children together as a hen gathers her brood under her wings, and you were not willing!” and in Isaiah supposedly God is described with “female images”) there is talk of Jesus being female.
Could Webber’s idea be considered blasphemy?
Would Jesus have been Christa, would that have meant a totally different church institution only female priests, female bishops and a female Pope?
