Is the Holy Spirit Female?

[WatchmanOnTheWall]

The pronoun SHE is use every time in the original Hebrew scriptures when describing the Holy Spirit, while the New Testament Greek only used non-gender pronouns and never calls the Holy Spirit He.

As it says in Luke the Holy Spirit together with God the Father over shadowed Mary when Jesus was conceived.

Is the Holy Spirit the Mother of Jesus and as the Bride of Christ are we the perfect family?

When God said 'let US make man in OUR IMAGE' whose image was Eve made from?

Here are 40 examples from the Old Testament of the Holy Spirit being called a SHE:

29 "And now I have told you before it comes, that when it does come to pass, you may believe.
30 "I will no longer talk much with you, for the ruler of this world is coming, and he has nothing in Me.
John 14:23-24
23 Jesus answered and said to him, "If anyone loves Me, he will keep My word; and My Father will love him, and We will come to him and make Our home with him.

18 "I will not leave you orphans; I will come to you.
Matt 3:16-17
16 When He had been baptized, Jesus came up immediately from the water; and behold, the heavens were opened to Him, and He saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove and alighting upon Him.
17 And suddenly a voice came from heaven, saying, "This is My beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased."
John 1:51

11 for he who greets him shares in his evil deeds.
Rev 22:18-19

(NKJ)

xxxNow if you demand that it be put in the carnal language before you will believe it, that makes you very hard-hearted. And the hard-hearted always strain out a gnat and swallow a camel. God turned some of His angels into spirits. Angels work out side of us, and spirits work inside of us. The Holy Spirit is an asigned angel that only quotes verses to us from inside. He is a spirit but because He quotes the Holy Word, He is a Holy Spirit. And He cant talk to you without useing the verses.

Matt 23:24
24 "Blind guides, who strain out a gnat and swallow a camel!
Mark 8:18
18 "Having eyes, do you not see? And having ears, do you not hear? And do you not remember?
(NKJ)

xxxAngels work from out side of us. Spirits work from inside of us. And God has turned some of His angels into spirits so that they might abide inside of us. And the one that quotes verses is the Holy One, or Holy Spirit, or Holy Ghost.

Heb 1:7
7 And of the angels He says: "Who makes His angels spirits and His ministers a flame of fire."
(NKJ)

John 15:26
26 "But when the Helper comes, whom I shall send to you from the Father, the Spirit of truth who proceeds from the Father, He will testify of Me.

8 And to her it was granted to be arrayed in fine linen, clean and bright, for the fine linen is the righteous acts of the saints.
9 Then he said to me, "Write: 'Blessed are those who are called to the marriage supper of the Lamb!'" And he said to me, "These are the true sayings of God."
Rev 21:2-14
2 Then I, John, saw the holy city, New Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband.
3 And I heard a loud voice from heaven saying, "Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and He will dwell with them, and they shall be His people. God Himself will be with them and be their God.
4 "And God will wipe away every tear from their eyes; there shall be no more death, nor sorrow, nor crying. There shall be no more pain, for the former things have passed away."
5 Then He who sat on the throne said, "Behold, I make all things new." And He said to me, "Write, for these words are true and faithful."
6 And He said to me, "It is done! I am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End. I will give of the fountain of the water of life freely to him who thirsts.
7 "He who overcomes shall inherit all things, and I will be his God and he shall be My son.
8 "But the cowardly, unbelieving, abominable, murderers, sexually immoral, sorcerers, idolaters, and all liars shall have their part in the lake which burns with fire and brimstone, which is the second death."
9 Then one of the seven angels who had the seven bowls filled with the seven last plagues came to me and talked with me, saying, "Come, I will show you the bride, the Lamb's wife."

There is no pronoun "she" in those verses ( I only checked the first few- but I see where your error is). In fact, there is no pronoun at all.

What you are running into is the fact that in Biblical Hebrew, as in many languages, both ancient and modern, all objects have gender. A table is either male or female. Likewise a chair, or a cup- or the wind/spirit. English is an unusual language in not having this feature, so an English speaker might read more into this than there really is.

So the wind or spirit has the feminine gender,which affects what form of the verb is used, but does not imply that the inanimate object is "male" or "female".

You will notice that the translations do not put the word "she" into the text. The translators knew how Hebrew works, so they avoided that mistake.

You may consider studying Biblical Hebrew.

God does not reproduce sexually.

The Spirit did not have sex with Mary.

I'm not saying 'She' did. Although Jesus is begotten of the Father so...?

That fact is the scripture describes the Holy Spirit as female and Jesus believed this:

John 10:35
Scripture cannot be discredited.

10 And he carried me away in the Spirit to a great and high mountain, and showed me the great city, the holy Jerusalem, descending out of heaven from God,

Actually the Church is the Bride:

Ephesians 5:25–27
25Married men, love your wives, as Christ also loved the Church and gave Himself up to death for her; 26in order to make her holy, cleansing her with the baptismal water by the word, 27that He might present the Church to Himself a glorious BRIDE, without spot or wrinkle or any other defect, but to be holy and unblemished.

2 Corinthians 11:2
For I am jealous for you with the jealousy of God himself. I promised you as a pure BRIDE to one husband--Christ.

You'll need to provide a citation to back this up or my point still stands. I've heard that argument before but never any proof. Here's a citation or two for you to think about:

Unity Church[edit]
The Unity Church's co-founder Charles Fillmore considered the Holy Spirit a distinctly feminine aspect of God considering it to be "the love of Jehovah" and "love is always feminine".[38]

Messianic Jews[edit]
The B'nai Yashua Synagogues Worldwide,[39] a Messianic group headed by Rabbi Moshe Koniuchowsky, holds to the feminine view of the Holy Spirit.[40][41] Messianic Judaism is considered by most Christians and Jews to be a form of Christianity.

There are also some other independent Messianic groups with similar teachings. Some examples include Joy In the World;[42][43] The Torah and Testimony Revealed;[44] Messianic Judaism - The Torah and the Testimony Revealed;[45] and he Union of Nazarene Jewish Congregations/Synagogues[46] ,[47] who also count as canonical the Gospel of the Hebrews which has the unique feature of referring to the Holy Spirit as Jesus' Mother.[48]

Some scholars associated with mainline denominations, while not necessarily indicative of the denominations themselves, have written works explaining a feminine understanding of the third member of the Godhead.[49]

I have little interest in what the church says about the holy spirit. I do have an interest in factual accuracy.

I stated that all objects in Biblical Hebrew have gender. It is also true in Modern Hebrew (an Israeli child knows this), German, French, and many other languages. This is well-known, which is why you have heard it before.

Here are some sources that will help you understand this:

Biblical Hebrew has two genders, masculine and feminine, which are reflected in nouns, adjectives, pronouns, and verbs.

In Hebrew, like some other languages (but not English), every word has a gender. In Hebrew we have 2 gender - masculine (male - zachar, זכר) and feminine (female - nekeva, נקבה) and each word belongs to one of them. There is no nutral gender (it).

There is no obvious way of knowing if a word is male or female, but you learn to recognize the gender from the structure of the word after a short time.

All Hebrew nouns are either feminine or neuter. Hebrew does not carry a "neuter" gender, as Biblical Greek does.

1) Hebrew Grammar
Not only is Hebrew grammar distinct for masculine and feminine subjects, but even objects and numbers in Hebrew take on a 'gender.'

I hope this will suffice. You can say the the Christian concept of the Holy Spirit is female- that does not concern me much. But please don't use a misunderstanding of Hebrew to support the idea.

None of them prove your argument, in fact all of them prove the Holy Spirit is indeed female. Just posting links about how Hebrew pronouns are male and female will only strengthen the fact the Bible says the Holy Spirit is female.

You will not find a credible citation proving your point.

It is you who can't read:

Job 33:4
http://www.scripture4all.org/OnlineInterlinear/OTpdf/job33.pdf

Do you need me to spoon feed you the others as well?

I see where their linear translation put in the word "she". I admit that I did not see that at first. The translation on the side, like all translations, does not include the word "she". It does not appear in the text. It is an attempt to include the gender of the noun in their word-by-word translation.

They do this in general. See how they add the word "she" to their translation of "ground" in Genesis 3:17-19. I think you will admit than "ground" is not really a "she"- it is just the way Hebrew grammar is.

They are aware of how Hebrew works, and they wanted to include the gender in their English translation.

Please read a couple the sources that I gave you about gender in Hebrew. It really will straighten this out in a few minutes. Read, and only then then respond please.

Thank you

It appears in the linear translation that watchman used. Under the text (in green- i missed it at first). They include it to indicate the gender of the object, as they do in other cases as well- I posted an example in the previous post.

There is no pronoun at all in the Hebrew. All nouns in Hebrew have gender, so they wanted to show that.

Yeah that's right you've never seen it and now your trying to save face but actually you're only digging yourself deeper. It say SHE because the Holy Spirit is a SHE. Accept it or admit you are rejecting the Word of God. You can't have it both ways.

Hebrew is clear in it's feminine pronouns when ascribed to the person. She is a she and he is a he.

You simply were not aware of this till now, it's just new information, we all learn new things every day.
