Let's look at those numbers again fellas:
Interesting! A 10.1% and 11.8% actual occurance that The Holy Spirit was used in the masculine sense? That is ultra low! Also, when it was used in the masculine sense, it wasn't always directed at the persona of The Spirit??!! Amazing!
With these results in mind, let's look at Acts 1:4 again:
This text points towards the next sentence:
Now let's look at the results from the OT study:
With this in mind, let's use the results as a criteria here:
Who does Jesus direct the action at here in Acts 1:4? Obviously, the person of The Holy Spirit, or The Spirit, hence the wording should have been feminine.
Face the facts fellas, the Old Testament speaks, and the numbers do not lie. This text you claim originality on is not original, let me say that again, it is not original. The hand of revision/corruption is evident here in this area.
Quote:9 out of 89 occurrences of the Spirit of God are masculine.
44 out of 373 occurrences of spirit (of whatever sort) are masculine.
9/89 = 10.1 % masculine
44/373 = 11.8 % masculine

This text points towards the next sentence:
Quote:For John baptised with water, but ye shall be baptized with The Holy Spirit not many days afterwards.
Now let's look at the results from the OT study:
Quote:"Spirit, when used as a masculine, seems to have the sense of either "wind" or "emotion, attitude". If it refers to the breath, or life force, the spirit, then it is feminine. The feminine can perhaps sometimes mean "wind" or "emotion, attitude", but the masculine, I would propose, can never mean "spirit" or "breath".
