Feminine Holy Spirit?
#8
crossway, you obviously have no problem making assumptions because you have no idea to what languages I know or don't know. FYI I don't claim to speak Greek or Aramaic.

You have preconceived ideas and it shows. The Scriptures in the original languages certainly don't read as having a grammatically masculine HOLY SPIRIT.

Apart from that since you don't believe the NT Scriptures were first penned in Semetic languages: regarding Greek - I know enough to say that the word Spirit will always have neuter modifiers --perceived masculine modifiers of a neuter noun are mismatched. That is basic.

Also, Bible texts in any language certainly don't have the HOLY SPIRIT in a masculine role. There is a reason why Jews consider the HOLY SPIRIT to be feminine and/or having a female role apart from just grammar. Don't insult me.

You wrote, "I was told that in Aramaic, Jesus speaks of the Holy Spirit in feminine terms". What you were "told" is TRUE and that's not easy on Western ears.

And as for this question you asked, "Does Jesus 100% of the time in the New Testament only use masculine pronouns and phrases concerning the Holy Spirit?"

The answer is absolutely NO. Jesus did NOT ?100% of the time in the New Testament use ONLY masculine pronouns AND PHRASES concerning the HOLY SPIRIT?. Just read Paul Younan's first post again.
