Subject: Is 'Pneuma' really feminine? |
Bible Note: "Since it is neutrul as you say does this not mean it can also be feminine as well as masculine." Why would you draw that conclusion? "I see no reason to argue a point that does not contradict my previous statement but merely reaffirms it." Sure it contradicts it. You claimed the the Holy Spirit is female because (you claimed) the word "pneuma" is feminine. Your conclusion fails because it was founded on incorrect premises. Nothing is affirmed but your lack of knowledge of Greek gender. The word for "helper" in John 16:7, referring to the Holy Spirit, is masculine. By the same pattern of thinking you used, the Holy Spirit is therefore male, right? Now is there something wrong with your logic, or are you willing to concede the masculinity of the Holy Spirit based on the gender of "parakletos"? --Joe! |
