Subject: Is the Holy Spirit ever feminine gender? |
Bible Note: Dear Tim, I was thinking about this regarding the difference between noun gender in German and in Spanish. In Spanish, the word for sun is masculine and the word for moon is feminine -- the opposite of German. The distinction is interesting, but purely etymological. It would be silly to look for actual gender in the sun and the moon based on such linguistic peculiarities. Does that example capture the sense of what you have instructed us regarding the word spirit in Scripture? In Him, Doc PS I always thought it was odd that the German word "madchen" (little girl) is a neuter word! :-) |
