Subject: nature of the holy spirit of god |
Bible Note: Greetings Again! I forgot to explicitly answer your question at the bottom of your post. You asked: "But then again, we know that God the Father is a spirit; so is the Christ and the angels. The pronoun Scriptures assigned to them is that of third person. So why would the neuter pronoun be used of the Holy Spirit?" In my previous post, I demonstrated that the neuter form of the pronoun is not always used of the Holy Spirit. As to the rest of your question, masculine pronouns are used of God and Father, because in form both God and Father are masculine nouns. Masculine pronouns are used of Christ, but Christ is masculine in form. Neuter pronouns would normally be used for the Holy Spirit because spirit is neuter in form. I hope this helps!
