Question
Have you any Biblical supported way of seeing God the Holy Spirit as female? Hebrew is female, I’m told.”
Response
No. If the gender of the Hebrew language is supposed to be proof for female, then what of the Greek where it is neuter. But more than that, though the Greek may be neuter the Greek masculine personal pronoun is used to refer to the Holy Spirit. So, all three genders are used. The definitive answer as to how the Holy Spirit is to be looked upon is contained in two issues: 1) The aforementioned use of the Greek masculine personal pronoun when referring to Him. 2) The fact that He is the particular member of the Godhead spoken of as being directly responsible for conceiving Christ’s body in the womb of Mary (Matt 1:20; Luke 1:35). Mary is female, the Holy Spirit is not.
