The words such as "he" and "his" and "him" do NOT REFER to one gender--their uses denote general reference to both genders.

Check your high school English textbooks or English teachers.

I agree completely. Could you please tell that to my politically correct seminary professors who take off points when we don't use "inclusive" language? Or to the translators of the TNIV version of the Bible for that matter. One of its big changes is gender inclusive language. Makes me want to scream!
