I find it interesting where it says he made humans male and female in his image. I’ve heard some theologians describe it as God the Father being male and the holy Spirit being female....

...of course Jesus is also male, but a softer version (turn the other cheek etc )

I have read similar ideas of the Holy Spirit being female. I think that is a bit limiting and the Bible says little about the specific nature of the Holy Spirit. I personally think it could be possible the Holy Spirit contains the Godly aspects of the feminine but I think being specifically female is a reach, either way biblically there is nothing to stand on in my limited understanding.

As Spirited Irish says,

“I simply believe what GOD tells us about HIMself.
And that is the Rock we must unflinchingly stand upon.”

My pastor said, “We line up with the WORD, not try to make the WORD say what we want.”

If it’s in the BOOK, that’s the way it will be.
