Unbelievable... the very first person that Jesus appeared to was a woman. But God, the Father; God, the Son; and God, the Holy Spirit, are male. The "woman" part of God is us, His church, the weaker vessel he loves and protects.

Unbelievable yourself! So how do you know that the Holy Spirit is male? It's not Casper, you know. The main symbol of the Holy Spirit is a dove, but other symbols are used, notably fire, water, oil and air.

Symbols are reflections of human understanding of God through the prism of culture. They may be God-given through Revelation, but the understanding of them is limited by language and imagination, which are entirely human.

You crack me up!

First mention of the Holy Ghost: (MATT 1:18) "Now the birth of Jesus Christ was on this wise: When as his mother Mary was esposed to Joseph, before they came together, she was found with child of the Holy Ghost." I don't think it can be any more obvious...

You crack me up!

Don't blame me...God did that when he made you female!
