Hey, I didn't start this thread and here you are discussing it like the rest of us.



The topic here is the Spirit, not the flesh.

According to this Praxeas character, God created the Y chromosome. That is interesting.

and whether or not the scriptures support the use of it ... to describe the Spirit of God ...

I have proven apparently that some translators play w/ the language and original intent of the writers ...

I just smiled at him until he ran out of air.

Nobody said we aren't the bride of Christ, but the point was, before Dan twisted it, is that many greek words have gender and that does not make something a female person. Even the number 1 in greek has masculine, feminine and neuter forms.

It's really irrelevant, which has been my point since the beginning. These nouns and pronouns by themselves don't necessarily show a male or female or even a neuter PERSON. There is more to it than just the fact a word has gender.

The translators used the word "it" because the noun in question is a neuter noun.

That's all. And, BTW, those translators were Trinitarian. They were not playing with the language. The greek word for spirit is Neuter.

only if the noun or pronoun was originally feminine.

Again masculine nouns take a masculine pronoun. Neuter takes neuter. Feminine takes feminine

And this does not harmonize w/ the rest of scripture ... Praxeas ...

God is a He in scripture the the NAS and NIV ... got it.

Simple ... its poor translation out of context .... by the KJV ...

This thread has made me more of NIV/NAS man.

According to this "deseret" character, God has DNA....which is a material substance, which means God Himself was created. Perhaps Deseret is trying to pass himself (isn't deseret a girls name?) as a Mormon?

I am not trying to pass myself off as a Mormon.
