Does the official COG seminary (PTS) affirm that the Holy Spirit is a “she”? Just curious as one of your faculty apparently does. This is based on recent social media statements by a current professor. Just curious if this continued feminization of the seminary is embraced officially by admin? I assume they must? And do they (institutionally)agree that the Holy Spirit is the feminine nature of Trinity? Just wondering

Can you provide the content of the statement that led you off on this long string of uncharitable assumptions?The gender of πνεῦμα is neutral. There's some disagreement among even conservative Greek scholars concerning whether

This is an indirect result of making the Spirit a separate person from the Father to begin with. It is inconceivable that the Jews viewed the God that created the Heavens and the Earth and the Spirit of God that moved over the face of the waters as anything other than the same person. Jesus said of the Father, God is Spirit. Jehovah said that in the last days I will pour out of MY Spirit upon all flesh. The Holy Ghost overshadowed Mary and she conceived. Did Jesus have 2 Fathers? In Bible College, the textbook for our Theology class was one printed by the Four Square organization. In the chapter of about the Trinity, God the Father took up dozens of pages as well as God the son. Interestingly, God the Holy Ghost took up very few pages. This speaks very loudly. Jesus said that the Spirit would be another Comforter, not another God. He is another Comforter because the one who was currently the disciple's Comforter was about to bodily depart to Heaven and would no longer be visible to them. But this does not at all mean that the Spirit would be anyone or anything different than as the Jews understood him beginning in Genesis 1:2. The Holy Spirit is God, the masculine He who stretched for the Heavens ALONE

For the 1st time, u & I are in total agreement 😋It's like school with books for children saying that they're little girls and that's okay. Teaching boys that's okay to be girls is disgusting. I chalk this up with tha Ps 122:6

I think we all know that God is not "male" in the sense that humans are male.

He transcends gender divisions. We know that. And yet, God CHOSE to call Himself a FATHER. Why? I think it was at least two-fold: 1) To distinguish from the many goddess religions of that time and place; and 2) because He functions more in the stereotypical father sense (I think) than in the stereotypical mother sense.However, since we agree that God is neither male nor female in the traditional sense of the word, we still see that God is represented as a FATHER...and as a SON. But that clearly begs the question of, If there is a Father, and if there is a Son, then is there a Mother?I don't consider the Holy Ghost to be feminine in any particular way (certainly no more so than the Father or Son), but if MAY BE that, in keeping with the familial assignments of Father and Son, there could be someone who, while neither male nor female, functions in some sense as the Mother element to the Father and Son.Possible?

If the Father and Son are persons of a being called God, then how is their Father and Son relationship even real? It seems more like some sort of role playing
