What Gender is The Holy Spirit?

        Praise The Lord Saints!!  Praise The Lord!!  How are you doing today?  Fine, I hope.  I have a very important question to ask everyone!!  What gender is the Holy Spirit?

B

 I am asking this question because I have been hearing women’s voices for the past 10 years now.  I know that this is not a very easy subject to talk about.  It is that I am very concerned about my personal salvation.  I have been baptized on February 15, 2015.  The only voices that I have been hearing are female voices.  I thought that the Holy Spirit is a man.  I really do not know because the voices that I have been hearing are women.  These women are always giving me direction and suggestions.

Next, I want to inform all of you that I have been hearing voices since November 5, 2009.  I remember on that day because it was on a Thursday evening when I started hearing voices.  At first, I was not aware of what was going on, but I prayed about it.  I asked God whether or not these voices are real.  I want to tell everyone the truth that I have never heard God’s voice in my entire life.  Some might laugh at me when I say that I have never heard God’s voice.  This is not a laughing matter.

        Further, I want to inform all of you that these voices that I have been hearing used to laugh at me all of the time.  The only reason why I am bringing this up because I am making everyone aware of a major problem.

E

  I want to literally find out whether the Holy Spirit is a man or a woman.  I know that the Bible verses that I have been reading regarding the Holy Spirit do not tell us whether it is a man or a woman that is talking to us.  I want to know because I do not want to be deceived by Satan and his demonic spirits.

        Further, I want to say that I feel sad and depressed because I am hearing women’s voices all of the time.  I only want to ask everyone this question because I want some transparency. 

        Moreover, I want to inform all of you that I have been curious to know what gender is the Holy Spirit.  I just need some clarification on this matter.  I will admit that I do believe in the Lord Jesus Christ and God the Father.  I do believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God.  I also believe that Jesus Christ died for the sins of everyone.  I believe that; the Holy Spirit is real.  I only want to ask this question because I have been hearing women’s voices for 10 years now.  What gender is the Holy Spirit?  I really would like to know.  I understand that I am saved from all of my sins.  I am trying to think saved.  I want to inform everyone that I only want my question answered.

Finally, I would like for someone to please answer my question.  I am saved!! I believe in God!!  I believe in all of the things that pertains to the Holy Spirit.  It is that I have been female voices for the past decade.  I understand that I have had a stroke on November 8, 2008.  It is that; the doctor told me that I will be suffering from auditory hallucinations due to the stroke itself.  I only want someone to please help me to determine what gender is the Holy Spirit.  I really need help answering this question.  Thank You for your cooperation.

One thought on “What Gender is The Holy Spirit?”

  1. In the Bible, God the Father and God the Son, Jesus Christ, are both addressed as male. What about the Holy Spirit? Often, people refer to the Holy Spirit as an “it,” yet Scripture refers to the Holy Spirit as a male, just as it does for the Father and the Son. Some critics point out that the Greek word for “spirit,” pneuma, is neuter (not gender specific) or that the Hebrew Old Testament word for “spirit,” ruach, is used as feminine in Genesis 1:2. However, the gender of a word in Hebrew or Greek does not specifically indicate the gender identity of what the word identifies. As an example, in English, we often refer to a boat or a nice car as a “she” (as in “ain’t she a beauty?”). However, the boat itself is not female.

    Further, the Holy Spirit is referred to as a person, not an impersonal force. The Holy Spirit has insight (1 Corinthians 2:10-11), knowledge (Romans 8:27), and a will (1 Corinthians 12:11). The Holy Spirit also performs many actions only a person can accomplish, including convicting people of sin (John 16:8), doing miracles (Acts 8:39), and guiding humans (John 16:13).

    Actions can also be directed toward the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit can be lied to (Acts 5:3), resisted (Acts 7:51), grieved (Ephesians 4:30), blasphemed (Matthew 12:31), and insulted (Hebrews 10:29).

    But is the Holy Spirit male, female, or neuter? From a grammatical standpoint, the words used to refer to the Holy Spirit are consistently masculine. Theologically speaking, we must remember that God is not human and therefore does not fit within our definitions of male or female. It is appropriate to speak of the Holy Spirit in male terms as Scripture does, but we must understand that God is wholly other and does not exist in the same form as we do (with the exception of Jesus as God in human form).

    In summary, the Bible uses masculine terms to refer to the Holy Spirit. The Spirit is a “He,” not an “it” or a “she.” However, God is Spirit and exists in a form that defies male/female categories. There is no justification for belief in a female member of the Trinity.
