Assigned male gender out of respect, nothing more. God is gender less.Depends on who you ask I suppose, but as the Abrahamic god is assigned a male gender, most would say male. JWs believe the HS to be an impersonal force I believe, so presumably they would not ascribe a gender to it. Does it really matter unless you believe it exists?
Are you suggesting that referring to a hypothetically genderless being as Her would be disrespectful? Seriously?In Islam the gender less Angel Gabriel is the Holy Spirit., peace be upon Him. We say Him, out of respect.
Spirit is spirit. It's not a biological entity. The spirit of "holiness" is the spirit of love, forgiveness, kindness, and generosity, within each of us. It's not an 'invisible being' with a sexual personality.is the holy spirit male? female? or neither?
So, realistically, should be referred to as IT.Spirit is spirit. It's not a biological entity. The spirit of "holiness" is the spirit of love, forgiveness, kindness, and generosity, within each of us. It's not an 'invisible being' with a sexual personality.
To the Societies it was revealed to yes.Are you seriously suggesting that referring to a hypothetically genderless being as Her would be disrespectful?
So why do you still use the term if your are living in a more enlightened society and era?To the Societies it was revealed to yes.
Simply not to fall into confusion. She is the Almighty <<<<< She?? Does she give birth? Does she have parents? Does she have a start and end etc etcSo why do you still use the term if your are living in a more enlightened society and era?
Nice work at promoting the infantilization of women from a misogynistic patriarchal mindset, and that's coming from a right wing Canadian conservative, LOL.Simply not to fall into confusion. She is the Almighty <<<<< She?? Does she give birth? Does she have parents? Does she have a start and end etc etc
This is why He, ALLAH is a perfect usage for the Almighty
Do you know where to place the vowels on the Letters Yod He Wav He, so we can hear what the name sounds like spoken out aloud?In another thread you used YHWH, to refer to deity. Are you not aware that YHWH, is not in the koran?
Yes. And especially among religious Christians, I think. Because in the trinity they already have a semi-anthropomorphized God in "God the Father", a fully anthropomorphized God in "Jesus the Christ", so they do not need yet another anthropomorphized version of God as the "Holy Ghost". Too much anthropomorphization of God leads to self-projection, regressive superstition, and religious authoritarianism.So, realistically, should be referred to as IT.

so it could sound like ALLAH if someone knew how to say it out correctly.I might. Generally, Jehovah, is how I write that, but I 'm not sure what you're trying to argue. We use approximations for JHVH.
Do a search, in many places, 'I am' with you, 'I am' the etc etc It's also used by numerous people in the NT:Where?
Elohim is not the name of God though is it?Except it isn't Allah. It's Elohim.
I speak from the perspective of the Abrahamic faiths. You are free to believe what you like.in the image of god he created them male and female. they are a reflection of God's dual gender. God is not genderless.
i was raised in the abrahamic faith. God is not a abrahamic faith. we're all free to believe what we will. God is not disconnected from her/his creation. men who assign limits to the Almighty are just men. The Almighty is greater than islam, judaism, christianity. she created all these things and men simply found them in their searching.I speak from the perspective of the Abrahamic faiths.

Ok that's fine, Abraham pbuh traces his lineage back to Adam and Eve pbut, the first humans of our age. What evidence have you to support God is duel gender?i was raised in the abrahamic faith.
