The Feminine Holy Spirit; An Interesting Article
Here’s an article that Gary found today on the subject of the feminine Holy Spirit. As most of you know, one of the mysteries which God is revealing to the Body of Christ as we speak, and which we are currently teaching in the Final Word TV seminar entitled “The Seven Spirits Of God”, is the fact of the feminine Holy Spirit. Some of you may also know that this piece of Scriptural information is enough to cause more than one self-proclaimed bible scholar to totally lose their cool.
So for those of you who may have heard angry arguments that the idea of a feminine Holy Spirit is heretical, pagan, disturbing, or obviously a conclusion that could only be reached by a woefully uneducated mind, a cult-leader, a reprobate heretic, or (worst of all) a woman–I thought it might be refreshing to share a bit of sanity with you.
This article was written by R. P. Nettelhorst, whom you will be shocked to learn is neither a Gnostic, a Branch Davidian, or an ignoramus. (Not to slander those who are—in fact, the apostles themselves were uneducated men.) This is a person who, in fact, graduated with honors from a Baptist College, and serves as a Professor of Bible and Biblical Languages. Mr. Nettelhorst is founder and Academic Vice President of Quartz Hill School of Theology. Here is a short bio on Mr. Nettlehorst, from his website, www.nettelhorst.com:

In my research for this seminar, though I employed (as always) many study tools, I used only one textbook. That would be the Bible. I will say, however, that the pure research included in Appendix 3 to this paper would certainly have saved me a lot of work….
Here are the links to the article / research. Enjoy!
