Why YEC are so dogmatic

She has shown Herself to me personally! And if you take offense at the pronoun, be very careful. God is not male or female, like we humans are, and God does come to different people in different ways - where we are, not insisting that we go and find Him where He is hiding.

I do. He talks about himself in exclusively male terms. Maybe some will think that’s patriarchal, but I respect his choice. Father and Son. One Being with the Holy Spirit.

And about the Holy Spirit,

@St.Roymond

ὁ δὲ παράκλητος, τὸ πνεῦμα τὸ ἅγιον, “But the Helper, the Holy Spirit”

“Helper” (or “Advocate”, “Counselor”, or just “Paraclete” (the Greek word used) is a masculine, and since “the Holy Spirit” is a subordinate phrase the neuter is irrelevant. It’s also worth noting that an Advocate is a person. Given that this is Jesus telling us about the Advocate Who is the Holy Spirit, this is definitive for the New Testament.

So take more care.
