I really cannot understand why you of all people put a like on Ross M?????? Blain???? For anyone to even consider Holy Spirit a female would have to make the Lord part female?? wow! I am shocked!

1. I was associating the Holy Spirit as Mother Earth.

I don't know about personal Angels, it's just feeling Angels right? If you're only feeling things on that level, then they could be fallen demons masquerading as angels of light.

2. I have more than enough information from God about the angels he sent me.

Hi Ross,
it's good to guard your heart from drawing attention to yourself as you mentioned. I also think of the Holy Spirit as woman, no trouble with gender, it sais "The Spirit and the bride say come and drink of the water of life freely." The Holy Spirit is given to the bride for ever; keeping In mind "In Christ there is no longer male and female but a new creature. It's written, "When He the Spirit of truth is come He will guide you into all truth, He will not speak of Himself... Jesus is gathering us in the mystery of God that He may fill all things, as apart from His Spirit we have no Life in Spirit. It remains the Mystery of God in this life, as "Knowledge puffs up, but Love builds up. "If any man thinks he knows, he does not know as he should." If we think we know we stop learning: to go on to know the Lord, to grow in Love, to recognise Him in the least esteemed, and it's the judgment. "Forasmuch as you have done it to the least of these my brethren, you have done it to Me."
Just over a year ago I changed from pride of achievement to learn humility, and it was my low self esteem that kept me trying to prove myself to God and man. What the law was to expose in us, our need of God's Spirit, to be carried into rest in God.

I've read this verse recently in my latest Upper Room copy, Jul/19th I think it was, there was a passage added to it that reminded me of a really lucid dream I had recently. Matthew I think it was.

Hi Ross, nice to meet you.

I think that you could do with reavaluating some of your beliefs in the
context of the bible. It does not mention Mother Nature or Mother Earth.

The Holy Spirit is God living on the inside of you. That's if you have been born again.
It might be useful for you to do a word study or bible study on the Holy Spirit.
Jesus told the disciples he was going but that he would send another to be with
them, the Holy Spirit.

Something like this may be a starting place.


What Are the Attributes of the Person of the Holy Spirit?

I have never read anything in the bible which suggests the Holy Spirit should be
referred to as a "she"

As for angels they are real, but so is Satan - he can appear as an angel of light.
Discernment is needed where angels are concerned. There are people who seem to
have a specific gift of seeing the supernatural around us including angels. But care
needs to be taken that they are not seeing something else instead.

Many wrong religious ideas/teachings which contradict the bible, have started with
people "supposedly" communicating with angels.

Im sure you will find this place interesting. :)

You'd think having the Son of God walking at your side day and night was enough, nooo.

Personal Angels? It's like vanity plates.

Yes stonsoffire proverbs 8 Wisdom can come from both a male or a female. And is called upon to have by all.( proverbs 8:3-5) But wisdom itself is not a person but rather a gift given to us by Jesus a male!( 1 Cor 1:30-31) just as righteousness and sanctification and redemption is. Could not be more plain,LOL at least to me.

Definitely New Age. It roots are from Greek mythology concerning Gaia, the primal mother earth goddess.

I think it is a type of spiritualism, I have seen all kinds of spiritualists appear over the course of two years alone it's basically like making a smoothie you pick your brand of religion yogurt and creatively add your own ingredients blend it together and bam you got your own kind of spiritual smoothie, it's not unique and is similar to many other smoothies but it has some ingredients that others don't

When we think were'er hear from God.....
If it don't line up with the Holy Bible,
God-Breathed Inspired Word.....

Men are so squeamish about God encompassing feminine aspects.
Adam was created with both genders. I bet that freaks them out too!

Hello hello??? Women are created in the image of God. That
aligns perfectly with the revealed written Word of God.

God created mankind in his own image, in the image of
God he created them; male and female he created them.

Eve was removed from Adam. How else would you explain it?

And did you know that creation was good until Eve
was made, and then God pronounced it very good :D

I think of God as a spirit which is not male or female in the human sense -- because human maleness and humane femaleness exclude eachother.

However both of them exhibit qualities which God holds. When we see those qualities we may think 'God is strong, like a man' or 'God is nurturing, like a woman', but really it is the opposite, the ideal man is strong like God, and the ideal woman is nurturing like God.

A lot of gender divisions (in the church of all places) is because people build their identities on their physical body instead of their spirit, so they cannot relate to God completely, and they either choose to become like a masculinized human God or a feminized human God, not the real living God... for whom service and leadership are one and the same.

Truly God transcends our physical limitations (including gender to be sure)... I call God a He because Jesus referred to Him in the masculine, and as Father. That is good enough for me :)

How is a spirit a guy, mmm, what image are ants made in? Or flowers.

I see everything as the image of God, except everything we create artificially.
