Is the holy spirit a female?

Tripe. The TaNaKh was written in Hebrew and we Jews know what it says. The back legs of certain insects such as locusts have a jointed hind leg designed for jumping which have a special name in Hebrew וקרצולים. Some other insects, including some beetles, have similar hind legs. Which is why the Scriptures include multiple characteristics that the kosher insects must have. An insect is only kosher that has all of the characteristics. You are arguing from ignorance. The Jews have had these Scriptures for thousands of years and understand them quite well. They would have discovered if there was an inconsistency or error long before you came around to point it out. :rolleyes:
Funny, they never notice that we never had a worldwide flood or that Adam and Eve is not only a fairy tale, but one where God looks incompetent and vindictive. You might have like him. He was a lot like Trump. And that is not a compliment. Trump at least did not engage in genocide or innocent people.

It is like saying the Almighty has an arm or a face. It is figurative. Likewise a spirit is feminine. Not to be sexist, but feminine is usually associated with nurturing. Likewise a spirit nurtures its child. Of course the Hebrew word for spirit is an overloaded term and also means breath.
Right. Everyone knows that the Old Testament is to be taken figuratively since most of what is in it never happened.

If it's figurative, it's not really anthropomorphism. I don't know the Hebrew language, but this is simple linguistics. Especially in a language like Hebrew in my opinion.

Even in English sometimes we refer to a ship as "her". It's figurative. The ship is not awoman.

Anyway, the language having a feminine tense does not always mean female. And if it's figurative, that's not anthropomorphism.

Cheers.

“Everyone knows”.
LOL
Some joke.
Just having fun with you since we see far too often that people will arbitrarily say which parts of the Old Testament are to be taken literally and which parts are not.

How do you deal with the Flood myth or the creation myth, or the Tower of Babel myth in the Bible?

They are myths. Myth, per se, doesn’t equate to right or wrong. In the case of these Biblical myths they are true. Nor are they contradictory to science. Most purported contradictions between them are based on misinterpretations and misunderstandings.

Science is naturals contradiction.

Is termed illegal and lying.

As natural anything and everything existed first. Humans legal mutual equal given terms reviewed by humans status to human self.

Versus inhumane ancient brain mind burnt changed brothers. Whose natural survival instincts changed and thought differently.

The real teaching why.

Acted by group coercion as same mind bullies...threats...who murdered to build civilisation by families slavery by threats. Then murdered anyone who tried to stop nuclear burning of cold spatial held law womb mass.

So is the female in fake science terms holier than a man lying theist?

Yes.

As a human spiritual. Loves. Meek. I dislike murder or harm. Was I ever wrong not to be like our ******* brothers?

Arguable today. Why should any innocent human have ever been harmed by your choices?

Real answer we weren't anything like his thinking type.

Yet we are as innocent now today as personally to blame for allowing his gain of continued life's torment. With no human answer.

As we already chose legal with verdicts as our answers. Didn't actually change him as chosen behaviours. Civilisation motivated always.

Therefore a woman human owns an ovary. Men humans bodies didn't nor ever have.

Life human continuance involves men sex and the woman. Is she holier than you?

Yes says her living body.

Why then did you abuse her?

Real answer as lots of you became that bully brother yourself.

Circumstance. Science kept caused a star fall sun constant as terms of human man machines sciences.

Kept changing brain mind health development.

Sorry, but you cannot defend the Noah's Ark myth without diluting it to nothing. And the same applies to the Garden of Eden myth and the ages of people in Genesis. That is just a beginning. You can say, "yes, they are myths, and the science in them is rather wrong' but that does not matter. You could make a case for that, but when you try to claim the science is valid you have lost.

Human parents.

Humans legal position in nature is mutual equal.

Have human sex. Have babies. Any human now. Legal position. Same today as it ever was.

Babies grow into adult humans. Legal.

No human thought upon by a human using human brain first exists. No calculus and no ideas about terms science.

Family only.

Organised group co operated against natural human family. Illegal position any other type of group coercing is humans formation term changed natural advice.

Humans legal position exact. Groups organised or for group terms as group behaviour. Owned organised abuses are not legal first as family human. Legal position.

Position all illegal types by natural law. Groups enforced by historic group behaviour.

Natural law humans had to give a worded Entity type. Was a God and the type termed in legality all highest greatest positions...coldest.

For legal argument only for human family rights versus any other group purpose...including governing that owns science the group.

Please explain. I don't think you can give any new reasonable argument for your claim, but maybe you have something new and better now.
The problem is more likely to come from you. Let's start on something simple. The damage that six miles of water would do. Frankly we would see it and that damage is not to be seen.

Or are you going to claim that God is a liar?

Please tell what damage? And also why do you think there would be six miles of water over everything?

Wow! Why did you warn me and tell me that you know nothing of science or geography.


Did you not read the myth? Even the high mountains were covered. To cover Everest it would take almost six miles of water. And water is highly erosive. We have evidence of much smaller and much older floods. If that flood occurred there would be evidence of it.

Mountains were not as high in relation to the ocean floor during that time. By what the Bible tells, before the flood, there was only single continent that was broken and sunk. The result of that was modern continents and also Everest. And at the time of the flood, Everest was probably not as high as nowadays. However, also ocean floor was not as deep as now, because water had not compressed all sunken stuff yet as much as now.

...
And water is highly erosive....

Funny, if you believe that and still can believe in millions of years.

Once again, we knw that is not true. We can and have dated the mountains and know when they were formed. If you want to learn how and why you have to be willing to learn quite a bit of science. And if you deny science you really are performing an act of hypocrisy by posting here. The science, the materials itself that allow you to post here, are also the same sciences and derived from the same sciences that tell us that there was no flood. Matter at the bottom of the sea is not "compressed". At least not in the sense that you used the world. Six miles of water would have left a mark.

And why do you that it is funny that water is highly erosive? You do not seem to understand how water erodes materials. It does not erode uniformly. We can all agree on that. If it did we would not have mountains we would have level plains everywhere. Here is one one my favorite pictures that refutes the flood myth all by itself:
