My husband and I are just more confused now than ever. Some people say one thing, and some people say another thing. How do I know who's got it right? If my mind can be changed from something that I once believed so strongly in, how do I know which side is right? When I used to pray or study this, it all just made sense. Now when I pray, I feel something totally different. I feel like I'm being torn in two. I just cried so hard all the way home from church last night. I keep trying not to think about this or talk about it, but I can't. I feel like I'm going to crack! My husband is a 5th generation pentecostal, and he's just as lost as I am....

I'd have to have more information. You don't need to completely understand the greek, but you should know somethings. And you can! You can learn some things on your own. You can buy a book by Vines on learning NT greek. It is cheap, fairly easy but will not make you an expert. You can also find websites to help too.
However I don't know what you mean here by masculine and feminine...what words exactly are we speaking of? Which verse? Which translation? Which translation of what word?
