BTW... I know you do not believe that the WORD here is Jesus(post 298). I am fine with the teaching that Jesus was there from the beginning, (but only in the thoughts of God). Thanks
1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God...(please elaborate)

What the word "word" refers to is 100% irrelevant as far as the pronouns go. In the Greek the pronouns are all masculine and in the Greek Nouns and Pronouns must agree in case, number and Gender, not because it proves Personhood, but because that is just the way Greek grammar works
So the word Church in greek is feminine and takes a feminine pronoun
You say "You say it is masculine", WRONG. Greek says it's masculine. The noun Logos is a masculine noun. Every pronoun in those verses are also masculine because the noun is.
This is not me making it up. This is not me arguing theology. This is me telling you how Greek grammar works.
So when you say "You say it is masculine" you make it seem as though I am making a theological argument when in fact any one that knows Greek or at least has access to those that DO know Greek will know the noun Logos is a masculine noun as are all the pronouns.
I am not going to "elaborate" on theology until that matter is clear.
