Once again, the ONLY reason why anything is called a "HE" is to modify the MASCULINE noun with a masculine pronoun. The word Church from the greek is a feminine word and if it takes a pronoun that pronoun would be feminine also. Does that mean they intentionally meant to say we are all women?
Of course not. The ONLY time the word Spirit is used with the word HIM, in the greek, is when the masculine pronoun is used to modify the antecedent comforter because comforter is a masculine noun. The authors and speakers were just grammatically correct and this has nothing to do with theology.
In fact never EVER that I can find in the gospels is a pronoun even used with the word pneuma, except in
John 14 like we talked about and then it refers to the antecedent comforter. In agreement with that is one of the worlds best known greek scholar Daniel Wallace
Something interesting though that Trinitarians seem to over look. Jesus said "I in my FAther and you in me and I in you"...why does he leave out the third person of the Trinity?
BTW HOW is he in the Father, we in Him and He in us? It's through the Spirit which is what the context is abouit.
