text: Jesus and God the Father (aka YHUH) are regularly referred to as masculine-gender beings, I believe; I never said otherwise. But in biblical poetry there are feminine metaphors. And it's possible in mystical literature Jesus might be referred to as female/maternal. BUT Paul calls Jesus "the wisdom of God" in 1 Cor. 1 and 2, and the RCC's theological brethren the Eastern Orthodox early on developed a cult of Holy Wisdom.
  
  "Paráklêtos" is indeed a masculine-gender being in John, a figure imagined as successor to the male Jesus, continuing his consoling presence after his ascent/removal from view. Hardly the last word on the Holy Spirit, however.
  
  What in the world have I to do with L. Ron Hubbard?!, mein Gott! It is no intention of mine to produce a new-improved Christianity, only to shed a little light on the confusions, unhelpful directions, and tendentious unimpressive explications of the old one.
