A Letter from a Reader - NCCG.ORG Ning Network Archive 2008-10

Shalom in Yah's name. I just read ur article on the relationship between Yah and his son Yahushua and I can't help but shout hallekuYAH. The same revelation was given to me regarding the Godhead. However with respect to the Spirit, I would first like to say that Wisdom in the scriptures is a reference to Yahushua not the ruach (1 cor.1:24), he is often pictured as feminine because he was fashioned from Yah's eternal spirit (like female from male ribs).

The Mashiach is the feminine part of Yah the Father being fashioned from him. The sevens spirits are fashioned from Yahshua's own self and thus represent his feminine part. They are the 7 archmalakim before his throne. Thus all are masculine but feminine with regards to the One from whom they proceed. Shalom.

I response, I would invite you to read Yaacov's book, Patriarchinity where I think you will find the matters you raise satisfactorily resolved.

As far as Yah'shua being Wisdom (1 Cor.1:24) that is not inconsistent with the Ruach being Wisdom, or the Father, for that matter, for the whole Godhead/Elohimhead is wisdom. However, the Ruach haQodesh (Holy Spirit) has the office of imparting wisdom to believers as the Paraclete or Comforter - She was given to believers after Yah'shua's ascension for this purpose and others.

I agree with you that in headship:submission relationships Yah'shua is allegoricALLY 'feminine' with respect to the Father, just as we are to Him. However, as will become very plain in reading Yaacov's book, the Ruach is also literally Feminine just as the Son is literally Male - we must not confuse the literal with the allegorical.

Where, may I ask, do you get the idea that the seven Ruachim / Spirits before Yahweh are arch-malakim?

Baruch haShem YHWH!

I think the issue derives from grammatical gender. While yes, it is true that chokmah in Proverbs 8 is a feminine noun, in the same sense, chokmah is described as a kinsman (a masculine noun) in the same chapter (verse 30).

I think when people divorce grammatical gender from biological gender, then one can infer from the nature of the roles whether something is "feminine" or not. I believe the Holy Spirit is feminine from inference, not because of grammar.

(BTW, Lev, a while back, you said torah was MALE. Its actually grammatically feminine. ;) But I would agree its male in principle.)
