Holy Spirit incarnated God as a man (Son Jesus). He the Father became incarnated as the Son.
Do you want to contest those two statements. It seems like we pretty well must hold to them to be true to Scripture. But all this is rather a GREAT MYSTERY, how the persons of the God-head relate to each other. Agreed?
GOD IS A SPIRIT (the Spirit of Love and Truth) and those who worship him must worship in spirit and in truth. (John 4:24 and 23.) Please notice how we are to refer to God - true worshippers worship THE FATHER ...
Perhaps the fact spirit and truth seem to be separate here means one should more emphasize that the spirit is THE SPIRIT OF LOVE AND LOVING, to be pursued in truth?
There are many spirits in the world, so God is not just any spirit, but the Spirit of True Love. I would suggest that the Holy Spirit is based in the image of all true love, male and female. Hence it makes sense to think of the bride of Christ, the church, as being female. (Brides are always female, unless one is big into perversion already.)
And further I would suggest that femaleness is to be found based in the actual femaleness of actual women.
(Just like the maleness of God incarnate - who the Holy Spirit preceedeth from- is found in the Son Jesus.)
So there is Christ on the one hand, the Son of the Father, and the workings OF GOD are the Holy Spirit, HIS LOVE directed toward the femaleness of "members" in the church. (Less "comely" things being given "more abundant honor." I. Cor 12)
I agree with much of what you are saying on the basis of scripture & type ( I totally agree with referring to God As Father )
So that settles the "type" so to speak .
Honestly, I feel what this all boils down is the lack of acknowledgement that Men & Women were created Both in the Image of God , one being the Head ( Male) but not Superior In the things of God , He Approves fully of Both. They Both carry the Holy Spirit ( Gods Spirit)
That being said both Christ living within & new creatures (making them Equal Heirs) they Both may have High callings & anointings in the Kingdom of God regardless of gender . Period . (SAVE shepherding)
Scripture proves that.
Some denominational viewpoints try to sweep that under the rug .
Go on The Word of God , over Mans or Woman's word .
When We Know who we are in Christ
We realize that " we" Men & Women are One in Christ .
