The subject of Hebrew verbs match in gender and number, if the gender is feminine then the verb is feminine. If there is a mismatch then it is typically considered a grammatical error. Sometimes gender is the only way to identify the subject of the verb.
For example:
He said - אמר הוא
She said - אמרה היא
he said she gave the book to her son - אמר היא נתנה את הספר אל בנה
In the last example we know that היא (she) is the subject of נתנה (gave) because the gender matches, the pronoun הוא is unneeded (and absent) because it is implied in the verb אמר (said).
I have never looked at their doctrine, but that would raise a RED flag.
Yes, I'm familiar with this. I was asking why you proposed that ruach can be either feminine or masculine, and why it was one of "few words" that somehow changed gender. That is a grammatical concept of which I'm not familiar.
In Genesis 1:2 (and in other places) 'Spirit' is used as the subject of a feminine verb. In the example I provided above and in other places, it is used as the subject of a masculine verb. Very few words in Hebrew can be used with both masculine and feminine verbs. In general, if the subject is a girl, a candle stick, a mare, etc... the verb will always be feminine. If the subject is a man, a tree, a house, etc... the verb will always be masculine. Most nouns simply do not change gender. Some are interesting because the gender isn't what would be expected i.e. a 'breast' is always masculine.

Pre-existence of the soul is a very big red flag. It sounds like Mormonism or Hinduism and not Christianity.
Prophecy 89 Secrets Of The RUACH ha KODESH (HOLY SPIRIT)
Do you believe thats a false ministry or of God?
It looks pretty bad, I would stay far away.
Right, and "fathers" is feminine plural and "mothers" is masculine plural. At any rate, I've never heard of ruach as a masculine word.
don't know, but I wouldn't put any effort to determine that.
Actually, "fathers' is irregular i.e. 'fathers' has the common feminine ending but is still masculine, but 'mothers,' while also irregular, has the proper feminine plural ending. Another common word with the feminine ending in both its singular and plural forms but remains masculine is 'night.' The ending usually determines the gender but there are lots of exceptions. Unlike verb forms, you cannot rely in the ending letters to determine gender, but they usually do give you a pretty good clue.
What I mean is, none of this really has any bearing on the gender of ruach. I've never heard anything about ruach being anything but feminine, and I've never heard of any word in any language that switches gender.
In other words, I'm standing by my statement that ruach is feminine. A glance at any lexicon will support the statement, and I'm not aware of any grammatical rule of "gender swapping" in any Hebrew grammar. I'm not saying you are certainly wrong; but that so far you've given no reason to think ruach can swap genders or is ever considered masculine.
There are a dozen examples, like the one I provided that demonstrate ruach being used as he subject of a masculine noun, and in Greek (which has a neuter form), it is neuter not feminine.
Again, ruach is an exception. Hebrew nouns almost always have very clearly defined gender, ruach does not.
I am not concerned with those issues, I look at the KJV Bible from a different perspective than you.
True but Greek isn't Hebrew.
I understand that you're saying that. I'm looking for some kind of actual support for the statement.
