You specified Hebrew and Greek.



The basis of your point was how pronouns are gendered in the Hebrew and Greek of scripture. How other languages default is actually irrelevant.

People say the bibical meaning of priest is the Greek word. Isn't that how we should use words-like the term apostle?

"That does not compute."

What are you talking about? Nondenominational churches who follow the bible don't call their leaders priests.

Since the Protestant Reformation, non-sacramental denominations are more likely to use the term "elder" to refer to their pastors.

However, nowhere in the New Testament is a Christian pastor (besides Christ) titled "hiereus," the distinctive Greek word for "priest," and thus its rendering into English is seen as an etymological corruption of the Greek word "presbuteros," which means "elder," and which is the word for the lead category of Christian leaders in the New Testament church,[17] under the Lord Jesus Christ, the great High Priest (archiereus).

Is Satan female?

Matthew 22:30). Male and female are distinctions made in the physical realm. Angels are in the spiritual realm where such distinctions do not exist.

Even so, the Bible uses male pronouns when referring to Satan (as well as other spiritual beings), such as in "the devil and his angels" (Matthew 25:41). Female tenses are not used and so we should respect the designation that God has given.
