Quote:Christians agree.No, they don't uniformly agree. There are so many factions of Christianity that you can't make a blanket statement like "Christians agree" on much of anything.
Further, until you just said so, I've not known any Christians who think The Holy Spirit is female. Descriptions I've heard is that "The Holy Spirit" is supposed to be the part of God within those who have accepted Jesus.
