"She" used in that way as got noting to do with a woman at all when referring to an object as such.
Someone talking to me about my car and says how many miles to the gallon does she get, i say she can do 22 MPG. ? end of story as it has noting to do with blasphemy at all.
The way you are using 'she' here in not in question for objects like cars etc. But quite clearly the Holy Spirit is a 'person'...He is God, and He most certainly isn't an object like a car or boat. So since He is His own person, we must ask ourselves (in the query of what 'sex' a 'spirit' could be!) what the Bible references Him as...
Linguistically, it is clear that masculine theistic terminology dominates the Scriptures. Throughout both testaments, references to God use masculine pronouns. Specific names for God (e.g., Yahweh, Elohim, Adonai, Kurios, Theos, etc.) are all in the masculine gender. God is never given a feminine name, or referred to using feminine pronouns. The Holy Spirit is referred to in the masculine throughout the New Testament, although the word for "spirit" by itself (pneuma) is actually gender-neutral.
Actually, in terms of English usage, the masculine pronoun is always used in more ambiguous situations. "he" is used if a the sex of a person is unknown or unsure. "She" is only ever used if the person is definitely female.
In the end, whatever our theological explanation, the fact is that God used exclusively masculine terms to refer to Himself and almost exclusively masculine terminology even in metaphor. Through the Bible He taught us how to speak of Him, and it was in masculine relational terms. So, while the Holy Spirit is neither male nor female in His essence, He is properly referred to in the masculine by virtue of His relation to creation and biblical revelation. There is absolutely no biblical basis for viewing the Holy Spirit as the “female” member of the Trinity.
The Comforter is the Spirit of Jesus Christ and there was no Comforter until Jesus came but there was the Spirit before Christ but in this the Comforter we know as Jesus Christ him self bestowing his gifts and we know it's coming from him. as i said before the Spirit is unrestrained and Jesus did the will of the Spirit only and we can see Christ at work as Emmanuel.
But if we look at the passages in context, Jesus is not speaking of himself 'in the spirit'...He is definitely talking of something other...the 'Holy Spirit', whom we know to be the third member of the Trinity...His own person, and that Jesus will send 'Him' to us...and there are several passages that talk of the Spirit in masculine terms.
- 1. John 14:16-17-"And I will ask the Father, and He will give you another Helper, that He may be with you forever; [that is] the Spirit of the truth, whom the world cannot receive, because it does not behold Him or know Him, [but] you know Him because He abides with you, and will be in you."
- 2. John 14:26-"But the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in My name, He [Gr. that one] will teach you all things, and bring to your remembrance all that I said to you."
- 3. John 15:26-"When the Helper comes, whom I will send to you from the Father, [that is] the Spirit of truth, who proceeds from the Father, He will bear witness of Me."
- 4. John 16:7-8-"But I tell you the truth, it is to your advantage that I go away; for if I do not go away, the Helper shall not come to you; but if I go, I will send Him to you. And He, when He comes, will convict the world..."
- 5. John 16:13-15-"But when He, the Spirit of truth, comes, He will guide you into all the truth; for He will not speak on His own initiative, but whatever He hears, He will speak; and He will disclose to you what is to come. He shall glorify Me; for He shall take of Mine, and shall disclose [it] to you. All things that the Father has are Mine; therefore I said, that He takes of Mine, and will disclose [it] to you."
