Holy Spirit ...female?

[visionary]

Greek uncials, the Byzantine copies, the eastern Syriac Peshitta, and the Old Latin corroborate on the Holy Spirit being a 'she'. Old Syriac that predates the Peshitta , the most ancient of the rare Old Syriac copies from the 2nd or 3rd century, written in the Palestinian Aramaic, the then common language of Israel, named the Siniatic Palimpsest, found by Mrs. Anes Lewis in the Covenant of St. Catherine in the Sinia, transcribed by Syriac Professor R.L. Bensly of Cambridge University in 1892 has the words of Yeshua in John 14:26 saying ...

But She -the Spirit - the Paraclete whom He-will-send to you- my Father - in my name - She will teach you every-thing; She will remind you of that which I have told you.

Romans 1:20 For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse.

In the Greek texts the word for Godhead is unique. It is θειότης,anglicized as theiotes. It is the feminine derivative of the masculine theos translated as God.

The pattern of “the things that were made” that the apostle Paul is referring to in the verse are given in Genesis:

Gen 1:26 And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth. 27 So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them.
