Question
When the word "God" is translated from Greek and Hebrew is the masculine connotation translated also? I am not sure if that question makes complete sense but I am wondering why God is almost always referred to as "He" (I am not referring to Jesus in this part) and if there is any real reason we should refer to God as "He" (according to the orignal Greek) when God in fact is a spirit and not a physical being. I also recognize that the English language does not have a neutral word for he or she... Thank you so much and I am appreciative that your group is offering this service. With hope, Alisa

As you must know, God uses diferents names trough all the Bible, and the HE, is always in capital letter.
the word HE is used in sujjest present tens.also it can be use to distinguis from femal or male,, HE>SHE....in Exodus, chapter 3:14...I AM WHO I AM. i DONT HAVE A gREEK BIBLE WITH ME. but I hope the this esplanation can help you.
