Hello, I am new here, but I look forward to asking you folks lots of
questions. I have a question that I wish someone could help me with, I have
looked up the word church and it is a feminine noun. Now my dilemma is I am
told that if you are speaking of the body it can become masculine, as to
take on the form of a masculine noun, and thereby referring to the church as
a "he" instead of a "she" or bride. I can word this over again if it is not
clear as to what I would like explained. I would like someone with a good
back ground to tell me either yes or no on this matter, either yes church is
always referred to as a feminine noun, but if you are talking about the body
of Christ then it suddenly becomes a masculine noun??? I'm looking for
something constant is the body of Christ referred to in a feminine or a
masculine sense, please help me here.
Thanks for your help...
