Wotsup, it is not that hard to understand. If a housemaid was employed as a helper, the Greek language requires that if reference was made to her as ''the helper'' the pronoun ''he'' would be used. If reference was made to the housemaid ''she'' would be used. If a walking stick was referred to as a ''helper'', ''he'' would be used. In referring the walking stick and not calling it a helper ''it'' would be used.
At John 14:16, 17, Rotherham renders Jesus’ words as follows: “I will request the Father, and Another Advocate [pa·raʹkle·tos] will he give unto you, that
he may be with you age-abidingly,—the Spirit [pneuʹma] of truth,—which the world cannot receive, because it beholdeth
it not nor getteth to know
it. But ye are getting to know
it; because with you
it abideth, and in you it is.” Notice that the pronoun is masculine in gender (“he”
when the antecedent is the masculine noun pa·raʹkle·tos but neuter (“it”
when the antecedent is the neuter noun pneuʹma.
Not until the fourth century C.E. did the teaching that the holy spirit was a person and part of the “Godhead” become official church dogma. Early church “fathers” did not so teach; Justin Martyr of the second century C.E. taught that the holy spirit was an ‘influence or mode of operation of the Deity’; Hippolytus likewise ascribed no personality to the holy spirit. The Scriptures themselves unite to show that God’s holy spirit is not a person but is God’s active force by which he accomplishes his purpose and executes his will.
God is spirit, Disallowedriel is spirit, Michael is spirit, all of them are holy.
(Hebrews 1:7) Also, he says about the angels: “He makes his angels spirits, and his ministers a flame of fire.”
None of these spirit persons are the holy spirit. ''It'' is an impersonal force used to accomplish God's will.
