It seems everyone had a laser to focus (ok, so that doesn't work as well as "axe to grind). Presbyterians are having loads of fun with the same concepts, although in a different context. For example, in Proverbs, Wisdom is treated as a "person" and can clearly be identified with the Holy Spirit -- and yet Wisdom is spoken of as female. Early manuscripts of John 14 have Jesus talk of sending the Holy Spirit -- and He uses the feminine pronoun. For some odd reason, that got changed by the church fathers.
