    Why do many Christians claim the Spirit of God is a Holy ‘Ghost’?

    Rinse and repeat…. Going around in circles that are off topic … arguing about the definitions of words …. Detracting from the point and purpose of the thread topic. It is clear that the ‘Ghost of God’ supporters are desperate and cannot provide any proof or evidence that there is such a thing...

    Why do many Christians claim the Spirit of God is a Holy ‘Ghost’?

    Which part of ‘Geist’ sad ‘Ghost’ in what I showed you such that you say that I should see what others have been showing me? I put it to you that the topic is about the holy scriptures and what it means that someone should call the Spirit of God, a ‘Ghost’. What has happened is that those who...

    Why do many Christians claim the Spirit of God is a Holy ‘Ghost’?

    No, MY question is not irrelevant. The question yoh asked was not to me. I asked you a separate question relating to the thread topic. You can still await the answer to your question from the poster you asked it to. You can’t say what the belief was because you know that you would have to say...

    Why do many Christians claim the Spirit of God is a Holy ‘Ghost’?

    And again, ‘Ruach’, and ‘Pneuma’, do not refer to a Ghost? So you just shot yourself in the foot, or in a worst place!

    Why do many Christians claim the Spirit of God is a Holy ‘Ghost’?

    What are you talking about… what nonsense are you on about….?? How many times have I presented the definition… ten, twenty… more? Where have you been? But, because it’s no problem to me to answer you:

    Why do many Christians claim the Spirit of God is a Holy ‘Ghost’?

    Exactly… thanks: ‘… In Christian writing in Old English it is used to render Latin spiritus (see spirit (n.)), a sense preserved in Holy Ghost. Sense of "disembodied spirit of a dead person," especially imagined as wandering among the living or haunting them, is attested from late 14c. and...

    Why do many Christians claim the Spirit of God is a Holy ‘Ghost’?

    What was the religious belief system of the Saxons?

    Why do many Christians claim the Spirit of God is a Holy ‘Ghost’?

    YES!!!! Because we are in a Scriptural forum and the question is about a Scriptural matter. So, Yes, I AM referring to the scriptural meaning.

    Why do many Christians claim the Spirit of God is a Holy ‘Ghost’?

    An apostle wrote, concerning the Greeks, who were well known ‘interlectuals’: ‘For it is written: “I will destroy the wisdom of the wise; the intelligence of the intelligent I will frustrate. Where is the wise person? Where is the teacher of the law? Where is the philosopher of this age? Has...

    And you know what ‘thinking’ does for some people!!!

    Why do many Christians claim the Spirit of God is a Holy ‘Ghost’?

    What has that for to do the The Spirit of God. Are you saying that God’s GHOST is a Soul? How, exactly, does the ‘SOUL’ (which means ‘Person’) relate to ‘Spirit of God’? Surely you know that the word ‘Ghost’ IN CONTEXT OF THE DEBATE is about ‘The DISEMBODIED SPIRIT of a dead SOUL’….. I think...

    Why do many Christians claim the Spirit of God is a Holy ‘Ghost’?

    Why are you talking about the emergence of modern language when the thread is about the holy Scriptures and the Spirit of God. Are we supposed to believe that modern language claims that God has a Ghost? If it comes to it, modern language says that ‘Ghost’ is ‘The disembodied Spirit of a dead...

    Why do many Christians claim the Spirit of God is a Holy ‘Ghost’?

    I fear you have no understanding of what I said to you. It therefore goes without saying that you don’t understand spiritual matters…. What you did was like when a skilled fighter is offended by a featherweight, and the fighter says, ‘I will let you off because I can see you don’t know my...

    Why do many Christians claim the Spirit of God is a Holy ‘Ghost’?

    Funny… that’s what I was saying about you. I’ve been doing scriptural study for over 50 years … What you mean …. Is that you are surprised I haven’t been converted to ‘believe the lie’ but that I believe what the Scriptures say that the MAJORITY will be misled - the majority who are...

    Wow….! You guys are sooooo…. worried!! Must have seen a ‘….. Ghost’…..

    Why do many Christians claim the Spirit of God is a Holy ‘Ghost’?

    Now you’re getting weird. Just answer the question: ‘What is the Ghost of God’. That’s what people like you do when you know not to actually answer the question you are asked… Does God have a Ghost? If you believe that ‘Spirit’ and ‘Ghost’ are interchangeable then you should have just...

    Why do many Christians claim the Spirit of God is a Holy ‘Ghost’?

    It would aid things easier and simpler if you just answer the questions that are set to the posters!!! ‘The Ghost of God’??? What is ‘The Ghost of God’ in your view - explain!!

    Why do many Christians claim the Spirit of God is a Holy ‘Ghost’?

    You’d language was as if you were talking to a first grader in Scriptural matters. I haven’t come across ‘vijeno’ before so I’ll let you off but I’m not naive in these matters. If you only debate for FUN then it’s not surprising your posts contain devil’s advocate content!! What’s that to do...

    Why do many Christians claim the Spirit of God is a Holy ‘Ghost’?

    A Ghost is the disembodied SPIRIT of a dead person. The Spirit that is loosened from the encasement of a body when that body falls into negative living - dead! In pagan mythology, that unencased Spirit can wander the world of the living usually in a haunting manner or bringing badness or...

    Why do many Christians claim the Spirit of God is a Holy ‘Ghost’?

    Yes they were! What makes you think they were not? Of course I know your trick here. I’m talking about those from whom the word ‘Ghost’ came from - the debate touched on medieval (is that ‘Medium Evil’?) since on poster stated that it came from the Anglo-Saxons…. Defo Pagans!!!
