‘Too much study befuddles the mind!’… a well known phrase!!!
This is one good reason that Scientific communities are the greatest unbelievers in YHWH God. Your own expressing of dressing of the fact that you study ancient Anglo-Saxon, has distracted you from the real issue. It matters not to you that the Anglo-Saxons, like the Romans, were PAGANS.
You study with little to no idea about what is Spiritual and what is earthly. Pagans are earthly … You can see that every aspect of their world is the result of many SPECIFIC GODS. It is therefore clear that they then should believe in SPIRITS which were always malevolent, causing havoc among humanity, hauntings, etc.
Do you say they only use the word, ‘Ghost’, for ‘Non-Malevolent Spirits’? So I ask you to provide evidence of such…. And you haven’t.
Why? It should be the first thing you did - but you cannot… can you?
And thus, how can there be a ‘Holy’ malevolent Spirit?…, a Holy ‘Ghost’?? Which IS the topic question!!!
The answer, for Anglo-Saxon, belief, is that they incorporated THEIR PAGAN BELIEFS into that which they applied when they were taught Christianity.
As a matter of fact, look at his the trinity is viewed? YHWH God said that the Israelites must not have any other God but He. … Why did YHWH say that? Because Pagan tribes worshipped MULTIPLE GODS.
Is YHWH’s command not clear?
Yet, trinity advocates worshipping THREE GODS… yeah, and albeit, claiming that these THREE GODS ARE BUT ONE GOD…
That is a pure example of melding the Command of YHWH GOD into a Pagan belief of multiple Gods. It ‘appears to satisfies’ BOTH sides but in reality is an abomination of
- ‘Hear, O Israel, YHWH, Your God, is ONE [Only] God!’
But the topic is about the Spirit OF YHWH which advocates here seem to want to call ‘A melevolent Spirit’, a ‘GHOST’.
It is your deep ‘study’ that keeps you from understanding what you see, and dismissing what you have been shown!
