1 | Removal of "the" from the Holy Spirit | NT general | race4thrls | 214838 | ||
Is it appropriate to remove "the" when saying the Holy Spirit? I've been told that it either isn't there or isn't clear in the Greek and that omitting "the" makes Him more personal. I've never heard this and am concerned for the person and those around the person. Unfortunately I don't know Greek and would appreciate any help. Thank you. |

2 | Removal of "the" from the Holy Spirit | NT general | Morant61 | 214839 | ||
Greetings Race4thrls! Greek sometimes uses the article with 'Holy Spirit' and sometimes doesn't. Matt. 12:32 uses the article: "Anyone who speaks a word against the Son of Man will be forgiven, but anyone who speaks against the Holy Spirit will not be forgiven, either in this age or in the age to come." I am not sure about the percentage of with or without the article, but I do not that both occur quite frequently. In general, I would say 'the Holy Spirit' makes more sense in English. Maybe Hank could give us some direction on that point? I hope this helps! Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |
