Subject: holy spirit vs. holy ghost |
Bible Note: Greetings RGB! I think you missed my point my friend! ;-) The definite article does not indicate 'person', and the lack of the definite article does not indicate 'force'. The examples I provided are all instances where 'theos' is used without the article, yet the Person of the Father is clearly in view. In the same way, the phrase 'Holy Spirit' without the article does not indicate a force. The most that could be said is that when the 'Holy Spirit' is not the subject or the object of the sentence, the definite article does not usually appear to be used. But, this does not indicate that a 'force' is being indicated. The Greek definite article does not meake that kind of distinction. Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |
