Bible Answer: Dear david's daughter: Please permit me to suggest that you go to the following web site, gotquestions.org, use their search engine and type in the words Holy Spirit. This will lead you to a score of good articles on the Holy Spirit. Show them to your teenaged nephew and let him read them. He will discover among other things that the Holy Spirit is a Person, the third member of the Triune God, referred to by the personal pronoun "He" and never by "It" -- and decidedly not something you "catch" like a cold or the measles! "Holy Spirit," as you probably already know, is modern English usage for "Holy Ghost," which reflects the Jacobean English of the King James Bible of 1611. --Hank |
