HOLY SPIRIT OR HOLY GHOST

"HOLY SPIRIT" APPEARS ONLY SIX TIMES IN THE KJV OF THE BIBLE!

Psalm 51:3 -  Cast me not away from Thy presence; and take not Thy Holy Spirit from me.

Isaiah 63:10-11 - But they rebelled, and vexed His Holy Spirit:  therefore He was turned to be their enemy, and He fought against them.  Then He remembered the days of old, Moses, and his people, saying, Where is He that brought them up out of the sea with the shepherd of his flock?  Where is He that put His Holy Spirit within him?

Luke 11:13 - If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children:  how much more shall your heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to them that ask Him?

Ephesians 1:13 - In Whom ye also trusted, after that ye heard the Word of truth, the Gospel of your salvation:  in Whom also after that ye believed, ye were sealed with that Holy Spirit of promise....

Ephesians 4:30 - And grieve not the Holy Spirit of God, by Whom ye are sealed unto the day of redemption.

1 Thessalonians 4:8 - He therefore that despises, despises not man, but God, Who has also given unto us His Holy Spirit.

"HOLY GHOST" APPEARS 89 TIMES, ALL IN THE NEW TESTAMENT!
IRONY:  BOTH "SPIRIT" AND "GHOST" ARE FROM THE SAME WORD!

In Hebrew, the word is רוּחַ rûwachwhich means  "a current of air, i.e. a breath or a breeze."
In Greek, the word is πνεῦμα pneûma.   It is the word from which we get the disease pneumonia.  Perhaps the best example is Genesis 2:

Genesis 2:7 -  And the LORD God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul.

SO WHY DID THE TRANSLATORS USE TWO WORDS?  BEATS ME!

The most important thing we all need to know, is that because of sin, humans are spiritually dead:  but God has provided The Way (Jn. 14:6) for us to be forgiven of our sins, and to have eternal life with Him!

Ephesians 2:1-10 - And you has He quickened, who were dead in trespasses and sins; wherein in time past ye walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit that now works in the children of disobedience:  among whom also we all had our conversation in times past in the lusts of our flesh, fulfilling the desires of the flesh and of the mind; and were by nature the children of wrath, even as others.  But God, Who is rich in mercy, for His great love wherewith He loved us, even when we were dead in sins, has quickened us together with Christ (by grace ye are saved), and has raised us up together, and made us sit together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus:  that in the ages to come He might show the exceeding riches of His grace in His kindness toward us through Christ Jesus.  For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God:  not of works, lest any man should boast.  For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God had before ordained that we should walk in them.

IF YOU AGREE, GO TELL SOMEBODY!!!!!!!
