Bible Discussion Thread

Why are the "higher ups",trying so hard to change the Bible and get rid of the Holy Ghost? The King James was pretty much the first bible and it talks about the Holy Ghost but now, people are trying extremely hard to do away with the Holy Ghost. If,,,The Holy Ghost, and the Holy Spirit are the same thing, why is there such a need to do away with H. G. ? This was God inspired writing and even if they were the same, God said don't change the crossing of a T, or the dotting of an I. They seem to be making God and Jesus both look stupid, like they had no idea what they were doing. They put those words in there, it is not up to man to change what God wanted in the Bible. I thought God could see your thoughts even before YOU see them. There Is NO mentally disturbed God or Jesus. THEY WROTE BOTH HG and HS.They are not the same thing. It looks as though people are trying to change the Bible, even if it's one word at a time. God Forbid !!

Hello Carol,

As Chris explained Ghost and Spirit are the same thing. As in the KJV Bible for the word Ghost, used over 90 times, and the word Spirit, used over 280 times, it is the same Greek word. The word "pnuema" meaning a current or "breadth" of air or figuratively a "spirit".

Just so you know. God Bless.

Do you believe that man has been making this change? When did this happen, since both the Holy Ghost & Holy Spirit are mentioned throughout Scripture? Or, maybe you sense that the 'Spirit' is in wider use than 'Ghost'? The word "Ghost" means 'Spirit' as you know, so it should not be a problem when either Name is used. What does trouble me, is the wide use of 'Holy' & being associated with other things, e.g. Holy cow/smoke/mackerel/Moses, etc. I do get quite disturbed by this. Do you?
