Re: Holy Ghost – Holy Spirit- holy Spirit – holy spirit

Aloha brother Scott,

Your quote:
Quote:
"The subject has a lot of ramifications."
I believe that you are making "a mountain out of a molehill" or possibly "straining at a gnat".

The Greek manuscripts (UNCIALS = All Capital Letters; MINUSCULES = Upper & Lower Case Letters) are of little or no "help" in determining why the King James Translators chose to capitalize or not to capitalize holy-Holy or spirit-Spirit.

I would not try to make some hard, fast, inflexible "rule" about their choices, because it is impossible (I checked out spirit-Spirit when I did my study on the Heart). Read the context of the verse (verses) in which you find the word, and let the "context" determine the meaning - NOT some prescribed inflexible "rule" that will only lead you into error.
