But I must say, in all humility and charity, that this is gnat-straining at its most preposterous. The Holy Spirit is the Holy Ghost is the Spirit of Truth is the Comforter. The fact that there are different terms only demonstrates the creativity and versatility of the One Who gave the words by inspiration.
What is a "ghost?" Supposedly, the returned spirit of one who has died.
That's precisely what the Holy Spirit is: the Spirit of Christ.
Forgive me if I sound abrupt, but this is a tempest in a teapot.

Aloha brother Vendetta Ride,
I am in total agreement with you brother!
This is someone trying to make a "
mountain" out of a "
molehill"!
I've been reading the King James Bible for over 50 years and it never occurred to me (No - not once), that there is a "
problem" with the different expressions. And why it "
bothers" Scott is beyond me!
Don't be "bashful" in Posting brother. I have read nearly all of your Posts and they are both respectful and appropriate, and I am sure that there are many other brethren on this Forum that appreciate both your comments and your presence here on this Forum as much as I do.
