In this episode Pastor Sean Finnegan and Dale Tuggy discuss biblical spirit-talk: “the Holy Spirit,” “the Spirit of the LORD,” “God’s spirit,” “the Spirit of Christ,” etc. Sean distinguishes four types of spirit-talk in the Bible, giving many examples from both testaments.
They also discuss traditional catholic arguments for the Holy Spirit being a third divine person in addition to the Father and the Son, theologically motivated translation problems, and why, in his view, both the catholic and Jehovah’s Witness readings of spirit-texts are too simple.
