The member wrote the above which got me thinking that if this were the case, then it should be regarded as something which can be witnessed and understood as undeniable evidence that the biblical GOD actually exists.QUESTION What is God's spirit?
God's spirit in the bible is God's active force or God's power; the power by which God achieves things. The Hebrew word translated into the English "spirit" is ruach and stems from the word "wind". Thus it depicts an unseen or invisible force that can have visible effects.
The member claims;
1: It is an active force/power
2: It is able to achieve things
3: Like the wind, it is unseen other than how it affects the visible.
Given this is a biblical description of the biblical idea of GOD - primarily believed by Christians, and no doubt attached to some of the stories in the OT where this GOD is not directly seen in form but his power is witnessed, shouldn't the visible effects of this GOD be able to be witnessed through the examining of Christian, Jewish and Muslim behavior - at the very least?
We do have accounts of the 'Holy Ghost' at work in this evident manner, throughout the Abrahamic writ, where the GOD chooses to remain invisible rather than display himself in form.
In relation to Jesus, he mentions the HG as a 'comforter' who he would 'send' which implies that he would send the breath of the GOD (his Father) after he left the planet, in order to comfort those he left behind.
In Acts we get a story of how this 'Comforter' displayed GODs visible power by causing instant death and numbing fear. Hardly something which would comfort most people.
But the claim from the member is that this spirit is evidence of GOD - like the effect on visible nature is evidence of the wind.
Can anyone point out where this evidence of the holy ghost/spirit is in the world today, and if so, can this evidence be accepted as the evidence for GOD, people are demanding?
