Thread Name: BS: The Father, The Son and The Holy Ghost
Subject: RE: BS: The Father, The Son and The Holy Ghost
Martin, all English translations of the OT that I've read state something of the nature that "the Spirit of God moved upon the waters" in Genesis 1:2. If the Spirit of God is not "the" Holy Spirit, I don't know what would be. I state this mainly because I've heard from Jewish scholars that a dual nature of God, i.e., person and spirit, was part of Judaism from its very beginning. I'd be interested in knowing your ideas regarding this from your reading of Hebrew scripture. Is there a mistranslation?
