Yes! The Holy Ghost is also known as The Holy Spirit, and is the third member of the trinity (as in: "The Father, the Son and the Holy Ghost) The Holy Spirit should never be spoken of lightly, or with disrespect. In Jesus' day, speaking such words would have been considered blasphemy, which would be considered an unpardonable sin, meaning in essence, that you would be doomed to eternal damnation, without a chance to repent. Today, it is still a dangerous thing to verbally speak out against the Holy Spirit. In this case, I believe it was done out of ignorance, and no one spoke it verbally. Nonetheless people should watch what they say on this forum. Not only is it offensive to Christians, but to God himself! Matthew 12:27 states:...." For by thy words thou shalt be justified, and by thy words thou shalt be condemned. ..........." This basically means: "Anything you say, can and will be used against you in a court of law". In this case--it will be God's court--on the day of judgement. So be careful, people!

I don't think it is but then I'm not a Christian. I grew up in Judiasm which encourages its members to question. Questioning brings understanding. Remember, that's how little kids learn is by asking and questioning - seeking answers.
Christianity in its fundamental versions, as well as most fundy religions or cults, doesn't like questions because it is interpreted as unbelieving.
That's just plain rubbish. Questioning is part of understanding.
Some cults will actually toss members for questioning. Makes me wonder how much scrutiny the doctrine can take if it can't be questioned to bring forth better understanding.
If it can't be questioned, maybe it is because the doctrine can't stand the light of day.

His question isn't about the Holy Spirit, but about the Holy Ghost; And if you don't know the difference between a Ghost and a Spirit is as the difference between Dead and Alive, or the difference between Holy Law and Holy Grace, or the difference between unforgiven and forgiven, then you need study to shew thyself approved unto God, is a Spirit (not a Ghost).
Blasphemy the Ghost is unpardonable, both in this world and the to come (as if the to come is Ghostly Law, rather than Merciful Grace... not on my watch). God hath forgiven you: Eph 4, so God cannot be a Holy Ghost. Rather it is stated God is a Spirit, notably the Spirit of grace, and the truth thereof (God cannot lie). Which is to allegory say Grace cannot law, which is to allegory say His Grace cannot die, which is to say God is not law law.
It's "allegory" in both "covenants": Gal 4, and "mystery" (noted over 20 times) to solve in time, since there is neither mystery nor time for it in eternity, the realm of the God of all grace.
So, his question is not disrepectful, but respectful to God, Who is not a Ghost; And boldly scrutinizing. I would there be more scrutiny, and less mutiny, in the body of Christ: the end of the law.
For the Holy Ghost is unforgiving, and real nasty when provoked even a little, as noted about the Exodus folk saved out of Egypt, who provoked Ghostly Law by asking for meat(grace), and got destroyed by Ghostly Law because of it.
The "grace" of our Lord Jesus Christ with you all. Amen.

Your question is biased. You've DECIDED it is disrespectful and you want us to tell you why. So, what if we thought it isn't? What if we didn't agree with you? I think that question is not disrespectful, because he doesn't call every religious person a religious nut. But yours is disrespectful, because you're assuming we think what you think. Don't be like the people you criticise, or you'll lose all authority to do so.

Questions are not disrespectful. For example if respectfully I ask you if you are an idiot; you can respectful say :"no".
If I ask who has ever seen a holy spirit asshole, I am not disrespectful cuz I don't know what the hell is a 'holy spirit'

I see religious nuts all around me but, they don't know they are nuts. I have psychic powers and try to make them realize they are nuts.Then they can cross over to rational thought and logical reasoning. Sounds like some hokey Bruce Willis movie?

Disrespectful is as disrespectful does.
You have to read through the curiosity in the question to realize he's not really trying to insult enthusiasts by using the word "nuts"...
...or maybe he is- hmmmmmm

People tend to be overly defensive when it comes to relegion. Its probably an example they pick up from the Bible's cryptic presentation of information, where you only know what you need to know and asking questions makes you a pagan...
