Why The New Catholic Encyclopedia admits that Ghost is not person?

Question

The New Catholic Encyclopedia admits: “The majority of N[ew] T[estament] texts reveal God’s spirit as something, not someone; this is especially seen in the parallelism between the spirit and the power of God.” (1967, Vol. XIII, p. 575) It also reports: “The Apologists [Greek Christian writers of the second century] spoke too haltingly of the Spirit; with a measure of anticipation, one might say too impersonally.”—Vol. XIV, p. 296.

Answer 1

Because christians neither know nor understand Her. They are too obsessed with the holy bible and the evil god of the o.t.

Answer 2

Although the Church preaches that the holy spirit preaches the trinity, their reference sources admit that the holy spirit is NOT a person; it's is an energy or force. For instance:

The Catholic Encyclopedia: "Nowhere in the Old Testament do we find any clear indication of a Third Person."

Catholic theologian Edmond Fortman: "The Jews never regarded the spirit as a person; nor is there any solid evidence that any Old Testament writer held this view. . . . The Holy Spirit is usually presented in the Synoptics [Gospels] and in Acts as a divine force or power."

The New Catholic Encyclopedia: "The O[ld] T[estament] clearly does not envisage God's spirit as a person . . . God's spirit is simply God's power. If it is sometimes represented as being distinct from God, it is because the breath of Yahweh acts exteriorly." It also says: "The majority of N[ew] T[estament] texts reveal God's spirit as something, not someone; this is especially seen in the parallelism between the spirit and the power of God."—Italics ours.

A Catholic Dictionary: "On the whole, the New Testament, like the Old, speaks of the spirit as a divine energy or power."

Hence, neither the Jews nor the early Christians viewed the holy spirit as part of a Trinity. That teaching came centuries later. As A Catholic Dictionary notes: "The third Person was asserted at a Council of Alexandria in 362 . . . and finally by the Council of Constantinople of 381"—some three and a half centuries after holy spirit filled the disciples at Pentecost!

Answer 3

The doctrine of the Holy Trinity states there is one true God who is made up of three separate but equal persons, the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit.

God, as the Holy Trinity, has always existed.

We know the least about the Holy Spirit. Most of what we know is through His (or Her) actions. He is never at rest. Symbols of the Holy Spirit are a flame and a flying dove.

"No one comprehends the thoughts of God except the Spirit of God." (1 Cor 2:11)

Now God's Spirit, who reveals God, makes known to us Christ, his Word, his living Utterance, but the Spirit does not speak of himself.

The Spirit who "has spoken through the prophets" makes us hear the Father's Word, but we do not hear the Spirit himself.

We know him only in the movement by which he reveals the Word to us and disposes us to welcome him in faith.

The Spirit of truth who "unveils" Christ to us "will not speak on his own." (John 16:13)

Such properly divine self-effacement explains why "the world cannot receive [him], because it neither sees him nor knows him," while those who believe in Christ know the Spirit because he dwells with them. (John 14:17)

With love in Christ.

Answer 4

Terrorists are those who are able to follow the Qur'an, clearly and directly and without shame or excuse for their endeavor unlike many muslims who do not have the courage to admit the atrocities in Islam but have to resort to lame excuses for themselves and others to remain in the faith because they don’t have other religious options.

Terrorist teachings are prevalent throughout the qur’an and are a mandatory way of life for muslims.

Judge the following non-contextual q’uran for yourself.

ISLAMIC TERROR – (TRUE OR FALSE?).

Qur’an 8:60 “Infidels (non-muslims) should not think that they can get away from us. Prepare against them whatever arms and weaponry you can muster so that you may terrorize them.”
Bukhari:V4B52N260 “The Prophet said, ‘If a Muslim discards his religion, kill him!’”
Qur’an 5:51 “Believers, take not Jews and Christians for your friends.”
Bukhari [4:52:177]: Allah's Apostle said, "The Hour will not be established until you fight with the Jews, and the stone behind which a Jew will be hiding will say. "O Muslim! There is a Jew hiding behind me, so kill him!"

Bukhari, V1B4N234: "A group of people from the Oreyneh and Oqayelh tribes came to the prophet to embrace Islam, the prophet advised them to drink the urine of the camels. Later on when they killed the prophet's shepherd, the prophet seized them, gouged out their eyes, cut their hands and legs, and left them thirsty in the desert to die."

When a Muslim declares that Islam is a religion of peace, he/she is either ignorant of the Koran (Qur'an), or is deceitfully thinking of this "peace", as it extends only to those within the Muslim Community. The deceit is that they will not tell you exactly what they mean. According to the Qur'an: "Muhammad is the Apostle of Allah. (Yet muhammad himself could not be trusted as we shall see in the following). Those who follow him are merciful to one another, but ruthless to unbelievers" Sura 48:29. "Kill the Mushrikun (unbelievers) wherever you find them, and capture them and besiege them, and lie in wait for them in each and every ambush..." Sura 9:5. Also see Sura 9:29

APOSTATE (A Spokesman for the Devil - MUHAMMAD)

Ishaq:166 “‘You have recited to the people that which I did not bring to you from Allah, and you have said that which He did not say to you.' The Messenger (Muhammad) was grieved and feared Allah greatly. Bukhari, Vol 2, No. 167 "The sun eclipsed and the prophet jumped up terrified that it might be the Hour (of Judgement)"


SEX AND MORE SEX (SEXUAL PERVERSION BY ISLAM’S FOUNDER)

Sahih Bukhari Volume 5, Book 59 Number 459 - "I entered the Mosque, saw Abu, sat beside him and asked about sex. Abu Said said, 'We went out with Allah's Apostle and we received female slaves from among the captives. We desired women and we loved to do coitus interruptus.'"

Muhammad had sex with a BIOlogicially underaged girl of 9 years old when he was past 53 yrs old.

Sahih Bukhari Volume 7, Book 62, Number 64 -Narrated 'Aisha: that the Prophet married her when she was six years old and he had sex with her when she was just nine years old.


DEFILEMENT (Sex first before returning to husband)

Islam - Bukhari Volume 7, 63, Number 187:: A man divorced his wife thrice (by expressing his decision to divorce her thrice), then she married another man who also divorced her. The Prophet was asked if she could legally marry the first husband (or not). The Prophet replied, "No, she cannot marry the first husband unless the second husband has had sex with her, just as the first husband had done."

INCEST (Sex with own daughter-in-law - MUHAMMAD)

The following happened after Muhammad by chance saw his daughter-in-law getting dressed and half naked. Overcome by lusts for her, allah said the following (or so Muhammad claimed):

Q’uran 33:37 - Then when Zaid had dissolved (his marriage) with her, with the necessary (formality), We joined her in marriage to thee: in order that (in future) there may be no difficulty to the Believers in (the matter of) marriage with the wives of their sons.

What do you think? Will you accept a murderer, a liar, a pedophile and incestuously sex crazed man to be your religious leader? Yes, if you’re perversely filthy and crazy like Muhammad who is doomed for damnation. No, if you even have a tinge of humanity in you.
