How many spirits are created by G-d?

Question

:-)

As you might know that I have asked so many Questions of Christian belief, I hope you would be so kind to help me understand it all.


There's Holy spirit/Holy ghost, Evil spirit, Spirit of life, Spirit of G-d, etc.


Would you advise me how many spirit that G-d has created and what are they? Do human, animal, plant and demon have spirit?

Is there any connection with Soul or should I ask this in different post. Thanks.

Answer 1

As one of Jehovah's Witnesses, I do not believe in a SOUL or SPIRIT that exists apart from me. In the creation account, it says God breathed into Adam and he BECAME a living soul. Therefore, life=soul. They do not exist apart.
The Bible also teaches that "the soul that is sinning, it itself will die." Ezekiel 18:4
JW's understand Holy Spirit is God's active force (sort of like the electricity that powers a tool). God can give that power or "Helper" to anyone he wants.

The Spirit of the World, for instance, wouldn't be an angel or ghost but an ATTITUDE, just like the "Spirit of love, life, God."

Spirit of God could also be Holy spirit, depending on how it's used.

Evil Spirit's are demons (fallen angels) but could also be referencing an attitude or emotion. Again, you have to read the context.

Interesting question.

***Edit***
Your next question is a bit trickier to answer. The easy answer is: You can recognize the source of the message when examining the context. Is the message one in harmony with the Bible? Is it glorifying a person, tradition, practice or God only? That takes a lot of deep insight though and a thorough examination of the Scriptures.
I did some research and found a publication I'm not familiar with (I've never had to use it before). Some of it says:

"Other angels joined Satan in rebellion against God. These demon angels are enemies of people on earth. They are cruel and vicious. In the past, they made some people speechless and blind. (Matthew 9:32, 33; 12:22) Others they made sick or caused to act insane. (Matthew 17:15, 18; Mark 5:2-5) They even tormented children.—Luke 9:42.
23 Like Satan, these wicked spirits want to be worshiped. Instead of rejecting worship from humans—recognizing that worship belongs only to Jehovah—they crave it, they seek it, and they promote it. Through trickery, lies, and fear, Satan and the demons have made people worship them. Of course, not many people know that they worship Satan and his demons. Most people would be shocked to learn that their religion honors Satan. Yet, the Bible warns: “The things which the nations sacrifice they sacrifice to demons, and not to God.”—1 Corinthians 10:20.
24 One way Satan and his demons mislead people into worshiping them is by spreading wrong ideas about those who have died. Let us see what the Bible teaches about this."

Let me know if I can help any more.

Answer 2

I do not believe anyone can talk to spirits. I do believe that satan can communicate as a spirit. He can appear as an angel of light also. So, it isn't your dead grandma or ,brother, or sister, or grandpa you're hearing from. The Bible warns of this fortune telling and such. The Bible does tell of visions and more will have them in these last days. But these will be from the Lord and not satan. I'm talking from experience.--- You see I was into witchcraft some time ago and I was delivered. I know that the spirits weren't of loved ones, but straight from the devil to trick everyone. This is why I've been on here trying to reach people. I've been there and done that. I could tell you some hair raising stories that some of you WISH you could experience, Your atheisism, witchcraft, and such. I guess that's why I try so hard to get you to repent. I've been on both sides and I can tell you FROM EXPERIENCE that God is the winning side. You young people think you have it all together. You just don't know very much at all. Some of your questions are silly and I can tell that you don't know too much of all this junk. Take it from someone that has been in deep and got out by the grace of God and praying parents. if you could have been involved in and witnessed some of the evil I have, then you too would want to get away from it. If you ever do see it then I hope you are strong enough to endure. It is so scary, that I still have to keep praying when it comes to mind. It's your road and your choice. I pray YOU make the right decision.

Answer 3

Hmmm..... so many questions.

First, you believe that God is the Creator of everything, right?
So, there should be no question about what spirits he created. Everything means everything - seen and unseen.

Second, you should find out a little more about what you mean by spirit, soul, etc. Don't just focus on the English definitions. There are many cultures that have language that are much more sophisticated about describing these concepts. After all, the original Christian beliefs did not start as an English version - but it was translated from translations. If you believe God created everything, then you should look for answers in other cultures too and not be wary of the language they originally use. Some terms used are: atma, atman, jiva, ling hun.

Third, just think a little more and use your logic and intuition. Basically ask yourself this question: what happens when everything dies? What is it that goes to heaven or hell (whatever you wish to call in your belief system)? (shouldn't ask a question in an answer, eh? sorry!)

Answer 4

Holy Spirit, Holy Ghost and the Spirit of God are all the same thing --and ARE GOD.

There are evil spirits - no one knows how many. Demons are evil spirits.

Some people might say that animals and plants have spirits, but that is not in scripture.

Our soul and our spirit is the same thing.

Answer 5

Honestly, I don't think your question makes any sense. You seem to be trying to quanitify something that isn't really quanitifiable or known. You are also inventing definitions of "spirit" and are comparing completely different things. "Spirit" can mean many different things. I think you need to define what you mean by "spirit," and go from there.

Answer 6

To get that answer you would have to limit the entire expansion of the universe measure out every life form and they multiple it by the same number out there... In the end it would be a nearly limitless number.

Answer 7

The belief in spirts is the result of religious dogma and indoctrination. It is thr pathetic excuse of humans to blame for their excesses.

Answer 8

① The spirit of Good
② and the spirit of Evil.

Answer 9

ALL of them.

It's clear from your questions that your only goal is to badger Christians about their beliefs. You don't really want to learn about Christianity, you just want to thumb your nose at what Christians believe.

Grow up kid

Answer 10

he created them all even the ones in the heavens that we dont even know about. (( GODS spirit is his love))
