That seems like a valid question to me.
The answer is that the Holy Spirit is both a Person as part of the Triune Godhead and also He is the creative Power of God.
The difficulty of understanding comes in part from the structure of God as a Triune being where each part is fully God and fully an individual. Additionally, the Holy Spirit points directly toward Jesus who points directly toward God, the Father.
Hope that helps.

I see nothing wrong with the question. The bible tells us that
the Holy Spirit is a comforter and a teacher. A spirit is the spirit
of a person, Not a person. In this case the Spirit of Christ.
Please read the 14th chapter of John in the new testament.
Its short. Hope that helps.

It looks like a proper respectful religious question to me. I believe the Holy Spirit is a Divine Nature. Part of the Trinity. Three Divine Natures in one Person.

I don't see anything that violates the community standards in that question, but most reported questions don't violate the standards anyway. The report feature is abused more often than it's properly used.
Trying to appeal is a waste of time. You'll just get an automatic reply email saying 'thanks for reporting abuse', and nothing will happen.

It is not a violation.
Who said it was?
I am sad to say that if 2 people report anything, Yahoo will remove it.
I had a question removed and received a violation notice for a question I asked:
"What is the problem?"
and added details about something I got hate mail for.
An atheist sent me hate mail because I said that atheism is NOT a religion. He wrote to me and told me I was stupid.
My message was that I did not ask a question. I DID! I asked, "What is the problem?"
The guy who sent me the hate mail got mad because I called him on it and posted his message publicly.

Holy Spirit is a person and the third person of the Trinity. His visibility is in Christ Jesus. The Three are One.

Some punk clicked on the report button...all it takes it 2 or more people who are considered by the system to be "good citizens" clicking on the report button for a question or answer to be deleted as a violation...

Maybe it was considered "Trolling" since you addressed it to "CHRISTIANS".
Just ask the question without directing it at a particular group and there is no violation.
It IS a good question and I would be happy to give an answer.

GOD (Jesus Christ) is a being with a Spirit. Thus He created man a being with a spirit.

It doesn't look like it should be in any violation, but good luck convincing the Yamsters that it is not.
