Why Greek Word "pneuma" Is Not Always Referring to the Holy Spirit

[GodB4Us]

For mental disposition or vital principle, one may see John 6:63 & 2 Corinthians 3:6 for those examples for why it is definitely not referring to the Person of the Holy Spirit.

John 6:63 It is the spirit that quickeneth; the flesh profiteth nothing: the words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life.

2 Corinthians 3:6 Who also hath made us able ministers of the new testament; not of the letter, but of the spirit: for the letter killeth, but the spirit giveth life.

Matthew 5:35:3 Blessed [are] the poor in spirit: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. pneuma referring to the spirit of the man.

Matthew 26:41Watch and pray, that ye enter not into temptation: the spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak. pneuma referring to the spirit of the man

Matthew 27:50 Jesus, when he had cried again with a loud voice, yielded up the ghost. pneuma referring to the ghost of Jesus

The Greek word "pneumata" is plural of pneuma FYI If pneumata is used for plural of devils and unclean spirits, then pneuma can be applied to the devil in the singular as well as to an unclean spirit even though there is another Greek word for devil in the singular.

Matthew 8:16 When the even was come, they brought unto him many that were possessed with devils: and he cast out the spirits with his word, and healed all that were sick: pneumata referring to spirits that are devils

Matthew 10:1And when he had called unto him his twelve disciples, he gave them power against unclean spirits, to cast them out, and to heal all manner of sickness and all manner of disease. pneumata referring to unclean spirits

Hebrews 1:13 But to which of the angels said he at any time, Sit on my right hand, until I make thine enemies thy footstool?
14 Are they not all ministering spirits, sent forth to minister for them who shall be heirs of salvation? pneumata is referring to the angels in the previous verse.

Acts 23:9 And there arose a great cry: and the scribes that were of the Pharisees' part arose, and strove, saying, We find no evil in this man but if a spirit or an angel hath spoken to him, let us not fight against God. pneuma is referring to the same angel

These are just a few examples for why pneuma is not always referring to the Person of the Holy Ghost or the Holy Spirit if you prefer, although referring to the same Being. It all depends on how it is used in the verse.

Sorry but, The PARAKLETOS, does not need your help.

New American Standard Bible 2 Tim 2:14
Remind them of these things, and solemnly exhort them in the presence of God not to dispute about words, which is useless and leads to the ruin of the listeners.


1 Tim. 6
Teach and urge these things. 3If anyone teaches a different doctrine and does not agree with the sound words of our Lord Jesus Christ and the teaching that accords with godliness, 4he is puffed up with conceit and understands nothing. He has an unhealthy craving for controversy and for quarrels about words, which produce envy, dissension, slander, evil suspicions, 5and constant friction among people who are depraved in mind and deprived of the truth, imagining that godliness is a means of gain.

Acts 2:8
…7Astounded and amazed, they asked, “Are not all these men who are speaking Galileans? 8How is it then that each of us hears them in his own native language? 9Parthians, Medes, and Elamites; residents of Mesopotamia, Judea and Cappadocia, Pontus and Asia,…

If a person is not “Gifted” in multiple Languages or have not been taught in other Languages or is not a “Linguistic major” should remain Quiet in a field they Know nothing of! Like just by knowing a “LEXICON” definition Don’t mean Jack Daniels nothing, Most likely my dog understood , Greek more than the ones give definitions here on this channel. My dog understood more than one language! He Could not SPEAK IT, BUT HE SURE UNDERSTOOD IT. “Labrador Retriever”.

People act like they are “Language Professors” in Greek, and do not know "The GREEK alphabets” let alone The Greek Tense.
Give them a “Englishman Greek Concordance of The New Testament” or A "ENGLISHMEN HEBREW Concordance of The Old Testament” ANd THEY ARE COMPLETELY LOST! And will not know heads from tails! in something so simple.

That is why we must stay in our LANE! And perfect driving there. “GOD” is The Creator of LANGUAGES. HE speaks to us in our own language. in which we can understand. And most of the time we do not understand our Own LANGUAGE let alone another! Translation of The Text and The Original Text was written in "The COMMON MANS" language, meaning "A GHETTO Language" for GEHTTO People to understand!

Note:
John 1
45Philip found Nathanael and told him, “We have found the One Moses in the Law and also the Prophets wrote about--Jesus from Nazareth, the son of Joseph [according to public record].” 46Nathanael answered him, “Can anything good come out of Nazareth?” Philip replied, “Come and see.”

Never said that He did.

But since we have different Bible versions and they are not all saying the same thing, like for the example of capitalizing spirit in John 6:63 & 2 Corinthians 3:6 thus inferring the Holy Spirit when the KJV and a few modern Bible versions kept it as "spirit" with a small " s " because Jesus nor Paul was not referring to the Holy Spirit, readers need to be made aware so they can discern the truth with the Lord Jesus Christ through the Holy Spirit in them in the Bible version they are reading in English as translated from the Greek by different translators.

Otherwise, they read modern Bibles without realizing they need to rely on Him to discern with Him the actual truth in His words.

Maybe someday they will realize by the Holy Spirit in them that the KJV Bible is the one to rely on that keeps the meat of His words to discern good & evil by and find that other modern Bibles do not, but support false teachings instead.
