I've told you I don't understand Greek.

Odd, then, to denigrate others over what you yourself don't understand.

Now, will you answer me as far as what your God-Ghost was doing up Job's nose?

Sure, as RK noted, you're committing an anachronism and fundamentally confusing the Holy Spirit with the breath of life. If you disagree, you're more than free to provide an argument identifying the two as in fact the same thing.

As you're well aware, suggesting that I think '[my] God-Ghost' was up Job's nose, and then asking for an explanation is the wrong way to go about it. But that's what one might expect of another who's looking to argue rather than dialogue.

I have no idea what "Clergy Dogma" is.

Is that the same thing as Watchtower Dogma?

Oh no, you've found me out! Except I'm not part of the clergy at the moment, and I don't think they'd want me back either.

I feel like with this obsession over ghosts you have, that you might enjoy the band 'Ghost', who are about as theologically on point as the JWs are... just from the opposite direction.

It wasn't a mistranslation, but merely appropriate for the period it was written in (actually, the language was probably a bit outdated by then too). Language evolves.

A holy "GHOST"!

Even major churches are shying away from that label! Because it is a MISTRANSLATION!

Wait, are you confusing an explanation for why the word 'ghost' was used with the adoption of the word in the present day, despite the explanation making it clear that there are better translations given the change in language from then until now?

You're an odd little fellow. How does the song go, "if you have ghosts you have everything?" Clearly.

That's not correct. "Ghost" is not a mistranslation. If you don't understand the explanation, don't go on using your talking points.

Even more, try not laughing so much. It doesn't come across either as genuine or as respectable. If your arguments against the Trinity is nothing more than mockery, then you are giving your religion a bad name.

Most churchoids have no REAL love for God and Christ- and despise the Truth.
My favorite Prophet (aside from Christ) sure made fun of that~

1 Kings 18:27- About noontime Elijah began mocking them.�You�ll have to shout louder,�
he scoffed, "for surely he is God! Perhaps he is daydreaming, or is relieving himself ("or using the toilet" - CEV),
or maybe he is away on a trip, or is asleep and needs to be wakened!
28- So they shouted louder, and following their normal custom, they cut themselves with knives and swords until the blood gushed out.

[Antichrists in CHURCHianity turn a Loving God into 3 Sadistic Beings, teach Satan's Lie (that we never die),
ignoring nearly every truth the Bible teaches, even teaching Jesus lied and NEVER died ('it was just his BODY') then run around 'praising' Jesus!]

It is sad, comical- and sick, all at the same time! Tragilarious.
So, if they want to blaspheme God and Christ, as well as ridicule us for our efforts to obey the King, fine!
Mocking, too, has its place!
Jesus mocked the 'hellfire' dogma that the Pharisees were starting to embrace.
He often compared the Jewish clergy to painted tombstones- pretty on the outside with everything foul underneath.
He compared them to poisonous snakes, and said theirn father was the Devil- and so much MORE!

You will know the TRUTH!- Jesus Christ

No orthodox Christian supports any position that says “Jesus did not die”

Jesus was graveyard dead
Actually buried in one
And the Holy Spirit in concert with God the Father raised Jesus body from the dead
