Where did you get this? [that The Holy Spirit is part of the Christian trinity]


1.. Matt. 28:19 and many xian baptism rituals
2. the Nicene creed and many other professions of faith used in many xian denominations every Sunday, including the RCC.
3. Xian hymns such as Holy Holy Holy
4. What Catholics say when they make the sign of the cross
and many more...
I realize not all Christians are Trinitarians, but for those who are, the third person of the trinity is the Holy Spirit (capital H capital S).

Folah: There is no xtian terminology! Holy Spirit has always been "the spirit of G-d" -that's what makes it holy !!

Of course the spirit of G-d is holy, but the term Holy Spirit (capital H capital S) has commonly become a xian term. Just go to wikipedia and google Holy Spirit and see what you get.

Quote:
Most Jews consider the Holy Spirit to be a thoroughly Christian concept. "The designation of the third person of the Trinity, the Holy Ghost, stems from a Hebrew figure of speech, the ruah ha-qodesh ("holy spirit" ) . In Jewish usage, however, this concept was never identified with a separate person, but with a Divine power which could fill men, as, for instance, the prophets." - The Universal Jewish Encyclopedia, 1943, 1969, see: "Trinity", pp. 308. See also: Shekhinah. In Genesis 1:2 there is the reference to a "wind of God" (ruah elohim) which hovers over the face of the waters at the moment of Creation; until the mid-1st millennium CE this was translated by Jews as "wind", as the context demands (cf. the comparable "wind from God" which blows over the waters in Genesis 8 ) , but later came to be translated as "spirit of God" under the influence of Christianity.

Folah: I can understand how this is the only way you can see it, but that's not what I said.
Thank you - your understanding that we can see it that way is progress over calling Uris remark an amazing interpretation'. Especially when you are telling Gideon that it is the way to SEE/KNOW Jesus is God.

Thus it still seems to me that you are saying one has to be a spirit-filled xian to understand the Tanach. either that, or perhaps you are saying that understanding the Tanach will make one a spirit-filled xian? (that might evoke a few more rolling icons:) )
