For tt's information, I am Christian.This is an interesting discussion.If we use the corrected translation that the Professor provided, haruah hakadosh, do things become any clearer?I suspect there are no direct references to that in TaNaKh, either.I'm not aware of any Christian teaching of the Spirit as creator, nor do I find any real support for that notion in the verses cited. This would not be tt's error, but the missionaries'. The most common teaching I'm aware of is that God created the universe through (or by, or by means of) Jesus, as per John 1.There's no shortage of references to "God's spirit," "the spirit of the Lord," or merely "the spirit" where the former is implied. Is it OK to regard this Spirit as an attribute or feature or emanation of God, or even as merely, literally God's "breath?" In that case, would not this Spirit be divine, without the Christians' miring innovation of holding it to be a "person?"
