Is the Holy spirit and Holy ghost the same?
yes
Why is the Holy Spirit called Holy Ghost?
Probably the main reason is from the use of "Holy Ghost" in the King James Version of the Bible, though the term predates that translation. In English of the KJV era (early 1600s), "ghost" was not as limited in its meaning as it is in modern English, but meant generally the soul or spirit of a person or thing. It could also mean a "spirit" in the modern sense of a non-physical entity. The parallel German word "Geist," retains that broader meaning; it can mean a "ghost" in the modern English sense, but consider its use in the expression "Zeitgeist" = "spirit of the times". We still have a few expressions that show this used to be true in English as well: to "give up the ghost" means to die, but it only makes sense if the "ghost" is something that the living possess in them. Also the phrase "ghost in the machine" (with all respects to R.E.M., it originated with Gilbert Ryle in 1949) is a philosophical term for the soul as distinct from the physical human body. John Wycliffe's translation of the New Testament (1382) used "Holy Ghost" almost exclusively, and the major English translations between Wycliffe and the KJV (Tyndale, Coverdale, Bishop's Bible, Geneva Bible) do the same. The expression "Holy Ghost" was used in the Church of England's Book of Common Prayer (1559), but "Holy Spirit" was more frequent. In the Book of Common Order (1556) used by the expatriate English and Scottish Calvinists in Geneva, "Holy Spirit" is more common in the prayers and orders of worship, but in the confession of faith "Holy Ghost" is employed almost exclusively. It may or may not be significant that "spirit" is derived from the Latin "spiritus," while "ghost" is from Anglo-Saxon roots. The KJV translators thus had two terms that were employed fairly interchangeably for a generation or two before them, but with an established tradition of "Ghost" in the English translations of the Bible. The KJV uses "Holy Ghost" 89 times, all in the New Testament, and "Holy Spirit" 7 times, 3 in the Old Testament and 4 in the New Testament. In each case the terms translate various forms of the same Greek phraseology, and for the 4 uses of "Holy Spirit" in the New Testament one can find multiple other instances where "Holy Ghost" was used for the same, or virtually the same, Greek phrase. Another reason the expression "Holy Ghost" has remained is its use in worship texts where changing to "Holy Spirit" would be jarring, such as the well-known Doxology, "Praise Him above, ye heavenly host / Praise Father, Son and Holy Ghost."
How many times does the word Holy Spirit appear in the KJV Bible?
Going by Blueletterbible.com, I come up with 7 instances of "Holy Spirit." With 89 instances, "Holy Ghost" is the more common expression. Three of the instances of "Holy Spirit" are in the Old Testament section of the KJV, so only 4 times does this expression occur in the New Testament. The KJV translators used the expression "Holy Ghost" only in the New Testament.Here are the 4 instances of "Holy Spirit" in the KJV New Testament:Lk. 11:13 ("If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children: how much more shall [your] heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to them that ask him?")Here it translates the Greek, "pneuma agion," literally "ghost/spirit holy" since adjectives follow nouns in Greek. Same expression used in Lk. 1:35, Lk. 2:25, Jn. 7:39, translated by KJV as "Holy Ghost."Eph. 1:13 ("In whom ye also [trusted], after that ye heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation: in whom also after that ye believed, ye were sealed with that holy Spirit of promise.")The Greek phrase is, "to pneumati tos epaggelias to agio." Literally something like "of the ghost/spirit of promise [of] holy." Similar expression "pneumati agio" used in Mk. 1:8, Mt. 3:11, Acts 1:5, translated "Holy Ghost" in KJV. Similar expression "to pneumati to agio" used in Mk. 12:36, translated Holy Ghost.Eph. 4:30 ("And grieve not the holy Spirit of God, whereby ye are sealed unto the day of redemption.")Greek is "to pneuma to agion." Literally, "of spirit his [of] holy." Same expression used in Mk. 3:29, Mk. 13:11, Lk. 3:22, Jn. 14:26, translated "Holy Ghost" by KJV.1 Thess. 4:8 ("He therefore that despiseth, despiseth not man, but God, who hath also given unto us his holy Spirit.") Same Greek phrase as in Eph. 4:30.All of these expressions are different uses of the words pneuma (ghost/spirit, also breath or wind depending on context) and hagios (holy).
What is the Holy Spirit?
The Holy Spirit is God in Spiritual form and is often represented by a dove. The Holy Spirit was sent to provide further understanding of God after Jesus ascended into Heaven. Jesus called the Holy Spirit the Counselor of Truth and also said that the Holy Spirit would convict the world of it's sin. On Pentecost the Holy Spirit appeared to the apostles and gave them the gift of tongues. With this the apostles could speak God's word and others of all languages would understand what they said.A: You didn't actually answer the question. It is 'something' that is represented by a dove, it provides understanding of God and it is a Counselor of Truth. BUT who or what is the Holy Spirit? God's Wife?I have yet to meet anyone that could give a conclusive answer to this question.A: OR are you saying Jesus is God? If that is the case why does Jesus when he supposedly took on the form of a human male and came to Earth talk of God as his Father? hmm?The ghost of Jesus.Answer #2:In Christianity, there is a general belief in the Trinity; 3 aspects of God, Father, Son (Jesus) and the Holy Spirit. This appeared at Pentecost as 'tongues of fire' descending on the assembled disciples. The idea seems similar to the 'Ruach Elohim' (Hebrew, 'Spirit of God), which has also been portrayed as tongues of fire. Star Trek fans will know the Vulcan salute; the shape the fingers make is exactly these tongues of fire, as Leonard Nimoy observed as a child in the synagogue. This aspect of God first appears in Genesis, when the 'Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters'. Interesting symbolism.Answer 3: The Holy Spirit is the feminine force of God. Ask Leonard Nimoy, referring to it as the Sheknina durring the Jewish ritual of transconfiguration of the Holy Spirit. The Vulcan salute we are so familiar with is half of the name of God which is used when joined with the other hand during this same ritual.Okay. How about Star Wars? Use the "force" Luke. The force is another representation of the Holy Spirit. When they say, "The force will be with you always", it is a reference to what Christ said, that he would be with us always.I have even starting saying Christ be with you, which is not really saying that won't be with you, he made you that promise that he would be. I am really telling the person to keep Christ with them in the heart and the head.Okay. How about the Native Americans? The "Great Spirit"? Sounds like "mother Earth" a reference to the spirit of all living things that are binded to Her. Capitalize letters when you are referring to a super-natural being. Lol.How about this one? Remember Christ when He mentioned you can say anything about Me or my Father? But, do not blasphemy the Holy Spirit? Well, you don't talk smack about your mother, do you? That's because she may easily become offended, after all, she gave birth to you. She might not even forgive you as easily and she won't forget I can tell you that much. So be careful what you say about the spirit, people have died trying to lie to her before. That's in the bible, too.
Are the Holy Spirit and Wisdom the same in the Bible?
A: No. Wisdom, or 'Lady Wisdom', in the Book of Proverbs, was a spirit/goddess who became popular among the Jews from the time of the Babylonian Exile until the end of the first century CE. Proverbs portrays her as a benign and powerful spirit, rather than as the earlier goddesses like Asherah, although verse 8:23-31 says that Wisdom was with God from the very beginning, from time everlasting. She is referenced extensively in the Book of Proverbs, some of the Apocrypha and briefly in the gospels. B. Lang (Wisdom and the Book of Proverbs: An Israelite Goddess Redefined) says that in pre-Exilic times she was the Hebrew goddess of wisdom. Probably in post-Exilic Judaism, it was no longer possible to worship her as a true goddess.The Hebrew word for 'spirit' is the same as for 'wind' or 'breath', so the various Old Testament references to the spirit of God do not necessarily mean either an emanation of God or a separate being like Wisdom. In the New Testament, the Holy Spirit seems to be a powerful and sentient being, but not in the same way as a god or goddess. In later Christian thought, the Holy Spirit becomes one person of the Holy Trinity, yet somehow never the equal of God the Father or Jesus. Christians pray to God the Father and to Jesus, but not to the Holy Spirit.ANOTHER ANSWER:The Bible speaks of two kinds of wisdom, knowledge and understanding. There's the "wisdom, knowledge and understanding of the world" and the "wisdom, knowledge and understanding of God.""FEAR OF THE LORD is the beginning of WISDOM. KNOWLEDGE of the Holy One results in UNDERSTANDING." (Prov.9:10 NLT New Living Translation)"...my message and my preaching were very plain. I did not use wise and persuasive speeches, but the Holy Spirit was Powerful among you. I did this so that you might Trust the POWER OF GOD rather than HUMAN WISDOM. Yet when I am among mature Christians, I do speak with Words of WISDOM, but not the kind of wisdom that belongs TO THIS WORLD, and not the kind that appeals to the rulers of this world, who are being brought to nothing. No, the WISDOM we speak of is THE SECRET WISDOM OF GOD, which was hidden in former times, though HE MADE IT FOR OUR BENEFIT before the world began. But the rulers of this world have not UNDERSTOOD IT; if they had, they would never have crucified our Glorious LORD." (I Cor.2:4-8 NLT)The Holy Spirit of God is HIS POWER... not a "person" as false religion teaches, but the Bible doesn't support. The use of the masculine, "him," in John's 14th chapter description of the "Comforter" [Holy Spirit - in the King James Version of the Bible] is a matter of "grammatical gender agreement" required by the Greek romance language, and not a making of the Holy Spirit into a "person."Romans 8:16 proves this; an instance where "language gender agreement" isn't required: "The [Holy] Spirit ITSELF [not: HIMself] beareth witness with our spirit, that we are the Children of God..." (Rom.8:16 KJV).The Holy Spirit of God is THE POWER OF GOD that binds God and His church, and MAKES THEM ALL ONE! Which is way more than the alleged THREE that false religion teaches, to try to LIMIT GOD:"Neither pray I for these alone, but for them also which shall believe on Me through their word; that THEY ALL MAY BE ONE; as thou, Father, ART IN ME, and I IN THEE, that THEY ALSO MAY BE ONE IN US: that the world may believe that thou hast sent Me. And the Glory which thou gavest Me I HAVE GIVEN THEM; that THEY MAY BE ONE, EVEN AS WE ARE ONE: I in them, and thou in Me, that they may be made Perfect IN ONE..." (John 17:20-23 KJV).The Holy Spirit is indeed the "Spirit of Wisdom"... but it wields all the facets of God's Power... of which Wisdom is but one:"...I have filled him with the Spirit of God, in WISDOM, and in UNDERSTANDING, and in KNOWLEDGE, and in ALL MANNER OF WORKMANSHIP." (Ex.31:3 KJV)
On what new testament occasion were the holy spirit god the father and jesus all present at the same time?
At Jesus' baptism: the Holy Spirit descended in the form of a dove and the Father's voice was heard.

Jesus Christ is possessed by the holy spirit?
No way, Jesus and the Holy Spirit are just different forms of the same God. Trinity= Father+Son(Jesus)+ Holy Spirit. Jesus was not possessed by anyone or anything.
What does a holy ghost baptism mean?
The Holy Spirit or Holy Ghost, in Christian belief, is the third person of the Holy Trinity, the idea of one God in three divine persons, God the Father, God the Son (Jesus Christ) and God the Holy Spirit. In the New Testament of the Bible, Jesus refers to the Holy Spirit as "the Counselor . . . whom the Father will send in my name" (John 14:26).The theology of the Holy Spirit came about slowly in response to disputes concerning the relationship of Jesus to God the Father. In 325 CE the Council of Nicaea condemned the heresy of Arianism which taught that Jesus Christ was a creature, neither equal to, nor coeternal with God, the Father, Creator.In 381 CE the Council of Constantinople condemned the view that the Son created the Holy Spirit. The Council stated "I believe in the Holy Spirity, the Lord and the giver of Life, who proceeds from the Father. Together with the Father and the Son, he is adored and glorified." One other pronouncement delivered one other change, the 9th Century addition of filioque to the creed of Constantinople. That addition stated that the Holy Spirit proceeds from the Father and the Son became a source of discord between the Eastern Orthodox and Roman Catholic churches from that point forward.The Church considers the Holy Spirit to be the Sanctifier who leads and guides the Church and its members.
Can you list a Bible Verse that clearly states that The Father The Son and The Spirit form ONE as God?
You will find written in John 10 a comment from Jesus Christ John 10 30 I and my Father are one. Therefore if the holy spirit be of our Father and Jesus and our Father are one. There is a connection formed between our Father, his Spirit (the Holy Spirit) and Jesus. There are other documented connections of this same subject Isaiah 7:14 where Jesus is referred to by our Father as immanuel (aka El with us some interpret as God with us) John 1:1 is the most often quoted verse to make the connection between our Father, his Spirit and Jesus.

In Islam it is referred to in the Qur'an as an agent of divine action or communication.
Is Shakti and holy spirit the same thing?
