Who translated the Greek Bible into Latin and said there was no Holy Spirit in it?

The first recognized full translation of the Greek Bible to the Latin was finished in circa 400 AD by Jerome and called the 'editio quinta' (the current text of the Holy Scripture) which used the 'vulgar' or common language of the day. It did not contain the controversial 'Comma Johanneum' found in some Bibles for 1 John 5:7-8. This is thought to be a spurious addition in the hopes of the Church to find Scripture to support their newly developing 'trinity concept' of 3 persons in one God.All biblical writings from the Hebrew forward contain Scripture which describes the 'Holy Spirit' or Spirit of God who is holy as His power emanating from Him sustaining all that is. So whatever translation of these verses would all contain the translation of God's Spirit in it - from Genesis 1 to Revelation 22.


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."


What are the rest of books in the bible apart the 66 books?

There are no other books. However, you can find books of Apocrypha which are not part of the 66. Some religions use them and even include them in their Bible. In addition, you can find even more remote books which most do not consider Holy.

Where in the Bible you can find the verse that says the spirit is always here but not always in you?

There isn't actually a Scripture in the Bible that says that. But only true Christians possess the Holy Spirit within them (I Corinthians 6:19) and he will continue to be in them and not leave. Unbelievers do not have the Holy Spirit in them. In the Old Testament the Holy Spirit would come upon certain people whom God wanted to use, but generally the Holy Spirit did not abide in any person.


Where in the bible do you find a discussion of the Holy Spirit?

I do not remember seeing any 'discussion' of the Holy Spirit, only many recordings of his presence and his working. But in 1 Corinthians 14 you may read of a lengthy discussion of one of the gifts of the Holy Spirit - speaking in tongues.


If Jesus was conceived by the Holy Spirit then why was he called Son of God and not Son of the Holy Spirit?

When we look at this question; If Jesus was conceived by the Holy Spirit, then why was He called the son of God and not Son of the Holy Spirit? we must first find out who and how the 3 characters in this question were and are. In the Holy bible it talks about God the father, God the son (Jesus Christ) , and God the Holy Spirit as one. As humans we may find this hard to get a complete idea on this, so let us not go into that. If the bible says this, then i Guess the question is asking about names, and not by actual characters. in answer to your question, if we refer to the times when Jesus was around, they hadn't really heard of the Holy Spirit, yet they had heard of God, and were more familiar with Him.

What is the Bible text about exorcism?

there are about 5-7 examples of people who were possessed or troubled by evil spirit, but nowhere in the Bible will you find a person with the Holy Spirit of God possessed or troubled by demons. People with the Holy Spirit encountered demons, but the demons were always overcome and driven away, not by the people themselves, since no human alone has that power, but by the Holy Spirit of God. Demons are powerless against the Holy Spirit mat 12:28 RSV= But if it is by the Spirit of God that I cast out demons, then the kingdom of God has come upon you. mark 9: 23 and Matt 17:14 by faith, by the power of the Holy Spiritmark 9:29 by praying God's people has power over demon, but in order to your relationship with God and your faith in Jesus must be very strong
