| | Personality of the Ruach HaKodesh (the Holy Spirit) |
 | | The latter is understandable if the Ruach HaKodesh, the Holy Spirit, is a power, but the language is inappropriate if, in fact, the Ruach HaKodesh is a mighty, omnipotent, and omniscient personage within the Godhead. |
 | | Although it is stated that the Ruach HaKodesh (i.e., the “Comforter”) would make his abode in the disciples, (John 14:16, 17), this does not necessarily imply the personality of the Ruach HaKodesh, since both the Father and the Son (in the same context) were also to make their abode in the disciples. |
 | | The personality of the Ruach HaKodesh is sometimes inferred from Luke 12:10 “And whosoever shall speak a word against the Son of man, it shall be forgiven him: but unto him that blasphemeth against the Ruach HaKodesh, the Holy Spirit it shall not be forgiven.” But, this passage proves too much. |
