    Your arguments are not from Scripture, but from history...or whatever, I'm not really sure. This morning in my personal devotions I...

    NO such thing exists though as "pure English"

    David Lamb replied to the thread Spirit or Ghost?.
    I don't refer to God as "what" or "which." As to the question of why some people and some bible translations do, my answer is the same...

    David Lamb replied to the thread Spirit or Ghost?.
    I agree we need to check with the Greek or Hebrew. I am not expert in those languages, but as far as I know, Greek and Hebrew don't use...

    I don't know whether it was OK back then. I assume that the translators thought it must be. But that is not how English is spoken now...

    But all the italicised words in our English translations are there for the same reason, that the translators decided to put them in...
