Quote (Cindy @ Sep. 03 2009,04:44)Why in the world are you all arguing about what the Spirit is.  Without the Spirit that is in  man we could not function.  We receive God's Holy Spirit at Baptism.  The Seven Spirits of God also go into the World, but does it specify where they go?  Wisdom is a Spirit, Jodi?  Wisdom to me is an essence of God,…[Read more]
