QUESTION: What is the difference between the words “Ghost” and
“Spirit”?
ANSWER: There is no scriptural difference between these two words. At the
time of the King James translation, the word “Ghost” was used in the same way
the word “Spirit” is used today. However, the word “Ghost” has been foolishly and
childishly narrowed in meaning through the years to represent an imaginary
disembodied being whose purpose it is to travel about frightening people.
