Why did the translators translate the word "ruach" into "spirit" in one place and
"blast" or "wind" in others? THE MEANING OF "SPIRIT" AS IT WAS USED IN 1611
AND TODAY (AN IMMORTALITY NO SUBSTANCE SOMETHING IN A PERSON
IS NOT A THIRTY-FIRST COUSIN TO "WIND" OR "BREATH," YET THE
TRANSLATORS, AT WILL, TRANSLATED THE SAME WORD INTO TWO
THINGS THAT ARE WORLDS APART. IF THE SAME WORD HAD TWO
MEANINGS THAT WERE WORLDS APART, HOW COULD THE HEBREW
PEOPLE KNOW WHEN IT WAS ONE AND WHEN IT WAS THE OTHER? HOW
COULD THE TRANSLATORS KNOW? THEY COULD NOT. They had to put their
theology into the Bible even if they could not be consistent. How could anyone read the
Kings James Version and know that anger, cool, courage, air, mind, breath, wind, blast,
and spirit are the same thing? Most English reader today would not know that "wind" and
"spirit" are indiscriminately translated from the same word and almost without exception
today's reader would understand "spirit" to be an immortal soul, but would never
understand "wind" to be an immortal soul. Those who do not read Hebrew are misled by
such indiscriminately translations.
Summary: NEHPHESH, NSHAHMAH, AND RUACH ARE SOMETHING
THAT BOTH A PERSON AND AN ANIMAL HAVE IN COMMON AND ARE
SOMETHING THAT CAN AND DOES DIE. Both an animal and a man ARE a soul, a
living being of this earth. Neither animals nor a person HAS a soul, an immortal inter part
that cannot die and will live after the death of the animal or person it is in.
Different characteristics of a person, not different parts of a person that can live
without each other, but a person looked at from different points of view.
1. BODY: Flesh and blood
2. SOUL: A living being: the body + the breath of life
27
3. SPIRIT: The body of dust + the breath of life (spirit - ruach = a living soul)
4. MIND: If the intellectual part of a person is his mind, does the "soul" as it is used
in today's theology have its own mind? Does the soul have any thoughts that our
mind does not have? If not, according to today's theology, the only part of a
person that will be in Heaven will have no thoughts.
5. HEART: The most commonly used characteristic of a person. [Genesis 6:5;
Judges; 16:15, 17, 18, 20; Matthew 5:8; Luke 12:34; Romans 10:10; Hebrews
3:10]. The heart is used in the place of the mind for the thing that the mind does,
not the part of the body that pumps blood. [Matthew 13:15; 15:19; Mark 7:19;
Luke 6:45; 9:47; Acts 8:21; 8:37; 28:27; Romans 10:9; 10:10; 1 Corinthians 2:9;
7:37; Hebrews 3:10; 4:12; 1 John 3:20-21]. Has not the things said about the heart
been transferred to the soul by those who believe the soul is immortal?
