ORIGINAL LETTER OF DR . HARWOGD ^ ON THE HOLY GHOST . To Mr . John Marsom . Ma ^ b J"N *
JDEAR blRj LA ST night I read through with great pleasure the little Tract f you put into my hands , which does great credit to your understanding and judicious knowledge of the scriptures . I have long been persuaded of the non-existence of that Being whom Churchmen have christened the Holy Ghost , To a person who reads the Bible with any care , it must appear very evident that the Holy Spirit only means the power and agency of the One supreme God . You have proved this great position to a demonstration . What has misled Christians in this country
particularly , is the term Holy Ghost , which ought , to have been translated Holy Spirit in every place . The phraseology $ keddingy pouring out ? proves that nothing animate , nothing personal was exhibited . I once read carefully the Fathers of the three first Centuries ^ and know that in the early ages of the Church the Holy Ghost is never mentioned as a Person . The Heathens in those primitive times reproached the Christians with believing in two Gods . This shews the state of things at that time among
the Christians . The very first time the word Trinity is mentioned , is about the beginning of the third Century . Even the Papists assert that the Trinity w # s never taught in the Church till the Council of Nice . Calvin did not like the word Trinity . It is a barbarous word ^ he says : the Popish God , unknown to Prophets and Apostles , So did Luther . With regard to the Holy Ghost , how seldom has his Divinity been contended for in the disputes that have variously arisen in the Church . la the controversy about the Trinity , which was agitated in old f On the Impersonality of the Holy Ghost .
