The mighty ghosts of our great Harries rose. — Shakespeare.
I thought that I had died in sleep/And was a blessed ghost.— Coleridge


Is the dictionary right by saying THE DISEMBODIED SPIRIT?

ravgach:

Haibe, why not first 'cure' yourself of this your inability to differentiate between "Spirit" and "spiritual". This will help you to be principled and become stable. All these 'floating' and 'chameleonic' contributions are becoming distractions I must confess.

Itsfacts:
you are a case and you should be in school. Do you know what an adjective and noun is?

an adjective is used to describe a noun. Disembodied = adjective
spirit = noun
the 2 are not one dictionary word they are 2 words standing on their own. One is describing the other. I tell you about spoilt car. Spoilt is an adjective and car is a noun.

this is jss1 stuff you should know them. To make sentence you need adjectives noun pronouns all of them have their function. Because you see full sentence in dictionary don't make it a dictionary word.

tell me can you play embodied spirit on scrabble? I can play handbag, sandbank, etc

ravgach:


You have labored so hard to 'prove' that ghosts mean "spirit of a deceased person". You also told us from the same dictionary that ghost mean "Phantom" and "illusion" which means "non-existent" "imaginary" "magic" "unreal" etc. Now tell me: DO YOU NOW BELIEVE GHOST EXIST? Can we assume that what Jesus told His disciples was: "See me, THE SPIRIT OF A DECEASED PERSON does not have flesh and bone as you see I have" IS THIS CORRECT? Can we also assume that Jesus is conversant and believes in this "non-existent", unreal" phenomenon?

haibe:

The problem with you is deception and being biased, infact arguing with you is like arguing with the devil, you turn and twist things to suit you.

don't you know the word spiritual being and spirit being is the same thing? Are you so weak in reasoning or what?

ravgach:
". You also told us from the same dictionary that ghost mean "Phantom" and "illusion" which means "non-existent" "imaginary" "magic" "unreal" etc.

haibe:

When you answer your own question, you can helo someone else.

Now go back to attend to yours, I can't count how many questions you have ignored in like manner

haibe:

and please don't quote me wrong, I never said ghost means an illusion, I said phantom means a ghost or an illusion.

Now go and face all your unanswered questions.

ravgach:

You must always be absent minded when you do these postings. I said you do not know the difference between "spirit" and "spiritual" and you just proved it!

ravgach:

You definitely 'speak' from both sides of your mouth.

haibe:

I am not talking of it being a single word, its obvious you are only trying to dodge the question.

1) Is the dictionary right referring to ghost as DISEMBODIED SPIRIT?

2) Will I be right to use NIGHT VIGIL in a sentence?

Please I am talking of word usage here and not whether they are different words.

Please in need a YES or NO answer, no beating around the farm

haibe:

You definitely are not different from a deceiver, quoting people wrongly.

You can show me where I said ghost means illusion.

and I will show you where I said phantom means ghost or an illusion.

Itsfacts:

i made it clear to you and you still don't understand. Read again especially where used spoilt car as an example.

if you cant learn or know how adjective pronouns and noun works you will have comprehension problem which you are showing

ravgach:

LET US REMIND YOU OF WHAT YOU SAID:

[color=#990000][/color]

haibe:

1) I attended a night vigil yesterday,
2) A ghost is the disembodied spirit of the deceased.

Are this 2 sentences wrong or right/which is wrong and which is right?

I can't help but laugh the way you are dodging the question

ravgach:

LET US REMIND YOU OF WHAT YOU SAID:

[color=#990000][/color]

Itsfacts:

English is making fun of you. There is nothing like night vigil.

night = noun
Vigil = noun
you cannot use a noun to qualify a noun.

night vigil is a name of an event churches do. For example your church is holding an event they name night morning.

haibe:

this is what I said, I quote:


The greek word translated ghost in that
verse is PHANTASMA, phantasma means
phantom in english and according to my
dictionary phantom means an illusion or a
ghost

Now show me how this means that a ghost is an illusion.

My brother repent, don't go to hell fire oo because of argument so you won't burn for "all eternity" lol

haibe:

this is what I said, I quote:

Now show me how this means that a ghost is an illusion.

You are being childish. The comments you made are there in 'black and white' and you are trying to twist it. Please be principled.


My brother repent, don't go to hell fire oo because of argument so you won't burn for "all eternity" lol

Itsfacts:

you know what is funny? I showed him that phantasma was not used there but pneuma was used which means spirit. He was shocked. Jesus said pneuma don't have flesh and bones.

haibe:

this is what I said, I quote:

Now show me how this means that a ghost is an illusion.

haibe:

You didn't still answer the question completely.

If you don't know what it is please just tell me, you are TOO PROUD to admit you are wrong.

Now go back and completely answer the question.

I know night vigil is wrong because it is tautological, vigil happens at night so the night there is unnecessary.

please completely answer the question.

haibe:

face your own wahala first before helping someone else cure his own.

by the way ravgach doesn't care about Greek words, the kjv is 100% accurate to him.

haibe:

Mr man there is difference between spirit and spirit being.

there is difference between spiritual and spiritual being.

Now have I mentioned that Jesus is a spiritual in heaven or that Jesus is a spiritual being in heaven?

Please when you don't understand something, there is no crime in asking questions

Itsfacts:

hahaha. I answered it. Again see the example of spoilt car that answered your yes or no question.
advice learn what adjectives pronoun noun and noun phrase is. It will help you.

haibe: @ravgach you are just a bloody liar and a deceiver.

Show me where I said a ghost means an illusion.

Ghost: The disembodied spirit; the soul or spirit of a deceased person; a spirit appearing after death; an apparition; a specter.

noun (plural illusions)(countable)
Anything that seems to be something that it is not.

We saw what looked like a tiger among the trees, but it was anillusion caused by the shadows of the branches.

For education sake.

ravgach:

You have not still shown you understand the difference between "Spirit" and "Spiritual". This is exactly why you are making all these 'cheap' mistakes here and there.

ravgach:


You are boxed into a corner. Your inconsistencies have exposed your inadequacies and lack of knowledge on this subject.

haibe:

What is the difference between a SPIRITUAL BEING and a SPIRIT BEING.

don't change it to mean spirit and spiritual, you are a deceiver, I said Jesus is a SPIRITUAL BEING in heaven not that jesus is SPIRITUAL.

ravgach:

So what is the difference between "Spirit" and "Spiritual"
