Biblical Understanding based on the Record of Scripture
The argument over the meaning of "Holy Spirit" as found in the Bible, has been ongoing for millennia. Generally, people take the position of their respective denomination, and run with it. They couldn't be wrong could they? Maybe it just doesn't matter to some. The fact that it is used in the Bible, should make us want to know, it is part of the word of God. If we don't know what "holy" means, and we don't know what "spirit" means, then it isn't likely we'll know what "holy spirit" means. We look at how the Bible actually uses those terms, so that we might begin to understand what the Bible says when we come across the reference to "holy spirit" in the scriptures.

Ephesians 2:1-3 NLT
Once you (we) were dead because of your (our) disobedience, and your (our) many sins.
You used to live in sin just like the rest of the world, obeying the devil-that commander of the unseen world. He is the spirit at work in the hearts of those who refuse to obey God.
All of us used to live that way, following the passionate desires and inclinations of our sinful nature. By our very nature we were subject to God's anger, just like everyone else.
