I didn’t say that.Coming from someone who said the Holy Spirit is only a name.
It it is interesting to read how some treat people as falsely as they do the Authorized Holy Bible.

Any proof of that general sense?
Any proof that its 7times and not 10times in the KJV?
What about NIV having "last days" 14times. Coincidence?
I do not know Hebrew, so I cannot tell.
How do you know that the KJV translated different original words, if you cant read Hebrew?
I think God is sovereign and dictates how many books end up as scripture. Maybe not though, mabe he wanted 72 but the church decided 66 was better lol.
Most people understand that the number 7 means completeness.
Give some examples that really stand out like translating pascha as Easter in the book of Acts as the KV translators did to mark the one and only occurence of pascha after it had been fulfilled.
I don't hold the KJV as inspired, pure, or perfect, so I am quite ambivalent about why it uses "Holy Spirit" only once. I suspect this has no real meaning and is an oversight of the KJV translators.
Incidentally, "Holy Spirit" appears once with that exact capitalization. It appears seven times overall. The Greek doesn't have different words behind "ghost" and "spirit" so I see no reason why the English should have such.
If 7 means completness, a complete Bible must be 77 books. Logically.
I do not know why are you trying to avoid conclusions of your own arguments...
Maybe by the wisdom of this world.
7 means completeness... it just is.
Then a complete Bible has 77 books. Or some number that can be divided by 7. Pattern.
Well, my pastor only uses a KJV, but he nor the church is KJVO. Some use an NIV, others use the ESV. One other member solely uses a KJV.
Now, I usually take my NASB to church with many. Many verses he reads read word-for-word with his KJV. Others are the same, except my NASB may say ’know’ where the KJV uses ‘knowest’, ‘knoweth’.
Holy Spirit (proper noun) is the name of a holy (adj.) spirit (improper noun), but holy spirit is not a name (proper noun) at all. Joseppi may not have stated this correctly, but he's not wrong nonetheless.
His point I believe, and mine also, is that one must be careful when entering key words in word search programs, and also careful when analyzing the results.
Maybe by the wisdom of this world.
7 means completeness... it just is.
There isn't a single verse in Scripture that states that "seven" or "7" means "completeness". While plausible and logical, it is still only an inference and as such should not be the basis for doctrinal assertions. It is just as plausible to consider 3, 4 and 12 as meaning "completeness" for each is used in that sense. It is far better to take the approach that 7 may be used to signify "completeness" in certain cases. I would suggest that anything that requires stretching to make it fit... doesn't fit. That includes any word counts in English.
I agree... and when Joseppi learns not to be a dogmatic, closed-minded, insulting jack-donkey about every little issue, then I might give him the benefit of the doubt.
I tried to check it in the NIV but I could find any tools that would let me search for pneuma in the NIV, it kept changing over to the KJV.
I'm not avoiding conclusions of my own arguments. The number 7 indicates completeness, that doesn't mean everything completed in the bible has the number 7 attached to it.
