Names of God

[Augustine]

With the knowledge of the Holy Trinity, could any of the names used for God in lieu of the Tetragramon (Adonai, Elohim , etc) be attributed to the Third Person of the Holy Trinity, the Holy Spirit?

The Greek for Holy Spirit is:

G40
ἅγιος
hagios
hag’-ee-os
From ἅγος hagos (an awful thing) compare G53, [H2282]; sacred (physically pure, morally blameless or religious, ceremonially consecrated): - (most) holy (one, thing), saint.

G4151
πνεῦμα
pneuma
pnyoo’-mah
From G4154; a current of air, that is, breath (blast) or a breeze; by analogy or figuratively a spirit, that is, (human) the rational soul, (by implication) vital principle, mental disposition, etc., or (superhuman) an angel, daemon, or (divine) God, Christ’s spirit, the Holy spirit: - ghost, life, spirit (-ual, -ually), mind. Compare G5590.

The Greek for Holy Spirit is:

I was looking for His titles in the Old Testament, preferably in Hebrew.

 

[NotWorthy]

Wasn’t the “Shekina” the Glory Cloud of God, but what we understand to be the Holy Spirit.

How about “Ruah”, which was the breath of God hovering over the waters and what God breathed into Adam.

I was looking for His titles in the Old Testament, preferably in Hebrew.

From Vine’s:

Spirit; Breath

ruach (H7307), “breath; air; strength; wind; breeze; spirit; courage; temper; Spirit.” This noun has cognates in Ugaritic, Aramaic, and Arabic. The word occurs about 378 times and in all periods of biblical Hebrew.
Seventh, the Bible often speaks of God’s “Spirit,” the third person of the Trinity. This is the use of the word in its first biblical occurrence: “And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters” (Gen_1:2). Isa_63:10-11 and Psa_51:12 specifically speak of the “holy or free Spirit.”

It would be easier to demonstrate that the Holy Spirit shares the attributes of God from scripture,

[Augustine]

You’re all being very helpful, but I’m not looking for nouns, but for vocatives, i.e., words used when one speaks to God.

For instance, all the titles I mentioned at first, Elohim, Adonai, are indistinctively translated into English as Lord. So, I think that there are more Hebrew words used when speaking to the Lord. Among these words, would there be any that was used often when we can infer that the Second Person of the Trinity was being addressed?

Many thanks.

 

[Augustine]

Wow!

Here’s my dilemma: I refer to the First Person as Father, to the Second Person as Jesus, both are words commonly applied to persons with the second one a proper name. However, I’m puzzled to refer to the Third Person using a mere adjective and a noun, Holy Spirit.

In order to better relate to the Third Person as a person, in my narrowness of understanding, I’d like to use a personal noun. That’s why I don’t feel intimate to talk to the Third Person calling Him “Breath” or “Wind”, besides He’s not a “flower-child.”

Maybe because the Holy Spirit has no name.

Let me show you an example. Look at the story of Abraham, Isaac, and the un-named servant sent to find Isaac a wife.

The Fathers of the Church say that this is a “Type” or foreshadowing of the Trinity and the Church.

Abraham is a type for God, the Father.
Isaac, Abraham’s own beloved son, who he was willing to sacrifice, foreshadows Jesus, the Beloved Son, who was sacrificed.
The un-named servant, sent to retrieve a wife for the son, foreshadows the Holy Spirit.
And Isaac’s wife, Rebekah, foreshadows the Church, the bride of Christ.

The point of this rambling is that one of the reasons the servant pre-figures the Holy Spirit is because he has no name.

That’s a pretty interesting point!

Thanks.
