Rh Will, as a quality of so-called mortal mind, is a wrong-doer; hence it should not be confounded with the term as applied to Mind, or one of God's qualities.

That which indicates the might of omnipotence, and the movements of God's spiritual government, encompassing all things; destruction; anger; mortal passions.

The Greek word for wind (pneuma) is used also for spirit; as in the passage in John's Gospel, the third chapter, where we read: “The wind [pneuma] bloweth where it listeth. . . . So is every one that is born of the Spirit [pneuma].” Here the original word is the same in both cases, yet has received different translations, — as in other passages in this same chapter, and elsewhere in the New Testament. This shows how our Master had constantly to employ words of material significance to unfold spiritual thoughts. In the record of Jesus' supposed death we read: “He bowed his head, and gave up the ghost;” but this word ghost is pneuma. It might be translated wind or air; and the phrase is equivalent to our common statement, “He breathed his last.” What Jesus gave up was indeed air, an etherealized form of matter; for never did he give up Spirit, or Soul.

Inspiration; understanding; error; fornication; temptation; passion.

A solar measurement of time; mortality; space for repentance.
