A search of the KJV of the phrase "spirit of the lord," comes up with 858 occurrences ... only 22 in the NT.
And "spirit of God" pulls 415 hits ... 49 of them in the NT
And the "holy Spirit" is mentioned 4 times in the OT.
So the Jews had some idea of the holy Spirit.
Harold, Harold, you may want to think twice before you use google as your bible teacher. Don't be so lazy. There are tons of good websites that will explain to you what the Jewish concept of the Spirit was back in the day. You may want to even speak to your local Jewish Rabbi, he will probably give you about the same interpretation as the Jews in Jesus' time. So why don't you run along now and do some actual research, and then maybe you can have something to contribute besides trying to be the Devil's advocate
