(NOTE: I wasn&#8217;t able to find a website with case sensitive searching capabilities for the NIV.)<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>&#8220;Holy Ghost&#8221; appears <strong>zero times<\/strong> in the NIV.<\/li>\n<li>&#8220;Holy Spirit&#8221; appears 96 times in the NIV.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Of all the Bibles commonly used today, only the KJB has the Holy Ghost. <em>(It should be noted that the earlier English Bibles also contained &#8220;Holy Ghost&#8221; &#8211; the Geneva Bible &#8211; 1560, the Tyndale Bible &#8211; 1526, and the Wycliff Bible &#8211; 1382.)\u00a0<\/em>Why then, we must ask, do people who use the King James Bible change this one word from Ghost to Spirit?
