Caution: Although Crosswalk is usually a reliable source of
information, these particular definitions from Crosswalk have been found to
contain some theological errors which, if believed, could be fatal. Other lesser
theological errors are also know to exist in some of these definitions. The
correctness of still other definitions is uncertain. All in all, caution is
advised in the use of any of these Crosswalk definitions for this particular word. A
similar caution is also advised in the instances of some definitions for other
words, notably for the word "soul". See also the
comments below the last definition.

Comments:
The fact, that some corrections have been provided below for some definitions,
is not meant to suggest that corrections for any of the other definitions are
not needful. Corrections are needful, in some cases. Some of the cases are
nevertheless indeterminate. That is, some definitions contain allegations and/or
implications which are not now known to be either correct or incorrect. This
caution applies to some definitions for other words as well, notably for the
word "soul".
1]
By means of a rigorous analysis of This Good Riddle (which analysis is not
yet shown here), it was determined
that the word "soul" means "memory" in contrast to the word "spirit" which
means "volition". See also the comment for the word "ghost".
2] The essential testimony in paragraph 015-e shows
that the Son of Man, Jesus, is not co-equal with the Holy Ghost.
3] The essential testimony in paragraph 071-b shows
that the Holy Ghost is co-equal with the Most High God, that is, the God of
Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, because the Holy Ghost is an exact copy of the Most
High God.
