All who call the Holy Ghost a creature we pity, on the ground that, by this utterance, they are falling into the unpardonable sin of blasphemy against Him.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
The Holy Ghost is a personage of Spirit: a separate and distinct member of the Godhead.
False words are not only evil in themselves, but they infect the soul with evil.
It is the grace of God, that shows and condemns the sin that humbles us.
We are all culpable in the death of Christ. My sins, your sins put Him on that cross.
The tortures of present death disturb him not, but the recollection of his fall, fills him with a holy sorrow.
We glorify the Holy Ghost together with the Father and the Son, from the conviction that He is not separated from the Divine Nature; for that which is foreign by nature does not share in the same honors.
God will never direct us to be prideful, arrogant and unforgiving, immoral or slothful or full of fear. We step into these things because we are insensitive to the leadership of the Holy Spirit within us.

He that falls into sin is a man; that grieves at it, is a saint; that boasteth of it, is a devil.
