Paraclete

Paraclete comes from the Greek word meaning "one who consoles" or "one who intercedes on our behalf", which first appears in the Gospel of John (16:7). Christian theology afterwards identified Paraclete with the Holy Spirit.

The word appears in Greek New Testament manuscripts and using the English alphabet is rendered "parakletos", it appears only a few times.

Christ is quoted in the New Testament using this word; in John 14:26 the greek word parakletos is used as an alternative term for "Holy Spirit".

Yet in I John 2:1 "parakletos" is used again this time however in reference to Christ.

Paraclete or "Parakletos" is important to Christians , because it sheds much light on the nature of God and Christ and the Holy Spirit and brings into question the concept of the Trinity, often a source of great confusion.
