Unclean Spirit - pneuma akathartos

Definition: Pneuma Akathartos (pnyoo'-mah ak-ath'-ar-tos) Abstract Noun, Neuter - Unclean Spirit.

Diagram: By convention, the sign of an abstract noun is an equilateral triangle. The Sign of an unclean spirit is a dark equilateral triangle. Two verses (Mk 1:13, Mk 5:02) say that a "man" fits inside an "unclean spirit." The diagram above confirms it. Then Mark 5:13 says that "unclean spirits" enter into pigs. If pigs and men are the same size there seems to be a contradiction. Examine the verses and diagrams, the contradiction does not exist!
