2 | A fresh mental and spiritual attitude? | Eph 4:23 | kalos | 150023 | ||
He is not an "active force" as JWs teach 'The Holy Spirit 'The Holy Spirit is the third person in the Trinity. He is fully God. He is eternal, omniscient, omnipresent, has a will, and can speak. He is alive. He is a person. He is not particularly visible in the Bible because His ministry is to bear witness of Jesus (John 5:26). 'Some cults like the Jehovah's Witnesses say that the Holy Spirit is nothing more than a force (Reasoning from the Scriptures, 1985, pp. 406-407). This is false. If the Holy Spirit were merely a force, then He could not speak (Acts 13:2); He could not be grieved (Eph. 4:30); and He would not have a will (1 Cor. 12:11). 'The truth is that the Holy Spirit is a person the same as the Father and the Son are within the Trinity.' ____________________ http://www.carm.org/doctrine/holyspirit.htm |

Hi, Ray... I believe I recall you counting triples, looking for sets of the members of the Trinity. Have you noticed that pattern in Ephesians? Paul consistently makes references to each of them. Do you notice that the speaking of being "Filled with the Spirit" is part of one such set. It would be illiogical to assume that Paul shifts his meaning from Spirit to spirit. (Even assuming there were capital letters at the time, which there were not.) I do rather think, sir, that your penchant punctilious punctuation is causing you to stray away from orthodoxy. Do you intend in your study to discover what others believers through the ages have never seen? In Him, Doc |
