| Good question and one that is quite difficult to answer completely as there are some things that the human mind cannot quite comprehend. To answer this I am turning to an exerpt from a book by AW Tozer called "Knowledge of the Holy". It reads as follows: "A popular belief among Christians divides the work of God between the three Persons, giving a specific part to each, as, for instance, creation to the Father, redemption to the Son, and regeneration to the Holy Spirit. This is partly true but not wholly so, for God cannot so divide Himself that one Person works while another is inactive. In the Scriptures the three Persons are shown to act in hamonious unity in all the might works that are wrought throughout the universe. In the Holy Scriptures the work of creation is attributed to the Father (Gen. 1:1), to the Son (Col. 1:16), and to the Holy Spirit (Job 26:13 and Ps. 104:30). The incarnation is shown to have been accomplished by the three Persons in full accord (Luke 1:35), though only the Son became flesh to dwell among us. At Christ's baptism, the Son came up out of the water, the Spirit descended upon Him and the Father's voice spoke from Heaven (Matt. 3:16, 17). Probably the most beautiful description of the work of atonement is found in Hebrews 9:14, where it is stated that Christ, through the Eternal Spirit, offered Himself without spot to God; and there we behold the three Persons working together. The resurrection of Christ is likewise attributed variously to the Father (Acts2:32), to the Son (John 10:17, 18), and to the Holy Spirit (Rom. 1:4). The salvation of the individual man is shown by the apostle Peter to be the work of all three Persons of the Godhead (1Pe. 1:2), and the indwelling of the Christian man's soul is said to be by the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit (John 14:15-23). The doctine of the Trinity, as I have said before, is truth for the heart. The fact that it cannot be satisfactorily explained, instead of being against it, is in its favor. Such a truth had to be revealed; no one could have imagined it." I hope that helps a bit - it is but a couple paragraphs from a whole chapter discussing the Trinity. I would highly recommend the aforementioned book - it is relatively short but one increadible read! ISBN #: 0-06-068412-7 Phil |

| Hi Got it!!!, The book sounds like it is worth reading for sure. One question from the quote of the book: The capitalization of "Eternal Spirit" for Hebrews 9:14 is different from the NKJ and the NASB. I wonder if you would care to comment on the choices that the NASB Study Bible offers. Hebrews 9:14, NASB, "how much more will the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered Himself without blemish to God, cleanse our conscience from dead works to serve the living God?" The marginal note says, "Or, His eternal spirit". How much should I be considering the eternal spirit or the holy spirit for the Scriptures? Can there be a common ground for the person who does not believe in the Person of the Holy Spirit and the person who does not know whether there is a holy spirit? I would say that we should believe in both the Holy Spirit and the holy spirit. What are your thoughts? From the heart, Ray |

| I noticed tonight that "Got it" has not been on the forum since a couple of days after I asked for his thoughts. I wonder if anyone would like to answer for him. I am thinking of the connection of Heb 9:14, and the one question that he asked about the spirit of love. From the heart, Ray |

| Hi Phil, FytRobert in this thread is searching for the truth. I am searching the word of God more to know the Truth. Perhaps we can have our discussion at #93202. Just type those numbers in the top right corner. Or click on Got it!!! in this thread in order to read his question. From the heart, Ray |
