1 | Cont radiction??? | Luke 2:11 | jonp | 184066 | ||
Hi In 1 Corinthians 2.11 we read 'for what person knows a man's thoughts except the spirit of man which is within him, so also no one comprehends the thoughts of God but the Spirit of God' and we could add 'no one comprehends the thoughts of YHWH like the Spirit of YHWH'. We can agree that the parallel is not exact. A man's spirit does not have a separate personality like the Spirit of God has in relation to Father and Son, but the point is clear, there is a unity of being that is so close that all the thoughts of one are known to the other. Thus the spirit of a man is the man, the Spirit of God is God, and The Spirit of YHWH is YHWH while carefully noting the distinction mentioned above. However if you cannot agree it would probably be best if we agree to differ unless you have different questions that arise in your mind. Best wishes Jonp. | ||||||

That is not the Holy Spirit - so the Bible disagrees. | ||||||

Hi If you are not prepared to see that the Holy Spirit and the Spirit of the Lord and the Spirit of God are one and the same then I will not be able to help you without writing a book on the subject. I would however point out that Paul refers to the Holy Spirit as the Spirit of God in Romans 8.9-17. You seem awfully keen to prove that the Bible disagrees. But if you wish to do that fairly then you have to read the Bible on its terms not on yours, and not lay down your own conditions. Best wishes Jonp. | ||||||

Hi JonP, I think it can be fairly basic to show this. Deut. 6:4 Hear, O Israel: The LORD our God is one LORD: YHWH elohim YHWH echad. YHWH God(plural) YHWH one(united) Eph 4:4-6 There is one body, and one Spirit, even as ye are called in one hope of your calling; One Lord, one faith, one baptism, One God and Father of all, who is above all, and through all, and in you all. If we believe the Holy Spirit to be God, well, there is only One God, YHWH. Colossians 1:16 (speaking of Jesus) For by him were all things created, Job 33:4 The Spirit of God hath made me, and the breath of the Almighty hath given me life. Psalm 148:5 Let them praise the name of the LORD: for he commanded, and they were created. 1 Corinthians 6:14 And God hath both raised up the Lord, and will also raise up us by his own power. John 2:19 Jesus answered and said unto them, Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up. 1 Peter 3:18 For Christ also hath once suffered for sins, the just for the unjust, that he might bring us to God, being put to death in the flesh, but made alive by the Spirit: There is much more to this, certainly, but the simple truth is that the Holy Spirit is God, and there is only one God, YHWH. Love in Christ, mark |
