Bible Question:
Did the Holy Spirit depart from Christ when He was made sin on our behalf? Did He suffer spiritual death (separation from God) on our behalf? Also, do you think the Holy Spirit always indwelt Jesus while He was on earth or did He enter Christ at His baptism? Thanks for your answers. In Christ, Bill Mc |
Bible Answer: OK Bill- I'm sure I'm going to get slack for this answer, but I think the Holy Spirit did leave and that He did suffer spiritual death. All through scripture, Jesus called God the Father, "Father". It was only when He was on the cross, just before the payment of our sins was made in full that He cried out and called the Father "My God, My God, Why have You forsaken Me?" I really don't know about the Holy Spirit indwelling Jesus throughout His life. It's possible - He had an extraordinary amount of wisdom about the scriptures even at 12, but His Father announced His Sonship at His baptism and the Spirit descended on Him in the form of a dove. Had it been there before and this was only a way to physically show John the baptist? I don't know. Debbie |
