Bible Question:
What do you mean "active force"? TF, the Holy Spirit is no mere "active force" like gravity or rushing water. The Bible clearly teaches the PERSONAGE of the Holy Spirit. Consider the following: Mat 1:18 Now the birth of Jesus Christ was on this wise: When his mother Mary had been betrothed to Joseph, before they came together she was found with child of the Holy Spirit. Mat 28:19 Go ye therefore, and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them into the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit: Mar 3:29 but whosoever shall blaspheme against the Holy Spirit hath never forgiveness, but is guilty of an eternal sin: Mar 13:11 And when they lead you to judgment, and deliver you up, be not anxious beforehand what ye shall speak: but whatsoever shall be given you in that hour, that speak ye; for it is not ye that speak, but the Holy Spirit. Luk 3:22 and the Holy Spirit descended in a bodily form, as a dove, upon him, and a voice came out of heaven, Thou art my beloved Son; in thee I am well pleased. Luk 12:12 for the Holy Spirit shall teach you in that very hour what ye ought to say. Joh 14:26 But the Comforter, even the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring to your remembrance all that I said unto you. Act 13:2 And as they ministered to the Lord, and fasted, the Holy Spirit said, Separate me Barnabas and Saul for the work whereunto I have called them. 2Co 13:14 The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the communion of the Holy Spirit, be with you all. Eph 4:30 And grieve not the Holy Spirit of God, in whom ye were sealed unto the day of redemption. Heb 3:7 Wherefore, even as the Holy Spirit saith, To-day if ye shall hear his voice, Heb 10:15 And the Holy Spirit also beareth witness to us; for after he hath said, Hope that sheds some light on the fact that the Holy Spirit is a HE and not an IT. In Christ by the Power of the Holy Spirit, Jibbs |
Bible Answer: What is God's Active Force?? God's Active Force is what you get when you inaccurately translate the bible from what God ment it to be to what the adversary wants it to be. You are right, the Holy Spirit is a He and not an it. The same doctrine that calls the Holy Spirit 'God's Active Force' gives more credit to the adversary being a person than the Holy Spirit.
