Subject: Where did the Holy Spirit go? |
Bible Note: Hi gracefull, If one speaks of the spirit of Jesus (man) and the Spirit of Christ (God), I believe that is inconsistent in capitalization. I could go with Spirit of Jesus (Man) and the Spirit of Christ (God). I would agree with you that He was not "divided". There was no inner and outer man like Asis spoke of for instance. But I would say that Jesus was God and Man rather than God and man as you wrote it. 1) When Jesus quoted from Psalm 22 on the cross, He applied the Psalm to Himself. In other words, He said, "My God, My God, why have You forsaken Me?" Psalm 22 in the Old Testament will have David saying "Why have You forsaken me?" 2) Similarly, Acts 2:27 will have David saying "Because Thou wilt not abandon my [sic] soul to Hades, Nor allow Thy Holy One to undergo decay." Then when the Scripture was applied to Christ and His resurrection the "my soul" became "He was neither abandoned to Hades, nor did His flesh suffer decay." David was speaking as a prophet for when he spoke of the Holy One he was not speaking of himself but rather of the Holy One, Jesus Christ who had died for their sins. See Acts 2:38. 3) The translation of "to Hades", NASB, instead of "in Hades" gives the suggestion that Hades was not going to be entered. (Just something I noticed tonight.) 4) Acts 2:23 says that this Man was delivered up to be nailed to the cross by the predetermined plan and forknowledge of God. Now we can know along with the house of Israel, verse 36, "know for certain that God has made Him both Lord and Christ--this Jesus whom you crucified." He and the Father are one. We should be full of gladness for His presence. 5) If you know me at all you will know that I will speak from upper or lower case pronouns and determining what or who is being spoken of. For instance, when we speak of the spirit being committed to the Father in Luke 23:46, this is not speaking of the third Person of the Trinity but rather of the spirit or breath of life itself. The breath expired, but the Spirit was not abandoned to Hades and His flesh did not undergo decay. From the heart, Ray |
