Subject: Filled with Holy Spirit? |
Bible Note: Ray: From the last paragraph of your post #152071: "John 3:34: God is the Holy Spirit; Jesus is the Holy Spirit; God does not give the Holy Spirit to Jesus." Not one of these statements is orthodox; all are heterodox. They do not reflect Trinitarianism at all. ..... The doctrine of the Triunity (Trinity) is a distinctive and essential doctrine that there is one God in three Persons. The Father is God, the Son is God, and the Holy Spirit is God. BUT there is a distinction between the Persons so that the Father is not the Son, the Father is NOT THE HOLY SPIRIT, and the Son is NOT THE HOLY SPIRIT. Each is a Person; therefore, the Holy Spirit is not to be envisioned as a mere force or influence. ..... The statement, "God does not give the Holy Spirit to Jesus." contradicts Scripture, my friend. Pray tell me who it was that anointed Jesus in the wake of His baptism (Matt, 3:16; Mark 1:10). Who led Jesus into the wilderness to be tempted? (Matt. 4:1; Mark 1:12). And was not Isaiah descriptive of the coming Messiah when in 11:2 he wrote: "The Spirit of the Lord shall rest upon Him, the Spirit of wisdom and understanding, the Spirit of council and might, the Spirit of knowledge and of the fear of the Lord." ..... And, Ray, I await still your furnishing of sufficient proof that would enable you to write a scriptural "QED" to your "holy spirit" theory. --Hank |
