Subject: Removing Holy Spirit removes the church |
Bible Note: Greetings Doc! Excellent comments! I would also add that it is difficult to see how the all present Holy Spirit could be removed anyway! :-) The phrase could be understood as a reference to the church I suppose, but certainly not to the Holy Spirit in the sense of His no longer being present in the world.
