Bible Note: The Spirit is Considered Divine The Spirit is Called God Acts 5:3-4 (ESV) But Peter said, "Ananias, why has Satan filled your heart to lie to the Holy Spirit and to keep back for yourself part of the proceeds of the land? [4] While it remained unsold, did it not remain your own? And after it was sold, was it not at your disposal? Why is it that you have contrived this deed in your heart? You have not lied to men but to God." The Spirit is Called Lord 2 Cor. 3:17-18 (ESV) Now the Lord is the Spirit, and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom. [18] And we all, with unveiled face, beholding the glory of the Lord, are being transformed into the same image from one degree of glory to another. For this comes from the Lord who is the Spirit. The Spirit is Identified with Yahweh Numbers 24:2-4 (ESV) And Balaam lifted up his eyes and saw Israel camping tribe by tribe. And the Spirit of God came upon him, [3] and he took up his discourse and said, "The oracle of Balaam the son of Beor, the oracle of the man whose eye is opened, [4] the oracle of him who hears the words of God, who sees the vision of the Almighty, falling down with his eyes uncovered: Numbers 24:12-13 (ESV) And Balaam said to Balak, "Did I not tell your messengers whom you sent to me, [13] 'If Balak should give me his house full of silver and gold, I would not be able to go beyond the word of the Lord, to do either good or bad of my own will. What the Lord speaks, that will I speak'? The Spirit is Soken of as Divine Matthew 12:32 (ESV) And whoever speaks a word against the Son of Man will be forgiven, but whoever speaks against the Holy Spirit will not be forgiven, either in this age or in the age to come. Mark 3:29 (ESV) but whoever blasphemes against the Holy Spirit never has forgiveness, but is guilty of an eternal sin"— |
