Bible Question: Is the Holy One referred to here Jesus or the Father? |
Bible Answer: It is the Spirit of Holiness, which is the Holy Spirit of Yahoshua (John 14:9,10; I Cor. 12:12,13; Romans 8:1-17 compared with John 4:21-24), that is drawing us unto Himself and into a single body of believers in Him. Study the words of Romans 8:9-11 as they relate to the words of Ephesians 4:1-6; if you do, you will see that it is Yahoshua who is YHVH, and that Spirit in Him the Spirit of Holiness (this is His Father "that is dwelling in Him"). I say this because: "God" is one Spirit, but, the passage of Romans 8 has in it a reference to the Holy Spirit as: a. "The Spirit of God", b. "The Spirit of Christ", c. "Christ in you", and d. "The Spirit (of Him) who raised 'Jesus' (it should be Yahoshua) from the dead". It is the one that dwells in Christ, that Power of Holiness and newness of life, by which Christ called to being that which was not as if it was (Genesis 1 and 2, specifically the verses of 1:26,27.) One being, two parts (a body and a spirit), and three ministries as a Creator, Saviour, and a Power unto Holiness and newness of life. Yahoshua is our Father, for it is by His Father (that Holy Spirit that is "dwelling in Him" - John 14:10) that He has created us all (Colossians 1:15-17). When a person tries to split Him into three persons, the confusion begins! I do not remember seeing any version or translation of the Bible refer to the Holy Spirit as "it", but the Spirit is not male or female! See? |
