Bible Question:
"The Holy spirit is Gods Holy Angels." Was this definition copied out of a Jehovah's Witness publication or was it made up on the spur of the moment.? . . . What is the Holy Spirit? For the record, the Holy Spirit is a "He" not an "it." He is a "who" not a "what." So the primary question would be better phrased, "Who is the Holy Spirit?" On the other hand, whatever the question, the answer is NOT "The Holy spirit is Gods Holy Angels." . . . The Holy Spirit "is the author of Scripture, the one who empowers Christ and believers, sovereignly bestows gifts, and can be insulted through apostasy . He sanctifies, inspires prophets, vindicates Christ, and brings blessing to believers . He provides assurance of salvation, testifies to who Jesus is, and produces orthodox Christology. He is the characteristic mark of Christians who pray in him. )Note: "who pray in *him*" not in "*them*". The Spirit creates the states in which John receives his visions, is the source for the messages to the seven churches, and one of the heavenly speakers John overhears. . . . A biblical theology of the Spirit is difficult to epitomize. He sovereignly Acts as he chooses! Most Christian traditions stress the data of certain portions of Scripture (most notably Acts or Paul) at the expense of others. . . . But an essential summary ought to include at least that *the Spirit is the transcendent, omnipresent spiritual and localizable presence of God's personality and power, living in and divinely empowering all of God's true people.* . . . Craig L. Blomberg" (pp. 347-348, Baker Theological Dictionary of the Bible, Baker Books, 1996. Available in print and also online at http://bible.crosswalk.com/Dictionaries/BakersEvangelicalDictionary/ --Look up: "Holy Spirit" in Baker's.) ------------------------------------------ . . . The Father is God. The Son is God. The Holy Spirit is God. . . . The Holy Spirit is a person -- not an it, not a what, not merely an influence, and certainly NOT angels -- but a PERSON. ------------------------------------------ . . . That was some clarification of the Holy Spirit. Only 3 "things" in heaven, the Father, the son and the angles? And maybe satan? My only question is: To support your opinion could you cite chapter and verse please? CHAPTER AND VERSE. . . . I see the answer is: NO, you cannot cite chapter and verse for your assertion that "There are only three things in heaven, the Father,the son and the angles, unless you count satan and his bunch than there's four" . . . What next? Are we going to be told we should be baptizing in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Angels? |
Bible Answer: Hab1:3 3 Why is it that you make me see what is hurtful, and you keep looking upon mere trouble? And [why] are despoiling and violence in front of me, and [why] does quarreling occur, and [why] is strife carried? Hab1:4 4 Therefore law grows numb, and justice never goes forth. Because the wicked one is surrounding the righteous one, for that reason justice (TRUTH)goes forth crooked. Rom 1:18-22 18For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who suppress the truth in unrighteousness, 19because what may be known of God is manifest in them, for God has shown it to them. 20For since the creation of the world His invisible attributes are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even His eternal power and Godhead, so that they are without excuse, 21because, although they knew God, they did not glorify Him as God, nor were thankful, but became futile in their thoughts, and their foolish hearts were darkened. 22Professing to be wise, they became fools, NKJV |
