What You Need To Know About The Holy Spirit Mentioned In The Gospels

Continued from Part 25 PART 3:  THE PROBLEM OF THE HOLY SPIRIT The impersonal nature of holy spirit The spirit of God is not a being with its own identity and separate consciences.  It is divisible and able to be distributed as God sees fit.  For example, God took of the spirit that was upon Moses and put it upon the seventy elders of Israel (Numbers 11:17-25). David prayed that God’s “holy spirit” not be removed from him (Psalms 51:13).  It was also measured out differently to different peopl

Continued from Part 26 Establishing paternity In Matthew’s version of the alleged conception of Jesus story (Matthew 1:18) it states that Mary “was found to be with child by holy spirit [with no definite article before “holy spirit”].” In Luke’s version of this story it says that the angel “said to her [Mary], ‘Holy spirit [with no definite article] will come upon you,’ and the power of the Most High will overshadow you” (1:35).  If holy spirit and power of the Most High are synonymous terms

Is This Phrase proof Enough That Jesus Is A God?

Is This Phrase proof Enough That Jesus Is A God?

Continued from Part 29 Can the Eusebian phraseology, “Go ye, and make disciples of all the nations in my name,” be considered as decisive proof that the clause “baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit” was lacking in the manuscripts available to Eusebius? Perhaps, in writing “in my name” Eusebius was simply abbreviating the longer clause.  What militates against this proposal is that Eusebius cites the shorter version so often that it is difficult to suppose th

How The Spirit Terms Is Used Improperly In The Gospels

How The Spirit Terms Is Used Improperly In The Gospels

Continued from Part 32 Paul writes that “The spirit intercedes for us” (Romans 8:26), but also identifies who this spirit is in the context of this passage:  “Christ Jesus . . . intercedes for us” (Romans 8:34).   He also writes:  “But whenever a man turns to the Lord, the veil is taken away.  Now the Lord is spirit, and where the spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom” (2 Corinthians 3:16-17).  The veil is a reference to Exodus 34:34, “But when Moses went in before the Lord to speak with Him,

Explanation of How The Holy Spirit Is A Part of The Trinity

Continued from Part 33 Leaving out reference to the holy sprit In the opening salutation of Paul’s letters to various churches (Romans through Thessalonians) he sends personal greetings from “God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.”  If “the Holy Spirit” were an integral and personal part of a triune deity, then why does He not send His personal greetings as well? Obviously, Paul never contemplated that there was such a person.  If there were a third person involved, would not the supposedl

Chapter 12 - Y-H-V-H IS INDIVISIBLE

Continued from Chapter 11i (Deuteronomy 6:4) The Nicene Creed It is a fundamental belief of most Christians that God consists of three beings in one: God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit. This belief, called the Trinity, is diametrically opposed to the Jewish belief in the absolute oneness of God. It is also the antithesis of the teaching of the Torah, the Prophets and the Writings concerning the oneness of God. The Christian interpretation of the nature of God as a triune be

Chapter 17 - PROVING THE EXISTENCE OF A QUATERNARY

Chapter 17 - PROVING THE EXISTENCE OF A QUATERNARY

Continued from Chapter 16 (1 Samuel 16:15) Proving the existence of a Quaternary Trinitarians manipulate the Scriptures to establish the triune doctrine. If they had a Quaternary to prove, this would be demonstrated just as easily from the biblical text. That this observation is not an exaggeration can be seen from the words ruach ’Elohim (“the spirit of God”), found in Genesis 1:2. According to trinitarianism, the phrase “the spirit of God” represents one distinct entity of the triune deity.

Chapter 21 - GOD’S SPIRIT

Chapter 21 - GOD’S SPIRIT

Continued from Chapter 20 (Isaiah 48:16) Trinitarians maintain that the terms ruach hak-kodesh, “holy spirit”; ruach tov, “good spirit”; and rucho, “His spirit,” are not abstract manifestations of God’s power but, on the contrary, refer to a separate entity within God’s essence that has a personality and consciousness of its own. Thus, they say, it can feel emotion as when the children of Israel “embittered His spirit” (Psalms 106:33), it can feel sorrow as when they “rebelled and grieved his
