Did you see my response that nobody is claiming that "God is sexually a male and does not procreate"?? And yet is still "a person"?? That a "person" is what is referenced when in Acts 15 they said "it seemed good to the Holy Spirit and to us to lay no further burden on you than this...". That...

God provided the Bible. "All scripture is given by inspiration from GOD" 2 Tim 3:16 "Holy men of old moved by the Holy Spirit - spoke from GOD" 2 Pet 1:21 "The Holy Spirit said..." Hebrews 3 -- speaking of the text of scripture. You indicate in your posts that you are very busy "editing" the...

Certainly we can all choose "to make stuff up" - using our own feelings and imagination as "the Word" of God. I for one - choose the Bible "instead"

Might be both. There is no such thing as overtly claiming to ignore God's Word and yet truly "seeking first His Kingdom" You knew that - right? John 17:17 "Sanctify them in Thy Truth - Thy WORD is truth"

We all have free will We can all read the Bible We can all read the Bible clearly and accurately. Acts 17:11 proves that even non-Christians can do it -- when testing a first-order NT Apostle. That is not the hard part. The hard part is choosing not to reject the clear and obvious text. The...

Gender neutral (since God does not have a sex and does not procreate) is not the same thing as "not a person". "When He the Spirit of Truth comes - HE will guide you into all truth" is the action of a person not necessarily of a male. HE will not speak on His own - but whatever HE hears HE will...

That's your problem. Your idea that Jesus gave us license to ignore any part of His Word, His teaching that we did not judge to fit our preferences -- is shot through with holes. You know that right?

On the contrary - logic and reason still exist. And we can all read. Hence the OP regarding - the Bible support for the personhood and Deity of the Holy Spirit. John 16 7 Nevertheless I tell you the truth; It is expedient for you that I go away: for if I go not away, the Comforter will not...

It changes the point so that you cannot argue "they are the same person" if some attribute that they both have is the same. Shared attribute does not mean "same person" -- never has... never will

A statement can be made about you and me as adults, as humans, as people from Earth. Those statements would apply "to both of us" - but that does not make us "the same person".

Paul is not talking about being wicked as a Christian in 1 Cor 3 -- rather he is talking about the idea that some well-meaning pastors/evangelists may in fact be teaching a doctrine that is not all true.

Nothing in 1 Cor 3 is dealing with bad character -- only doctrine that is "hay stubble straw" being removed from the church. There are works done outside of the Gospel and works done within it -- Dead works are those that are done outside of the Gospel - a Christless form

As we all know the Bible defines Deut 6:4 ONE GOD Matthew 28:19 - in THREE PERSONS This thread is about the Bible support for the personhood and Deity of the Holy Spirit. John 16 7 Nevertheless I tell you the truth; It is expedient for you that I go away: for if I go not away, the Comforter...

Nothing about "the person burning" in 1 Cor 3... nothing about purgatory... nothing about "sins burning" and nothing about "delayed temporal punishment for sin" in 1Cor 3... and nothing about a "spiritual bank of suffering" or "praying for the dead" or "asking for the merits and sufferings of...

1. The text never says that "a person" is burning. 2. The text says that the person's "work" is burning. 3. The "Master builders" ... the "workmen" are said to be "building the church with doctrine" Conclusion. The doctrine is burning - bad doctrine removed as chaff...

I think you have shot your argument in the foot with that post about Matthew 23. In Matthew 23 Jesus said that the Jewish leaders, the church magesterium of Christ's day "have seated themselves" in the "seat of Moses" and say "Therefore do what they tell you to do"... Then points out that they...

I have never questioned that.
