    Whatever happened to the Holy Spirit?

    Why are you singling out only one person of the Trinity on whom we are dependent? We are dependent on the full Godhead for everything we are. Every breath I breathe is provided by the Triune God - not only the Holy Spirit. Oz

    theefaith, I'll only deal with 3 of the verses you mentioned: mk 16:16; jn 3:5; acts 2:38. Mk 16:16 is not in the earliest MSS (e.g. Sinaiticus & Vaticanus) so is not in the canon of Scripture. As for Jn 3:5, 'Jesus answered, “I tell you the solemn truth, unless a person is born of water and...
