No, the one Spirit who lives in you is the Holy Spirit. See 1 Cor 12:13: 'Just as a body, though one, has many parts, but all its many parts form one body, so it is with Christ. For we were all baptized by one Spirit so as to form one body—whether Jews or Gentiles, slave or free—and we were...

brakelite, Why don't you refer us to the Bible verses that teach what you say so we can discuss them in context? Oz

If Jesus is the Holy Spirit, isn't he promoting the unorthodox doctrine of 2 persons or 2 Gods?

101G, You took zero interest in the exegesis and exposition I provided of what you stated here. The Lord Jesus CANNOT be the Holy Spirit because John 14:16 describes the Holy Spirit as 'another Comforter'. He is NOT 'the same Comforter'. We know another parakletos is different from Jesus the...

However, are your writings on this forum 'a Good source on the Godhead'? Or should we go to your uninterpreted KJV?

101G, I do wish you would do your homework on the difference between LORD and Lord in the OT. It's not as simple as you try to make it. Please show me where the supreme name for God in the OT, YHWH, means God the Father. Take a read of, 'LORD and Lord: What’s the Difference?' (Wayne Jackson...

101G, You speak of the 'strong delusion' (#1444) and 'that trinity symbol is a part of the delusion' (#1459) that includes those of us who are orthodox Trinitarian in our beliefs. I'm seeing more in your posts that what you claim is not supported by Scripture and you're teaching falsehood. Take...

101G, If 'Jesus is the Holy Spirit', does that mean the Holy Spirit does not exist in the Godhead as a separate person? Oz

101, Are you continuing to promote this view that nobody needs to interpret Scripture 'but the word of God is not changing for anyone'. Which word of God? The one interpreted by you or somebody else? An unbiased view of Scripture doesn't exist, although you speak as though it does. Oz

101G, I can agree with you on this basis but your definition doesn't go far enough. How a person understands and relates to another person contributes to the maintenance of personhood. I agree with you that being an actual 'I', which I stated in my post, is important in determining personhood...

101G, Please tell me where in Scripture you get the info that the Holy Spirit had flesh? Oz

GodsGrace, This verse states (ESV): 'No one has ascended into heaven except he who descended from heaven, the Son of Man [footnote, 'Some manuscripts add who is in heaven'] 'he who descended from heaven' refers to the pre-existent Son of God and the birth of Jesus at the Incarnation. He was in...

GodsGrace The history of this 'Shield of the Trinity' and its development is not known but it turned up in the 13th century. See: 'Shield of the Trinity'. Oz

That is not what Scripture teaches. You have made the Father and the Son an 'I am', Jesus and the Spirit an 'I am' and the Spirit and the Father an 'I am'. There is a functional hierarchy in the Godhead and the Holy Spirit is not at the top of the triangle. Your view of the Trinity drives your...

Thanks, Jay, from a fellow Brissy boy. That's an excellent explanation. I went to a morning tea at a retirement village today and sat opposite a woman with an Irish accent. We discussed accents and how difficult it is to remove them. She has been in Aust 17 years and still has a strong accent...

101G, (continued) 4.3 God the Holy Spirit is a person Like the Father and the Son, the Holy Spirit had attributes of personhood. ‘He’ was not an impersonal ‘it’. John 14:26 demonstrates the Holy Spirit ‘reminds’ and teaches: ‘But the Advocate, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my...

101G, That is not what I find supported by Scripture: Personhood normally has the attributes of intellect, feeling, and will. All three of these characteristics are attributed to all three members of the Trinity in Scripture [which I’ll discuss below]. Essentially, personhood refers to an...

GodsGrace, I consider we have substantial examples of good works (works theology) in what God approves and disapproves in the final judgment for unbelievers. Matthew 25:34-46 (NLT: 34 “Then the King will say to those on his right, ‘Come, you who are blessed by my Father, inherit the Kingdom...

GodsGrace, Dr Google would have told you. In Urban Dictionary for Australia it means, 'Australia rumor: a rumor or piece of gossip, especially one that is not true ( slang ).' It's Aussie slang for an error, mistake, even lies. Oz
