holy spirit

I have always wondered how we should understand the metaphorical role of the Holy Spirit in Immaculate Conception. My assumption has been that the Holy Sprit's role is symbolically masculine. Catholic teaching refers to the Holy Spirit as Mary's spouse because of her perpetual virginity and...

We certainly act as if it did. If I've heard it once, I've heard it a thousand times: ___________ doesn't save anyone!! I believe God and, specifically, the blood of Jesus alone saves sinners from everlasting destruction. Why do we argue with each other over something that is so plain? The...

When I was growing up in mid-20th century America, the ten commandments were the standard of morality for Christians. My Southern Baptist grandmother often asked me to mow her lawn (about an acre). But she would never allow me to do it on Sunday. Lately, I'm hearing more and more about a...

How can an educated person believe God created the world? How could a loving God send people to Hell? Didn't science disprove Christianity? Many Christians hear objections to Christianity and have a crisis of faith. Let's explore these questions now. End Times Crisis: Believe Science or the Bible?

The first resurrection is the raising of all believers. It corresponds with Jesus’ teaching of the “resurrection of the righteous.” With the Resurrection, the Lord begins to fulfill His promise to make all things new. Rapture 2020: the First Resurrection

Jews were required to sacrifice animals at the temple. Sometimes they didn’t have the required animal and had to buy one. Dealers made a living by selling them the animals they needed. Eventually these dealers began doing business inside the temple. They didn’t operate in the temple building...

The Feast of Trumpets starts on September 18, and points to the time of the Rapture. In this post, we explore some of the main prophetic points of this Holy Day. Are we approaching the time when the gates of heaven will be opened? Rapture 2020: The Feast of Trumpets

I have shared with a few that awhile back in prayer that God gave me a new name.....Sarah....I didn't get why that name at the moment but I searched and prayed about it....then it finally was revealed that Sarah was the mother of many nations as Abraham was the father....I learned that I will be...

There’s a doctrine going around called Cessationism which teaches dat spiritual gifts such as speaking in tongues, prophecy and healing have ceased since pentecost. This is completely bogous and asinine and unbiblical, even I speak in tongues sometimes and after I was born again I started seeing...

Please read the portion italicized and underlined in each version of John 16:13 below and explain what all those versions are saying about how the Holy Spirit will speak and not speak. John 16:13 Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth: for he shall not...

There comes a point in your walk where God will not progress you any further until you’ve become truly obedient and trust worthy. God is not gonna give us all the keys 2 his kingdom like Jesus Christ. Paul said in 1 corith 12:8 depart dis thorne from me!! And God said my grace is sufficient...

Now in terms of dealing with scripture, what are we supposed 2 do if we’re not sure about something? Are we then 2 use our own conjecture? Or are we 2 do what it says in Proverbs 3:5-6 “Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. In all thy ways...

According to the Bible, only those people who repent from sin and ask God for forgiveness will receive eternal life through the sacrifice of Jesus. In obedience to this standard Christian obligation, the church hierarchy routinely encourages its congregation to seek divine forgiveness for their...

I ask because not all churches do. I don’t know how other churches are run but in the C of E it is the Parochial Church Council (PCC) who makes the decisions concerning the running of the church and when necessary appointing new clergy. If there are a majority of traditional, nominal...

Sigh, the Holy Spirit. How glorious. But, this won't be only praise so I placed it here. The magic, the wonder, the feeling, the experiences of this Indwelling Spirit...oh my! My experiences have been ... well, hard to put into words at times. Sweeping, like a breeze that washes through me -...

In Acts 2:38; 39, Peter speaks of the gift of the Holy Spirit being for his present audience, their children those who are far-off, and as many as the Lord shall call. In Greek the gift of the Holy Spirit means the Holy Spirit is the gift. And we see at least two ways God provided the Holy...

I'm posting this in the bible Study for edification in the hope that it might help someone in their studies.. The apostle Paul wrote, “For whatsoever things were written aforetime were written for our learning, that we through patience and comfort of the scriptures might have hope”. I have...
