How would the Father and the Holy Ghost send the Son, if there is no 'conversing' going on in Isaiah?...6) The Father and the Son converse with each other, but why don't they converse with the Holy Spirit?
Isa_48:16 Come ye near unto me, hear ye this; I have not spoken in secret from the beginning; from the time that it was, there am I: and now the Lord GOD, and his Spirit, hath sent me.
How would the Father and the Son send the Holy Ghost to the earth if there was no 'conversing' going on?
Joh. 14:26 But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you.
Joh. 15:26 But when the Comforter is come, whom I will send unto you from the Father, even the Spirit of truth, which proceedeth from the Father, he shall testify of me:
The Holy Ghost even led the Son into the wilderness:
Mat. 4:1 Then was Jesus led up of the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted of the devil.
The Holy Ghost speaks and converses, and even pleads with us:
1 Tim. 4:1 Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils;
Act_8:29 Then the Spirit said unto Philip, Go near, and join thyself to this chariot.
Act_10:19 While Peter thought on the vision, the Spirit said unto him, Behold, three men seek thee.
And again:
Act. 28:25 And when they agreed not among themselves, they departed, after that Paul had spoken one word, Well spake the Holy Ghost by Esaias the prophet unto our fathers,
Act. 28:26 Saying, Go unto this people, and say, Hearing ye shall hear, and shall not understand; and seeing ye shall see, and not perceive:
Act. 28:27 For the heart of this people is waxed gross, and their ears are dull of hearing, and their eyes have they closed; lest they should see with their eyes, and hear with their ears, and understand with their heart, and should be converted, and I should heal them.
Compare:
Isa. 6:8 Also I heard the voice of the Lord, saying, Whom shall I send, and who will go for us? Then said I, Here am I; send me.
Isa. 6:9 And he said, Go, and tell this people, Hear ye indeed, but understand not; and see ye indeed, but perceive not.
Isa. 6:10 Make the heart of this people fat, and make their ears heavy, and shut their eyes; lest they see with their eyes, and hear with their ears, and understand with their heart, and convert, and be healed.
The Holy Ghost is generally the witness, but is not always silent, which is why you have record of the events that took place in Heaven, in the hearts of men, and on earth, in the mind of Lucifer, etc. Who do you think is telling you these things in scripture? For the scripture is given by inspiration, and holy men of God spake as they were moved by the Holy Ghost.
The Holy Ghost was communicating to the Father Jesus' prayers also in the Garden and throughout, since Jesus is our example in prayer. The Holy Ghost does this in a mysterious way, since again, that the nature of the Holy Ghost is not revealed to us in scripture. It is a mystery.
That we cannot understand fully the Father, Son and Holy Ghost, does not negate their persons/beings. That we do not understand fully their reaons, methods, likewise.
I use a cell phone. I do not understand all of its workings, but I know it is real and exists. I do not negate what it does simply because I do not understand how it all does what it does.
I have relatives. I do not understand all their workings, but I know them as real persons/beigns. I do not negate their persons/beings simply because I do not fathom them as I fathom myself (which I cannot even fathom all of myself, but I exist, I am a person/being).
