tell me this, can you take the two verses to quoted to a Jehovah's Witness, and show, "God the Father, the Son of God and the Holy Spirit are one and the same in essence or substance being Yahweh."?

JW's are a different problem. To quote their Bible, 2 Corinthians 3:17, "Now Jehovah is the Spirit, and where the spirit of Jehovah is, there is freedom." Notice their use of "Spirit" and "spirit." First is getting a JW to see that the Son of Jehovah is also Jehovah, John 1:18 in Genesis 12:7. And Jesus is man's sole access to Jehovah, John 14:6. Etc.

ture, but a belief in a created Holy Spirit is impossible for any born-again, Bible-believing Christian. This is the point of the OP.

There were some of the "Orthodox" Church fathers who hesitated to call the Holy Spirit "God"; as there are some "Evengelicals" who say that John 1:1, can read "and the Word was god"!

Thanks. Interestingly, all three Persons of the Trinity are described as the authors of Scripture:
Matthew 1:22. 'So all this was done that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the Lord through the prophet......'
Hebrews 10:5. 'therefore when He [Christ] came into the world, He said.......'
Hebrews 10:15-17. 'But the Holy Spirit also witnesses to us; for after He had said before.......... then He adds, ........' [see also Hebrews 3:7 etc.]

The Holy Spirit Is Yahweh

There are some who teach the blasphemy, that the Holy Spirit is a created being, as did the heretic Origen (AD 185-253), who said,

“the Holy Spirit is more honourable than all others and ranks above all other things made by the Father through Jesus Christ” (Dr R Franks, The Doctrine of the Trinity, p. 94)

Present day cults like the Jehovah’s Witnesses, and others who claim to be Bible-believing “christians”, also believe in this hell-damning heresy.

The Holy Bible, which is the ONLY Inspired, Infallible, and Perfect Word of Almighty God, to the human race, is very clear on Its Teachings on the Holy Spirit, the He, like the Father and Jesus Christ, is also Yahweh, uncreated, eternal and self-existing.

The Name of God, יהוה, is best defined in the Hebrew lexicon by F Brown, S R Driver and C A Briggs, we read of "Yahweh, the proper name of the God of Israel...the one bringing into being, life-giver, giver of existence, creator, he who brings to pass...he who causes...the one who is: i.e. the absolute and unchangeable one, the existing, ever-living" (pages 217-218)

2 Samuel 23:2,

“The Spirit of the LORD spoke by me, And His word was on my tongue”.

Here we have the Hebrew “דִּבֶּר־בִּי”, “Speaks by me”, which is in the masculine, singular. Also, “וּמִלָּתוֹ”, “His word”, is masculine singular, both referring to “רוּח”, “the Spirit”. The subject here is “רוּח”, Who spoke the very Words through David, as though the Spirit Himself was the Speaker. The words in verse 3, also are of the Holy Spirit, “The God of Israel said, The Rock of Israel spoke to me: ‘He who rules over men must be just, Ruling in the fear of God”. In this passage, we have the “Personality” and Deity of the Holy Spirit, where He is called Yahweh and Elohim.

Isaiah 63:11-14,

“But they rebelled, and grieved His Holy Spirit: therefore He was turned to be their enemy, and Himself fought against them. Then He remembered the days of old, Moses and His people, saying , Where is he that brought them up out of the sea with the shepherds of his flock? where is He that put His Holy Spirit in the midst of them? that caused His glorious arm to go at the right hand of Moses? that divided the waters before them, to make Himself an everlasting Name? that led them through the depths, as a horse in the wilderness, so that they stumbled not? As the cattle that go down into the valley, the Spirit of Yahweh caused them to rest; so didst thou lead thy people, to make Thyself a Glorious Name.”

The words “caused them to rest”, in the Hebrew is, “תְּנִיחֶנּוּ”, which is the feminine, singular, and refers to, “רוּחַ” (the Spirit), literally, “she gave them rest”, which is a grammatical agreement of gender, and nothing to do with the Holy Spirit being a “female”.

Here we have God the Holy Spirit as the One Who led the Children of Israel out of Egypt, and in the wilderness for the 40 years.

The Children of Israel “rebelled and grieved” the Holy Spirit. Then the Holy Spirit is the One Who leads them, and parts the Red Sea for them to cross. It is the Holy Spirit Who also led them to enter their rest in the Promised Land. All of which was done by God the Father, and God the Son. How can anyone teach that the Holy Spirit is “impersonal”? The passage in Isaiah 63 shows beyond any doubt, that the Holy Spirit is Almighty God.

Job 33:4

“The Spirit of God has made me, and the breath of the Almighty gives me life.”

In the Hebrew we have “עָשָׂ֑תְנִי”, which is literally, “she has made me”. Not because the Holy Spirit is “female”, but, for grammatical agreement of gender, with, “רוּח” (Spirit), which is also feminine. It makes it clear, that here reference is not to “God”, but rather to “the Spirit”, Who is the Creator.

“made”, from the Hebrew verb, “עֲשׂוֹת”, which is used in Genesis 1

“in the beginning God created (בָּרָא) the heavens and the earth…God made (עֲשׂוֹת) the expanse” (Genesis 1:1, 7)

Note in this verse from Job, that “רוּח” (Spirit) is distinct from “נשׁמה” (breath), which is seen in Genesis 2:7, “And the LORD God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath (נשׁמה) of life; and man became a living soul”. Job 33:4, is a clear reference to Genesis 2:7, which shows that the Holy Spirit Himself is “the LORD God”.

“The Divine Spirit is that which formed me, and the breath of the Almighty that which teaches me.” (Lancelot Brenton, The Septuagint in Greek and English)

In Isaiah 51:13, we read, “And forget Yahweh your Maker, that has stretched forth the heavens, and laid the foundations of the earth”. Here “Maker”, in the Hebrew is, “עֹשֶׂ֗ךָ”, which is masculine singular. However, in 54:5, we read, “For your Maker is your husband; Yahweh of hosts is His Name”. Here, “Maker” is the Hebrew, “עֹשַׂיִךְ”, which is masculine, plural, “Makers”! And, in Ecclesiastes 12:1, where it reads, “Remember now your Creator in the days of your youth”, here also the Hebrew, “אֶת־בּוֹרְאֶיךָ”, is masculine, plural, literally, “your Creators”. Whereas, in Isaiah 40:28, and 43:15, we have, “בּרא”, which is singular. Clearly, the use of the plural means more than One Person. It is not used in the sense of “majesties”, as if the singular does not speak of the “Majesty” of the Great God of the Bible!

2 Corinthians 3:17-18

“ὁ δὲ κύριος τὸ πνεῦμα ἐστιν οὗ δὲ τὸ πνεῦμα κυρίου ἐλευθερία… καθαπερ απο κυριου πνευματος”, “However the Spirit is the Lord; and where the Spirit of the Lord, there liberty…even as from the Lord Spirit”

The use of the Greek article, “τὸ πνεῦμα”, is here used by retrospective reference, to refer “πνεῦμα”, back to what is said in verses 3-8. “ὁ δὲ κύριος τὸ πνεῦμα ἐστιν”, is to be understood of the Holy Spirit, and not Jesus Christ, and be translated as “The Spirit is the Lord”.

Interesting how verse 18 is translated in the New Testaments of the heretics.

“as by the Lord, the Spirit” (George Noyes, New Testament, The American Unitarian Society)

“as from the Lord, the Spirit” (B Wilson, Emphatic Diaglott, JW’s Publication)

“exactly as done by Jehovah [the] Spirit” (Kingdom Interlinear NT, JW’s Publication)

“exactly as it is done by Jehovah the Spirit” (New World Translation, 2013, JW’s Publication)

Here the Holy Spirit is called “The Lord”, which is the same as Yahweh.

Acts 5:3, 4, 9

“But Peter said, “Ananias, why has Satan filled your heart to lie to the Holy Spirit and to keep back for yourself part of the proceeds of the land? While it remained unsold, did it not remain your own? And after it was sold, was it not at your disposal? Why is it that you have contrived this deed in your heart? You have not lied to man but to God…But Peter said to her, “How is it that you have agreed together to test the Spirit of the Lord?…”

The Apostle Peter says to Anania, that he lied to “The Holy Spirit (το πνευμα το αγιον)”. And then says, in doing so, he actually lied “to the God (τω θεω). And then tells his wife, Sapphira, that they had “tested the Spirit of the Lord”, by their actions.

Here we have the Deity of the Holy Spirit, where He is called “God”, and “the Spirit of the Lord”. Notice the definite article in the Greek, “τω”, with “the God”, where it cannot be translated as “god”.

The OP is not about salvation in any form. What it is, is a study on the Person of the Holy Spirit from the Bible, showing that He is Almighty God. As the True God of the Holy Bible is One, but in Three distinct Persons, Father, Son and Holy Spirit, Who are equally YHWH, any other belief in God, is false, and cannot save anyone.

No one who believes that Jesus Christ or the Holy Spirit are created beings, as did Origen, and the JW's, and many others, can be saved, nor get to heaven, as their "god" is FALSE!

This is the Teaching of the whole Bible, from Genesis to Revelation

LOL, repeating your opinion as if it mattered is a sign of pride, not scholarship.
1) Your OP claimed if you believed wrongly you were hell bound. Thus the OP includes salvation.
2) No one is disputing the NT teaches the Holy Spirit is a distinct Person of the Trinity.
3) What is in dispute is your claim that mistaken views about the Trinity consigns a person to hell, but without scriptural support.

I am saying God chooses who He will save, based on Him crediting or not the person's faith in God and His Christ. Scripture says everyone believing in(to) Him (Christ) will not perish but have everlasting life. And we know we must believe in the One who sent Christ to be saved. But I have not found where scripture tells us we must have perfect understanding. (Romans 11:33)

Your opinion is based, it seems to me, on speculation.

Van · Dec 8, 2021

Does Christ accept less than desired belief and commitment? Yes. Recall Jesus wanted Peter to love His sacrificially - willing to die for Christ - yet Peter was then only willing to love Jesus as a friend, brother, companion. John 21. But Jesus uses broken reeds, people with flaws, weakness, imperfections. Jesus accepted Peter, just as he was, and put him into service, as the foremost apostle.

As the cattle that go down into the valley, the Spirit of Yahweh caused them to rest; so didst thou lead thy people, to make Thyself a Glorious Name.”

The words “caused them to rest”, in the Hebrew is, “תְּנִיחֶנּוּ”, which is the feminine, singular, and refers to, “רוּחַ” (the Spirit), literally, “she gave them rest”, which is a grammatical agreement of gender, and nothing to do with the Holy Spirit being a “female”.

The passage in Isaiah 63 shows beyond any doubt, that the Holy Spirit is Almighty God.

Job 33:4

“The Spirit of God has made me, and the breath of the Almighty gives me life.”

In the Hebrew we have “עָשָׂ֑תְנִי”, which is literally, “she has made me”. Not because the Holy Spirit is “female”, but, for grammatical agreement of gender, with, “רוּח” (Spirit), which is also feminine. It makes it clear, that here reference is not to “God”, but rather to “the Spirit”, Who is the Creator.

“made”, from the Hebrew verb, “עֲשׂוֹת”, which is used in Genesis 1

“in the beginning God created (בָּרָא) the heavens and the earth…God made (עֲשׂוֹת) the expanse” (Genesis 1:1, 7)

Note in this verse from Job, that “רוּח” (Spirit) is distinct from “נשׁמה” (breath), which is seen in Genesis 2:7, “And the LORD God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath (נשׁמה) of life; and man became a living soul”. Job 33:4, is a clear reference to Genesis 2:7, which shows that the Holy Spirit Himself is “the LORD God”.

“The Divine Spirit is that which formed me, and the breath of the Almighty that which teaches me.” (Lancelot Brenton, The Septuagint in Greek and English)

In Isaiah 51:13, we read, “And forget Yahweh your Maker, that has stretched forth the heavens, and laid the foundations of the earth”. Here “Maker”, in the Hebrew is, “עֹשֶׂ֗ךָ”, which is masculine singular. However, in 54:5, we read, “For your Maker is your husband; Yahweh of hosts is His Name”. Here, “Maker” is the Hebrew, “עֹשַׂיִךְ”, which is masculine, plural, “Makers”! And, in Ecclesiastes 12:1, where it reads, “Remember now your Creator in the days of your youth”, here also the Hebrew, “אֶת־בּוֹרְאֶיךָ”, is masculine, plural, literally, “your Creators”. Whereas, in Isaiah 40:28, and 43:15, we have, “בּרא”, which is singular. Clearly, the use of the plural means more than One Person. It is not used in the sense of “majesties”, as if the singular does not speak of the “Majesty” of the Great God of the Bible!

2 Corinthians 3:17-18

“ὁ δὲ κύριος τὸ πνεῦμα ἐστιν οὗ δὲ τὸ πνεῦμα κυρίου ἐλευθερία… καθαπερ απο κυριου πνευματος”, “However the Spirit is the Lord; and where the Spirit of the Lord, there liberty…even as from the Lord Spirit”

The use of the Greek article, “τὸ πνεῦμα”, is here used by retrospective reference, to refer “πνεῦμα”, back to what is said in verses 3-8. “ὁ δὲ κύριος τὸ πνεῦμα ἐστιν”, is to be understood of the Holy Spirit, and not Jesus Christ, and be translated as “The Spirit is the Lord”.

Interesting how verse 18 is translated in the New Testaments of the heretics.

“as by the Lord, the Spirit” (George Noyes, New Testament, The American Unitarian Society)

“as from the Lord, the Spirit” (B Wilson, Emphatic Diaglott, JW’s Publication)

“exactly as done by Jehovah [the] Spirit” (Kingdom Interlinear NT, JW’s Publication)

More accurately, the Holy Spirit is Yahweh the Spirit, which is kind of a weird way of speaking, since you find that kind of speaking no where in the Scriptures.

Yahweh is a name of God in the Bible. To say that the Spirit is Yahweh is saying the Spirit is the Father, and that ain't so.

More accurately, the Holy Spirit is Yahweh the Spirit, which is kind of a weird way of speaking, since you find that kind of speaking no where in the Scriptures.

Yahweh is a name of God in the Bible. To say that the Spirit is Yahweh is saying the Spirit is the Father, and that ain't so.

not so. Each Person in the Godhead, Father, Son and Holy Spirit, as being distinct, have the Name Yahweh. They are completely equal in every way, as the Name itself says.

God is One Being, and the Bible says that there are Three Who are Yahweh, hence we have the Biblical Teaching of the Holy Trinity. 1x1x1, which is 1. And not, 1+1+1, which is 3

Of course. It's grace through faith that saves, not the correct understanding of the Persons of the Trinity.

If one brought a turtledove as a sin offering instead of a lamb, did he receive forgiveness?

you are missing what I have said. You do not have to be a Trinitarian to get saved. But, after you are, and are shown by the Holy Spirit, that the God of the Bible is Three in One, and this is rejected, then that person cannot enter heaven, as their view of God is false.

Jesus says in John 8:24, "Therefore I said to you that you will die in your sins; for unless you believe that I am, you will die in your sins.”

By This Jesus means, I AM GOD, which will also be true of the Father and Holy Spirit, as the Three are One. Rejection of this is eternal damnation.

this does not mean that there is only One Person Who is Yahweh, as Scriptures says that there are THREE distinct Persons Who are equally Yahweh
