Featured Essense of God

Jesus said He and the Father are in us. Since you say there is only one Holy Spirit, you do not admit that the Father is Spirit and is Holy. Very strange view

 

Here JesusFan claims Jesus must be in us bodily because He is not Spirit that is Holy.

 

Your two citations did not address the issue of whether our Triune God is comprised of just One Spirit manifested as Three eternal Persons. Your language is unclear, and could be understood to mean the Three Persons are three Spirits.

 

Now this poster of obstruction claims scripture does not say that Jesus and the Father are in us.

 

Gibberish deflection. To claim the Father is not a divine eternal Spirit is heresy. To claim the Father and the Son are not "in us" is heresy.

 

Address the facts of scripture, and stop ignoring some and altering others.

 

The question is are these different names of one spirit or many divine spirits?

Matthew 3:16 - Spirit of God
Matthew 10:20 - Spirit of the Father
Luke 4:18 - Spirit of the Lord
John 14:17 - Spirit of Truth (the Helper)
Acts 16:7 - Spirit of Jesus
Romans 1:4 - Spirit of Holiness
Romans 8:2 - Spirit of Life
Romans 8:9 - Spirit of Christ
Romans 8:11 - Spirit of Him who raised Jesus
Romans 8:15 - Spirit of Adoption
Galatians 4:6 - Spirit of His Son
Ephesians 1:13 - Spirit of the promise (Holy Spirit)
1 Peter 4:14 - Spirit of Glory

Questions not one so-called expert has had the courage to answer:

Does the construction "Spirit of Someone or Something" mean Someone's Spirit, or simply indicates the purpose of the Spirit.
For example, the Spirit of the Promise is the Third Person of the Trinity, but is also designated as the Spirit of Adoption and the Spirit of Truth, and is also called the Helper or Comforter.

The purpose of the "Spirit of Truth" is to relate the truth about Jesus such that His disciples can be His witnesses in person and in writing.

 

Compare John 14:16 where Jesus sends the "Helper" (also translated as Comforter or Advocate) with 1 John 2:1 where Jesus is said to be the Helper. One way to resolve this difficulty is to adopt the idea that both Jesus and the Paraclete act for our benefit, first Jesus, and His sacrifice on the cross, becoming the means of our salvation, and second the Paraclete and his intercession on our behalf both in leading us into righteousness, and witnessing for us to the other Persons of the Trinity.

Note that Jesus says He will send "another Paraclete" which bolsters the idea that Jesus is the first and primary "Paraclete!"

 

Here is an orthodox illustration of our Trinity's characteristics.

If we add to the center word "God" with "the Spirit of Yahweh" have we advocated heresy?

If we add to the lower description, The Holy Spirit, the Paraclete, have we misrepresented the Third Person of the Trinity?
