God The Holy Spirit

[Obadiah]

But you shall receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you; and you shall be my witnesses in Jerusalem and in all Judea and Samaria and to the end of the earth.”
Acts 1:8

What does the Holy Spirit do?​

What do you know about the Holy Spirit? Go head take a moment a post a reply.
You might be think nothing or that the Holy Spirit is some type of a ghost.
Or you might be think something totally different.

The Holy Spirit provides the Christian with power for living, understanding of spiritual truth, guidance in doing what is right, and spiritual gifts to build up the church and spread the gospel. These are just four thing but there are more.

Where did the Holy Spirit come from?​

The bible full of that about the Holy Spirit. Genesis talk about the Holy Spirit. Acts gives us the best place to pick up and talk about the Holy Spirt. Join me as i read.


Acts 1:7–8
7 He said to them, “It is not for you to know times or periods that the Father has set by his own authority. 8 But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come on you, and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth.”

Where did the Holy Spirit come from?​

God sent the Holy Spirit after Jesus went into heaven. You see Jesus was with disciples his followers for a few year and now he was suddenly gone. They had no clue what to do. Right before he went to heaven. He told the disciples to not go anywhere and to wait for this gift that would come.
This gift would help them spread what Jesus had done to the ends of the earth. This gift was the Holy Spirit.

Acts 2:1–4
1 When the day of Pentecost had arrived, they were all together in one place. 2 Suddenly a sound like that of a violent rushing wind came from heaven, and it filled the whole house where they were staying. 3 They saw tongues like flames of fire that separated and rested on each one of them. 4 Then they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak in different tongues, as the Spirit enabled them.

Where did the Holy Spirit come from?​

You see the Holy Spirit came on a very big day in the life of the Jewish people The day of Pentecost. So what is Pentecost? Pentecost or Fest of Weeks celebrated fifty days after First Fruits as a harvest celebration praising God for His continued provision. This was a celebration that God had put into place back when the Jewish people left Egypt and where in the dessert. So there would have been a lot of people in the city at this time that way its important. More people got to here here the what Jesus had done.

The Holy Spirit came down in a violent rushing wind that filled the whole house. The disciples that were there saw flame tongue rest on them and they began to speak in different languages.

If this is how the Holy Spirit came first then why does he not come like this now? What do we have to do.

When can you receive the Holy Spirit?​

Peter give the answer to this just a few verse down.
Acts 2:38–39
38 Peter replied, “Repent and be baptized, each of you, in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins, and you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.
39 For the promise is for you and for your children, and for all who are far off, as many as the Lord our God will call.”

When can you receive the Holy Spirit?​

We all can. When ever you ask Jesus to forgive you of your sins. The gift of the Holy Spirit come upon you. each and every one of use has the this gift. The next question is this.

What can we do with the Holy Spirit?​

The Holy Spirit is our counsellor. He provides us with comfort, and draw us closer to Jesus.

He guides us in the right direction when we want to follow and not go on our own way.
He to convict the world of sin.
He gives us the gift of the Holy Spirit. Which can be many different thing. Wisdom, teaching/ preaching/, Faith, Healing, different kinds of languages and to intervention them.

Galatians 5:22–23
22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, 23 gentleness, and self-control. The law is not against such things.

God has sent you a Helper who can guide and lead you​

Now, you might be thinking, “Why is the work of the Spirit a conviction for Christians?” There are two reasons to consider. The first is theological: we want to be honest about what the Bible says. If it says these things about the Spirit, then we should assume they are important. Second, if you struggle—with a belief, in your prayer life, with a sin, in sharing your faith with someone else, or with anything else in your life of faith—you can rejoice! You can rejoice because God anticipated your weakness and has sent the Holy Spirit to help you. You can pray to God for more of his Spirit, for wisdom from the Spirit, for strength from the Spirit, for the leading of the Spirit—and trust that he will provide and answer that prayer.

What does the Holy Spirit do?

is not the Holy Spirit God himself? so, are you asking what God do?

101G.

 

[Fred]

is not the Holy Spirit God himself?

Yes, but the Holy Spirit is not Jesus. (Matthew 28:19)

so, are you asking what God do?

101G.

Not, "do", but does.

 

[101G]

Yes, but the Holy Spirit is not Jesus. (Matthew 28:19)

why not, Father, Son and Holy Spirit are only "TITLES" of JESUS. and if not, then the apostle Peter lied. for Peter said, Acts 8:16 "(For as yet he was fallen upon none of them: only they were baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus.)"
ONLY "ONE" NAME was used just as Matthew 28:19 clearly points OUT. notice Matthew 28:19 states baptize in the NAME, and not NAME(S), meaning only "ONE" NAME. LISTEN carefully to Matthew 28:19 "Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost:"

baptizing in ... "THE" NAME" .... only one name. .

101G.

 

[Fred]

why not, Father, Son and Holy Spirit are only "TITLES" of JESUS

The use of the definite article ("the") before each in Matthew 28:19 precludes this.
1 singluar "Name" encompasses all Three.


Ron Rhodes: It is highly revealing that the word ‘name’ is singular in the Greek, indicating that there is one God, but three distinct persons within the Godhead–the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. Theologian Robert Reymond draws our attention to the importance of this verse for the doctrine of the Trinity:
Jesus does not say, (1) ‘into the names [plural] of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit,’ or what is virtually equivalent, (2) ‘into the name of the Father, and into the name of the Son, and into the name of the Holy Spirit,’ as if we had to deal with three separate Beings [akin to the Muslim charge of tritheism]. Nor does He say, (3) “into the name of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit’ (omitting the three recurring articles), as if ‘the Father, Son, and Holy Ghost’ might be taken as merely three designations of a single person. What He does say is this: (4) ‘into the name [singular] of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit,’ first asserting the unity of the three by combining them all within the bounds of the single Name, and then throwing into emphasis the distinctness of each by introducing them in turn with the repeated article. (Reasoning from the Scriptures with Muslims, pages 118-119)

 

[101G]

The use of the definite article ("the") before each in Matthew 28:19 precludes this.
1 singluar "Name" encompasses all Three.

Glad you said that. scripture, James 1:27 "Pure religion and undefiled before God and the Father is this, To visit the fatherless and widows in their affliction, and to keep himself unspotted from the world."

so here the term "GOD' here singular "Name" here encompasses this TITLE..... Father, correct.... YES or NO? your answer PLEASE.... (smile)

God refers to the Father in James 1:27.

When are you going to believe the Truth and change your name to 111G

THREE are ELOHIM = “If you love Me, keep My commandments. And I will pray the Father, and He will give you another Helper, that He may abide with you forever— the Spirit of truth, whom the world cannot receive, because it neither sees Him nor knows Him; but you know Him, for He dwells with you and will be in you. I will not leave you orphans; I will come to you.

 

[101G]

God refers to the Father in James 1:27.

Instead of your ridiculous smile, get to your point.

meaning only one person correct..... now, Acts 2:23 "Him, being delivered by the determinate counsel and foreknowledge of God, ye have taken, and by wicked hands have crucified and slain:" Acts 2:24 "Whom God hath raised up, having loosed the pains of death: because it was not possible that he should be holden of it." God here is the Father correct. one more scripture, Acts 5:30 "The God of our fathers raised up Jesus, whom ye slew and hanged on a tree." again, God here is the Father correct.

Now this, John 2:18 "Then answered the Jews and said unto him, What sign shewest thou unto us, seeing that thou doest these things?" John 2:19 "Jesus answered and said unto them, Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up." John 2:20 "Then said the Jews, Forty and six years was this temple in building, and wilt thou rear it up in three days?" John 2:21 "But he spake of the temple of his body." John 2:22 "When therefore he was risen from the dead, his disciples remembered that he had said this unto them; and they believed the scripture, and the word which Jesus had said."

if the disciples ... "BELIEVED" ..... what Jesus said to them, then A. did Jesus Lie, when he said "he will raise up his body?" or B. did Peter LIE with the Holy Spirit in him on the day of Pentecost when he said "GOD", whom you said is the Father raised up that body. now who lied?

101G suggest you go back and read all the verses above again before you answer.

101G.

well now let's see if you LOVE the Lord your God ..... maybe?

Question Dave, John 1:1 "In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God." John 1:2 "The same was in the beginning with God." John 1:3 "All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made." Now this, Isaiah 44:24 "Thus saith the LORD, thy redeemer, and he that formed thee from the womb, I am the LORD that maketh all things; that stretcheth forth the heavens alone; that spreadeth abroad the earth by myself;"

Dave, is this the same one person in John 1:3 who .. "MADE ALL THINGS" ... the same one person in Isaiah 44:24 who .."MADE ALL THINGS" ..... BY HIMSELF, WHO WAS ALONE, YES or NO? your answer please.

It takes THREE

like you and me

THREE They Be
All in One Tree

Elohim FATHER

Elohim HOLY SPIRIT

 

[Fred]

meaning only one person correct.....

Yes, in James 1:27.

now, Acts 2:23 "Him, being delivered by the determinate counsel and foreknowledge of God, ye have taken, and by wicked hands have crucified and slain:" Acts 2:24 "Whom God hath raised up, having loosed the pains of death: because it was not possible that he should be holden of it." God here is the Father correct. one more scripture, Acts 5:30 "The God of our fathers raised up Jesus, whom ye slew and hanged on a tree." again, God here is the Father correct.

Yes.

Now this, John 2:18 "Then answered the Jews and said unto him, What sign shewest thou unto us, seeing that thou doest these things?" John 2:19 "Jesus answered and said unto them, Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up." John 2:20 "Then said the Jews, Forty and six years was this temple in building, and wilt thou rear it up in three days?" John 2:21 "But he spake of the temple of his body." John 2:22 "When therefore he was risen from the dead, his disciples remembered that he had said this unto them; and they believed the scripture, and the word which Jesus had said."

if the disciples ... "BELIEVED" ..... what Jesus said to them, then A. did Jesus Lie, when he said "he will raise up his body?" or B. did Peter LIE with the Holy Spirit in him on the day of Pentecost when he said "GOD", whom you said is the Father raised up that body. now who lied?

Both the Father and Jesus raised Jesus.

Simple.

 

[101G]

Both the Father and Jesus raised Jesus.

LOL, LOL, LOL, ERROR, gross ERROR, .......... LISTEN, John 2:19 "Jesus answered and said unto them, Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up."

I is how many persons Fred?

your trinity doctrine says the 3 persons called God are separate and distinct. when the Lord Jesus used the pronoun "I" ... no one else was involved in raising up his body. so your reply was incorrect...... do you want to try again?......... (smile). YIKES!

if this is true, then answer 101G this. in the book of acts chapter 9, the apostle Paul, then named Saul was on his way to Damascus. and on the road he encountered the Lord Jesus, the resurrected Christ. Paul then Saul was chosen by God. scripture, Acts 9:15 "But the Lord said unto him, Go thy way: for he is a chosen vessel unto me, to bear my name before the Gentiles, and kings, and the children of Israel:"

here the Lord Jesus told Ananias that Paul, then Saul, was a chosen vessel unto him. now, did the Lord Jesus choose Paul, then Saul? before you answer, read Paul's account of this same incident in acts chapter 22 when he was returned to Jerusalem and re-counting the story. scripture, Acts 22:12 "And one Ananias, a devout man according to the law, having a good report of all the Jews which dwelt there," Acts 22:13 "Came unto me, and stood, and said unto me, Brother Saul, receive thy sight. And the same hour I looked up upon him." Acts 22:14 "And he said, The God of our fathers hath chosen thee, that thou shouldest know his will, and see that Just One, and shouldest hear the voice of his mouth." .... the GOD of our fathers?

Dave, based on these two accounts.......... "WHO CHOOSE PAUL, THEN SAUL TO BE ..... HIS VESSEL". so, who is the "HIS", here, and the "ME" in Acts 9:15. was it A. the Lord Jesus. or the one whom you calls the Father, as Ananias said, "The God of our fathers hath chosen thee". so was it ONE person who chose Paul, then Saul, or two separate and distinct persons.

So Dave, by name who chose Paul, then Saul as ..... "His" vessel? your answer please.

101G highly recommend you read all of the accounts that the apostle made regarding his Damascus ROAD encounter with Almighty God. will be looking to hear your answer.

101G.

 

[101G]

Also @DavidTree,
your answer did not reconcile the John 1:3 and the Isaiah 44:24 question concerning as to WHO "MADE ALL THINGS". it could not be three person, because Isaiah 44:24 clearly states that the LORD was ALONE and BY HIMSELF when he "MADE ALL THINGS". because "ALONE" means, having no one else present. just use your internet browser to look up the word "ALONE" 101G used the Microsoft Bing browser. and also using the Noah Webster's 1828 Dictionary of American English on the term "BY" as in by himself, that also eliminate the "THROUGH" mystery as some one else helped in creation.... some use in scriptures. he spoke by, by, by, or through himself as definition #3 of the Noah Webster's 1828 Dictionary of American English dictionary on the term "BY" clearly states.

so, by the bible, the three person are eliminated....... want to try again?

101G.

This is very simple when you believe every word that proceeds from the Mouth of God = Matthew 4:4

John 6:37-40
All that the Father gives Me will come to Me, and the one who comes to Me I will by no means cast out.
For I have come down from heaven, not to do My own will, but the will of Him who sent Me.
This is the will of the Father who sent Me, that of all He has given Me I should lose nothing, but should raise it up at the last day. And this is the will of Him who sent Me, that everyone who sees the Son and believes in Him may have everlasting life; and I will raise him up at the last day.”

Therefore concerning the eating of things offered to idols, we know that an idol is nothing in the world, and that there is no other God but one. For even if there are so-called gods, whether in heaven or on earth (as there are many gods and many lords),
yet for us there is one God, the Father, of whom are all things, and we for Him; and one Lord Jesus Christ, through whom are all things, and through whom we live.
