The answer is BOTH. John 15:26 "When the Helper comes, whom I will send to you from the Father, that is the Spirit of truth who proceeds from the Father, He will testify about Me, ..." So BOTH the Father and the Son send the Holy Spirit.
In one sense, you cannot separate the Father from the Son. "He who has seen Me has seen the Father; how can you say, 'Show us the Father'? "Do you not believe that I am in the Father, and the Father is in Me?" "Whoever denies the Son does not have the Father; the one who confesses the Son has the Father also." John 14:9-10; 1 John 2:23
In another sense, they are distinct from one another. No surprise - that's the Trinity. We can't fully explain it, but we see the reality of it.
ok, then, if what you said is true, is it not only the Holy Spirit who dwells in us? John 14:23 "Jesus answered and said unto him, If a man love me, he will keep my words:
and my Father will love him, and we will come unto him, and make our abode with him." the Father abide with us, and in us also? but did not the Lord Jesus said he will dwell with us and in us also? John 14:16 "
And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter,
that he may abide with you for ever;" John 14:17 "Even the Spirit of truth; whom the world cannot receive, because it seeth him not, neither knoweth him:
but ye know him; for he dwelleth with you, and
shall be in you." John 14:18 "I will not leave you comfortless:
I will come to you."
so we have the Father, the Son, and ..... the Holy Spirit in US? three persons..... you said, "BOTH". John 15:26 "When the Helper comes, whom I will send to you from the Father.
now the scriptures clearly states, "God is a, "one" Spirit. but from the above statements your Father, your Son, and your Holy Spirit, three PERSONS? or Three Spirits are indwelling the TRUE BELIEVER? let's see if three person are in the believer. listen, Romans 8:9 "But ye are not in the flesh, but in
the Spirit, if so be that
the Spirit of God dwell in you. Now if any man have not
the Spirit of Christ, he is none of his."
now is this two separate persons, or two separate Spirits. if you say two separate Person, then you have two separate Spirits. now if you say these Spirits are the same one Spirit, Good glade you said that, because the Spirit of Christ is the Holy Spirit who was in the Prophets of Old who is the Person the Holy Spirit. LISTEN, 1 Peter 1:10 "Of which salvation the prophets have enquired and searched diligently, who prophesied of the grace that should come unto you:" 1 Peter 1:11 "Searching what, or what manner of time
the Spirit of Christ which was in them did signify, when it testified beforehand the sufferings of Christ, and the glory that should follow. "the
Spirit of Christ?" ..... in the prophets of old... meaning the OT. well now was it n ot the Holy Spirit in the prophets of old? let's see who was in the OT prophets. 2 Peter 1:21 "For the prophecy came not in old time by the will of man: but holy men of God spake
as they were moved by the Holy Ghost." so the Lord Jesus is the Holy Spirit, who is the Father, the same one person. else you have three Spirits.
now go back to your statement, you said, "Both sent the Spirit". let's see what the Spirit of prophecy said.
Joel 2:27 "And ye shall know that I am in the midst of Israel, and that
I am the LORD your God, and none else: and my people shall never be ashamed." Joel 2:28 "And it shall come to pass afterward, that
I will pour out my spirit upon all flesh; and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, your old men shall dream dreams, your young men shall see visions:" Joel 2:29 "And also upon the servants and upon the handmaids in those days
will I pour out my spirit." Joel 2:30 "And I will shew wonders in the heavens and in the earth, blood, and fire, and pillars of smoke." Joel 2:31 "The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before the great and the terrible day of the LORD come." Joel 2:32 "And it shall come to pass, that whosoever shall call on t
he name of the LORD shall be delivered: for in mount Zion and in Jerusalem shall be deliverance, as the LORD hath said, and in the remnant whom the LORD shall call."
is not the Name of the LORD is JESUS? let the scripture speak, John 5:43 "I am come
in my Father's name, and ye receive me not: i
f another shall come in his own name, him ye will receive."
dwight92070, who name did you get save by? Jesus or Jehovah, or.....? who is that name? remember you said "BOTH".... (smile)
