The Lord said the World cannot receive the Spirit of Truth (John 14:17), why the prophecy said God would pour out His Spirit on all flesh (Acts 2:17-18). Here are paradoxes:

*1* God is in all men and God is not in all men: Both are true.

*2* God is in all things and God is not in all things: Both are true.

*3* The Lord is inside Satan/Demons and the Lord is not inside Satan/Demons: Both are true.

*4* The Spirit of God is in this world and the Spirit of God is not in this world: Both are true.

*5* The Lord knows all men and the Lord does not know all men: Both are true.

[Acts 17:28] — "For in God we live, and move, and have our being; as certain also of your own poets have said, For we are also God's offspring."

Don't get it twisted, "God's Absence is still God's Presence." There is just no where anything lives or moves without God's Presence, This is not just about God being omnipresent, but also about He being Life, Reality and Existence to all that are alive and existent. Creations consist or continue to exist because God is in all existing creations upholding their realities and life. To totally withdraw God from any reality is to remove the Reality of its existing.

So there's no true absence of God in anything or anywhere: but there's instead of Absence, "Invisibility or Concealment," of God; and as the Presence, "Manifestation or Revelation," of God. Just as total Absence of God would destroy realities, so also total Presence of God would also destroy realities. For if God who is Onmipresent appears in all places at the same time, there would be no space or place for anything else to exist.

So greater Parts or Portions of God must remain Invisible, Intangible and Mystery, leaving lesser Parts or Portions of God more room to manifest, move, live, walk, journey, travel, etc. And it would take us eternity to fully comprehend the smaller manifest Parts or Portions of God, not to take of the greater unmanifest Parts or Portions of God, which no angel or eyes have even seen.

In Autocad, those who know how to work with Layers know that there are ways to "Freeze Objects," and to "Turn off Objects," and to "Isolate Objects" in Autocad, especially when there are too many objects in the pages. Freezing Objects and Turning off Objects would make them unseen, invisible or disappear, as if those frozen objects are absence or non-existing on the pages; but they are there. While Isolating Objects is like opposite to freezing Objects or Turning off Objects, because Isolating Objects would make only the isolated objects to be raptured into another page or realm, making all other objects to disappear but only the isolated objects would be seen in something that appears to be a new background.

Such absence or disappearance does not mean nonexistence of those objects in the Autocad booklet.

The Paradoxes are about "Manifestations of the Spirit (God):" What we called "Gifts of the Spirit" are "Manifestations of the Spirit" and every man, Christian or not, righteous or sinner, has some Manifestation of the Spirit which he benefits from, according to who God inside them would manifest or hide Himself within them. The gifts of the Spirit are not nine in number, but are as many as how much the Spirit would manifest in men, through men or to men.

Another way to see it instead of "Manifestation of the Spirit" is to see it as "Measure of the Spirit" or "Measure of the Gifts/Grace received/given." The more measure of the Spirit of God you received, the more spiritual gifts you received. Yet it still comes to Manifestations.

The Comforter is the Spirit of Truth, which the world cannot receive. The world uses lies, falsehoods, and carnal mindedness, to comfort the world; but the Spirit of Truth comforts with Truth and in Truth: For the Spirit of Truth is the Comforter who teaches and reveals the Son of God, .

He is in the World as Breath of Life, as the Wind of God, as Grace of God, as Contending with men for them to repent, as Life-Force, and as the Spirit of Recommendation, and the World is receiving Him in these manifestations. But as the Spirit of Truth, as the Holy Spirit or Spirit of Holiness, as the Spirit of the Son of God, mainly as the Spirit of Truth, the world cannot receive Him. Satan is the father of lies, and does not abide in the truth, neither can Satan or this world receive the Spirit of Truth or the things of the Spirit.
