From what I know Our body is the throne of the Holy Spirit... after resurrection we will be having a spiritual and incorruptible body... God is everywhere Right Hand of God is not really Right Hand.... No one can seat at the Right hand of God... if you read the Scripture learn What throne his then also learn what Right hand means then you will know what that Sitting at the Right hand of God is... I don't want to Go into much details because they wont even accept... When the 4 Beast says Holy, Holy, Holy(father, son and Holy spirit...)

"The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the communion of the Holy Spirit be with you all. Amen." (2 Corinthians 13:14)

"Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit..." (Matthew 28:19)


"Come near to Me, hear this: I have not spoken in secret from the beginning; from the time that it was, I was there. And now the Lord GOD and His Spirit Have sent Me." (Isaiah 48:16)

"But now in Christ Jesus you who once were far off have been brought near...For through Him we both have access by one Spirit to the Father." (Ephesians 2:13-18)

"But you, beloved, building yourselves up on your most holy faith, praying in the Holy Spirit, keep yourselves in the love of God, looking for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ unto eternal life." (Jude 1:20-21)

"This Jesus God has raised up...Therefore being exalted to the right hand of God, and having received from the Father the promise of the Holy Spirit, He poured out this which you now see and hear." (Acts 2:32-33)

"Elect according to the foreknowledge of God the Father, through sanctification of the Spirit, unto obedience and sprinkling of the blood of Jesus Christ: Grace unto you, and peace, be multiplied." (1 Peter 1:2).


I agree with you. The Holy Spirit is God Almighty. Acts 5:3,4 says it all. v3 says they lied to the Holy Spirit, v4 says they lied not to men, but God. Holy Spirit is not man or force, but God, equal with the Father and Messiah.

truthislight:

That ^ statement there that you made is both foolish and an intent to conceal the truth.

1. The argument here is if Jesus is the almighty God.

2. If the holy spirit is a person and also almighty God.

Stop concealing your intent by posting a lame general statement.

The truth cannot be over emphasis, see what he beg his father:

"Saying, Father, if thou be willing, remove this cup from me: nevertheless not my will, but thine, be done. " (Luke 22:42).
.....................

Not when Jesus did not even know the Day and hour of the time of the end, but only the father knows.

What nonsense!

And you think you deserve respect since you can always twist scriptures and give twisted pegan ideas.



Rubbish!


You sound bitter, what would you then say when you find out you are actually the one wrong--the bible says
For to us a child is born,
to us a son is given,
and the government will be on his shoulders.
And he will be called
Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God,
Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.


Should I believe you or the book?
truthislight:
Why are over 99% of your stand are from deductions not clearly stated in the bible ?
Simple, Because people like you will not see what the Scriptures say. You gloss over it, and interpret it by what you may have heard over the years.
truthislight:
1. The same person as Yahweh.
2. Jesus is almighty God.
3. That Jesus is equal to Yahweh.
4. Let alone to put the holy spirit as a person.
Christ is definitely all of that according to scriptures

truthislight: Not when Jesus did not even know the Day and hour of the time of the end, but only the father knows..
Deuteronomy 29:29

"The secret things (God's secret things) belong unto the LORD our God: but those things which are revealed (no longer a secret, but must be believed) belong unto us and to our children forever, that we may do all the words of this law."


He had a prerogative to keep what is to be kept, He knew day and hour from His God-side. Remember, He is as man as He is God at the same time.

Isaiah's Vision of the Lord in His Glory
Isaiah 6:3
1In the year that king Uzziah died I saw also the LORD sitting on a throne, high and lifted up, and his train filled the temple. 2Above it stood the seraphim: each one had six wings; with two he covered his face, and with two he covered his feet, and with two he did fly. 3And one cried to another, and said, Holy, holy, holy, is the LORD of hosts: the whole earth is full of his glory.

Revelation 4:8 Each of the four living creatures had six wings and was covered with eyes all around, even under its wings. Day and night they never stop saying: "'Holy, holy, holy is the Lord God Almighty,' who was, and is, and is to come."
Isaiah gives signs of the times, showing how people will recognize the advent of their God:

"Say to those who are fearful-hearted, 'Be strong, do not fear! Behold, your God will come with vengeance, with the recompense of God; He will come and save you.' Then the eyes of the blind shall be opened, and the ears of the deaf shall be unstopped. Then the lame shall leap like a deer, and the tongue of the dumb sing. For waters shall burst forth in the wilderness, and streams in the desert." (Isaiah 35:4-6).

Which is why, when the disciples of John the Baptist inquired who Jesus was, He drew their attention to these very signs, then being shown right before their eyes: "When the men had come to Him, they said, 'John the Baptist has sent us to You, saying, "Are You the Coming One, or do we look for another?"' And that very hour He cured many of infirmities, afflictions, and evil spirits; and to many blind He gave sight. Jesus answered and said to them, 'Go and tell John the things you have seen and heard: that the blind see, the lame walk, the lepers are cleansed, the deaf hear, the dead are raised, the poor have the gospel preached to them. And blessed is he who is not offended because of Me.'" (Luke 7:20-22, Matthew 11:4-6).

Who but God gives sight to the blind?:

"The LORD opens the eyes of the blind; the LORD raises those who are bowed down; the LORD loves the righteous." (Psalm 146: 8 );

"So the LORD said to him, 'Who has made man's mouth? Or who makes the mute, the deaf, the seeing, or the blind? Have not I, the LORD?'" (Exodus 4:11).

Jesus The Father and Holy spirit is God... the Office of God is the father son and holy spirit... those are the 3 distinct person that is the One God... So Jesus is Distinct from the father... Jesus is not the father.

Just a part of the scriptures that says God the holy spirit and this discussion is suppose to be over........even after much discussion you're still using this account to prove the holy spirit was called GOD.......ona wayo for this thread don too much,,,,,,

We need to see a bolded expression where it is said the holy spirit is called the almighty God or even a God.....

It seems the scriptures is not ready to back you guys up.....

The holy spirit has been forced into the pagan triology....if you guys can't realize this truth then no amount of help can see you guys through.....

Just not long ago you guys never agreed that the Father is the only one GOd....if you and your pals haven't agreed on that aren't you guys insinuating that the holy spirit and Jesus are also the Father so that they can be squeezed into one God ??.......

This is what the trinity does to its adherent...they get confused until they don't know where they stand.....one time they are holding on to modalism,the next minute they are back to the trinity....confusion!confusion!!confusion!!!...

Now let me ask you this simple question and let me see if you will not fumble and finally tell me Jesus is not the same as the Father....

So what did he lie to? And what is the only spirit? You should question your doctrine or call it pagan for saying the holy spirit is F=ma(force) is active force biblical? Trinity is biblical but active force is not. If he didn't lie to God why did he make that statement?

I don't think you understand what we are saying... The father is God Jesus is God holy spirit is God also... Not 3 gods but 1... genesis God speaks of him self as plural... GOD is a title... And the three are 1. When Adam talk to God we later know it was Jesus...

there is only one GOD comma shocked The FATHER and ONE LORD comma shocked the SON...

When the rest of the verse is quoted a problem soon emerges with interpreting this verse to deny Jesus as God. The rest of the verse states that there is one Lord - Jesus Christ. So, to exclude the Son from being God because it says there is to us one God, the Father, would also exclude the Father from being one Lord! In fact, Jude 4 talks about "our only Lord and master, Jesus Christ." Are we therefore to conclude that the Father is not our Lord? Of course not. But by the same measure, if we are to be consistent, neither are we to conclude that the Son is not God either.

The fact is, 1 Corinthians 8:6 should be understood in the light of the fact that the terms “God” and “Lord” are used interchangeably of the Father and the Son in Scripture. In Mark 5:19 (Jehovah in the NWT) and Luke 8:39 the two terms are used interchangeably. The Father is called “Lord” (Matt. 11:25), but the Son is also called God (John 1:1, Titus 2:13; 2 Pet 1:1, etc.) Interestingly, the two terms “Lord” and “God” are both used of Jesus at John 20:28. Jehovah is also called by this title (Rev. 4:11). The two terms are used interchangeably of both the Father and the Son.

Re: Trinity: Why Is It Easier To Call Jesus God And Not The Holy Spirit by truthislight: 1:34pm On Jun 01, 2013
benalvino:
Ask your self if God is a spirit why does he have a spirit?

Most people really Confuse what spirit is.

The word spirit means many things.

See:

1. Spirit creatures are called spirits.
1. Power of spirit creatures is also called spirit.

While humans have hands and legs to do things, spirit creatures use their spirits(power) to do things.

Satan has his own power(spirit) and uses it to do whatever he wants:

"Wherein in time past ye walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the "spirit" that now "worketh"(act) in the children of disobedience: Among whom also we all had our conversation in times past in the lusts of our flesh, fulfilling the desires of the flesh and of the mind; and were by nature the children of wrath, even as others." (Ephesians 2:2-3).
.......................

From that ^, we can see that the (spirit)power of satan is being use by him to do what he wants and is call, "spirit".

Yahweh has his on power to act and to will what ever he wants to do and is called the "Holy spirit", the most powerful force in the univers >>> Holy spirit.

Though Yahweh is a spirit person, his power is his Holy spirit.

The action of the holy spirit is Yahweh's doing things, be it by delegation or directly.

The Holy spirit is an exclusive control of Yahweh except when he Gives it to his servant like when he gave it to Jesus during his baptism and Jesus started performing miracles.

How satan uses his power(his spirit) to deceive the sons of disobedient is what he wants to do and he uses his spirit to do that. Ephesians 2:2.
.............................

nlMediator:

In the common, non-spiritual usage of person, neither the spirit of man nor the spirit of the world is a person. But you make my point from Acts 5 when Peter told Ananias and his wife that they lied to the Holy Spirit. If the Spirit of God is like the spirit of man, it would make as much sense to say that one lied to the Holy Spirit as saying that one lied to the spirit of a human being. We don't use the latter, but Peter used the former. Because he recognizes that the Holy Spirit is more than a "force" or a "breath." He is a person that can be lied to.

The spirit of God was operational in those disciples, meaning that Go working in them or God's power was upon them.

So, such lying was a deliberate going against God who have given them(disciples) his Holy spirit.

So, they went against God's leading, went against God holy spirit since the holy spirit is God's.

If your children goes against your instruction/your leading they are going against you.

Peace.

Now please can you interchange those titles from 1 corinthians 11:3,1 corinthians 15:24-28,1 timothy 2:5...??..those are just few scriptures that squash your stance....

And oh I forgot to quote 2peter 1:1 from KJV and ASV....cheesy...here they are...


American King James Version
Simon Peter, a servant and an
apostle of Jesus Christ, to them
that have obtained like precious
faith with us through the
righteousness of God and our
Savior Jesus Christ
:

American Standard Version
Simon Peter, a servant and
apostle of Jesus Christ, to them
that have obtained a like precious
faith with us in the righteousness
of our God and the'saviour Jesus
Christ
:


Weymouth New Testament
Simon Peter, a bondservant and
Apostle of Jesus Christ: To those
to whom there has been allotted
the same precious faith as that
which is ours through the

Benalvino......

Now I want you to answer confidently...

Who is the only one GOD??.......angry

Really trying to make the bible look like Cheat but it is not working... the wayo bible or biggest wayo is the new world translation. you keep flipping bible that suits you in English in a way and in another argument suddenly the one that suits you is wayo and the KJV will be the one you use to support your self. so forget this talk.

You have no clue what the trinity is... Trinity is one God. In genesis God said let us(plural) he also refer him self as plural. Then in Hebrew we later know that there is father and son... That's when the role or office of God was established to play different role in saving mankind... An example when the holyspirit come opon them and they all speak in tongues does it mean the only spirit is not 1 and he is plenty? Answer is nope... The holy spirit is one and can be in billions of people at once... That my friend is one of the mystery of God human mind can comprehend

The word trinity is not in the bible neither is it a bible teaching. QED.

our brother benalvino has answered your question, although you seem to disagree. But the man had tried, could you please explain the prophesy of the coming of this begotten son.
For to us a child is born,
to us a son is given,
and the government will be on his shoulders.
And he will be called
Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God,
Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.

shdemidemi: ^^^ In this dispensation, the Age of Grace, it's not Jesus who does the baptizing but the Holy Spirit Who is the One doing the baptizing. And He baptizes believers into Christ. It's just a complete reversal to what had been taking place. You have to understand God is one with three entities within him, then the role of the Holy Spirit can then be fully understood.

"And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth. Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world. Amen." (Matthew 28:18-20).

Most people really Confuse what spirit is.

The word spirit means many things.

See:

1. Spirit creatures are called spirits.
1. Power of spirit creatures is also called spirit.

While humans have hands and legs to do things, spirit creatures use their spirits(power) to do things.

Satan has his own power(spirit) and uses it to do whatever he wants:

"Wherein in time past ye walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the "spirit" that now "worketh"(act) in the children of disobedience: Among whom also we all had our conversation in times past in the lusts of our flesh, fulfilling the desires of the flesh and of the mind; and were by nature the children of wrath, even as others." (Ephesians 2:2-3).
.......................

From that ^, we can see that the (spirit)power of satan is being use by him to do what he wants and is call, "spirit".

Yahweh has his on power to act and to will what ever he wants to do and is called the "Holy spirit", the most powerful force in the univers >>> Holy spirit.

Though Yahweh is a spirit person, his power is his Holy spirit.

The action of the holy spirit is Yahweh's doing things, be it be delegation or directly.

The Holy spirit is an exclusive control of Yahweh except when he Gives it to his servant like when he gave it to Jesus during his baptism and Jesus started performing miracles.

How satan uses his power(his spirit) to deceive the sons of disobedient is what he wants to do and he uses his spirit to do that. Ephesians 2:2.
.............................



The spirit of God was operational in those disciples, meaning that Go working in them or God's power was upon them.

So, such lying was a deliberate going against God who have given them(disciples) his Holy spirit.

So, they went against God's leading, went against God holy spirit since the holy spirit is God's.

If your children goes against your instruction/your leading they are going against you.

Peace.

baptize in the name of the father and the son... he no do them... then it say in the name of Yahweh power? na wao... why God they treat him power as different person na? I don already talk about spirit... satan is a spirit and satan is not an it also. Human spirit is the personality of the body which is the outward man and the spirit is the inward man... without the spirit the body doesn't function... with out the body the spirit functions. that is why the angels function and Guess what the disciples thought Jesus was a spirit after resurrection. this one should be put to bed...
IF the holy spirit is Gods power according to you guys... then the Holy spirit is God!!

Lol...you can call the NWT the most wayo-est bible translation..that is not my problem....at least the NWT has the name of the one true God written in its proper place...them try well well for that one.....

.......the problem here is I'm all out to make you see the trinity dogma does not originate with God.........

The next verse of the 2 peter you quoted even tells you the rendering of verse 1 is wrong......learn to always make scriptures act consistently and uncontradictory.........

And I also told you how an exact construct was used in thesellonians and that debunked the wayo played in 2 peter 1:1.......

It has always been known that the one true GOD is the Father......Jesus is not the Father and so not the on true GOD ....angry.....

No amount of spurious rendering and wrenching can battle that basic fact........

Now I would ask you again......

Who is the one true GOD??......

Read 1 timothy 2:5,1 corinthians 8:6,ephesians 4:6,1 corinthians 11:3 and also read through all of Jesus prayers and tell me who the one true GOD is........

the word bible, rapture, are not in the bible, but you believe them don't u? I read ur comment about the Holy Spirit about being a force... But I tell u, it's a blasphemy. The Holy Spirit is Almighty God. Just read Job33:4 using the KJV and not the 20th century adulterated bible versions. The Holy Spirit created you, AND ONLY God has the power to create man.

I repeat if u wana respond to me by quoting d scriptures, use the KJV.

Any bible version that can't quote 1 John5:7 in full is ADULTERATED.

Does the title SON apply to the Father??......

And did you notice that in isaiah it say he would be called.....meaning Jesus wasn't all of that before his descending to the earth......not until after his death did those names apply to Jesus and ofcourse Jesus acted in those roles.......

And which of the titles should we discuss first??....

Choose......

Re: Trinity: Why Is It Easier To Call Jesus God And Not The Holy Spirit by benalvino(m): 2:20pm On Jun 01, 2013
Jesus used personal pronouns when referring to the Holy Spirit:

"But I tell you the truth, it is to your advantage that I go away; for if I do not go away, the Helper will not come to you; but if I go, I will send Him to you. "And He, when He comes, will convict the world concerning sin and righteousness and judgment; concerning sin, because they do not believe in Me; and concerning righteousness, because I go to the Father and you no longer see Me; and concerning judgment, because the ruler of this world has been judged. "I have many more things to say to you, but you cannot bear them now. "But when He, the Spirit of truth, comes, He will guide you into all the truth; for He will not speak on His own initiative, but whatever He hears, He will speak; and He will disclose to you what is to come. "He will glorify Me, for He will take of Mine and will disclose it to you. "All things that the Father has are Mine; therefore I said that He takes of Mine and will disclose it to you. "(John 16:7-15).

Scripture uses many terms that are used when speaking of a person and applies them to the Holy Spirit:

He helps (John 16:7).

He comforts (John 14:16).

He convicts of sin (John 16:17).

He gives testimony of Jesus (John 15:26).

He teaches and brings to remembrance (John 14:26).

He guides (John 16:13).

He restrains (2 Thess. 2:7).

He speaks and instructs (Acts 8:29; 10:19; John 16:13).

He interprets our prayers (Rom. 8:26).

He sets apart/sanctifies (2Thess. 2:13).

He hears (John 16:13).

He seals us (Eph. 1:13).

He knows and communicates (1 Cor. 2:11; Rom. 8:27).

He sends (Acts 13:4).

He brings forth life (John 3:6 compare Gen. 1:3).

He is a witness (Acts 5:32).

He reveals (Eph. 3:5).

He prevents/stops (Acts 16:6-7).

He wills/separates (Acts 13:2).

He has a will by which He decides, chooses and distributes (1 Cor. 12:11).

He can be lied to (Acts 5:3-4).

He can be tested (Acts 5:9).

He can be grieved (Eph. 4:30).

He leads (Matt. 4:1).

The Spirit "said" to Philip. (Acts 8:29).

The Spirit "said" to Peter. (Acts 10:19-20).

Peter said he was "told" by the Spirit (Acts 11:12).

The Holy Spirit "solemnly testifies" (Acts 20:23).

The Holy Spirit "made" some of the early Christians "overseers to shepherd the Church". (Acts 20:28).

The Holy Spirit "spoke" (Acts 28:25-27).

Acts 15:22 states that "it seemed good to the apostles and the elders." Nothing particularly striking about this as it is just stating that something was good to certain people, in this case the apostles and the elders. However, in verse 28 we see an interesting parallel: "...it seemed good to the Holy Spirit and to us..." (Acts 15:28). Obviousely, this is similar to the earlier verse. But what is significant with both of these parallel verses is that the writer of Acts includes the Spirit along with various people as though he is just listing another Person. The casual way that this is presented makes this even more striking. The Apostles, elders, and the Spirit recognise something as being "good". Now if the Spirit were not a Person, but rather an impersonal force, as the Watchtower claim, it would be like saying "it seemed good to the wind and to us." Obviously, such a statement would make no sense.

In addition to this, it is incredible that that the Watchtower recognise other spirits as being personal but still deny the personality of the spirit:

The Watchtower Society tells us:-

1) That God is a Spirit and a person.
2) The angels are spirits and persons.
3) The demons are spirits and are persons.
4) Jesus is a spirit and a person.
5) Satan is a spirit and a person.
6) The Holy Spirit of God is a spirit but is NOT worthy of being a Person!!! *
