gohf: I wonder how it is counted as 7
When it is clearly just 4 times the spirit is mentioned, why is the spirit mentioned four times and it is the spirit, the spirit, like the very same spirit four times or acting three times after resting on him.
Maybe it has to do with seven candle lampstand that looks like it is made up of four sticks. I am just assuming here
I also count it one to seven as well 😁 but as one, like the lampstand with seven candle sticks They are counted as 7 based on Hebrew poetic structure. Isaiah 1-39 are written in poetry. It's a study on its own. Don't wanna digress here. |

Nachmonides: Look, my take on the seven spirits is clear in case you are confused about my stance.
The seven spirits are symbolic, 7 represents the divine, completion, perfection. I believe the seven spirits talked about in Revelation 5:6 is actually 1 spirit that was sent to every part of the earth. In fact Isaiah 11:2 was talking about Jesus Christ and we see the spirit that rested on him in Matthew 3:16-17 and Luke 4:18. It's just 1 Spirit, and Matthew says it's the Holy Spirit, Luke says it's the spirit of the Lord. |

You see one more reason the spirit or spirits of God is not god or gods Isaiah 11:2 (KJV): "And the spirit of the Lord shall rest upon him, the spirit of wisdom and understanding, the spirit of counsel and might, the spirit of knowledge and of the fear of the Lord." 1,2,3,4,5,6 and 7 |

Lol, you mistakenly asked the same thing twice "is the Holy Spirit that was sent not one of the seven spirits, or is the holy spirit a part of the seven spirits,"
Shows that you believe the Holy Spirit is one of the seven spirits but don't forget the verse you quoted
Romans 8:11 (NIV): "And if the Spirit of him who raised Jesus from the dead is living in you, he who raised Christ from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies because of his Spirit who lives in you."
Well we may not have all seven in us ba but not like it matters if it's only the seventh that we have, abi? No I don't believe the holy spirit is one of the seven spirits. I believe the holy spirit is an embodiment of all seven spirits. |

gohf: when you read this in that post "You know, the seventh day represents the Holy day." What did you think I meant? Honestly, I don't really understand why you would say the seventh day represents the holy day (Sabbath), which is true, in your explanation of the seven spirits. Hence my question. Seven is symbolic as far as I know in biblical studies. |

Godson1379: To be honest I'm lost here. The Spirit that raised Jesus from the Dead and it's that same life giving Spirit that dwells with us Believers is quite understandable.
But is this the same Spirit that dwells in the Resurrected and Ascended Jesus that is seperate from his ascended Physical form or one together with him and the Father.
Remember God is Triune in One
Father, Son and Spirit
Please make your next reply coherent enough.
God bless 🙏 The Holy Spirit that raised Jesus from the dead is the same Spirit that dwells in believers. The resurrected and ascended Jesus embodies the fullness of God, including the Holy Spirit, because of the unity within the Trinity. While the Holy Spirit has His own distinct role, He is not separate from Jesus but works together with the Father and the Son. |

gohf: retype this your question.
Are you asking if the seven spirits in Jesus is Holy or that the seven spirits sent to every part of the earth is not the Holy spirit sent to churches?
That's true, why don't you tell us, seeing as you believe the Holy Spirit is god, are the seven spirits gods as well? I meant to ask, is the Holy Spirit that was sent not one of the seven spirits, or is the holy spirit a part of the seven spirits, or is the seven spirits something symbolic? |
Christianity Etc › Re: Questions About The Ascension Of Jesus by Nachmonides: 8:03pm On Jan 24, 2025 |
Nachmonides: If the Revelation 5:6 clearly says he sent forth the seven spirits into every part of the earth.
Question: Is it that the Holy Spirit that was sent is not the seven spirits or is it? Isaiah 11:2 is an interesting scripture in this talk of the seven spirits. |

gohf: lol okay
Zech.3.9 For behold, the stone That I have laid before Joshua: Upon the stone are seven eyes. Behold, I will engrave its inscription,' Says the LORD of hosts, "And I will remove the iniquity of that land in one day.
Well the stone is Jesus, the branch, God's servant, the lamb.
Rev.5.6 I looked and I saw a Lamb that had been killed but was now standing between the throne and the four living beings and among the twenty-four elders. He had seven horns and seven eyes, which are the seven spirits of God that are sent out into every part of the earth.
And God sent us the Holy Spirit.
You know, the seventh day represents the Holy day. If the Revelation 5:6 clearly says he sent forth the seven spirits into every part of the earth. Question: Is it that the Holy Spirit that was sent is not the seven spirits or is it? |

Godson1379: So what's the function of the Holy Spirit in all of this ? Romans 8:11 (NIV): "And if the Spirit of him who raised Jesus from the dead is living in you, he who raised Christ from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies because of his Spirit who lives in you." This verse explicitly identifies the Holy Spirit as the one who gave life to Jesus’ mortal body, raising Him from the dead. The Spirit's life-giving power is consistent with His role throughout Scripture as the One who imparts life (Genesis 2:7; Job 33:4). The interesting thing again is that Jesus explicitly referred to him raising his own body: John 2:19-21 (NIV): “Jesus answered them, ‘Destroy this temple, and I will raise it again in three days.’ They replied, ‘It has taken forty-six years to build this temple, and you are going to raise it in three days?’ But the temple he had spoken of was his body.” |

Godson1379: Fully Divine in what sense? Remember the Holy Spirit is part of the Godhead or do you have a different view from this ? Fully divine in the sense that it was no longer subject to the same limitations as before His resurrection. I said it earlier. His body wasn't fully divine before his resurrection because it could feel pain and could die. |
Christianity Etc › Re: Questions About The Ascension Of Jesus by Nachmonides: 7:42pm On Jan 24, 2025 |
Godson1379: So after his Death and resurrection, according to you , he was "Glorified" but still had a body of flesh as he was touched by his disciples signifying he had his physical form intact. Is that correct?
Now this Spirit being or Spiritual aspect of himself you talked about, is it the Holy Spirit or something else?
Thanks for your detailed explanation
Many thanks 🙏 This is what I mean by the spiritual aspect: ...fully divine, but it was transformed in the sense that it was no longer subject to the same limitations as before His resurrection. |

You have not changed 🤣  |
Christianity Etc › Re: Questions About The Ascension Of Jesus by Nachmonides: 7:24pm On Jan 24, 2025 |
Nachmonides: Stay with me then.
When Jesus ascended to heaven, He did so in His glorified body—a physical, but transformed body, not purely flesh or spirit alone. This body was both fully human (flesh) and fully divine, but it was transformed in the sense that it was no longer subject to the same limitations as before His resurrection. Here’s a detailed explanation:
1. Jesus’ Ascension: A Physical, Glorified Body
Acts 1:9-11 (NIV) – "After He said this, He was taken up before their very eyes, and a cloud hid Him from their sight. They were looking intently up into the sky as He was going, when suddenly two men dressed in white stood beside them. 'Men of Galilee,' they said, 'why do you stand here looking into the sky? This same Jesus, who has been taken from you into heaven, will come back in the same way you have seen Him go into heaven.'"
Key Point: Jesus ascended physically into heaven. His disciples saw Him leave, which indicates that His body was visible and tangible as He ascended. Spirits do not ascend as ascension is a physical movement within this physical plane / realm. A spirit alone without a body doesn't ascend because ascension is a physical movement.
2. A Glorified Body
Jesus' body was glorified after His resurrection. This means it was still a human body, but it was transformed and perfected in a way that surpassed its previous earthly limitations. His resurrected body was:
Immortal (no longer subject to death or decay).
Glorified (radiant and powerful, as shown in His transfiguration before His disciples).
Spiritual in the sense that it was no longer bound by normal physical laws, but it was still tangible and visible (He ate with His disciples, and they could touch Him).
Luke 24:39: Jesus shows His disciples that He has a physical body post-resurrection, saying, “Look at my hands and my feet. It is I myself! Touch me and see; a ghost does not have flesh and bones, as you see I have.”
3. Both Flesh and Spirit
Jesus ascended in both flesh and spirit: His body was glorified and spiritualized in a sense, but it still retained its humanity. Jesus’ ascension was not the ascension of a purely spiritual being or a spirit-only form. Instead, it was a physical ascension of a glorified body.
Philippians 3:21 speaks of believers being transformed to have bodies like Jesus’ glorious body, which further emphasizes that His ascension was in a glorified, human form: “Who, by the power that enables him to bring everything under his control, will transform our lowly bodies so that they will be like his glorious body.” You may then ask if you are conversant with scriptures: In Jacob's dream (found in Genesis 28:12-13), why were angels depicted to be ascending and descending especially on a stairway? Simple answer, it was a dream. |

Godson1379: So in what form did he ascend to heaven? Flesh, Spirit or both forms combined as the Op asked?
That shouldn't be a hard nut to crack Stay with me then. When Jesus ascended to heaven, He did so in His glorified body—a physical, but transformed body, not purely flesh or spirit alone. This body was both fully human (flesh) and fully divine, but it was transformed in the sense that it was no longer subject to the same limitations as before His resurrection.

Godson1379: Exaltation and translation
He was exalted first before translation took place Again, scriptures don't talk about a translation of Jesus Christ. In biblical terms, translation refers to being physically taken from one place (earth) to another (heaven) without experiencing death. This happened to: 1. Enoch (Genesis 5:24; Hebrews 11:5). 2. Elijah (2 Kings 2:11). Jesus, however, did not bypass death. Instead, He experienced death and resurrection before His ascension (Acts 1:9). Therefore, the word translation is not used to describe Jesus’ ascension because it involves His glorified body after the resurrection. Exaltation and Translation: Exaltation: The glorification, authority, and honor given to Jesus after His resurrection and ascension (spiritual and positional). Translation: The act of being physically or spiritually taken to heaven or another domain or location. Since Jesus tasted death for all (Hebrews 2:9), translation doesn’t apply to Him in the same way it applies to Enoch or Elijah. They look similar but you'll do well to spot the devil in the fine print. |

Godson1379: Bro, this is really just semantics on display.
What is the difference if we are being honest with ourselves?
After the exaltations, what followed next? In our apologia for the gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ, we must be careful of the words we use and don't use. We must be very very careful as we are handling matters of life. Each word we use should be carefully dished. "Study to show thyself approved... rightly dividing the word of truth." We are told. After exaltation to the right hand of the father ( a place of authority), what next? — We preach |

Kobojunkie: I am afraid you have completely lost me here. Mind you, I don't subscribe to any religious narratives that are, for the most part, attempts at overwriting the explicit content of the Israelite Scripture they claim to follow. 
2. Again, Jesus Christ of Isreal is recorded to have been born of a woman and the Spirit of God to fulfill the promise of God to David via the Covenant of Salt which He made to the family of Jacob. The same Jesus Christ of Israel, when He rose from the grave, after His death, confirmed that His flesh and blood were intact even after the ordeal. The same Jesus Christ of Israel then ascended up into His Father's Heaven with His flesh and blood intact with a message that the same way He went on, He would return to them. I guess the simple question I should ask you at this point is why you completely refuse to accept the words of Jesus Christ of Israel in this case. The Kingdom belongs to Him and He is the rule of Law in it, and according to Him, He will return the same way He left. So, why do you disagree with Him on this? On what grounds?  Concerning your first take on overwriting: "Overwriting" typically refers to imposing new meanings, interpretations, or doctrines on a text that aren't supported by the text itself or its original context. The Messiah: Someone might argue that the Christian idea of Jesus as the Messiah "overwrites" the Israelite Scriptures, which describe the Messiah as a future king who would bring peace and restore Israel rather than someone who would suffer, die, and return later. In this case, both are true. I'd say overwriting should be rid by contextual explanation of the texts. When you think you have one spotted, explain using what the scripture and context say what you think it means, what do you think? |
Christianity Etc › Re: Questions About The Ascension Of Jesus by Nachmonides: 12:23pm On Jan 24, 2025 |
Godson1379: Okay, Enough with the Drama let me give you a brief exposition as the Spirit leads 
Remember in the Scriptures, the word "Translated" was used.
Let me refresh your memory incase you missed it at Bible school classes
Colossians 1:13 Who hath delivered us from the power of darkness, and hath translated us into the kingdom of his dear Son:
Hebrews 11:5 By faith Enoch was translated that he should not see death; and was not found, because God had translated him: for before his translation he had this testimony, that he pleased God.
What does "translation" mean in this context?
It simply means mortality putting on immortality,
Fleshly putting on the immaterial, imperishable, corruptless form of the father and Son (the Word of God) as it was intended for Man before Creation and the very time itself began.
Now all of creation has been "Groaning" for the manifestation of the "Sons" of God. Who are this Sons? Well that's a lecture for another day.
In summary. During the ascension of Jesus after his Death and resurrection, he was translated to his eternal Form with all the powers of the earthly and spiritual realms handed to the rightful owner (Christ) by the Father with authority over all the earthly and spiritual forms of existences and beings as all things were created thru him and for him all for his pleasures.
Are you still confused? Jesus was exalted, not translated. It may seem similar but let's use what scriptures use. Exalted. |
