HEB 10:29; "outraged the Spirit of undeserved kindness with contempt". Once again Its is always God our father who is a God of undeserved kindness in that he sent his only begotten son down from heavan to this sinful, ungrateful world! When people reject God's gift of His son they reject the means by which that was made possible. At Jesus Baptism The Father poured our the 'Spirit' on him and blessed him. This enabled him to carry out the redemntion of sinful humans. Thus to reject Jesus is to reject in turn the means by which that was brought about, namely the pouring out of God's Spirit, thus rejecting the God who gaveit! Thus again no 'third person of the trinity'. ie; Sin & death are not persons, Paul said they "Ruled as Kings" Rom 5:14,21
JOHN 16:13; Here Jesus Is assuring his disciples that as he also said "Look I am with you all the days"(Matt 28:20) Since at his ascension he recieved the promised Holy spirit which from pentecost was in turn poured out on the disciples, he was comforting his followers that through God's Spirit he would 'guide them' and even 'declare to them the things coming' ( Rev 1:1 A revelation By Jesus Christ which GOD GAVE HIM, which he gave thorugh the angel to John) Thus Jesus was admitting here that all this was possible becaue 'what he hears he will speak'. As he confessed "I speak, not what is mine but his who sent me" ( John 7:16). Once again the wording at John 16:13 does not justify that the HS is a 'person'. Its Just GOD'S spirit!
1 Cor 2:13 "Taught by the spirit". Similar words to Heb 3:7 "The Holy Spirit says". Now lets be contextual! Paul quoted here from Psm 95:7 which Paul says was written by David ( see Heb 4:7). So Though David said those words, Paul says they were uttered by the "Holy Spirit"? Ah! Now we have it…2 Sam 23:2 says "The Spirit OF THE LORD speaks through me". Thus using simple logic, when Paul said at 1 Cor 2:13 that we can be "Taught by the Spirit", as we read The bible, God's word, which He inspired to be written we are 'taught by the Spirit', really by God himself! Thus No seperate 'Person' here, Just God's Spirit at work! searching for personality in references to the Spirit is a fruitless attempt to prove a 381AD council's doctrine!
Sda STOP praising a man! Doug should rebuke all these praises….
Yes. God created an invisible nameless third being God. Even though the Bible is clear that God is into names… But this third invisible person has no name or throne.
