The Theology of the Holy Spirit Explained and Defended

I definitely didn’t have manifesting figured out. I kept trying different techniques, getting nowhere and wondering what I was doing wrong. Vera Hart’s archetype quiz helped me understand that I was using methods that simply didn’t match me. Nothing magically changed overnight, but it finally gave me some direction. It’s free, so you might as well try it.

The most ignored, most misunderstood because most refuse to receive His power because of religious thought.

It is not your place to judge what is in someone else's heart or someone else's Christian walk.

The holy spirit is characterised by the image of a white dove in churches. The white dove is also the meaning of the name JONAS. So if the holy spirit was indeed a person JONAS or JONA might be close.

No, you can't. But you can lie and people can click like button and you can make money...right?

what a crazy pauline CONSTRUCTION. Neither God Father, nor God Son and not at all "the holy spirit" ever spoke to me, although I spoke to them

LOVE YOU !

Trinity = God The Father (Moon), God The Son (Sun) and Goddess The Mother (Venus).

hail satan

All I have to say is without unlocking your ability to communicate with the Holy Spirit. Your not even accessing 10% of it.

Mike, you need to play this video again, It is 5 years old and I finally found it

I fall a sleep watching YT and always wake up to the wildest videos, but by far this has to be the wildest, no idea how YT autoplay even got to here :D

Do you accept revenue from the ungodly advertising on your channel?

I don't think most of us here have seen or bought the book about the 365 days with the Holy Spirit by Fr Charles Watson. This book is wonderful. It was a dream come through for my desire to know and love the Holy Spirit as my Greatest Friend, preparing me daily for His Service.
I just said let me share this juicy update
God bless you Fr. Charles Watson
A lot of lives have been touched through your books

Am not Christian but I love the love in christianity. Having said how does a christian truly know a god is dwelling inside them and seperate him from your own conciousness?

How can you defend something that is unseen and supernatural? This is the same as defending the tooth fairy or Santa Claus. Thank you my friends and have a great day.

THE HOLY SPIRIT NEEDS MONEY ! DONATE NOW !!!

I wonder if what I've always felt is true; that it feels like The Holy Spirit is the spirit of God, but it's the spirit that's here, in the air if you ask Him to
be with you & shield you.
Like, you reach out mentally and hold on.

Thank you.

I'm not sure when I added a bookmark for this page, but tonight I actually listened to the whole thing. It's very much accurate and it tells the truth clearly. Thank you! God Bless!

48:22 Amen

The Holy Spirit is God himself, so there is no reason to create confusion. This is why the Trinitarian doctrine has two Holy Spirits in their teaching, which is unbiblical.

Love God and love thy neighbor as thyself.
My neighbors do not include those persons
whose intellectual gift preclude their offspring
from any gainful employment in a human future.

This was interesting.

PAUL WAS DEMON POSSESED AND ADMITED IT TOO BAD YOU NON-GREEK READERS CANT FIGURE IT OUT_JeZEUS WAS MADE UP BY PAUL-PROOF: PSALM 89

Holy Spirit is our comforter; God's gift from Him

Such an otherwise normal looking and acting human.

SATAN ROCKS! FCUK this garbage! Religion is the MAJOR cause for MOST WARS, despite the fact that most religions FIRST rule is "Though Shalt Not kill!" = Makes religion utterly dangerous!!

In John 14:16-17, Jesus speaks about sending the Holy Spirit to His disciples:


"And I will ask the Father, and he will give you another advocate to help you and be with you forever— the Spirit of truth. The world cannot accept him, because it neither sees him nor knows him. But you know him, for he lives with you and will be in you."

I guess Christians have never read the parts the say G-d is one.Part 1



THE JEWISH SCRIPTURES



THE JEWISH RESPONSE TO MISSIONARY CHRISTIANITY



Chapter 1



THE MEANING OF ’ELOHIM

(Genesis 1:1)



Genesis 1:1, states: “In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.” Here the word for God is ’Elohim, having a plural form as though it meant “gods.” Trinitarians maintain that this is proof that God is a plurality. A careful investigation of the actual use of this word in the Jewish Scriptures unequivocally shows that ’Elohim, while plural in form, is singular in concept. In biblical Hebrew, many singular abstractions are expressed in the plural form, e.g., rachamim, “compassion” (Genesis 43:14, Deuteronomy 13:18); zekunim, “old age” (Genesis 21:2, 37:3, 44:20); n‘urim, “youth” (Isaiah 54:6, Psalms 127:4).



The commentator Rashi offers a significant insight into the meaning of the word ’Elohim. In commenting on the phrase yesh l’eil yadi, “there is power in my hands” (Genesis 31:29), he writes:



“And anywhere ’eil denotes holiness [as in a Name of God], [it is] because [it connotes] ‘strength’ [see Proverbs 8:28] and ‘great power’ [Isaiah 40:26].” That is, ’El generally means “God,” and, in particular the God of Israel, because He is the sum of all power, but it can also refer to other “powers,” real or imaginary, as well (e.g., human authorities, angels, idols). The Jewish Scriptures teach us that ’Elohim is an honorific title, which expresses the plural of majesty. The underlying reason for the grammatically plural form ’Elohim is to indicate the all-inclusiveness of God’s authority as possessing every conceivable attribute of power.



The use of the plural for such a purpose is not limited merely to ’Elohim, but also applies to other words of profound significance. For instance, Isaiah 19:4 uses ’adonim (“lords”) instead of ’adon (“lord”):



“Into the hand of a cruel lord” (literally “lords,” even though referring to one person),1 and Exodus 21:29 reads: “Its owner [literally be‘alav, “its owners”] also shall be put to death.” Thus, we see that the plural of a noun is sometimes used to signify one person, as a mark of honor and distinction or for emphasis.



'Elohim

’Elohim, in the first verse of Genesis, does not show the existence of a plurality of persons in the God of Israel. Concerning human authority, it may indicate a plurality of persons. We read in Exodus 22:8: “Both parties shall come before the ’elohim [“judges”], and whom the ’elohim [“judges”] shall condemn, he shall pay double to his neighbor.” However, Jacob wrestles with one being, yet that being is referred to as ’elohim (Genesis 32:31); and the angel that appears to Manoah, the father of Samson, is also referred to as ’elohim (Judges 13:22). Note the words used by the woman in speaking to Saul when, upon seeing Samuel, she exclaims: “I see’elohim coming up out of the earth” (1 Samuel 28:13). Here, ’elohim is followed by the verb in the plural. Yet only a single individual is referred to, as is seen from verse 14: “And he said to her: ‘What is his appearance?’ And she said: ‘An old man is coming up; and he is wrapped in a robe.’” Thus, even joined to a plural verb the noun may still refer to a single individual.



’Elohim means “gods” only when the Bible applies this plural word to pagan deities. The pagan Philistines apply the title ’elohim to their god Dagon (Judges 16:23-24, 1 Samuel 5:7). The Moabites, likewise, used the word ’elohim to describe their god Chemosh (Judges 11:24). If trinitarian Christians are correct in their argument that the use of ’Elohim with a singular verb means there are three coeternal, coequal persons in one god, then the same thing must be true for the Philistine god Dagon and the Moabite god Chemosh. They must be respectively a plurality of persons in one god. How else could trinitarians explain the Philistines saying of Dagon: “Our god [’eloheinu] has delivered” (Judges 16:24)? Here, the verb is singular, yet the subject is, literally, “our gods” in the plural. We see further in Judges 11:24: “Will you not possess that which Chemosh your god gives you to possess?” Chemosh is in the singular number, and in apposition with it is ’elohecha (literally “your gods”), which is in the plural number (see also Judges 6:31: “If he [Ba‘al] is a god [’elohim]”).



Elijah's confrontation

The episode of Elijah’s confrontation with the priests of Baal gives the reader further insight into the essential oneness of God as taught by the Jewish Scriptures. Elijah demonstrates God’s power and primacy on Mount Carmel. He challenges the 450 priests of Baal. Each side is to sacrifice a bullock before the assembled Israelites. Now they will see whose prayers calling down fire to consume the respective offerings would be answered. The prophets of Baal cry out, slashing themselves with knives and swords until their blood flows, but to no avail. Elijah prays: “Answer me, Y-H-V-H, answer me,” and a divine fire descends from heaven to consume Elijah’s offering. All the assembled Israelites cry out: “Y-H-V-H — He is God [’Elohim]” (1 Kings 18:39). Throughout this passage, Baal is referred to as “he,” in the thirdperson singular, in conjunction with the plural ’elohim. Y-H-V-H is also addressed in the same language. Yet, where is the plurality of Baal if one wants to insist on trinitarian grammatical guidelines?



There is simply no justification for the notion that ’Elohim denotes a plurality in the essence of God. Some trinitarians justify the use of the plural with Dagon, Chemosh, and Baal on the basis of the assumption that they were not the name of one idol only, but were the names of innumerable idols throughout the respective kingdoms where they were worshiped. Hence, Dagon, Chemosh, and Baal though in the singular form, are collective nouns, which embraced every idol of the realm. But, this interpretation is unattested and forced. It is nothing but a theory invented to support a theological need. That the plural form of ’elohim does not imply the plurality of the divine essence is a fact that was already known in ancient times. This is reflected in the Septuagint version of the Scriptures, which renders ’Elohim with the singular title ho Theos (“The God”).



One also needs to consider the frequent use of the singular ’Eloha. For example we find: “s.5” (Deuteronomy 32:15); “You that forgot God [’Eloha]” (Psalms 50:22); “At the presence of the God [’Eloha] of Jacob” (Psalms 114:7). If ’Elohim refers to a triune deity, how can one account for the alternate deployment of ’Elohim and ’Eloha? Isaiah declares: “Thus says the Lord, the King of Israel, and his Redeemer the Lord of hosts: I am the first, and I am the last, and besides Me there is no God [’Elohim]” (Isaiah 44:6). This is followed in verse 8 by: “Is there a God [’Eloha] besides Me?” If the truth of the doctrine of the Trinity depends in any measure on the plurality in form of the noun ’Elohim, the use of ’Eloha, the singular of the noun, most decidedly disproves it.



1 For ’adonim used in this way, see also: Genesis 24:9, 10, 51; 39:2-20; 40:1; 42:30, 33; Exodus 21:4, 6, 8; Judges 19:11, 12; Malachi 1:6.

..it's as Jesus said : it's to our blessing that He goes away so that He and the Father would send the Holy Spirit - otherwise we would all have to travel to where Jesus was physically but now we have access all over planet earth.

None of the Scriptures were written to explain Who or What GOD is from scratch. They were all written to believing communities or persons, often Clergy. CHRIST didn't leave a Book, but rather the SPIRIT and Church. Scripture is only a Witness and a part of Tradition.

Jesus save me from your followers.

If jesus is god mary is his mom and god got marry pregnant, then jesus got his mom pregnant

Brother, there is no "THE" in the translations from Greek. We don't talk about THE God and THE Jesus in the first person. If I have to talk about THE Mike Winger, it does not sound personal, does it?. Holy Spirit's pronoun is not THE. He is not WOKE. He is not a "It" or a "thing". So stop talking about "THE" Holy Spirit, it is just Holy Spirit, like Jesus and God. I believe we are grieving Holy Spirit by making Him a It.
When you start addressing Him in a personal way you will deepen your relationship with HIM, our Helper and converter.

GLORY TO CHRIST JESUS!! THE TRUE KING!! NAME ABOVE ALL!! GOD BLESS you brother learned alot viewing your content!! THANK YOU FOR SHARING TRUTH LOVE PASSION AND MOST OF ALL TRUTH ABOUT CHRIST JESUS!!! GOD IS GOOD!! SOOO SOOO GOOD!!

Christ is the head the members of the church are the body.

IS GRIEVING THE HOLY SPIRIT THE SAME THING AS BLASPHEMY OF THE HOLY SPIRIT ?

Hi

U are very good when it comes to share the gospel good theology which I love it and this a thing that the charismatic movement don't do and they are false teachers and they are so many of them Kenny Copland ,Joel steen, even women's that they are no supposes be in the pulpit like Joyce Mayer asking for money offering miracles and wonders deceive many people, we need more people like you brother in Christ.

John 14:16-17

John16:7 THE HOLY SPIRIT IS PERSON . HELPER WILL NOT COME TO YOU

THE HOLY SPIRIT LORD GOD IS PERSON

Ignoring is certainly not the word I had in mind...

Christ is son of the Holy Spirit, Christ cannot have 2 fathers. Therefor the trinity is false. Also pagans had a trinity thats why the catholic church adapted such doctrine

"Personal" is subjective; it too easily violates doctrine. This is the problem with personal, subjective. As exampled; lie- can be doctrinally twisted to meet personal wants? Personal can easily be inaccurate doctrinally. I don't lie, but I lift a lier; is that accurate doctrine? Inaccurate doctrine can take down nations. Always check personal subjective against doctrine.
