1. person
2. spirit
Spirit: A body that is not terrestrial. Paul explained the difference in I Corinthians 15: 40-53.
2. If a spirit not terrestrial does it mean it is their nature visible or invisible?
2. A spirit is invisible. (It can take on the form of a physical person, at will, just as the angels who appeared to Abraham and Lot.)
2. As spirit is invisible, can it have flesh and bone?
Can the Holy Spirit be referred to as a Person? NO.
An invisible Person cannot have flesh and bone or flesh and anything. No flesh in heaven.
Do you consider yourself a person or not?
How come the Holy Spirit cannot be a person whom He has what you have?

Re: When You Stand Before Jesus, Will You Say To Him "You Are Not God?"
Post #42The Holy Spirit is an emanation from the Father, God, so it has knowledge that the Father has and it can act only in accordance with what the Father has. It does not have knowledge on its own. It is directly the Father's reason and emotion and will. The two are inseparable, focusing on the one Person, Jehovah God, the Father. So it is not a separate Person.Capbook wrote: ↑Sat Jan 11, 2025 3:23 pmI am asking you that because if you are a person whom have the power to reason, emotion and will.onewithhim wrote: ↑Mon Jan 06, 2025 11:28 amI can't imagine why you are asking me that question.

It should had said, "the love and communion of God" to suit your point.
2Co 13:14 The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the communion of the Holy Ghost, be with you all. Amen. The second epistle to the Corinthians was written from Philippi, a city of Macedonia, by Titus and Lucas.

Re: When You Stand Before Jesus, Will You Say To Him "You Are Not God?"
Post #44That is the point. The Holy Spirit is God's thoughts and will. God is referred to as communing with believers, and He would do so by way of His Holy Spirit---His thoughts and will. To see a trinity in this, one would already have to believe in the trinity, and it's biased. Otherwise it is just a reference to Christ and his Father.Capbook wrote: ↑Fri Jan 17, 2025 12:18 pmIf the two are inseparable, why Apostle Paul separately mentioned the three person of the Trinity in his last text of 2nd Corinthians?onewithhim wrote: ↑Mon Jan 13, 2025 12:20 pmThe Holy Spirit is an emanation from the Father, God, so it has knowledge that the Father has and it can act only in accordance with what the Father has.

That's the power of God, we are finite beings we cannot grasp the power of the eternal Spirit God. (Isaiah 55:819)(Heb 9:14)
Isaiah 55:8-9 NLT. “My thoughts are nothing like your thoughts,” says the LORD. “And my ways are far beyond anything you could imagine. For just as the heavens are higher than the earth, so my ways are higher than your ways and my thoughts higher than your thoughts.

Re: When You Stand Before Jesus, Will You Say To Him "You Are Not God?"
Post #46The Bible mentions the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, but that doesn't show that they are all equal or even that they are all Persons. Since the Holy Spirit is God's emanating power to get done what He wants done, it is not a Person. Yes, there are just two to be considered higher than anyone else---the Most High (Psalm 83:18, KJV) and His Son who is the first creation and second only to his Father.Capbook wrote: ↑Tue Jan 21, 2025 11:05 amEven the Bible text mentioned the three, you interpret it just only two?onewithhim wrote: ↑Mon Jan 20, 2025 2:55 pmThat is the point.

So you say that a Person can be divided in unlimited fashion throughout the world? I don't think that portrays an actual Person. A Person is not divided into millions of little Persons the world over, not even 120 times at Pentecost in Peter's day. Don't make God sound ridiculous.

And never in the Bible He was called an "active force". The Word of God addressed the Holy Spirit as "He, Him".
You make your logic of Him ridiculous. I believe Arians do not know how to use "he or him".
"He" or "him" should not be used to refer to things; they are personal pronouns specifically used to refer to a male person, so they are not appropriate for inanimate objects.

Your finite mind underestimate the power of God. Can you see the future? Yes or no?
The Holy Spirit does.(Luke 2:26)
Jhn 14:16 And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, that he may abide with you for ever;
Jhn 14:17 Even the Spirit of truth; whom the world cannot receive, because it seeth him not, neither knoweth him: but ye know him; for he dwelleth with you, and shall be in you
Luk 2:26 And it was revealed unto him by the Holy Ghost, that he should not see death, before he had seen the Lord's Christ.
