The spirit of Christ is a REFLECTION of the spirit of God. The spirit of God (the Father) is NOT ‘THE Spirit’ of Christ. There is only one spirit of God … by doing the Will of God, the spirit of the Jesus mirrors the Will of God… and therefore if we do the Will of God then our spirit, too, will mirror the spirit of God… and thus mirror the spirit of Jesus.
There is only one Spirit of God, as you say, but the Bible shows us that the Spirit of God is the Spirit of Christ. The Bible says there is one Spirit (Eph 4:4-6) and when Christians are given the Spirit of God we have the Spirit of Christ.
Why Is the Holy Spirit Called,
But you make it out that the spirit is a single ENTITY spirit which is in both God and Jesus…. And would therefore be in us…. I bet you didn’t think past Jesus to think that if the spirit of God in Jesus and God and is then that would make us God, too… by your false ideology!!
No, how can we ever be God, we are creations of God. Christians are united with Christ and so united to each other as the body of Christ.
1Cor6:16 Or don’t you know that he who unites himself with a prostitute is one with her in body? For it is said, “The two will become one flesh.” 17But he who unites himself with the Lord is one with Him in spirit.
We don't become Jesus when we have His Spirit, so why do you think that having the Spirit of God makes us into God.
Lying to God IS lying to the SPIRIT of God because The spirit of God IS TRUTH.
Of you lie about a truth then you are most definitely LYING TO GOD.
That is why it is said that you should not GREIVE the spirit of God: Do not GRIEVE THE SPIRIT OF TRUTH because the Spirit of truth is the Spirit of God!
Can you see the word ‘OF’? It is a possessive word. It most certainly does not mean that something that is OF another IS that thing if is possessed from.
The spirit is the property of God. It therefore cannot BE GOD that possesses it.
If a person lies to the FACE (spirit) OF BRIAN2 (God), you would have to say then that Brian2’s (God’s) FACE (spirit) is ANOTHER BRIAN2 (God).
But your FACE is not YOU, it is but a facet (excuse the pun) OF you!!
I find it hard to understand your argument.
