Scripture proposed: At Psalms 104:30 it says when God sends forth His spirit things are created.
For or because of God's spirit is then how we exist - Acts of the Apostles 17:28
So, the spirit is Not God Himself but His energy force used to accomplish God's wishes.
Bible writers were moved by...
I believe if you wished to include other scriptures such as the Qu'ran with its statement that Jesus was given a spirit then you would include it under scriptural debates. If yo wish to just debate the Bible then it comes under Biblical debates.
I believe Holy Spirit is often used...
Yes, I believe that the Scriptures that you quoted do testify to the Sprit's work in teaching and strengthening the believer, and that there aren't any other verses that contradict these principles.
The only aversion, or indignation rather, that I have in regard to this are those who claim to be...
Thank you for viewing, and please let me assure you that I was not sure where to post this between scriptural debate, and bible debate. Would there be a better place to put it @Staff Members if it is not in the correct area. May all of you take care, and have a good day.
These are some of the...
Here are some texts on the Person/Being of the Holy Ghost/Spirit:
The Holy Ghost/Spirit, What Does The Bible Say? The Scripture [KJB] listing on the Holy Ghost/Spirit:
"the Holy Ghost" (x90) - Matthew 1:18,20, 3:11, 12:31,32, 28:19; Mark 1:8, 3:29, 12:36, 13:11; Luke 1:15,35,41,67, 2:25,26...
In the English language spirit has more than one meaning.
Pre-human Jesus was a spirit creation, and we are physical creation.
Not a ghost (apparition) but God is a person as per Hebrews 9:24 when resurrected ascended-to-heaven Jesus appeared before the 'person' of God.
Unlike God and Jesus...
Elohim was also used for groups of Canaanite gods, when it was used by Moses he used it to indicate the one God, it was a homonym, spelled and sounded the same but had a different meaning.
As for personifying the Holy Spirit that is no evidence it means a person, the Bible also personifies...
Doesn't change the scriptures in Acts 5 that confirm the Holy Spirit is God. You need more?
The Holy Spirit is a Person - God!
While in Genesis 1:2 we see the "Spirit of God" moving upon the face of the waters during creation (remember God as "Elohim," a plural creator), there is a very...
By saying holy ghost instead of holy spirit makes Gods' spirit come across as an apparition.
In 1833 Noah Webster replaced ghost with spirit because God's spirit is Not an apparition.
Webster wrote that when the words are understood in a sense different from that which they had when introduced...
it has been suggested, so..............
Genesis 2:7
Then the Lord God formed a man from the dust of the ground and breathed(spirited) into his nostrils the Spirit(breath) of life, and the man became a living being.
Nehemiah9:20
You gave your good breath to instruct them. You did not withhold...

Examining the New Testament Use of Old Testament Passages to Demonstrate the Deity of the Lord Jesus Christ
Sam Shamoun
As any Bible-believing Christian already knows (assuming that he has actually carefully studied the entirety of Scriptures) the NT writers often apply OT...
I love the scriptures you provided. Thank you. What you need to realize, if you refer back to my original post perhaps, is that God's general Holy Spirit. as I for this post's purpose state/d it, I take as an integral part of God as our own body members, and I do not see this as a person.
When...
Your ^ above ^ mention of 'God's little finger' reminds me of the Scripture found at Luke 11:20 ' the finger of God '.
I find Luke connects Luke 11:13 B with Luke 11:20 that the ' finger of God ' is the same as the ' spirit of God '.
That seems to connect to Matthew 12:28 saying the spirit of...
...and God's blessings in return. As Psalms 104:30 says God sends forth His spirit, Not sends forth Himself.
I find it interesting that 'God's spirit' is also likened to 'God's finger' such as found at Luke 11:20; Matthew 12:28.
Gods' finger is also mentioned in connection to Exodus 31:18 B...
In order to establish whether the Holy Spirit is a person or not, we must define what constitutes a “person.”
1. A self-conscious or rational being (Oxford English Dictionary)
2. The composite of characteristics that make up an individual personality (American Heritage Dictionary)
3. a living...
