    Hi CA,
    Implication is individual and and logic too  and neither have never been any form of proof
    The Spirit proceeds from God.


    NH

    So what does it tell you about the Spirit then?

    And now that the Spirit is subservient to Jesus, what does that tell you about Jesus?

    Hi WJ,
    The Spirit proceeds from God through Jesus to unite all in his body with God.[1Cor12. Jn 17]
    In that Spirit we can learn of the deep things of God and we are helped in our prayers to God.[1Cor2. Rom 8]
    That Spirit graces us with the gifts and the ability to produce useful fruit in the vine.[Jn15. 1Cor 12 .gal5]
    That Spirit of God abides forever in us and will raise us if we walk in the ways of God and are faithful to the teachings.[2Jn9. Heb12]

    The Spirit as the Father's influence can manifest itself in many ways.

    The holy Spirit was used to baptize 'Elohim's people(Mat 3:11; Acts 1:5; 2:2-3; 10:44-48). It fills them (Acts 2:4; Eph 5:18), is poured out on them (Acts 2:17, 18, 33; Joel 2:28, 29), abides in and dwells in them (John 14:17; Rom 8:9,11; 1 Cor 3:16), is upon them (John 1:32-33; Acts 19:6) and they are in it (Rom 8:9, 14, 17; Gal 3:3).

    The holy Spirit is used to anoint (Psa 133: 1-2; Luke 4:18; Isa 61:1; 2 Cor 1:21; 1 John 2:20-27).

    'Elohim's people drink it (1 Cor 12:13).

    It is the down payment they make on their inheritance (2 Cor 1:22; 5:5; Eph 1:14, see margin), that which seals them (Eph 1:13, 4:30).

    It is the symbolic ink whereby they are inscribed as living epistles (2 Cor 3:3), and is given to them and they possess it (Luke 11:13).

    It is like dew (Psa 113:3).

    This does not fit the description of a person.

    CT……Yes Spirit is (INTELLECT) Power given by ONE GOD. It is part of GOD'S mind added into us . “Let this mind be in you which was in Christ Jesus our Lord”. It is the very (INTELLECT) of GOD HIMSELF> Poured out into US, GOD can pour out himself into us, very much like a waiter can add water to our glasses of water and fill them. So can GOD pour forth of himself in ALL His CREATION. In fact it is GOD that animates all creation that has life and he sustains it even now. IMO

    You should look up what “Phoneo” is defined as since intellect does not seem to be one of its definitions.  The closest one to that is wisdom.  

    In my opinion the appropriate definition for Philippians 2:5 is:

    I believe it is more important to know what definition of “intellect” you happen to be using as you are the one making the point. Would you please share it with us. Thank you.

    Kerwin……… The definition is the ability to think and drive abstract thought. Read CT above explanation and understand intellect is your very being, that reasons it is what Spirit is and is (expressed) in word and deeds. Just as there are seven types or aspects of Spirit so it is with intellects, Your intellects are what guides you thoughts they produce the thoughts in your mind they are what SPIRIT is. IMO

    Have you got several intellects?
    Do they all have seven aspects?

    How odd

    Nick…….. Fact is we have many of the intellects of GOD. What odd is your lack of understanding that. IMO Do you even know what an aspect (IS)? It is obvious you don't know what intellect is. This may help you an aspect is a particular part of some understand . You mouth off allot, but yet you have not produced any definition of what Spirit is. Why is the NICK.

    To All………The reason i use Intellect in the definition of Spirit , is because of the false teaching of Spirit is a Being. I believe there is not such thing as a “SPIRIT BEINGS”, i believe Spirit is what is (IN) beings , and animates beings. It is the intellect that Beings have. All things that have life have Spirit in them, they can die but the spirit can't, it leaves at the point of death. When a man dies His Thoughts Parish, and his intellect (Spirit) goes back to him who gave. He is in a state of non existence and will remain that way until GOD the FATHER creates Him a new body and adds spirit back into it. My point by saying Spirit is Intellect is to show the separation between a BODY and the SPIRIT in it. IMO

    peace and love to you all………………..gene

    Nick………So to you what Jesus said a WORD (IS) does not make sense to you right? Maybe if you could look Up the deffinition is of word tha would help you, understand what SPIRIT IS. I have “ADD” nothing to what scripture says, it's you lack of understanding what Scriptue say is the problem. IMO
