The Holy Spirit, a separate person, essence of God, or force?

[kerwin]

Nick,

Yes.

I was referencing Titus 3:9, 1 Timothy 6:4, and 2 Timothy 2:14 in my previous post.

Hi KW,

Yes.

The ways of God are not those of men.

[NickHassan]

Hi KW,

Man cannot obey the teachings without the empowering of the Spirit.

Flesh contributes nothing

[Ed J]

Q)Who really is the Holy Spirit?

A) God

“But Peter said, Ananias, why hath Satan filled thine heart to lie to the HolySpirit,
and to keep back part of the price of the land? Whiles it remained, was it not thine own?
and after it was sold, was it not in thine own power? why hast thou conceived this
thing in thine heart? thou hast not lied unto men, but unto God.” (Acts 5:3-4)

How can you lie to a person’s spirit but not the person whose spirit it is?

Exactly

Ed J,

Then would you call my body me?

You are correct for no matter how hard he tries he will pick and chose what strictures to do and which not to do for that is the way of the carnal nature.

[NickHassan]

Hi,
God pours of His Spirit[jl2 ]to unite all in Him.
There is no other safe place

[kerwin]

Nick,

The ways of God are not those of men.

Yes, as man falls short of God’s while the God’s Sons when fully mature do not.

[NickHassan]

Hi KW,
WITH HIM?
God was IN CHRIST reconciling the world to Himself.

[kerwin]

Nick,

True.

[kerwin]

Nick,

Yes, Jesus does and says what he sees God doing and saying.

[NickHassan]

Hi KW,
Not by imitation but by the Spirit.
The flesh contributes nothing

[NickHassan]

Hi,
All the works of God are by the Spirit.
We are offered an opportunity to be useful to God and share the rewards

[kerwin]

Nick,

I do believe that Jesus does all he does by walking but the Spirit but I was echoing his words.

John 5:19Authorized (King James) Version (AKJV)

19 Then answered Jesus and said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, The Son can do nothing of himself, but what he seeth the Father do: for what things soever he doeth, these also doeth the Son likewise.

[NickHassan]

Hi KW,
In complete harmony with God

[kerwin]

Nick,

Yes!

[NickHassan]

Hi KW,
Yes walk while the light is with you.
Darkness comes

[NickHassan]

HUI,
All in Christ are chosen.
each is given a role in the body

[Camillia]

Nick,

Are you making God like men?

For who knows a person’s thoughts except the spirit of that person, which is in him? In the same way, no one comprehends the thoughts of God except the Spirit of God.

K

you say that man cannot obey God without the holy spirit of truth ?

wrong,he can to a certain extent ,but the ones that have no truth in them will never be able to understand even the slightest meaning of God’s truth

being truthful is a choice ,just as all the other things ,in righteousness
