Quote This also reminds me of a study I did on the verbs surrounding the Holy Spirit which is proof the Spirit is a person. I will post it here since Davids argument is the Holy Spirit being mentioned in Matt 28:19 is not a person.So if the Spirit is not a person then why did the translators translate Jn 16:13 and others with the personal…[Read more]

Let's look at this in point form:POINT FORM:-The Bible doesn't say the holy spirit is God.–The Bible gives no indication that the holy spirit was worshiped.–The Jews and the Hebrew Scriptures give no hint even that the holy spirit is a person, much less that it is worshiped as God. (They viewed God’s spirit as something God possesses.)–The h…[Read more]

MATTHEW 12:28“But if it is by means of GOD'S SPIRIT that I expel the demons, the kingdom of God has really overtaken YOU.”LUKE 11:20“But if it is by means of GOD'S FINGER I expel the demons, the kingdom of God has really overtaken YOU.”The “spirit of God” is synonymous with the “hand” and “the finger” of God (Ezek. 3:14; Job 26:13; Ps. 8:3; Luk…[Read more]

The fact that the Bible does not explicitly mention, explain or teach a trinity is in itself strong proof that the trinity teaching is false. And this is also borne out by what the Bible teaches regarding the holy spirit.God’s Word will help us and guide us to a correct understanding of the holy spirit. The correct identification of the holy s…[Read more]

Quote Keith,I wonder what David would say about Jesus' use of the personal pronoun “ekeinos” in John 14:26? Jesus said of the Spirit that “HE (ekeinos) shall testify of Me.”Observations:1.

Quote And it is also an error to say that Jesus's mandate doesnt prove anything about the Trinity. Its not a suggestion, its an order. –dennisonI do not know why people keep saying this.

sorry Rokka,I am still responding to things on page 4. If I jump around, people will accuse me of not answering their questions. I'm almost done, but it's 2:00 AM here, so I will come back to this tommorow. But I will just finish responding to Dennison.

. . . .my conclusion is.That your Right: That one verse does not prove that the early Apostles believed in the Trinity.–DennisonThat is all I set out for in this thread. WJ systematically says that this scripture is clear evidence of the trinity. Others believe it is among the best evidence of the trinity.I believe it proves we can count to three.

Quote To say that its only Gods finger… i mean a finger limits God.dennison, I did not say it's “only” God's finger. The Bible used that word to refer to God's holy spirit. I think you are comparing the strength of your finger to God's. That is silly.
