Members phkrause Posted March 9 Members Share Posted March 9 Interesting article!! The Holy Spirit is central to God’s mission. Accordingly, we need a biblical understanding of the identity and nature of the Holy Spirit. This Bible study addresses the following key questions: Is the Holy Spirit a person or a mere force or power of God? Is the Holy Spirit distinct from the Father and Son (Christ)? Is the Holy Spirit truly divine? https://www.adventistworld.org/the-personhood-and-divinity-of-the-holy-spirit/ Quote phkrause By the decree enforcing the institution of the papacy in violation of the law of God, our nation will disconnect herself fully from righteousness. When Protestantism shall stretch her hand across the gulf to grasp the hand of the Roman power, when she shall reach over the abyss to clasp hands with spiritualism, when, under the influence of this threefold union, our country shall repudiate every principle of its Constitution as a Protestant and republican government, and shall make provision for the propagation of papal falsehoods and delusions, then we may know that the time has come for the marvelous working of Satan and that the end is near. {5T 451.1} Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gustave Posted March 10 Share Posted March 10 The Holy Spirit is fully God. It's not a matter of if it's a Person or a force of God, The Holy Spirit is God in the same identical way that the Father and the Son is God. phkrause 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members phkrause Posted March 18 Author Members Share Posted March 18 Here's another interesting article about the Holy Spirit: How to Explain What the Holy Spirit Is Recently, a conversation took place at dinner about the children of Israel and how they ended up in Egypt as slaves. As I shared the story of Joseph and his brothers and how they initially found themselves in Egypt, one of my sons had his phone out and Googled something I said to find out if I was right. https://www.crosswalk.com/faith/spiritual-life/how-to-explain-what-the-holy-spirit-is.html?
