Who Was Jesus and The Holy Spirit?
- This cannot be answered in a sentence or a blanket statement,
because it involves much scripture throughout the entire Bible.
God is a spirit, John 4:24. We must always keep this in mind,
because it is the pivot point in understanding the Godhead. If
we can understand this one thing then there is no need for us
to be confused when speaking of the Godhead. Remember, you always
come back to this, always. God is a Spirit . A spirit is
invisible.
- In the beginning God. Genesis 1:1
- John 1:1-14 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was
made flesh.
-
Verse 18 of St. John 1, the Son declared the
Father.
-
I Timothy 3:16, Without controversy great is
the mystery of godliness: God was manifesting the flesh, justified
in the Spirit, seen of angels, preached unto the gentiles, believed
on in the world, received into glory.
-
Telling of His birth, Isaiah 9:6.
- Isaiah 7:14, Isaiah said, behold a virgin shall be with child,
and they shall call His name Emanuel, and Isaiah left it there.
In Matt. 1:23 Behold a virgin shall be with child and they shall
call His name Emanuel, which being interpreted is God With Us.
See John 1:14, I Timothy 3:16, Colossians 1:1-6, Colossians 2:8,9,
John 16:25,26.
- Matt.1:18, Mary was found with child of the Holy Ghost, or,
the spirit of God
John 4:24.
- All of God was in Christ:
- John 3:31-36 His spirit was not given to him by measure. All
of the spirit of God was in Jesus Christ.
- Colossians 1:12-20, Colossians 2:8-10
- The body of Jesus Christ was the Son. The Sonship is merely
the body of Jesus life from the Spirit of God. Hebrews 10:1-10,
God prepared Himself a body to dwell in, so that He could be our
sacrifice for sin, once and for all time.
- I Timothy 3:16
- John 14:1-20, Jesus comforts His disciples concerning His
departure, and reveals himself as the Father and the Son. See
John 4:24. The Spirit of God in human flesh. Then He promises
to send the comforter.
- Notice in verse 18, I will come to you. John 4:24, God is
a Spirit, so the Holy Ghost is the Spirit of Christ. John 14:16-26,
Romans 8:9-11 Paul said without the Spirit of Christ you are none
of His. John 16:17, Jesus promised to send the comforter. John
16:25-26, Jesus promised to speak plainly of the Father.
- The comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, John 14:26, will be
sent in Jesus Name.
- John 14:28, Jesus is saying, the Spirit of God that dwells
in this body is greater than this fleshly body. So the Holy Ghost
is the Spirit of God that was in Jesus Christ, and the Spirit
that indwells His people today.
- John 17:6, Jesus said I have manifested thy Name. So Jesus
manifested the Name of Jehovah the Spirit. The Name of the Father,
or the Spirit of God is Jesus.
- The Name of the Father is Jesus. John 5:43; John 17:26; Hebrews
2:12;
Matthew 1:18.
- The Name of the Son is Jesus. Matt. 1:21-23 .
- The Name of the Holy Ghost is Jesus. Luke 1:35. The Holy Ghost
- was the
Father of Jesus. Matt. 1:18. Also see Hebrews
10:5.
- The only begotten Son of God was a man with the Spirit of
God in Him. God incarnate in the flesh. Col. 2:9, Matt.
28:18,19, One Name, and that Name was Jesus. Matt. 28:18 Jesus
said all power is given unto me in Heaven and in earth.
Go ye therefore and teach all nations, Baptizing them in the Name
singular of the Father and of
the Son and of the Holy Ghost. Acts 2:38, Acts 8:16, Acts 10:48,49,
Acts 19:5,6, - ALL the Apostles believed that One Name. In Matt.
28:19 was Jesus Christ. Acts 2:38, Acts 4:12.
