Trinity DebateTrinity debateTo answer your questions: 1. Yes, one Divine Spirit and one human spirit (soul). Is that not the case with every born again believer? I have my human spirit (soul) in tact and I have the Holy Ghost dwelling in me as a born again believer. I am still one person but now I have two natures - my own and the Christ-like nature in one body. That is what is meant by "Dual Nature". 2. Jesus as a man on earth had the Spirit of the Father (Divine) and the spirit of a man (Flesh) together in the same body like I explained above. So what happened to the human spirit of Jesus after He died? The same thing that happens when any human being dies. The difference is Jesus was resurrected (as the firstfruits of the resurrection) and believers have not yet been resurrected. What happened when the human body of Jesus was resurrected? The same thing that is going to happen when the saints are resurrected - His old body was changed into a glorified spirit body. His form changed from a limited flesh form to the glorified spirit form. So now we have the ONE God co-existing in two forms presently - ONE omnipresent Spirit (Father) and the glorified form of the Son. That is why Jesus said it was expedient that He go away otherwise the Comforter (Holy Ghost) could not come. Why? Because Jesus in the form of a limited man could not fill the hearts of believers until He took on glorified omnipresent Spirit form. 3. I believe I answered this question above in No. 2 but to clarify: The ONE omnipresent Spirit (Father) as God can take on whatever form He desires whether it be angelic (Angel of the Lord in the O.T.) or flesh (Son before His resurrection) or Glorified Spirit Son (after His resurrection). 4. First of all Oneness does not teach two "Spirits" (watch your capitalization) but a Spirit (Divine) and spirit (human). Again, that is no different than any living born again believer. What do you mean the flesh cannot pray, think or talk? I talk to unsaved flesh every day that is unsaved people who only have a human spirit but no Holy Spirit. Of course they can think and talk. How can I be misleading myself in that? 5. Of course Jesus would have two wills in one body - the same is for any born again believer. The whole life of living for the believer is to submit the flesh to the Spirit. Jesus as a man was simply doing the same thing. That is why He said "Not My will but Thy will". Why? Because His flesh did not want to suffer on the cross. He was sweating beads of blood in the garden when He was praying in anxiety. Again, this goes back to His Dual Nature which the trinity divides up into separate persons. The distinction is between the Divine nature and the human nature. As Deity (Divine nature) He was the Father and as human nature, the Son. |
