Alpha wrote:During Jesus' baptism (Matthew 3:16-17), the Holy Spirit came on Jesus like a dove, and their was a voice in the cloud saying, "This is my beloved Son in whom I am well pleased." Right there you can see the distinction between the three. Are you saying the Holy Spirit came upon itself? .
The Holy spirit indeed descended on the Son. I'm sure we agree that God is omnipresent. So why is it hard to believe that God can inhabit a body yet still be in heaven? God dwells is all who follow Christ, but He is still in heaven, right?
Are you saying the Father spoke to Himself? Their distinction is the simplest way to interpret those passages. Any other interpretation would require divine revelation and not personal interpretation.
God spoke from heaven, is that hard to believe? Is God unable to be in flesh and still speak from above?
But our commenting on that deep relationship would be speculation unless God has revealed it to you. And if God has revealed a deep truth to you and plans to reveal it to everyone else, authority of your prophethood would be accompanied by signs
Friend, I am not speculating and I am no prophet. God divinely revealed to Paul, but Paul was not a prophet. Scripture says that ALL will be taught of God, but it doesn't say ALL will be prophets. The only way to understand is by divine revelation, which God promised. Man cannot come up with the "simplest way" of understanding spiritual text.
1 Corinthians 2:13 - Which things also we speak, not in the words which man's wisdom teacheth, but which the Holy Ghost teacheth; comparing spiritual things with spiritual.
Now if the Holy Ghost teaches, is it not revelation to the believer?
John 10:27 - My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me:
Revelation 3:20 - Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me.
1 John 2:27 - But the anointing which ye have received of him abideth in you, and ye need not that any man teach you: but as the same anointing teacheth you of all things, and is truth, and is no lie, and even as it hath taught you, ye shall abide in him.
Does all things exclude the deeper wisdom and knowledge, or is it truely ALL THINGS?
Love Always,
