P1 IS THE HOLY SPIRIT A FORCE OR A PERSON | MISCONCEPTIONS THAT LIMIT HIS POWER IN YOUR LIFE 

The churchfathers made a blunder! They didn't get that the HOLY SPIRIT = THE FATHER (who is a spirit) ("God is a spirit" Jn. 4:23,24). No "Lord who gives life" exists! Since the Father is a spirit, Jesus calls Him either "Holy Father" or "Holy Spirit", they are just two EQUIVALENT names for the SAME Person! 1. The blasphemy against the Holy Spirit means blasphemy against the Father, no one was forgotten, 2. The Holy Spirit SPEAKS when Jesus was baptized 3. The Father makes the miracle of the Mary's pregnancy 4. The Father leads Jesus into the desert 5. Jesus CORRECTLY reiterates dozens of times that "God is only made by A. the Father and B. the Son" e.g. "I am not ALONE because the Father is with me". The HOLY SPIRIT = THE FATHER. He is with Jesus. Of course He is mentioned only ONCE by Jesus as "the Father", no one was forgotten.

The Trinity doctrine claims all three persons are co-equal in the Godhead, that all three are equally the same God. But, Jesus has no authority of His own; He has only the authority given to Him by the One, True God, who singularly possesses all authority. So, Jesus is not co-equal. As for a third co-equal person in a Trinity: - A third person has never received any authority from the Father - no third person ever appears on the throne of God with the other two, (which is how Scripture symbolizes Divine authority). - A third person is never included as being one with the Father and Son (as those two repeatedly are). - A third person never receives or is directed to receive worship. - A third person, who is God, does not have even one personal name, in either Testament (Almighty God and The Son have personal names). - If the third person, in a Trinity, is equal to the Father in every way, has the same essence, nature and Spirit, etc, and all the same power, then Almighty God duplicated Himself, and that is impossible - He shares His Glory with no other. If he does not have equal authority and power, but only specific duties, then this third person is NOT co-equal God: (Isa 42:8) _I am the LORD: that is my name:_ *and my glory will I not give to another,* ... - Jesus is the ONLY Mediator between God and men. No third person has ever received authority to usurp that role. Not even Jesus can delegate that authority, so there is no third person go-between, from or to God, and men. There are two in this verse, not three: (1Tim 2:5) For *there is one God,* *_and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus;_* - The Holy Spirit is the Father's Spirit, and the Son's Spirit. Neither of their Spirits are a separate person: The Roman Catholic priests who translated the King James Bible from Greek {which has words that have a gender), into English (that has no gendered words), made the Spirit into a man (to fit the Trinity bias) instead of properly translating the noun spirit as a neutral "it". His Spirit, is not a person, “it” is neither male nor female, (they offered some correctly translated verses, and they should all have been correct). Romans 8:16 KJV The *Spirit itself* beareth witness with our spirit, that we are the children of God: (Rom 8:26) Likewise *the Spirit* also helpeth our infirmities: for we know not what we should pray for as we ought: but *the Spirit itself* maketh intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered. - Is Jesus Christ's Spirit another person? No, “it” is not a person. (Jesus, “Himself”, is a person, so “He” is the correct pronoun). His Spirit is a “supply”, a quantity, not another person: 1 Peter 1:11 Searching what, or what manner of time the *Spirit of Christ* which was in them did signify, when *_it testified_* beforehand the sufferings of Christ, and the glory that should follow. (Phil 1:19) For I know that this shall turn to my salvation through your prayer, and *the supply of the Spirit of Jesus Christ,* (Gal 4:6) But because you are sons, God sent out *the spirit of his son in your hearts,* crying out, Abba father. (Heb 9:14) How much more shall the blood of Christ, who through *the eternal Spirit* offered himself without spot to God,... - Neither is the Most High's Spirit another person: (John 1:32) And John bare record, saying, *I saw the Spirit* descending from heaven like a dove, and *it abode* upon him. (Acts 2:17) And it shall come to pass in the last days, saith God, *I will pour out of **_my Spirit_** upon all flesh:* ... (Matt 10:20) For it is not ye that speak, but the *Spirit of your Father* which speaketh in you. - When did Jesus ever pray for three of them to be one? When did Jesus pray for us to be one with three of them? There are only two persons in the Godhead, The Father and The Word (who later became flesh). John 17:21 KJV *That they all may be one; as thou, Father, art in me, and I in thee, that they also may be one in us:* that the world may believe that thou hast sent me. John 10:30 KJV *I and my Father are one.* Here was a supreme opportunity for the Apostle to tell us to fellowship with a three person God, but He did not: 1 John 1:3 KJV ... *truly our fellowship is with the Father, and with his Son Jesus Christ.*

"Then I will come down and speak with you there, and I will take of the Spirit who is upon you, and will put Him upon them; and they shall bear the burden of the people with you, so that you will not bear it all alone." -Numbers 11:17 (NASB). The NIV replaces "who" with "that" and "Him" with "it" which I wish they hadn't changed the pronouns here.
