If we are physical, we touch, speak, feel, move, push - God does the same with spirit - before the son, that was His only way and His logos, of course. The craftsmen were endowed with spirit gifts to build the tabernacle for one eg. or 'the spirit moved over the waters' - nothing to do with a son. | |

| Feb 4, 2022 at 5:27 | comment | added | Andries | @steveowen Your question about the Holy Spirit is good. But look again at the texts I quoted. Where do you see the Holy Spirit? Surprisingly absent, right? Except that God gives His Spirit through the Son. I did not intentionally exclude the Spirit. I noticed the word "through" in verses such as Heb 1:2 and compiled this list by searching for the word "through" in the NT. I am not an expert with respect to what the Bible teaches about the Spirit. Therefore, I would ask: Why is the Spirit generally absent from verses that describe the relationship between God, His Son, and the creation? | |
| Feb 4, 2022 at 5:13 | comment | added | steveowen | to be fair, it's not my view, but that of scripture - which says nothing about the son pre-existing, but born of Mary. Still, the answer says little of the meaning of the name 'word'. And the other comment...? | |
| Feb 4, 2022 at 5:07 | comment | added | Andries | @steveowen Hi. I know and understand your view that the logos is simply God's plan and purpose that became expressed in the man Jesus Christ. But I think the question assumes that the logos is the pre-existent Son of God, for it says that the title "Son of God" points to His divinity. In your view, the man Jesus Christ is not divine. | |
| Feb 3, 2022 at 21:20 | comment | added | steveowen | God interacts with His creation ONLY through His only begotten Son:, what about the spirit? | |
| Feb 3, 2022 at 21:18 | comment | added | steveowen | You have totally failed to draw any distinction between logos (what the Q is about) and Jesus. They are not the same - they are not synonymous. God created all things through Jesus Christ, is patently wrong - in the sense you imagine! i.e. Jesus being creator. | |
