Timeline for Jesus says, that God the Father is a Spirit AND Paul says there is one (1) Spirit. How do trinitarians understand who or what the Holy Spirit is?

| Feb 27, 2023 at 1:28 | comment | added | AncientGiantPottedPlant | @ReadLessPrayMore And you know what that 1 Truth is from.....what? Your own prejudices? Your church tradition? Rolling dice? | |
| Feb 27, 2023 at 1:16 | comment | added | Read Less Pray More | @AncientGiantPottedPlant correction: the 1 Truth... not my truth. And again.... I'm not concerned with the exact words from each translator. | |
| Feb 26, 2023 at 20:50 | comment | added | AncientGiantPottedPlant | @ReadLessPrayMore Right, so you're getting the exact words from your idea of the truth rather than the reverse? | |
| Feb 26, 2023 at 19:56 | comment | added | Read Less Pray More | @AncientGiantPottedPlant I'm more interested in the 1 Truth than the exact words. The words aren't as imporitant as understanding the true ideas they convey. | |
| Feb 26, 2023 at 18:31 | comment | added | AncientGiantPottedPlant | @ReadLessPrayMore Ah, so you endorse adding words to fit your theology, as long as you consider it rational? Tell me more about that. I say that if a sentence is grammatically sound and comprehensible, you shouldn't alter God's Word. Tell me what 'rationally sound' means other than 'fits my theology'. | |
| Feb 26, 2023 at 8:39 | comment | added | Read Less Pray More | @AncientGiantPottedPlant very single translator has inserted words... dontcha know? Are you hung up on a single article that is rationally sound? Do you not think the Father is a Spirit? What is He then? Please enlighten us. | |
| Feb 25, 2023 at 20:38 | comment | added | AncientGiantPottedPlant | @ReadLessPrayMore Do you support inserting extra words into the Bible in general, or is this a special case? | |
| Feb 25, 2023 at 19:25 | comment | added | Read Less Pray More | @AncientGiantPottedPlant Are you saying the Father is not a person? If He is, and He is Spirit, then He is also "a" Spirit unless you can explain what else HE is. This answer says YHWH is not a person but 3 persons. 3 persons = 1 God according to this answer. Some would call that 3 gods in all rationality. | |
| Feb 21, 2023 at 2:17 | comment | added | AncientGiantPottedPlant | No. Otherwise the Bible would say He's "a" spirit. Why do you guys add that article when it isn't there in the Greek? | |
| Feb 20, 2023 at 21:45 | comment | added | Read Less Pray More | @AncientGiantPottedPlant Is the Father not "a" Spirit? He is a person. And if He is not completely Spirit then is He also of some other material? | |
| Feb 20, 2023 at 2:18 | comment | added | AncientGiantPottedPlant | Mat 10:20 refers to the Holy Spirit. You're confused because you've inserted an 'a' into "The Father is spirit" which doesn't exist in the Greek. | |
| Oct 17, 2022 at 6:46 | comment | added | Read Less Pray More | You really think the Spirit of the Father has nothing to do with the indwelling within the body? What about Matthew 10:20 For it is not ye that speak, but the Spirit of your Father which speaketh in you. | |
