#20 How is no worship offered to the Holy Spirit in scripture?

I understand that binitarian is the historic designation of the beliefs of the apostles and disciples. Not a bad label to wear, if you ask me.

Hi brother,

I guess it has been a couple of days since I checked email. Sorry for the delay.

When I think of the Being of God, I think of the Spirit that is the Being. The Being of the Lord Jesus is the Spirit of God, the same Spirit / Being that is of the Father and resides beyond creation.

Jesus is God by the Spirit of God that is in Him. Jesus is the I AM: before Abraham was. By Him all that have their being are made and held together. He is the "Face" of the Father that nobody sees.

find sad. People speak with authority about a race of people they really know nothing about apart from the fact most were killed during wartime. People second guess Jewish beliefs, and its the reason we have so many conflicting views on the bible. Forget about the bible for five minutes and do some research. Being a Jew means the world to me, and it upsets me when I hear people teaching things about my people that simply is not true.

Hello. From what you said, I can only assume you saw the companion episode, or that when you do, you will really love it.

Blessings ...

One of the greatest mysteries for me, and will remain a mystery to me for the rest of my life, is how Jewish or Hebrew custom is understood a million times better than the Jews themselves. Of course I'm being a little tongue in cheek here. Judaism has become a religion to separate it from Christianity. Prior to that, it was simply the beliefs of a race of people like any other race. The only thing Western people really know about jewish people is what they see in the bible, which I personally ..

life, teaching, and ambitions being carried on by us his followers. In the same way our deceased parents spirit lives on in us, and we commit to continue their life justice by continuing their good work, so we do the same with Jesus. This term is called "the Holy Spirit" or "the Holy Spirit working through us"

the human equivilent of God. In a Christian sense, Jesus is called "our God". He is seen as the one who we can relate to as humans, as Jesus was also. He is called "totally God, totally human". The Holy Spirit if you like is the "Jesus in us". Jesus bought the nature of God to us as a human. We understand God though Jesus because he was flesh and blood like us. A Christian is called to be like Jesus, and by being like Jesus, we call this the "work of the Holy Spirit" or if you like, Jesus ....

The Trinity is so misunderstood, it is tragic. It is so simple, but when you hear people try to explain it they tend to lose the plot so to speak, primarily because they become lost in the theology they have been listening to all their lives.

The Father is God, the creator. Jesus is the Son. A human being who was deemed by many to be the Messiah, a belief held within the Jewish cultural belief system, that a man would be born who would be human Godly. In other words, not God, but if you...

Yes they read and knew Dueteronomy 6:4 so they DID NOT think Almighty God to be a trinity Godhead. They knew that God was 1 person. As the scripture brings out!

[Gsusbaaby]

Wherefore I say unto you, All manner of sin and blasphemy shall be forgiven unto men: but the blasphemy against the Holy Ghost shall not be forgiven unto men. 32 And whosoever speaketh a word against the Son of man, it shall be forgiven him: but whosoever speaketh against the Holy Ghost, it shall not be forgiven him, neither in this world, neither in the world to come.

Holy Spirit sounds mighty important if you ask me...

[LettersMedia]

yes indeed.

... but few understand why that is. That is why I made the companion video to this episode,

[JAKEV25]

Hmmm....I think basically you are saying that the trinity should be one less....is that right?

I don't recall anywhere that Christ taught anyone to worship him...He always pointed them to the Father.

"I do not accept praise from men", John 5:41

Honor yes...worship no...

[LettersMedia]

That is a good observation that may tie in with the companion video that I will record very soon. Thanks!

[slavell19]

Actually when you read in the KJV john5;41 says I recieve not HONOUR from men. And we see often when Jesus doesnt rebuke people from Praising him like Trent, has said. Im not A KJV only person, I read other translations for devotional purposes but for study the Kjv is a WORD FOR WORD translation not a PHRASE BY PHRASE TRANSLATION LIKE MOST MODERN BIBLES. So it is closer to the original Text.

[LettersMedia]

yeah ... new cam. Don't let it scare you off. LOL.
