When the word spirit occurs in scripture it is never the purpose of the Spirit is a person with OWN NAME! Ergo, the Trinity is unscriptural!
I do not think God is stupid, therefore I also rejected the Trinity of three equal Gods in one common Triad God. We read in Scripture that God reviewers man with one Spirit, just as Satan and Antichrist, and himself and his beloved Son Jesus Christ. When word Spirit comes up in Scripture, it is NEVER under any circumstances mentioned with the aim that the Spirit is a person with OWN NAME! Ergo, the Trinity is unscriptural! Illustrative image shows God the Father and Jesus Christ, the only ones we will meet in heaven when they are referred to in Scripture as individuals with their own names. Then expect, believe and I am convinced that they are as human beings, people even though God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ is so much bigger, and more than our intellect holds and passes
1 Cor. 2 10 But God hath revealed them unto us by his Spirit. For the Spirit searches all things, even the depths of God: 11 For what man knows what living in a man, save the spirit of man which is in him? So do not what living in God, without the Spirit of God; 12 but we have not got the spirit, we have received the Spirit who is from God, that we might know the things that are given to us by God, 13 that we also speak, not in words which man's wisdom teaches, but in words which the Holy Ghost teacheth; comparing spiritual things with spiritual. 14 But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness to him, and he can not know them, because they are spiritually discerned 15 but the spiritual judgeth all things, but he himself is judged of no man 16 who hath known the mind of the Lord, that he may instruct him? But we have the mind of Christ.
From Norwegian Encyclopedia of the Holy Spirit:
The Holy Spirit in the Christian trinity doctrine the third person in the Godhead. The doctrine of the Holy Spirit called pneumatologi (of gr. 'Spirit').
Biblical perspectives
In the Bible mention Spirit (s), the Spirit of God and the Spirit, and the Holy Spirit designation is rare. In the Old Testament the spirit is God's power and also the divine breath that awakens Adam to live. Since living man between God inhalation and exhalation, man has spirit, it is God's breath of life in them. It depends to what extent this allows for a dualistic understanding of the relationship between spirit and body (flesh), the divine spark and earthly, physical corruption. Modern attempts to develop an ecological theology uses this perspective to emphasize the Spirit immanent (inherent) presence in creation. Spirit as the divine life-item general. It can also be a gift that gives special power and inspiration to leadership, to prophecy, to insight and wisdom. Ecstasy is often perceived as a manifestation of the spirit, but the ambiguity of such phenomena leading to a need for interpretation, to "try the spirits whether they are of God" (1 John 4:1). In the early church it was customary to regard ecstatic expressions, for example. tongues, as the special spiritual gifts (charisms). Paul does not contradict this, but turn your attention from ecstasy to ethics. The premier gifts are faith, hope and love (1 Corinthians 12-14), which characterizes life in the spirit. Baptism is the initiation of this life, and the Christian Church / Church is the community where life in the spirit unfolds. Spirit's utterances in this life is secured in the coming resurrection life. As God once created the world by His Spirit, the reconceived by the same spirit (Lat. creator spiritus).
It is a hallmark of salvation time that the special spirit fittings extended to all, including those who usually were not given authority (cf. Joel 3, Acts 2:17 ff.). God's sovereign granting of spiritual power is also a source of increasing tension between a direct spiritual based and a more institutional authority. Ecumenical strategy has usually been to link the spirit of the practice and interpretation of established authority. But theologically it is hard to deny that the Holy Spirit can not be limited to human plans and expectations. Throughout church history there has been movements that have meant the empowered by the spirit of change and transformation.
In the New Testament the spiritual presence of the sign of salvation, the time is near. Jesus is filled with the spirit, and after his death his disciples receive the Spirit as an expression of God's continued presence and ministry among them. Through the Spirit fitted them to carry out the mission they have received (Acts 2; Jn 20, 21 ff.). When the believers later invokes the spirit (epiclesis), recalled åndsutgytelsen in the liturgy. In John's Gospel is called the Holy Ghost the Comforter (Paraclete gr.) or the Spirit of Truth who will guide the disciples into all truth after Jesus is gone, and show the world what is sin, law and judgment. Spirit is here primarily revelation and recognition function.
In church history Spirit in the early church creed
In the early church developed the doctrine of the Holy Spirit for the purpose of realization of the divine truth and revelation, appropriation of salvation (soteriology), kirkesyn and Sacrament management (ecclesiology), the Christian life (ethics) and the hope of resurrection and eternal life (eschatology). This is enshrined in the creeds third article. It also affirming faith in the Holy Spirit as a third person in the Godhead as the council of Constantinople 381 stated. In the Western church tradition
Throughout the history of theology, especially in the Western church, it appears as if the theological treatment of the Spirit many real fields have been at the expense of a more direct and explicit pneumatologi. It has not been easy to maintain a personalt language of the Holy Spirit, who iconographic often portrayed as a dove (cf. Mt 3:16). In the Western tradition of St. Augustine, who understood the Holy Spirit as the unifying love of Godhead, the Spirit consistently relationally or functionally determined. It also dominates a salvation history (salvation economic) placement of the Spirit. This means that the Spirit continues and unfolds the work of Christ and is subordinate to Christ. Christology (doctrine of Christ) dominates and controls pneumatologien.
Reformation meant a further Christological concentration, and Lutheran theology linked the Holy Spirit especially to the notice of God's word. It is the spirit in the preaching of the word "driver to Christ" and creates faith and new life. Also sanctification of the Spirit is sovereign work; spiritual role supports the principle of God's grace alone. The idealistic philosophy of religion (see Hegel), later confronted by dialectical theology, developed a special interpretation of the relationship between spirit, reason and history where the spirit (one) is seen as the driving force in history. Relations with the Eastern Churches vision
The difference between Western and Eastern traditions deepened when the Western church added filioque (Spirit emanates not from the Father alone, but from the Father and the Son) to the Nicene Creed of 800's. This contributed to the church schism between the Eastern and Western Church. For the eastern tradition (the Orthodox churches) implies filioque one gainsay of the Holy Ghost, independence, and reduces the Trinity theology to a mirror image of the salvation historical development. Conflict and Renewal
The controversy about the filioque and the Spirit of Christ mapping highlights key differences in views on the relationship between God, the Church and the world / creation, and the relationship between revelation and history. The question is, for example. the Holy Spirit is at work in the world and the story regardless of Christ. In the ecumenical conversation filioque is a recurring theme, and dialogue between East and West has contributed to a renewed thematization of the doctrine of the Holy Spirit, and has stimulated a growing interest in spirituality. Some believe that Western theology is about to regain pneumatologiens importance. Also feminist theology has used the Holy Spirit as the basis for a new interpretation of the Trinity (end of quote).

What is the Holy Spirit?
Throughout the Bible we find many reference to spirits. We do not find any description of the spirit as a person. But it is the one that creates events in time. The Bible, the terms Ruah / Pnevma, which can also be used for moving air (wind).
In older sister religions were all these spiritual qualities often named their own God's name. In Norway today, we put it in a large bag with the tag of the Holy Spirit, for your convenience. In English, distinction is a bit on "The holy ghost / The holy spirit" bit depending on what you have spent on the original text. You should almost say in Norwegian that Mary was conceived by the Holy Ghost, and by the day of Pentecost the Holy Spirit came, it seems a bit more logical than that Jesus would send something that had already been there nine months before he was born.
Some of the spirits we meet in the Bible have different tasks. Here are some examples:
Spirit of God (Gen. 1 1.2 / ruch Elohim) Spirit of the Lord (Judges 3.10 / ruch JHVA) Wisdom spirit (Isa. 11.2 / ruch chkme) Wit's spirit (Isa. 11.2 / ruch Ubin) Council Spirit (Isaiah 11.2 / Ruch ubin) Strengthen Spirit (Isaiah 11, 2 / ruch Otze) Science spirit (Isa. 11.2 / ruch u.gbure) Fears spirit (Isa. 11.2 / ruch u.irath) Judgment spirit (Isa. 4.4 / ruch mshpht) The Spirit (Isaiah 4.4 / rush live) Mercy spirit (Case 12,10 / rush chn) The spirit of prayer (Case 12,10 / ruch u-thcnumim) The good spirit (Neh 9.20 / ruch e.tube) The Holy Spirit (Ps. 51, 11 / rush qdsh) Spirit of Truth (Jn 14,17 / pneuma atEtheias) Faith Spirit (2 Cor 4,13 / pneuma pisteOs) The spirit of revelation (Eph. 1.17 / pneuma sofias) Glory Spirit (1 Pet 4.14 / pneuma doxEs) Spokespersons's spirit (Jn 14,26 / pneuma parakletos) The Holy Ghosts (Mat 1, 18 / pneumatos hagiou) The Holy Spirit (Eph 1.13 / pneumati Hagios) Jesus Spirit (Gal 4.6 / pneuma huiou) The wind / spirit has gotten a lot of tasks in NT: Convincing about sin (John 16:8) Generate the new birth (John 3.5 to 6) Witness the new birth (Romans 8.16 Clean Heart (App 15.8 to 9) Pour the love of God (Romans 5:5) Give the power of prayer. (Rom 8,26) Give power to witness for Christ (App 1.8) transform and glorify the Christian life (2 Corinthians 3:18) Renew (Titus 3:5) Mentoring (John 16:13) Comforter (John 14:16) Ephesians letter samples on their way to explain this wind works:
Seal, (Ephesians 1:13) The Information (Eph. 1.17) Community (Eph. 2.18) Kraft (Eph. 3:16) Fylde (Eph. 5:18) Sword (Eph. 6.17) Prayer (Eph 6,18) During periods of life, we use these spiritual qualities differ.
In raising children states that children learn not by what the adults say, they see only what one does and learn from it. In the same way it is with our Father in Heaven. We can read us a lot, but we see only what he is doing among us through their spirits in one form or another and think because of it.
What is currently the most important task of the Holy Spirit with you?
In most places where the words Ruach and Pneuma occurs, they are used of God's spirit, his active force, his holy spirit.
It was only in the 300s e.v.t. the doctrine that the Holy Spirit is a person and a part of the "deity", was officially accepted as a religious dogma. The older "church fathers" maintained no such doctrine. The 100's Justin Martyr taught that the Holy Spirit was 'deity influence or behavior'. Nor Hippolytus wrote to the Holy Spirit some personality. Bible books show in consensus that the holy spirit is not a person but God's active force, which he uses to carry out its purpose and will.
Jesus spoke of the holy spirit as a "helper" and said that this helper would "teach", "witness", provide "convincing evidence", "lead", "speech", 'hear' and 'get'. It appears from the Greek text that Jesus in that regard sometimes used the personal pronoun in the masculine gender of this "helper" (paraklet). (Cf. Jn 14: 16, 17, 26, 15, 26, 16: 7-15.) But the Bible is not unusual for something that is not a person, being personified. Wisdom is personified in the book of Proverbs (1: 20-33; 8: 1-36), and female forms of the pronoun is used here about it in the Hebrew text and also in many translations. (KJ, RS, JP, AT; see also Ord 8: 2, EN, DE.) Wisdom is also personified in Matthew 11: 19 and Luke 7: 35, where it is described as having both "works" and " children ". The Apostle Paul spoke of both sin and death and grace as "kings". (Row 5: 14, 17, 21, 6: 12) He says about sin that it "got a chance", 'caused covetousness', "enticed" and "killed". (Ro 7: 8-11) It is nevertheless clear that Paul did not mean that sin is a person.
Jesus' words about the Holy Spirit, as John referenced, must also be seen in the context they are in. Jesus personified the Holy Spirit when he spoke of the spirit as a "helper" (Gr. parakletos, masculine). It is therefore rightly John in his rendering of Jesus' words used in the masculine pronouns when he refers to the spirit as a "helper". When however the Greek word pneuma is used in the same context, John uses a pronoun in the neuter of the Holy Spirit, as pneuma is a intetkjønnsord. The fact that John uses a personal pronoun in the masculine gender when he refers to parakletos is therefore an example that he follows the grammatical rules, and thus has no doctrinal significance. - Jn 14: 16, 17, 16, 7, 8 (Article finish).
Final comment: As I see it, and that the Bible teaches, then the Spirit of God present everywhere. We see God in nature and in its creation. We saw and sees his advantage everywhere and how he is, he is also the origin of all creation.
The sun can not heat the whole earth, it needs only down about. 1 km. But there is a volcanic mountain that goes through all the earth to warm up the rest so that it is fish and other plants in deeper water than 1 km down, is not God great? How can we say that the Holy Spirit is a person? But when it comes to the antichrist spirit that also works? When we understand that there is a person we are dealing with, but a Spirit and a mental activity that gets people to think and act in a direction that is consistent with the Ondes will!
But we believe in the Holy Spirit, but then, as God's active force. That the Catholic Church began to acquire the Holy Spirit which we are biblically coverage, it should make us realize that this is the doctrine of the Trinity is a delusion. But let us could not miss the blessing it is to experience God's power and truth of God in their lives. Just wish to include some thoughts here about conditions at Trinity: God is Jesus' father. Luke tells of the angel Gabriel's message to the Virgin Mary: "Behold, you shall conceive and bear a son, and shalt call his name Jesus. He will be great and called the Son of the Highest. Lord God shall give unto him the throne of his father David: . " (Luk.1; 31-32).
And again we read, "And Mary said to the angel: How shall this be, seeing I know not a man? Angel answered and said unto her, The Holy Ghost shall come upon thee, and the power of the Highest will overshadow you. Therefore, also that holy thing which shall be born called the Son of God. " (V.34-35). According to the Trinity, the Holy Spirit, the third person in this doctrine. But if the Spirit is a person, has to be the father of Jesus. The angel gives a clear presentation of what the Holy Spirit is "the power of the Highest". It was God who by His power leads to the fact that Jesus was born as the Son of God. Martin Luther and several other reformers reformed not thorough enough, but was still under the influence of some false doctrines of the Roman church. But Bible readers after the Reformation claimed that the Trinity is contrary both to Scripture and to reason.
Treenighetslærens origin
At a council held in Nicaea year 325, Emperor Constantine forced through the delegates would accept the Trinity, which then consisted of father, mother and son. The Holy Ghost was first made to a person incorporated in the Trinity at a synod in Constantinople 381 years Maria was also taken out of the Trinity, and proclaimed to be the "queen of heaven". This explains the Catholic Church's culture of Mary as "Mother of God". In 1950-51 proclaimed that same Church Feast of the Assumption, an unfair and untrue claim that a secular world made not reacted so far we are from our standpoint in Norway know. Church History tells us that the Christian world in the time of Constantine was heavily influenced by Greek philosophy in several areas, while it was willing to accommodate pagan beliefs to make Christianity more appealing to the great masses.
The Catholic claim
A large part of the Christian world believe in the Catholic claim that belief in the Trinity is a prerequisite for salvation. Let us look at what this doctrine is all about: "God is one and yet three, three and one dog, three persons in one substance. Everyone is equally eternal, just as powerful and all-knowing. Jesus is true God from everlasting to everlasting." This formulation lacks both common sense and logic. A son can be of very obvious reasons not be as old as his father, and therefore not as eternal. Psalm 2 is prophecy about Jesus: "You are my son, I have borne [Hebrew: bred, brought] you today" (verse 7).
In 5th Mos.18 18 allows God to Moses predict: "A prophet will I raise up for them by their brethren, like unto thee [Moses]." When this prophecy was fulfilled to Peter in his speech in Jerusalem point to this promise (Ap.gj.3; 22). Father and Son are two persons, tell Jesus: "But in your law it is written that the testimony of two men is true. I am the one who bears witness about myself, and the Father that sent me beareth witness of me." (Joh.8; 17.18). The first assertion of the Trinity: "everyone is equally eternal," can not be right. The second assertion of the Trinity: "everyone is equally powerful," can not be right, for Jesus says "the Father is greater than I" (Joh.14; 28), "I can do nothing of myself" (John 5, 19 and 30). The third claim: "all are equal omniscient", contrary to Jesus' words, for his briefing on the end times: "But that day or hour no one knows, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father." (Mark 13: 32).
Father and Jesus are two people. The Holy Spirit is no person but the Father executive power.
No one can see the Father: "He who alone is immortal and who lives in a light where no one can come, whom no man hath seen, nor can see." (1 Tim.6 16). To convey touch with the people, God revealed Himself in the Scriptures through the angels, who acted and spoke for God, and is often referred to as the "master". The three men who came to Abraham in 1 Mos.kap.18 to tell him about Sodom and Gomorrah impending destruction, was not "a triune god", but three angels.
Jesus is God's revelation: "God manifest in the flesh" (1 Tim.3 16). Therefore, Jesus could say, "He who has seen Me has seen the Father" (Joh.14; 9). And Jesus revealed God by displaying the attributes of God in word and deed: "I have glorified thee on the earth: I have finished the work which You have given Me to do." (Joh.17, 4). "He humbled himself and became obedient to death - even death on the cross. Wherefore God also hath highly exalted him, and given him a name which is above every name." (Phil.2 0.8 to 9). He had completed the task the Father had given him, and was raised from death. Therefore, he was given all power in heaven and on earth, and could give this mission and the command to baptize: "... I have been given all authority in heaven and on earth Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you ... " (Mt.28, 18-20).
Jesus had taught and worked in his Father's name. Now Jesus commanded His disciples to preach in his name and with his authority. Jesus' followers would do the works of Jesus, who was also the Father. To get the power and wisdom of this, they of the Holy Spirit. Disciples works requires both the Father and the Spirit's involvement. Jesus' mission and the command to baptize is therefore not an invitation to baptism in the Triune God's name. It is Jesus 'name we are baptized to, it is only Jesus' saving work that made this possible. And Jesus is with those who are baptized by their promise! But we also want to keep the Spirit's properties. They are important but we must still let the word - the word of God - be decisive. Here some aspects of God's Spirit, the Holy Spirit drives us to Christ, Rom.8, 14. It is a gift that we have received through faith in him. The Holy Spirit can not draw with paper and pencil or the power of the human intellect. Therefore, we can not perfectly "imagine" the Holy Spirit. He is not a hypothetical construct that can be made with our thought. It is only through the Scriptures draw pictures of Him and through the work of the Spirit performs that we learn to recognize the Spirit. When the "old" spoke of the Spirit, provided they like to highlight three aspects of the Spirit as clearly defined in Scripture:
The term "advocate" corresponds to a lawyer functions primarily as a defender, but also comfort and help. This aspect of the Holy Spirit is unfortunately not always been as strongly emphasized in the ministry, either in the Lutheran Free Church or context. Or we can also say that he completes us as it says about the Holy Spirit in Rom. 8 26.
Secondly, Scripture speaks of the Holy Spirit is the only spirit that seems fellowship with the Father and the Son. Strongest is this expressed in the apostolic blessing: "Our Lord Jesus Christ grace, God's love and the Holy Spirit be with you all." And finally Scripture speaks of the Holy Spirit as "power" from on high, Luk.24, 49, and this force clothed the Christian to service. In order to have an overall picture of the Holy Spirit, it is important that these three pages from Scripture emphasis on preaching. Why did God give us the Holy Ghost? Because it was going to witness with our spirit that we are children of God, help us with faith and assurance of salvation, Rom.8, 16. Because the Holy Spirit would dwell in us, 1.Kor.3, 16.
What is the Holy Spirit works? Answer: They are many and significant.
The Holy Spirit awakens to repentance, penance and confession, Luk.15 0.17 to 19. The Holy Spirit convicts us of sin, righteousness and judgment, of what is due sin in our lives (unbelief) and the righteous deeds of Jesus for our salvation, Joh.16 0.8 to 13. The Holy Spirit will guide us and guide us into all truth, Johs. 16.20. The Holy Spirit testifies of Jesus reminds us of what he has said and explained it to us, John 15, 26 - Joh.14, 26. The Holy Spirit glorifies Jesus for us and lets us see His greatness, Johs. 16.14. The Holy Spirit leads us into the faith fight and try to purify our faith as gold tried in the fire, Matt.4, 1 - 1.Pet.1, 7. The Holy Spirit teaches us to pray (ref. Prayer Spirit), Gal.4, 6 - Rom.8 0.26 to 27. The Holy Spirit creates faith Gal.4, 6 - Rom.10, 17. The Holy Spirit testifies to us of divine filiation, Rom.8, 15. The Holy Spirit creates love, Rom. 8.1 to 27. The Holy Spirit quickens us with Christ, Joh.6, 63. The Holy Spirit empowers believers to a deed which they can perform with its own power 1.Kor.2, 4. The Holy Spirit is the true head of the Church of God in church and chapel, Joh.14 0.16 to 18. The Holy Spirit will even transform our body of humiliation to its becoming Jesus' glorious body, 1.Kor.15, 43 and Rom.8, 10. Conclusion: Without the Holy Spirit - no faith, no contact with God, no Christian life.
How do we as the Holy Spirit?
God's Spirit works with the Word as a medium. It is the Spirit who creates faith by preaching and reading of God's Word. See Rom. 10.17 and Gal.3, 2. We receive the Holy Spirit by asking for it, Luk.11, 13. We receive the Holy Spirit by hearing and believing, Ap.G.8 0.14 to 17 and Gal.3, 2 We receive the Holy Ghost by the laying on of hands, Ap.G.8 0.14 to 17. Is it necessary for us to be filled with the Spirit? Our strength as Christians are relative to the Spirit's dominion over us. God's kingdom following are relative to how we allow the Holy Spirit working among us. We could not ask for victory in life and ministry without prayer Spirit. Word sword will not pierce without the Spirit's power. We automaker nothing in the kingdom of God without the Holy Spirit. We are born of the Spirit Jn. e 4 14 But whoever drinks of the water that I shall give him shall never thirst. The water that I shall give him will become in him a spring of water welling up to eternal life. "This is the source of salvation. We are baptized in the Spirit Jn. e 7 37 On the last day of the feast, the great day, Jesus stood up and shouted: "Whoever is thirsty, let him come to me and drink! 38 He that believeth on me, out of his belly shall, as the Scripture has said, the flow rivers of living water. "39 He said this about the Spirit, those who believed in him were to receive. For the Spirit was not yet given, because Jesus had not yet taken part in glory. This stream of living water is spiritual baptism.
Have tried briefly to explain the importance of the Holy Spirit - God's active force - and could not make the Holy Spirit a second God, but the Spirit which goes out from the Father and the Son! The Holy Spirit does not have a willingness to speak. We will neither ask nor worship the Holy Spirit as it is not a person who both Trinity teachers and Jesus alone claims in their own way. Spirit's task is to convey everything from the Father and the Son, then preferably to us. Joh. AD 16 14 He shall glorify me, for he will take what is mine and declare it to you. 15 All that the Father hath are mine. Therefore I said that He will take what is mine and declare it to you. That we can make the Holy Spirit and awaken joy in him, so do we with our own spirit. Words like sticking an awl and they seem happy, how then? Of course in our spirit and inner man. We must not fable and faith in the Catholic lie that the Holy Spirit is a person. But it is God the Father and God the Son, common Spirit sent from them to give us what heaven brings and offers!
