No. 875:
Scripture provides a self-testimony that the Holy
Ghost not have names, which Jesus and the Father!
God knows the end from the beginning. He could have
written plainly that Trinity is unbiblical. But it is a self-testimony hidden
presence of God's word. Spirit is never mentioned by name. It again tells and
gives a testimony that we must never believe, teach or believe that the Spirit
is a person on a par with humans, angels, God the Father, Jesus, the
Antichrist, the false prophet or someone else who has his own name and is a
separate person.
Illustrative image is a big question mark. What name
has the Holy Spirit? Can someone to answer it, so it is possible to believe
that the Holy Spirit is not only God's power and presence of God, but also a
person.
God Father has both a name, identity and then a
person.
Jesus Christ has both a name, identity and then a
person.
The Holy not a name, identity and no person.
Here from Wikipedia about God the Father:
Yahweh (Hebrew יהוה) or Jehovah
is God's name in the Old Testament (Jewish Tanak) and mentioned 6828 times
there. Since Persian time has evidence that Jews avoided to pronounce this
name, but said adonay "Lord", elohim "God" or just Hashem,
"name", when they came to this own name because it was thought that
the name was so holy and so dangerous that this should be avoided. Consequently
pronunciation of the name is lost in the Middle Ages.
The Hebrew יהוה has in some
contexts been transcribed as "Yahweh", in others "Jahwa" or
"Yahwe (h)." These different varieties because there is no consensus
about which Latin vowels that should replace Hebrew י
(iodine / yod) and ו (vav / waw) in either German,
English or Israeli literature, nor in Maroc. Under Norwegian rules for
phonology it otherwise most natural to use consonants YHWH
YHWH is still considered by the Jews as the only true
God, whose name they did not pronounce. Within Catholic, Protestant and Free
Church Christianity is Yahweh or Jehovah synonymous with the Godhead, the Holy
Trinity, and not tied to a particular of the three people who make up this.
These churches username occasionally, but not very often. At antitrinitariske
faiths, especially Jehovah's Witnesses, considered Yahweh or Jehovah as the
name of the Father, who with them is synonymous with the Godhead and not part
of a trinity.
Jesus from Wikipedia
Jesus is a man originally Latin names. It is formed by
the Greek name Iesous which is formed by the Hebrew Jeshua meaning "God
saves."
From major Norwegian encyclopedia
Jesus, also known as Jesus Christ, Jesus of Nazareth
and Jesus Galilean. The central figure in Christianity. Uncertain birth. Alive
in Galilee until about the year 30.
The name Jesus is the Greek form of a common Jewish
name, Jeshu'a (Aramaic, Heb. Jehoshu'a, 'God saves'); Christ is the Greek of
the Jewish title Messiah, the anointed. At the time of Jesus was Messiah
eschatological figure; King of David who would deliver Israel. The name Jesus
Christ therefore expresses the believer earliest confession that Jesus is the
Messiah. The Greek Christ (eg. Christos) had not same titular timbre and was
perceived as a name paragraph. Jesus dignity was therefore expressed by the title
kurios, Lord, and the Christian confession was Lord Jesus, that Jesus is Lord.
In his lifetime, Jesus was probably called Jesus
Galilean or Jesus of Nazareth (Mark 1.24; 10.47; 21.11 Matt; 26,69ff; Luke
24.19).
The Holy Spirit
No name, can not write about a something that does not
excite.
Here from the web of the Trinity:
The Holy Spirit is the power of God. (Micah 3: 8; Luke
1:35) God sends his spirit by his direct their energy toward any place to carry
out his will. - Psalm 104: 30; 139: 7.
The word "spirit" in the Bible is translated
from the Hebrew word Ruach and the Greek word pneuma. In most cases aiming
these words to God's active force, that his holy spirit. (1. Genesis 1: 2) But
the Bible uses these words in other meanings also:
Breathe or
spiritual. - Habakkuk 2:19; Revelation 1:15 p.m..
Wind. - 1.
Numbers 8: 1; John 3: 8.
The life
force that exists in living creatures. - Job 34:14, 15.
A person's
character or setting. - 4. Genesis 2:24 p.m..
Spiritual
Persons, including God and the angels. - 1 Kings 10:21 p.m.; John 4:24.
These meanings have in common that they describe
something that is invisible to humans, but that has visible effects. "Like
the wind" is the spirit of God "invisible, immaterial and powerful."
- An Expository Dictionary of New Testament Words by WE Vine.
Bible also speaks of God's holy spirit as his 'hands'
and that his 'fingers'. (Psalm 8: 3; 19: 1; Luke 11:20; Matthew 12:28 c.f..)
Just as a craftsman uses his hands and his fingers when he works, God has used
his spirit to bring forth such things as:
Universe. - Psalm 33: 6; Isaiah 66: 1, 2.
Bible. - 2
Peter 1:20, 21.
The
miracles and the untiring preaching as his servants in ancient times performed.
- Luke 4:18; Acts 1: 8; 1 Corinthians 12: 4-11.
The good
qualities that characterize people who are obedient to him. - Galatians 5:22,
23.
The Holy Spirit is not a person
By referring to God's spirit as his 'hands', 'fingers'
and 'breath' the Bible show that the Holy Spirit is not a person. (2. Exodus
15: 8, 10) Hands of a craftsman can not do anything independently of the brain
and the rest of the body, and similarly can not God's holy spirit to do
something independent of God. The accomplishments simply what God decides.
(Luke 11:13) The Bible also compares God's spirit with water and put it in
connection with such things as faith and knowledge. All these comparisons help
us to understand that the Holy Spirit can not be a person. - Isaiah 44: 3; Acts
6: 5; 2 Corinthians 6: 6.
The Bible tells what Jehovah God and his Son, Jesus
Christ, called, but no place says that the Holy Spirit has a name. (Isaiah 42:
8; Luke 1:31) When Stephen, a Christian martyr, a miracle had a vision of
heavenly things, so he just two people, not three. The Bible says: "He was
full of holy spirit and gazed into heaven and saw the glory of God and Jesus
standing at the right hand of God." (Acts 7:55) The Holy Spirit was the
power of God - it was the one who put Stephen able to see this sight.
Wrong Perceptions about the holy spirit
Wrong Perception: The Holy Spirit is a person and is
part of the Trinity, so one gets the impression in 1 John 5: 7, 8 in some Bible
translations, including the King James Version.
Fact: In 1 John 5: 7, 8 in the King James Version is
these words included: "For there are three that bear witness in heaven:
the Father, the Word and the Holy Spirit. And these three are one. And there
are three that bear on earth. "But scientists have concluded that these
words are not written by the Apostle John and therefore do not belong in the
Bible. Professor Bruce M. Metzger wrote: "That these words are
illegitimate and not have a legitimate place in the New Testament, is
certain." - A Textual Commentary on the Greek New Testament.
Wrong Perception: Bible personifies the Holy Spirit,
and it proves that it is a person.
Fact: It is true that the Bible anywhere personifies
the Holy Spirit, but this is no evidence that the Holy Spirit is a person.
Bible personifies also wisdom, death and sin. (Proverbs 1:20; Romans 5:17, 21)
It is said, for example, about the wisdom that it has "works" and
"children" and about sin that deceives, kills and causes
covetousness. - Matthew 11:19; Luke 7:35; Romans 7: 8, 11.
Jesus personified similarly the holy spirit by
reviewing it as a helper who would give testimony, lead, speak, hear, preach
and glorify. When the apostle John rendered the Jesus had said, he used
personal pronouns masculine, "he" and "him" when he spoke
of this "helper". (John 16: 7-15) But he did because the Greek word
for "helper" (parakletos) is masculine and require hankjønnspronomen
according Greek grammar rules. When John spoke of the Holy Spirit using neuter
word pneuma, he went ahead with the impersonal pronoun "the." - John
2:16 p.m., 17.
Wrong Perception: Baptism in the Holy Spirit proves
that the Holy Spirit is a person.
Fact: The Bible sometimes uses the word
"name" in the sense of power or authority. (5. Exodus 18: 5, 19-22;
Esther 8:10) It can be used in the same way today. One can for example say that
something is being done "in a legal name," but that does not mean that
the law is a person. A person who is baptized in the "holy spirit",
understand and agree that the holy spirit is God's active force, and that God
uses it to accomplish his will. - Matthew 28:19.
Wrong Perception: Jesus' apostles and the other
disciples in the first century thought that the holy spirit was a person.
Fact: Neither the Bible or history supports the
notion. Encyclopaedia Britannica says: "The definition of the Holy Ghost
as a separate divine Person ... was adopted at the Council of Constantinople in
381." This was over 250 years after the last of the apostles had died.
Final Comment:
The nearest we get that the Holy Spirit is ne person
is dåpsbefalingen:
Matt. 28. 19 Go therefore and make disciples of all
nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy
Ghost.
This is not really something own name but three
properties and titles. Father and Son is also as I have explained before his
own people. But the Holy Spirit ?!
That name excites not simply. But what is meant when
with this? That God and the Spirit of God is there behind Jesus. Therefore
Jesus is the frelsesvanet, no other names or people:
Acts 4. 8 Then Peter was filled with the Holy Spirit
and answered them: "Men and Council elders of the people! 9 When we
presently being interrogated because of a good deed done to a sick man and are
asked how he is healed, 10 ye shall all and the people of Israel know this:
When this man stands before you healthy, it by the name of Jesus Christ the
Nazarene, whom you crucified but whom God raised from the dead. 11 He is
stone which was rejected by you builders,
but
which has become the cornerstone.
12 There is salvation in no one else, for the sky is
not given people any other name that we might be saved. "
The salvation name is Jesus Christ. And therefore
stands behind him God by his Spirit and has left all fullness dwell in him. It
is in his name everything happens in God's kingdom and the church of God!
