Intuition and the Holy Spirit

Apokalupto
Apokalupto: Some distinctions between Intuition and the Holy Spirit.

Intuition is not the Holy Spirit

Intuitions sources come from yourself, from different layers of your own mind
The Holy Spirit comes from God

Intuition is fallible
The Holy Spirit is infallible

Intuition is human psychology
The Holy Spirit is God

The Holy Spirit creates a new creature, it renews you in God and conforms you to His image and will
Intuition does not renew you, does not conform you to anything, let alone to God

Intuition can be learned or cultivated
The Holy Spirit cannot be learned

Intuition is discovered without God.
The Holy Spirit is God and cannot be known without knowing God.

Intuition is a relationship of mediating perception between conscious and unconscious content/processes
The Holy Spirit is a relationship with God, not yourself

m_leonora1111: The Spirit of God CANNOT be God. Why? Because it is something of God. It belong to God the Father and Jesus.

Who is the Holy Spirit?

Due to the teaching of the false trinity god in the majority of churches today, many Christians do not know the truth regarding the Holy Spirit, as to WHERE it comes from and WHOSE presence it brings to us.

IMPORTANT NOTE: Let me confirm I am NOT trying to describe the nature of the Holy Spirit, as that is a mystery. I am simply sharing the clear Bible truth of WHOSE PRESENCE it brings to us. God has not revealed the nature of the Spirit, but He HAS revealed WHERE it comes from, and WHOSE PRESENCE it brings to us.
Revelation 5:1,6,7 Acts 2:32-33
These are very revealing verses regarding the Holy Spirit. Notice that the Lamb, which is Christ has 'seven eyes, which are the seven Spirit of God to send forth into all the earth'. This is a reference to the Holy Spirit, and who is it that HAS the Holy Spirit to send? It is Jesus. He has 'RECEIVED the Holy Spirit from the Father'. Take a look at the following verses: Luke 12:11-12 Mathew 10:19-20. As you can see, the Holy Spirit is the Spirit of the Father. But does it comes straight to us from the the Father? No, as the Father does all things through His beloved Son. It's the same with giving the Holy Spirit, as you can see above in Acts 2:32-33. The Father gives the Holy Spirit through His Son Jesus. So I'm effect, it is Jesus who come to us (John 4:18). And this lines up with what is revealed in Revelation, chapters 1 and 2. Notice the following in Revelation 1and 2.
Revelation 1:12-16, Revelation 2:1,7 Revelation 3:20. First of all, who does john sees 'speaking' to him? He sees Jesus Christ right? Then Jesus confirms it is He who is holding the seven stars and walking in the midst of the candlesticks, speaking to the churches. Now look at what Christ says at the end of each messages to the churches... He that had an ear, let him hear what the Spirit speaking to the churches, which confirms what Revelation 5 says regarding Christ being the one who HAS the Holy Spirit to send to us. It is Christ's OWN DIVINE SPIRIT, which He sends, NOT ANOTHER 'THIRD BEING' like the trinity doctrine teaching says.

m_leonora1111: Yes, Jesus is God, but not THE God.
Why Jesus is God? Because He has come out of God. Jesus is not created. He is begotten.

chronology
chronology: M with all respect to you, I mentioned in our exchanges on your blog that rejecting the Trinity places you in a position where your belief can become potentially hazardous to your salvation.
Jesus Christ is co equal with the Father. The Holy Spirit is co equal to the Father and Son, but He usually does not lead either decisions or actions by the Father or Son. This position has been held by virtually all established churches from the Roman Catholic to the Church of England to the Lutheran. You are really placing your self out on a limb with your views on this subject. It has been 1700 years since the belief in the Trinity has been accepted. Nothing has challenged that belief with credible facts since then.

Apokalupto:

m_leonora1111

So you believe in the twin-ity.


Here is what the Gospel teaches.

Matthew 3:16 And Jesus, when he was baptized, went up straightway out of the water: and, lo, the heavens were opened unto him, and he saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove, and lighting upon him:
Matthew 3:17 And lo a voice from heaven, saying, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.

Jesus is being baptized, the Holy Spirit comes upon Him, and the voice of the Father comes from heaven. THREE PERSONS

Matthew 28:19 Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: (These are not the same person)

Acts 5:3 But Peter said, Ananias, why hath Satan filled thine heart to lie to the Holy Ghost, and to keep back part of the price of the land?

How can you lie to something that is not a person, or how do you lie to Gods power? You can’t, you lie to a person, not an object.

Peter continues.

Acts 5:4 Whiles it remained, was it not thine own? and after it was sold, was it not in thine own power? why hast thou conceived this thing in thine heart? thou hast not lied unto men, but unto God.


Lying to the person of the Holy Spirit, Peter says is lying to God.


The Holy Spirit is ANOTHER. He is different from Christ.
John 14:16 And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, that he may abide with you for ever;

John 14:25 These things have I spoken unto you, being yet present with you.

Personal pronouns are used with the Holy Spirit (unlike the spirit of wisdom, might, understanding etc which aren’t persons)

John 14:26 But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he* shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you.

In this verse above Jesus distinguishes the Holy Spirits personal pronoun from His own. “HE (The HS) shall teach you what *I* have said unto you”

John 15:26 But when the Comforter is come, whom I will send unto you from the Father, even the Spirit of truth, which proceedeth from the Father, he* shall testify of me:*

If the Holy Ghost was Jesus own Spirit and not separate from Him, then Jesus could not say that the Holy Ghost was not with them

John 16:7 Nevertheless I tell you the truth; It is expedient for you that I go away: for if I go not away, the Comforter (HS) will not come unto you; but if I depart, I will send him unto you.

You said that its really Jesus that comes to us, but the fact of the matter is, Jesus must depart before Jesus sends him, the Holy Spirit.

Jesus did not send His own Spirit. If the Holy Spirit was Jesus own spirit then Jesus would not have to leave in order for "ANOTHER" to come.

Jesus and the Holy Spirit are separate persons.

John 16:13 Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak: and he will shew you things to come.

Notice the personal pronouns, and notice how the Holy Spirit, he shall not speak of himself, so it is separate from Jesus meaning that they are two, not one and the same, but the Father the Son and the Holy Spirit are one God three persons.

Jesus did not honour Himself

John 8:54 Jesus answered, If I honour myself, my honour is nothing: it is my Father that honoureth me; of whom ye say, that he is your God:

Next, Jesus says it is the Holy Spirit that will glorify Him.

John 16:14 He (Holy Spirit) shall glorify me: for he shall receive of mine, and shall shew it unto you.

The Holy Spirit is not the Father either because:
John 16:13 Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth:--

--for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak:--

--and he will shew you things to come.

This shows us that the Holy Spirit is neither Jesus nor the Father, but what the Holy Spirit hears that shall He speak or show unto us. The Holy Spirit receives from Jesus what Jesus received from the Father.


2Corinthians 13:14 The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ1, and the love of God2, and the communion of the Holy Ghost3, be with you all. Amen.

1Peter 1:2 Elect according to the foreknowledge of God the Father1, through sanctification of the Spirit2, unto obedience and sprinkling of the blood of Jesus Christ3: Grace unto you, and peace, be multiplied.

1John 5:7 For there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost: and these three are one.

If you reject this you reject God.

Apokalupto: Chronology. The Catholic church plays no part in the truth of the Trinity. The Trinity is explained perfectly fine in the Bible. There is no need to insert a false church who took 300 years to figure it out. The Trinity is in the scriptures, not a denomination.

Apokalupto: As another note, when it says that the Holy Spirit does not speak of Himself, but what He shall hear that shall He speak? We know it can't be Jesus because Jesus directly distinguishes the Holy Spirit from Himself, but i wanted to say also that logically we know it is impossible that the Holy Spirit is the Father too, since we cannot say this of the Father "what He shall hear that shall He speak." The Father doesn't do this. The Father gives to Jesus, Jesus to the Holy Spirit and the Holy Spirit to us because Holy Spirit lives in side us. We receive from the HS as the HS hears from Jesus, and Jesus what He hears and has received from the Father.

chronology: X really? Well as it was the Church Council that decided just what were and were not genuine books of the Bible that would have been difficult. You may have heard of the Council of Nicea.

I don't think the guy is rejecting God. He is probably just under the spell of some trendy modern so called church that pedells catchy sound bites. The church of England often has quite a deprogramming work load when these people see the light and start attending a sensible church like the church of England.
Year's ago such people would be labeled heretics. Today most Anglicans just see them as 'work in progress'. If they keep up their Sunday worship and bible classes at the Anglican church they will probably become deprogrammed church members. He will probably wonder how he ever believed such doctrines after a few years of being a member of the Anglican community.

By the way, I am not a church of England member. Am None Conformist.
