Questions On The Holy Spirit

Blessings Pastor:

This is XXX's husband writing, XXX.

Hello XXX

It is nice to meet you.

I've been greatly blessed with understanding while reading your transcripts.

Thank you.

I had two questions. The first is that you mentioned that the Holy Spirit is not a teacher. 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. Could you please explain this to me.

WHO TEACHES US,
THE HOLY GHOST, OR THE HOLY ONE?

The Greek Text reads, as follows: the, but, comforter, Ghost, which is, the , Holy, whom, will send, the father ....

Please note that it says "Ghost Holy," and not "Holy Ghost," as it does in other Scriptures that refer to the Holy Ghost.

Also, there is no Greek foundation (word) for the English words "which is." They were inserted by the King James Translators.

The syntax, “Ghost Holy,” suggests that the word “Holy” is modifying the word “Ghost.” (As you may know, the same Greek word is translated both “spirit” and “ghost”)

Now, we must ask the question, is the Scripture talking about the Holy Ghost, as the Church understands Him, or the Spirit (ghost) of the Holy, or the Spirit of the Holy One?

Mark 1:24

24 Saying, Let us alone; what have we to do with thee, thou Jesus of Nazareth? art thou come to destroy us? I know thee who thou art, the Holy One of God. KJV

Acts 2:27

27 Because thou wilt not leave my soul in hell, neither wilt thou suffer thine Holy One to see corruption. KJV

Acts 3:14

14 But ye denied the Holy One and the Just, and desired a murderer to be granted unto you; KJV

Acts 13:35

35 Wherefore he saith also in another psalm, Thou shalt not suffer thine Holy One to see corruption. KJV

1 John 2:20

20 But ye have an unction from the Holy One, and ye know all things. KJV

The "Holy One" is a man, not a spirit. He is Christ, and Christ, the One who gives us Wisdom, is our teacher:

Col 3:16

16 Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom; teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord. KJV

1 Cor 1:30

30 But of him are ye in Christ Jesus, who of God is made unto us wisdom, and righteousness, and sanctification, and redemption: KJV

2nd Question:

You mentioned that the Holy Spirit is female, and the Spirit of Christ is male. Does it say the Holy Spirit is female in Greek, and the Spirit of Christ is male?

THE HOLY SPIRIT IS THE POWER OF GOD

The Holy Spirit is the raw spiritual power of God.

Mark 9:1
9:1 And he said unto them, Verily I say unto you, That there be some of them that stand here, which shall not taste of death, till they have seen the kingdom of God come with power. KJV

Mark 12:24

24 And Jesus answering said unto them, Do ye not therefore err, because ye know not the scriptures, neither the power of God? KJV

Luke 1:35

35 And the angel answered and said unto her, The Holy Ghost shall come upon thee, and the power of the Highest shall overshadow thee: therefore also that holy thing which shall be born of thee shall be called the Son of God. KJV

Luke 22:69

69 Hereafter shall the Son of man sit on the right hand of the power of God. KJV

John 1:12

12 But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name: KJV

Acts 10:38

38 How God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Ghost and with power: who went about doing good, and healing all that were oppressed of the devil; for God was with him. KJV

Rom 1:4

4 And declared to be the Son of God with power, according to the spirit of holiness, by the resurrection from the dead: KJV

Mark 9:1
9:1 And he said unto them, Verily I say unto you, That there be some of them that stand here, which shall not taste of death, till they have seen the kingdom of God come with power. KJV

Mark 12:24

24 And Jesus answering said unto them, Do ye not therefore err, because ye know not the scriptures, neither the power of God? KJV

Luke 1:35

Luke 22:69

69 Hereafter shall the Son of man sit on the right hand of the power of God. KJV

John 1:12

12 But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name: KJV

Acts 10:38

38 How God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Ghost and with power: who went about doing good, and healing all that were oppressed of the devil; for God was with him. KJV

Rom 1:4

4 And declared to be the Son of God with power, according to the spirit of holiness, by the resurrection from the dead: KJV

THE KINGDOM IS THE POWER OF GOD

Mark 9:1
9:1 And he said unto them, Verily I say unto you, That there be some of them that stand here, which shall not taste of death, till they have seen the kingdom of God come with power. KJV

1 Cor 4:20
20 For the kingdom of God is not in word, but in power. KJV

The Holy Ghost is the power of God, and The Kingdom of God comes with power,

THEN,

The Holy Ghost must be the power that brings The Kingdom of God

Luke 11:20
20 But if I with the finger of God cast out devils, no doubt the kingdom of God is come upon you. KJV

The Holy Spirit is the Power of God that casts out demons.

THE POWER OF THE HOLY SPIRIT COMPLETES US
(COVERS THE POWERS OF THE SOUL)

Col 2:10
10 And ye are complete in him, which is the head of all principality and power: KJV

(“him” is translators’ license. Could easily be translated “her.”)

1 Cor 11:4
4 Every man praying or prophesying, having his head covered, dishonoureth his head. KJV

(Everyone praying (exercising spiritual power) that is not covered (directed by) the Holy Spirit, dishonors the Holy Spirit.)

THE SPIRIT OF CHRIST IS THE WISDOM OF GOD

1 Cor 1:30
30 But of him are ye in Christ Jesus, who of God is made unto us wisdom, and righteousness, and sanctification, and redemption: KJV

Eph 1:3-8
3 Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath blessed us with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Christ:

* * *

8 Wherein he hath abounded toward us in all wisdom and prudence; KJV

Eph 1:17
17 That the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give unto you the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of him: KJV

(Wisdom is not a fruit of the Spirit. It is an attribute of Christ Jesus, the whole man.)

Col 2:2-3
2 That their hearts might be comforted, being knit together in love, and unto all riches of the full assurance of understanding, to the acknowledgement of the mystery of God, and of the Father, and of Christ;

3 In whom are hid all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge. KJV

CHRIST JESUS IS THE MAN

1 Tim 2:5

5 For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus; KJV

THE WISDOM OF CHRIST JESUS PERFECTS US

Eph 4:13
13 Till we all come in the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, unto a perfect man, unto the measure of the stature of the fulness of Christ: KJV

Col 1:28
28 Whom we preach, warning every man, and teaching every man in all wisdom; that we may present every man perfect in Christ Jesus: KJV

Heb 13:20-21
20 Now the God of peace, that brought again from the dead our Lord Jesus, that great shepherd of the sheep, through the blood of the everlasting covenant,

21 Make you perfect in every good work to do his will, working in you that which is wellpleasing in his sight, through Jesus Christ; to whom be glory for ever and ever. Amen. KJV

1 Peter 5:10
10 But the God of all grace, who hath called us unto his eternal glory by Christ Jesus, after that ye have suffered a while, make you perfect, stablish, strengthen, settle you. KJV

CHRIST JESUS (WISDOM) HAS A FEMALE (POWER) SIDE

1 Cor 1:24
24 But unto them which are called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God, and the wisdom of God. KJV

Man consists of spirit (male) and earth (female)

Gen 1:27
27 So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them. KJV

The Spirit of Christ is the spiritual part of the whole man.

Rom 7:14
14 For we know that the law is spiritual: but I am carnal, sold under sin. KJV

What is left then? The earthen part, which is given only for form.

Gen 2:7
7 And the LORD God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul. KJV

Wherefore, the Spirit of Christ is the (spiritual) consciousness of the Man Christ Jesus, which is given to mankind to restore us to our previous exalted state that Adam, our ancestor, fell from.

Rev 2:4-5
4 Nevertheless I have somewhat against thee, because thou hast left thy first love.

5 Remember therefore from whence thou art fallen, and repent, and do the first works; or else I will come unto thee quickly, and will remove thy candlestick out of his place, except thou repent. KJV

THE HOLY SPIRIT VS. THE SPIRIT OF CHRIST

The lesser (raw spiritual) power must submit to the greater power (Wisdom, which also has power),

John 21:18
18 Verily, verily, I say unto thee, When thou wast young, thou girdedst thyself, and walkedst whither thou wouldest: but when thou shalt be old, thou shalt stretch forth thy hands, and another shall gird thee, and carry thee whither thou wouldest not. KJV

Wherefore, spiritually speaking, the raw power of the Holy Spirit is spiritually female in relation to the spiritually male/superior Wisdom of the Spiritual Consciousness of Christ Jesus (Spirit of Christ), which is given to direct it.

Wherefore, saith John the Baptist (signifying the Holy Spirit),

John 3:30-31
30 He must increase, but I must decrease.

31 He that cometh from above is above all: he that is of the earth is earthly, and speaketh of the earth: he that cometh from heaven is above all. KJV

The spiritual creation was male and female from the beginning, and it still is male and female. Wherever the male is, so is the female, and wherever the female is, so is the male:

1 Cor 11:11-12
11 Nevertheless neither is the man without the woman, neither the woman without the man, in the Lord.

12 For as the woman is of the man, even so is the man also by the woman; but all things of God. KJV

Thank you for your time. I hope soon, XXX and I will be able to invite you out to XXX (Lord willing). Our fellowship is small of only about 8 but we are very hungry for truth. I have been sharing with them the things you've been speaking on and we all have been very blessed.

XXX

I look forward to receiving your invitation.

God Bless You.

Sincerely in Christ,
