IS THE HOLY SPIRIT GOD? Part Three




I have been writing on the subject “God, the Holy Ghost”, showing that there is no such thing as a third part of the Godhead. I made the statement that the Spirit of Truth is Gabriel, who is one of the Lord’s Holy Angels.


Well, sometimes no matter how clearly your statement is made, some people refuse to see the truth even when it is made clear by letting God’s Word interpret God’s Word. For the scriptures are of no private interpretation, 2Peter 1:20-21, but prophecy came in old times by the Holy Ghost. We will be looking at the Holy Ghost that came to men. Turn to 1John 5:7, here we read “that three bear record in heaven, and these three are one”. Which simply means they all agree; not one person with three different personalities. More on this later, because I want to show you what every little thing means.



Now, let’s get back to the three that bear record in heaven. The Father gave record of His Son; 1John 5:10. We will now look at the Holy Ghost, which bears the record that the Father gave His Son. Turn to Revelation 1:1, here we see the same three that bear record in Heaven. Only in these verses the Holy Ghost is called an Angel, who was sent to John, who bears record in the Earth. Now, you would think that this would clear up the matter on who the Holy Ghost is that bears record with the Father and the Son, in heaven.



Let us continue: Turn to John 15:26, we read where Jesus sent the Comforter, the Spirit of Truth, who will testify of Him. We know that the Angel is called the Comforter and the Spirit of Truth, because, in Revelation 22:16 Jesus tells us that He sent His Angel (Comforter) to testify of Him in the churches. Turn to Revelation 19:9-10, here we read that the Holy Angel is telling John not to bow down and worship Him for He is also a servant.



It is just amazing how all you see is an Angel that is doing the work that the majority of people say is “God, the Holy Ghost” Let’s turn to John 16:13-15, where Jesus tells us that the “Spirit of Truth that is to come, He will not speak of Himself, but whatsoever He hears, that will He speak”. He shall receive it from Jesus who received it from the Father. Sound familiar? It should, Revelation 1:1.


Well, let us take a look at some of the people He was sent to: In Acts 8:26-31, we read that an Angel tells Philip to go toward the south unto a way that is down from Jerusalem, where he saw an Ethiopian. Notice how at first he is called an Angel, and later a Spirit? Let’s continue; turn to Exodus 23:20-24, here we read how the Lord is telling Israel that He is sending an Angel before them, and to obey His voice because His (the Lord’s) name is in Him, and He (the Angel) will not pardon their transgressions. Notice how this Angel of the Lord is instructing the people? What I would like to know is when is God the Holy Ghost, (you know, the one that is the third part of the Godhead) going to do something?

What I would like to know is when is God the Holy Ghost, (you know, the one that is the third part of the Godhead) going to do something?


Let’s continue on; turn to Isaiah 63:7-15. Here we read how the Angel of His Presence saved them: “But they rebelled and vexed His Holy Spirit (Angel), therefore, He became their enemy. But the Lord remembered His people. "


Did you notice that the scripture said the Angel of His Presence, saved them? So let’s see who this Angel is because He stands in the Presence of God. Turn to Luke 1:1-20. Here we read about the Angel that was sent to Zacharias to inform him that he and his wife, Elisabeth, were going to have a child; and that he shall name him John. The Angel told him that His name was Gabriel, who stands in the Presence of God. Now we know the name of the Holy Spirit that will lead and guide us and inform us. Skip down to Luke 1:26-33. Here we read where the Angel, Gabriel, was sent from God to Mary to inform her that she was going to have a son and shall call his name Jesus.


I still have to ask you as we continue, when is God the Holy Ghost going to do something? Turn to Revelation 1:1, 10, 12-15. Here we read where Jesus sent His Angel to John; when John turned to see who was talking to him he gave a description of what he saw and how they looked. He said that he saw, “One like unto the Son of Man”. He did not say he saw the Son of Man, but one like unto the Son of Man.


We know that this is an Angel because Revelation 1:1 says Jesus sent His Angel to talk to John. Turn to Daniel 8:1; where we read that Daniel saw a vision. Now as he sought the meaning of the vision, Gabriel was told to make this man (Daniel) to understand the vision, in Daniel 8:15-16. We are not concerned about the vision Daniel had but how he came to understand the vision. If you noticed, it was the Angel, Gabriel, who was sent to Daniel.


Now, turn to Daniel 9:1-3. Here we see Daniel reading the book of Jeremiah—YES, Daniel read the Books of the Prophets—as he sought to understand what he was reading by prayer and supplications. Skip down to Daniel 9:20-22, while Daniel was speaking, Gabriel came and said to Daniel, “I am now come forth to give you skill and understanding”. Now turn to Daniel 10:5-7, here Daniel gives a description of the Angel Gabriel, which if you will turn to Revelation 1:12, 14-15, John sees the same thing.


Now skip down to Daniel 10:21, where we see Gabriel telling Daniel that He will show him what is noted in the scriptures of truth. Gabriel also tells Daniel that the only other Angel that knows these things is Michael.


We have read how every time an Angel is sent to give the understanding of visions. Hopefully, now, you understand that the Holy Ghost is an Angel. As a matter of fact, every time a name is given to this Angel, it is Gabriel. The Holy Angel, Gabriel, is the Comforter/Spirit of Truth.


In all this I cannot find, God the Holy Ghost. If there is a God the Holy Ghost, then tell me, please, what is His name?


The Father’s name is Jesus; the Son’s name before He became flesh and came in the Father’s name was Jehovah. The Angel, (Holy Spirit) that stands in the Presence of God, and bears record in Heaven is Gabriel.


When the Son and the Holy Spirit come in these latter times, they come in the name of Jesus. “For there is no other name given whereby men may be saved, but Jesus”, Acts 4:12.
So, as you read the Holy Scriptures, open your eyes and you will see that you don’t see No God the Holy Ghost.

Hi,

I think it's interesting your post about the holy spirit. can you explain me one thing?
What did the angel gabriel mean here: "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."
What is this holy spirit that angel Gabriel was talking about?

Thank you!

Greetings Marcelo,

First I want to thank you for reading our post. Now as to your question (Luke 1:34-35) The Spirit that Gabriel is talking about is also an Angel, because all of God’s work that He commands is done by Angels, Psalm 104:4, 30. So what is your take on the Angels? For they are an innumerable company, Hebrews 12:22; what were they doing? They were carrying out the commandments of God; following orders in creating. When the Lord created man from the dust of the ground, Genesis 2:7, it was an Angel that formed man, Psalm 104:30; as it also was in Genesis 1:1-30; it was the Spirit of God (Angel) that renewed the earth.

At that time there were not devils or Angel’s that had sinned, for all the Angels sang together and shouted for joy, Job 38:4-7, at the foundation of the Earth. So when the Lord said, “A body thou has prepared for me”, Hebrews 10:5—because, He was a Spirit, and Spirit beings cannot die—a body was prepared for Him.

That Seed that was spoken of at the foundation of the Earth, Genesis 3:15, was said to be the woman’s seed. Now, wait a minute, man has the seed not the woman. So, what is this seed that the woman has? Let’s trace this seed and see who the Father is. Turn to Genesis 17:1-5, here we read that the Lord made a covenant with Abraham. Now turn to Genesis 22:15-18, where we read that Abraham’s seed will be multiplied as the stars of heaven and in his seed shall all nations of the Earth be blessed. Let’s see what this seed is, turn to Galatians 3:8, 16, we see that this seed is Christ. The Seed was the body that was prepared for Him; that was planted into Mary’s body by the Holy Spirit/Angel, as commanded by the Lord, Luke 1:34-35.

Now, if the Lord can make dirt walk and talk, be self-sustaining, and procreate, he can certainly create a body and have it planted in a virgin by the Holy Angel (Ghost), so that He would have a body to offer for the sons of the people. So to answer your question, it was an Angel that would over shadow Mary and plant the Seed in her that was from God the Father.

I have a question for you, Marcelo, what is your explanation of those verses? I want to thank you again for your comment, I have not posted in a while and your question has given me motivation for an upcoming post.
