What Science still has not been able to understand is the human mind. This is what distinguishes us from all other living matter. Humans know that we know and we have boundless imagination and abilities. Yet there is a spirit in man as the Scripture says which is like a great computer that empowers the mind and records all events. We each have the ability to learn the knowledge of the 'tree of good and evil' as our 1st parents did in the Book of Genesis.
But man is incomplete and needs God's Holy Spirit (aka the Spirit of Christ) to be begotten into the God Family. In John's Gospel, he speaks several times of God the Father and Christ Himself, coming into the converted Christian, begetting them and helping him/her in this world by growing spiritually like a human embroy grows physically from inception. This is exactly what our perfect example, Jesus had happen to Him as the now only begotten of the Father. We are promised if we hold true to the end, to be changed in a flash into spiritual sons and daughters of the God Family - truly born again.
Refusing God's Holy Spirit or losing it after receiving it by willful disobedience, will condemn the individual and their conscience to die the 2nd and final death in the Lake of Fire during the final Resurrection.
The Holy Spirit is believed to be a divine entity that guides and empowers believers in Christianity, while conscience is an inner sense of right or wrong. The Holy Spirit is understood to be a spiritual presence that offers guidance and comfort, while conscience is a moral compass based on individual beliefs and values.
One could say that all people, regardless of what religion they follow (if any), have a conscience that guides them to do good and avoid evil, while Christians say it is the Holy Spirit that guides them to do good and avoid evil. It would seem that conscience and the Holy Spirit work in the same way, with the same influence on the person. Ultimately, the difference is a matter of faith.
No, saying that Jesus was possessed by the Holy Spirit is a common belief in Christian theology. It reflects the understanding that Jesus, as both divine and human, was empowered by the Holy Spirit in his ministry on earth.
Faith as a fruit of the spirit refers to the development and manifestation of strong belief and trust in God that naturally grows within a person over time as they walk with the Holy Spirit. On the other hand, faith as a gift of the Holy Spirit is a supernatural endowment of faith that is bestowed by the Holy Spirit upon a person for a specific purpose or season. Both are important aspects of the Christian faith, with one being a result of spiritual growth and the other being a divine enablement for specific circumstances.
No, the tomato is not considered a fruit of the Holy Spirit. The fruits of the Holy Spirit are virtues such as love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control.
In the Gospel of John, the words Holy Spirit is used 5 times. In Johns other books (1st, 2nd, 3rd John, and Revelations) the words Holy Spirit are not used. But the word Spirit is use many times, referring to the Spirit of God or Holy Spirit, approximately 40 times in the New International Version of the Holy Bible.
The Holy Spirit is mentioned around 90 times in the New Testament. It plays a significant role in guiding, empowering, and inspiring believers. The Holy Spirit is often referred to as the helper, comforter, and advocate.
we can pass the holy spirit to others , there is difference between spirit passing and anointing a person.
There is no difference. It is the same thing. The Holy Spirit and the Holy Ghost are the same thing, you can call it one or the other. The Holy Ghost is the ONLY ghost there are no such things as ghosts besides the Holy Ghost
It depends what you mean by "normal". If it is not the Holy Spirit then there is none.
Nothing more than christianic doctrine ideologies and christianic theories. You'll always need to be filled with the Holy Spirit.
There is no difference, they are indeed the same.
I suppose that's indirect. The Holy Spirit is what enters you upon salvation. It acts as your conscience (there is a reference for that, I dont particularly know it though.) and your guilt and what not. So indirectly, your conscience leads your actions and what you do that you deem right or wrong. So the Holy Spirit is your counselor to every single action you do already anyways.
No. The difference arises because of the different translations of the bible. The King James version of the bible uses the word 'Ghost' while most other versions use the word 'Spirit'.
Jews and a minority of Christians believe that the Holy Spirit Is God's Power, while a majority of Christians believe that the Holy Spirit IS God (Third Person Of the Trinity).
A dove is a symbol of the Holy Spirit.
