Answer 2

who is the holy spirit? Not only is the Holy Spirit is God, the Spirit is a full person of the Trinity. What is meant by that? The Spirit can be addressed as 'you' by other 'I's (such as you and me), and can respond as an 'I'. The Spirit is an 'I', able to take action and cause action. The Spirit is able to be a 'we' with other 'I's. Scripture shows that the Holy Spirit is a person and is God : the fact that the Spirit's work in the Old Testament is closely identified with the Word of YHWH spoken by the prophets (this was affirmed by the early church in 2 Peter 1:21);
. the close ties between Jesus' mission and the work of the Spirit (see the work of the Spirit);
. the close ties between the mission of the apostles and the work of the Spirit; esp. see 1 Peter 1:12;
. The episode with Hananiah (Ananias) in Acts 5, where first, Peter says that Hananiah lied to the Holy Spirit, then later says that he lied not to men but to God;
. The trinitarian baptismal formula found in Scripture (Matt 28:19): "in the name of the Father and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit". It dates to the church's earliest days;
. Jesus made a habit of confronting traditions with "box-breaking" actions. He ate with tax collectors and sinners, He turned over the tables of the money changers in the temple, He talked to the woman at the well, He healed the occupier-centurion's daughter. The Holy Spirit does the same kind of thing in Acts, and ever since.
The Holy Spirit :
speaks (Acts 13:2),
intercedes (Romans 8:26),
testifies (John 15:26)
guides (John 16:13),
commands (Acts 16:6,7),
appoints (Acts 20:28),
leads (Romans 8:14),
reproves and convicts of sin (John 16:8).
seals God's promise in believers' hearts (Ephesians 1:13-14)
shapes the individual's and community's life to Christ's (Romans 8:1-17)
In Scripture, the Holy Spirit has intellect, emotions, and will, and can be grieved.
The Spirit can act in whatever manner the Spirit wants to act. The Spirit generally acts through the church, but doesn't have to; the Wind blows where it will. The Spirit also doesn't have to always be seriously focused on those purposes; the Spirit's got a playful side.
This is all stuff that can't be true of an emanation or a (or even 'The') Force. That is usually how we experience the Spirit and know of the Spirit's presence, but that is not what the Spirit is . As God, the Spirit is cause, and that cause has effect. et, there are those in the Christian churches who reduce the Holy Spirit to a force. Or, to a collective will or a living memory of the Body, or the force of emotion or conscience within a person. Those people, fine as they are, are describing a different spirit than the Holy Spirit of the Christian faith. The Spirit works in all of these ways and more, yet against all of that at times.

THE SPIRIT IN THE OLD TESTAMENT
The Spirit shows up in the Old Testament (OT), especially in the prophets' books.
. The OT does not use nepesh (soul of earthly beings) to describe God. It uses ruach.
. The OT does not present ruach as the mediator between God and humans. The Spirit is God at work, not a go-between. The word ruach is a movement of air (wind, breath)
. There are 'general' references to the Spirit of God, such as in Gen 44:38 on the lips of a non-believer. When that happens, the term may have been used to mean 'divine spirit', a recognition that a god (whomever the god is) is at work, that some sort of power or authority beyond the usual is rather obviously causing things to happen.
. The Messiah is said by Isaiah to be specially endowed with the Spirit : Isaiah 11:2; 42:1; 61:1.
. The Spirit is seen as God's presence in the hearts of each believer : Psalm 51:11; Psalm 139:7.
. In Ezekiel (37:9) and Isaiah (34:16; 48:16; 63:10), there is a hint of personality, unlike in the rest of the Hebrew Scriptures.
In the main OT Jewish way of looking at it, the Spirit was a life force or energy of God, the operational side of what a Christian would term "the Father", rather than a Person in the Trinitarian sense. A psalmist speaks of God's 'Spirit' acting in a personal way (Psalm 143:10), but the use of 'spirit' there is probably another way to say 'God' (Hebrew poetry uses many ways to say the same or similar things). Isaiah and Ezekiel give hints toward envisioning the person-ness of the Spirit, but it is not until the writings between the testaments that this vision takes on a clearer shape, and not until Christ that it is given its full dimension.

Answer 3

the Holy Spirit is the Spirit of God.
the Holy Trinity is:
God the Father
God the Son and
God the Holy Spirit
it is the same as a finger.one finger is divided into three parts and these three parts form one finger.same way the Holy Trinity is three yet One.

Answer 4

I believe that the Holy Spirit is simply the presence of God. Jesus was called "Immanuel" which means God with us. The Trinity is God the father, Jesus the son, and the Holy Spirit the presence of God. Remember though, that if someone tells you something and it is not in the Bible or any of the 14 Apocryphal Books then that person is wrong and you should let them know of there mistake. Including me. If what I have told you is wrong then I am wrong. You must always study things out for your self. To help you do this go to www.sacred-text.com and look up the Bible and the Apocryphal Books on your own. The Bible tells us to study. But remember it also says that we can believe a lie and be damned, so study.

Answer 5

The Holy Spirit is God and the Holy Trinity is the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit; usually this is all said-- about the Holy Trinity-- during Church with a hand touching your forehead, heart, left side of chest and then the right side.

Thank you for reading and hope I have helped! =)

Answer 6

1Corinthians 3:17 Now YHWH is the Spirit and where the Spirit of YHWH is, there is freedom.

Acts 2:17-18..God says: I shall pour out some of my spirit..

Ephesians 2:22 ..you, too are being built up together into a place for God to inhabit, by spirit.

John 4:26 God is a Spirit, and...

Some churches teach that The Father, Son, and Holy Spirit are 3 persons, co-equal, co-eternal; the trinity.

In all my study, I can only find 2 persons in the Bible, and they are not co-equal or co-eternal.

But the bible does mention the Father, the Son and the holy spirit, so much study will tell you the truth about them.

Answer 7

The Holy spirit is the Third part of the Holy Trinity. The doctrine of the Trinity states that God is a single Being who exists, simultaneously and eternally, as a perichoresis of three persons (personae, prosopa): Father (the Source, the Eternal Majesty); the Son (the eternal Logos or Word, incarnate as Jesus of Nazareth); and the Holy Spirit (the Paraclete or advocate). Since the 4th Century AD, in both Eastern and Western Christianity, this doctrine has been stated as "One God in Three Persons," all three of whom, as distinct and co-eternal "persons" or "hypostases," share a single Divine essence, being, or nature. Supporting the doctrine of the Trinity is known as Trinitarianism, and is opposed to the positions of Binitarianism (two deities/persons/aspects), and Unitarianism (one deity/person/aspect), which are held by some Christian groups.

Answer 8

In the Old Testament, God the Father was the one who communicated directly with humans. In the New Testament, he stopped talking to humans and instead sent Jesus. Shortly after Jesus left the mortal plane, the Holy Spirit, considered to now be the part of the Trinity that dwells on earth, descended in an event that is now called Pentecost--there's a good bit about it right at the beginning of the book of Acts.

Answer 9

The Holy Spirit is God, the third person of the Holy Trinity, co-eternal and co-equal with God the Father and God the Son.

The Father, Son, and Holy Spirit (the Holy Trinity) are the three divine persons who constitute the essence of the one, true God.

The Holy Spirit is said to "proceed" from the Father and the Son.

From the Catechism of the Catholic Church:

"What the soul is to the human body, the Holy Spirit is to the Body of Christ, which is the Church."243 "To this Spirit of Christ, as an invisible principle, is to be ascribed the fact that all the parts of the body are joined one with the other and with their exalted head; for the whole Spirit of Christ is in the head, the whole Spirit is in the body, and the whole Spirit is in each of the members."244 The Holy Spirit makes the Church "the temple of the living God":245

Indeed, it is to the Church herself that the "Gift of God" has been entrusted. . . . In it is in her that communion with Christ has been deposited, that is to say: the Holy Spirit, the pledge of incorruptibility, the strengthening of our faith and the ladder of our ascent to God. . . . For where the Church is, there also is God's Spirit; where God's Spirit is, there is the Church and every grace.246

798 The Holy Spirit is "the principle of every vital and truly saving action in each part of the Body."247 He works in many ways to build up the whole Body in charity:248 by God's Word "which is able to build you up";249 by Baptism, through which he forms Christ's Body;250 by the sacraments, which give growth and healing to Christ's members; by "the grace of the apostles, which holds first place among his gifts";251 by the virtues, which make us act according to what is good; finally, by the many special graces (called "charisms"), by which he makes the faithful "fit and ready to undertake various tasks and offices for the renewal and building up of the Church."252

Answer 10

I believe that the Holy Spirit is part of the Holy Trinity.

Below is what I found in wikipedia. I hope it addresses your concern.

In mainstream Christianity, the Holy Spirit is one of the three divine persons of the Holy Trinity which make up the single substance of God, the others being God the Father and God the Son (Jesus). The Holy Spirit is different from Jesus in that He does not have a physical manifestation (or incarnation), and that it frequently dwells in and amongst God's people as a spiritual guide or a Comforter.

Christians believe He is the Holy Spirit who leads people to faith in Jesus and the one who gives them the ability to lead a Christian life. The Spirit dwells inside every true Christian, each one's body being His temple (1 Corinthians 3:16). He is depicted as a 'Counselor' or 'Helper' (paracletus in Latin, derived from Greek), guiding them in the way of the truth. The Spirit's action in one's life is believed to produce positive results, known as the Fruits of the Spirit. The Spirit is also believed to give gifts (i.e. abilities) to Christians. These may include the charismatic gifts such as prophecy, tongues, healing, and knowledge. Christians holding a view known as cessationism believe these gifts were given only in New Testament times. Christians almost universally agree that certain more mundane "spiritual gifts" are still in effect today, including the gifts of ministry, teaching, giving, leadership, and mercy (see, e.g. Romans 12:6-8). In some sects of Christianity, the experience of the Holy Spirit is referred to as being "anointed".

Jesus describes the Holy Spirit as the promised "Comforter" (i.e. "strengthener", "fortifier") in John 14:26. After His resurrection, Christ told His disciples that they would be "baptized with the Holy Ghost", and would receive power from this event (Acts 1:4-8), a promise that was fulfilled in the events recounted in the second chapter of Acts. On the first Pentecost, Jesus' disciples were gathered in Jerusalem when a mighty wind was heard and tongues of fire appeared over their heads. A multilingual crowd heard the disciples speaking, and each of them heard them speaking in his or her native language.

In John's Gospel, emphasis is placed not upon what the Holy Spirit did for Jesus, but upon Jesus giving the Spirit to His disciples. This "Higher" Christology, most influential in later development of Trinitarian doctrine, sees Jesus as a sacrificial lamb, and as coming among mankind in order to grant the Spirit of God to humanity.

Although the language used to describe Jesus' receiving the Spirit in John's Gospel is parallel to the accounts in the other three Gospels, John relates this with the aim of showing that Jesus is specially in possession of the Spirit for the purpose of granting the Spirit to His followers, uniting them with Himself, and in Himself also uniting them with the Father. (See Raymond Brown, "The Gospel According to John", chapter on Pneumatology). In John, the gift of the Spirit is equivalent to eternal life, knowledge of God, power to obey, and communion with one another and with the Father.
