Is the Holy Spirit a entity?

Answer 1

There are many misconceptions on the identity of the Holy Spirit. Some view the Holy Spirit as a mystical force. Others understand the Holy Spirit as the impersonal power God makes available to followers of Christ. The bible actually says nothing about the "holy spirit". In the new testament there are references to mystical expereinces, whereby people are overcome with emotion, but nothing that is real. The early Christians used the idea to gain converts to their "powerful" religion and god, but it is just a joke or sham.

In Acts 5:3-4. Peter confronts Ananias as to why he had lied to the Holy Spirit and tells him that he had “not lied to men but to God.” It is a clear declaration that lying to the Christian "cause" or spirit is wrong and will get you in big trouble.
In Psalm 139:7-8, “Where can I go from Your Spirit? Or where can I flee from Your presence? If I ascend into heaven, You are there; If I make my bed in hell, behold, You are there.” In 1 Corinthians 2:10, . “But God has revealed them to us through His Spirit. For the Spirit searches all things, yes, the deep things of God. For what man knows the things of a man except the spirit of the man which is in him? Even so no one knows the things of God except the Spirit of God.” we understand that working well and doing good things brinsg us closer to the spirit of Christianity, and the nature of God.

Answer 2

There are many misconceptions on the identity of the Holy Spirit. Some view the Holy Spirit as a mystical force. Others understand the Holy Spirit as the impersonal power God makes available to followers of Christ. What does the Bible say about the identity of the Holy Spirit? Simply put - the Bible says that the Holy Spirit is God. The Bible also tells us that the Holy Spirit is a Person, a Being with a mind, emotions, and a will.

The fact that the Holy Spirit is God is clearly seen in many Scriptures including Acts 5:3-4. In this verse Peter confronts Ananias as to why he had lied to the Holy Spirit and tells him that he had “not lied to men but to God.” It is a clear declaration that lying to the Holy Spirit is lying to God. We can also know that the Holy Spirit is God because He possesses the attributes or characteristics of God. For example, the fact that the Holy Spirit is omnipresent is seen in Psalm 139:7-8, “Where can I go from Your Spirit? Or where can I flee from Your presence? If I ascend into heaven, You are there; If I make my bed in hell, behold, You are there.” Then in 1 Corinthians 2:10, we see the characteristic of omniscience in the Holy Spirit. “But God has revealed them to us through His Spirit. For the Spirit searches all things, yes, the deep things of God. For what man knows the things of a man except the spirit of the man which is in him? Even so no one knows the things of God except the Spirit of God.”

We can know that the Holy Spirit is indeed a Person because He possesses a mind, emotions, and a will. The Holy Spirit thinks and knows (1 Corinthians 2:10). The Holy Spirit can be grieved (Ephesians 4:30). The Spirit intercedes for us (Romans 8:26-27). The Holy Spirit makes decisions according to His will (1 Corinthians 12:7-11). The Holy Spirit is God, the third “Person” of the Trinity. As God, the Holy Spirit can truly function as the Comforter and Counselor that Jesus promised He would be (John 14:16,26; 15:26).

Answer 3

The Holy Spirit is God, equivalent to the daddy and the Son. The Holy Spirit has no identifiable type with which to 'pin Him down', yet seems with the aid of the Bible in many varieties, maximum quite as a dove, and as tongues of fireplace. one ought to declare that the Holy Spirit is the 'workhorse' of the Godhead, doing the jobs mandatory to allow our Lord, to do His. however the Holy Spirit (Ghost), does not have an identifiable 'voice' interior the Bible and is under no circumstances seen as a individual, and is as a result defenseless in responding to what others say approximately It. that is subsequently i think that our Lord observed as blasphemy against the Spirit, the unpardonable sin. As for ranting against the daddy and the Son, they don't look to be allowed the two, for the Bible tells us that we are going to all be held to blame for our words.

Answer 4

The Holy Spirit is a part of the trinity.

Answer 5

Yes. According to how I understand God He (or She if you prefer as God has no gender) is 3 and yet One. The Holy Spirit is part of the Triune Godhead and is distinct from the Father(Mother) and Son. Peace be with you

Answer 6

The Holy Spirit is one of the members of the triune God. God the Father and Jesus Christ, the Son of God, are the other two members of the Trinity.

Answer 7

"No one comprehends the thoughts of God except the Spirit of God."7 Now God's Spirit, who reveals God, makes known to us Christ, his Word, his living Utterance, but the Spirit does not speak of himself. The Spirit who "has spoken through the prophets" makes us hear the Father's Word, but we do not hear the Spirit himself. We know him only in the movement by which he reveals the Word to us and disposes us to welcome him in faith. The Spirit of truth who "unveils" Christ to us "will not speak on his own."8 Such properly divine self-effacement explains why "the world cannot receive [him], because it neither sees him nor knows him," while those who believe in Christ know the Spirit because he dwells with them.9


688
The Church, a communion living in the faith of the apostles which she transmits, is the place where we know the Holy Spirit:


in the Scriptures he inspired;

in the Tradition, to which the Church Fathers are always timely witnesses;

in the Church's Magisterium, which he assists;

in the sacramental liturgy, through its words and symbols, in which the Holy Spirit puts us into communion with Christ;

in prayer, wherein he intercedes for us;

in the charisms and ministries by which the Church is built up;

in the signs of apostolic and missionary life;

in the witness of saints through whom he manifests his holiness and continues the work of salvation.

I. The Joint Mission of the Son and the Spirit


689
The One whom the Father has sent into our hearts, the Spirit of his Son, is truly God.10 Consubstantial with the Father and the Son, the Spirit is inseparable from them, in both the inner life of the Trinity and his gift of love for the world. In adoring the Holy Trinity, life-giving, consubstantial, and indivisible, the Church's faith also professes the distinction of persons. When the Father sends his Word, he always sends his Breath. In their joint mission, the Son and the Holy Spirit are distinct but inseparable. To be sure, it is Christ who is seen, the visible image of the invisible God, but it is the Spirit who reveals him.


690
Jesus is Christ, "anointed," because the Spirit is his anointing, and everything that occurs from the Incarnation on derives from this fullness.11 When Christ is finally glorified,12 he can in turn send the Spirit from his place with the Father to those who believe in him: he communicates to them his glory,13 that is, the Holy Spirit who glorifies him.14 From that time on, this joint mission will be manifested in the children adopted by the Father in the Body of his Son: the mission of the Spirit of adoption is to unite them to Christ and make them live in him:


The notion of anointing suggests . . . that there is no distance between the Son and the Spirit. Indeed, just as between the surface of the body and the anointing with oil neither reason nor sensation recognizes any intermediary, so the contact of the Son with the Spirit is immediate, so that anyone who would make contact with the Son by faith must first encounter the oil by contact. In fact there is no part that is not covered by the Holy Spirit. That is why the confession of the Son's Lordship is made in the Holy Spirit by those who receive him, the Spirit coming from all sides to those who approach the Son in faith.15

Peace and every blessing!

Answer 8

Yes, and more.

The doctrine of the Holy Trinity states there is one true God who is made up of three separate but equal persons, the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit.

God, as the Holy Trinity, has always existed.

We know the least about the Holy Spirit. Most of what we know is through His (or Her) actions. He is never at rest. Symbols of the Holy Spirit are a flame and a flying dove.

"No one comprehends the thoughts of God except the Spirit of God." (1 Cor 2:11)

Now God's Spirit, who reveals God, makes known to us Christ, his Word, his living Utterance, but the Spirit does not speak of himself.

The Spirit who "has spoken through the prophets" makes us hear the Father's Word, but we do not hear the Spirit himself.

We know him only in the movement by which he reveals the Word to us and disposes us to welcome him in faith.

The Spirit of truth who "unveils" Christ to us "will not speak on his own." (John 16:13)

Such properly divine self-effacement explains why "the world cannot receive [him], because it neither sees him nor knows him," while those who believe in Christ know the Spirit because he dwells with them. (John 14:17)

With love in Christ.

Answer 9

Yes, he is a spirit being, no body.

Answer 10

yes
the holy spirit is one of Deity or God Head.
