Is the Holy Spirit the Spirit of God?

Question

If yes, is there a verse in the Bible that proves it?

Answer 1

1 Corinthians 12:3
Therefore I make known to you that no one speaking by the Spirit of God says, "Jesus is accursed"; and no one can say, "Jesus is Lord," except by the Holy Spirit.

Close as you are going to get. God's Spirit is Holy, which is generally accepted and understood by all believers.

Answer 2

The biggest mistake often made with regard to the Holy Spirit is referring to the Spirit as "it," which the Bible never does. This is because the Holy Spirit is a person. He has the attributes of personhood, performs the actions of persons, and has personal relationships. He has insight (1 Corinthians 2:10-11). He knows things, which requires an intellect (Romans 8:27). He has a will (1 Corinthians 12:11). He convicts of sin (John 16:8). He performs miracles (Acts 8:39). He guides (John 16:13). He intercedes between persons (Romans 8:26). He is to be obeyed (Acts 10:19-20). He can be lied to (Acts 5:3), resisted (Acts 7:51), grieved (Ephesians 4:30), blasphemed (Matthew 12:31), even insulted (Hebrews 10:29). He relates to the apostles (Acts 15:28), and to each member of the Trinity (John 16:14; Matthew 28:19; 2 Corinthians 13:14).

Answer 3

Hi thebest. Yes, there are many verses in the Bible that tell us that the Father, the Son and the Holy Ghost are one. But I'll just list one. In 1 John 5:7 God tells us very clearly that all three are One:

"For there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost: and these three are one."

The Word that God is telling us about is Jesus Christ. In John 1:14 God teaches us:

"And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth."

There is no doubt that with these verses, and many more in the Bible, God is telling us that the Father, Son and the Holy Spirit are one. And that one is Jesus Christ.

Answer 4

They mean the same thing. At Genesis 1:2 the Bible states that "God's active force ["spirit" (Hebrew, ru'ach)] was moving to and fro over the surface of the waters." Here, God's spirit was his active force working to shape the earth.

God uses his spirit to enlighten those who serve him. David prayed: "Teach me to do your will, for you are my God. Your spirit [ru'ach] is good; may it lead me in the land of uprightness." (Psalm 143:10) When 70 capable men were appointed to help Moses, God said to him: "I shall have to take away some of the spirit [ru'ach] that is upon you and place it upon them."—Numbers 11:17.

Bible prophecy was recorded when men of God were "borne along by holy spirit [Greek, from pneu'ma]." (2 Peter 1:20, 21) In this way the Bible was "inspired of God," the Greek word for which is The·o'pneu·stos, meaning "God-breathed." (2 Timothy 3:16) And holy spirit guided certain people to see visions or to have prophetic dreams.—2 Samuel 23:2; Joel 2:28, 29; Luke 1:67; Acts 1:16; 2:32, 33.

The holy spirit impelled Jesus to go into the wilderness after his baptism. (Mark 1:12) The spirit was like a fire within God's servants, causing them to be energized by that force. And it enabled them to speak out boldly and courageously.—Micah 3:8; Acts 7:55-60; 18:25; Romans 12:11; 1 Thessalonians 5:19.

By his spirit, God carries out his judgments on men and nations. (Isaiah 30:27, 28; 59:18, 19) And God's spirit can reach everywhere, acting for people or against them.—Psalm 139:7-12.

The New Catholic Encyclopedia: "The O[ld] T[estament] clearly does not envisage God's spirit as a person . . . God's spirit is simply God's power. If it is sometimes represented as being distinct from God, it is because the breath of Yahweh acts exteriorly." It also says: "The majority of N[ew] T[estament] texts reveal God's spirit as something, not someone; this is especially seen in the parallelism between the spirit and the power of God."

A Catholic Dictionary: "On the whole, the New Testament, like the Old, speaks of the spirit as a divine energy or power."

Answer 5

The Holy Spirit is one part of the Trinity - Father, Son and Holy Spirit. It is the Spirit of God because it is God. The Holy Spirit guides the life of someone who has excepted Jesus Christ as their Savior. It will never guide you against the Bible, God's Word. You can't completely understand the Trinity - Three yet One. Our minds are too finite.

Answer 6

The Universal Father, the Eternal Son and the Infinite Holy Spirit are ALL and EACH absolute spiritual beings.

As the Trinity, i.e., in concert together they are GOD.

Separately, however, God the Father, is viewed as GOD by higher beings, angels of all ranks, and enlightened people on earth.

Nevertheless, the Eternal Son and the Infinite Holy Spirit are equal members of the Trinity.

The Infinite Holy Spirit has overall authority for Mind Ministry to all lesser beings.

Therefore, your question should be addressed in the first instance to the Holy Spirit.

The Holy Spirit has delegated this authority within our Superuniverse to the Seventh Master Spirit.

Therefore all progressing earthlings receive instruction from the Seventh Master Spirit, and from many lesser Spirits and Angels.

The Angels who minister to humans work under the overall direction of the Holy Spirit.

For all practical purposes, even if a lesser member of the family of the Holy Spirit ministers to you, it is as the ministry of The Infinite Spirit (the Absolute Spirit) to you.

A human cannot stand directly before any member of The Trinity until that human has become a perfected spiritual being.

The road to this highly desirable status begins by accepting Christ as "the way, the truth, and the life."

Christ visited our planet as Jesus to light the beginning of this path for us.

Here is a mystery -- for you, but not for all -- "No one comes to the Father (from this planet) except by Christ."

This is TRUE. But it does not mean only members of a 'Christian' church will see the Father.

Rather, it means that all worthy people from earth will be saved, resurrected to eternal life -- by Christ -- and one day Christ himself will congratulate them and send them on their way to God the Father.

People who are spiritually thirsty can follow hints and pointers a good deal faster than other people who put many lesser things first.

However, some lesser things ARE important.

You should feed BODY, MIND, and SPIRIT while you are here.

And never doubt that God has ordained this path for you, if and only if you will accept sonship or daughtership, even as a little child -- trusting.

You can trust God absolutely.

Christ resurrected Lazarus for an example to all future generations....

But God will help you much even during this lifetime.
