the holy of spirit is in the bible but not the holy spirit. spirit is genitive when it says holy spirit or the holy spirit, and it's always translated into english in the nominative case. what the bible really says is 'the holy of spirit". Amazing that no one knows this./

What is the point of your thread?

What is the point of your thread?
to show that the bible either never said 'the holy spirit, or that it said it next to never. Thus far, i've discovered that the bible says 'the holy spirit" next to never. Assuming that a genitive the and genitive holy, and a genitive noun spirit counts. the significance of this is that ('i've only found one instance of 'the holy spirit ' in the bible.) the one instance of 'the holy spirit' in the bible lends heavy weight to it being a personification. If there were bunches of scripture saying 'the holy spirit", then the likely hood of it being a personification would be greatly reduced.

So either choose that the one use of 'the holy spirit' is a personification, something that makes sense.

or

decide that the one use of 'the holy spirit' indicates 3 gods that are one god but you only call them god when you aren't adding them up if you add the 3 gods up you call them persons, which of course makes zero sense.

I suppose you are correct, however matthew 28.19 isn't scripture, and I think it's the only one that says that, or perhaps one of the very few. I did a feeble search and found no instances of a genitive holy spirit having a definite article in front of it.
So, I'm looking this up and here's what I see in both the "Textus Receptus" AND "Morphological GNT":

καί (kai - meaning "and") τοῦ (ho - from the root )ἁγίου(hagios - from the root ἅγιος meaning "of the holy") πνεύματος (pneuma - from the root πνεῦμα meaning "ghost")

So, it reads: "and of the holy ghost". :)

So you admit that the text renders "and of the Holy Ghost" but you maintain that there's no instances of "the Holy Spirit." How does your admission here fit into your overall assertions? What are you trying to say in light of what you just accepted?

Wrong. Read John 8:24
Jesus said the same thing God said" I AM." Read John 1:1
I say I am all the time, doesn't mean I am god. in john 8 Jesus said I am around 4 times, but all of them are translated as 'I am he' except for john 8.58. In john 8.58 Jesus was saying I am he, the christ.

I do not believe that God's words changed into a 2 cell fetus. I believe the word of god became flesh in a figurative sense, because Jesus is the fulfillment of the word of God.


Jeremiah 31:22 - How long wilt thou go about, O thou backsliding daughter? for the LORD hath created a new thing in the earth, A woman shall compass a man.


the new thing God created was new human male seed. the woman in this verse is Mary, and compass a man means Mary went around a man to conceive.

Thus Jesus is the firstborn of this new creation. It's what "the firstborn of all creation" means.

No one understands trinity, It is not understandable. One can only believe it or not believe it, but no one can understand it because it is a contradiction, and contradictions are not understandable. 3 is one is a contradiction.

I understand it. The Holy Spirit taught me. It makes sense to me.

Jesus was with YHWH from the beginning. That is why I gave you john 1:1. That also coincides with John 8:24.
God didnt make "special sperm" to create Jesus you foolish man! Mary immaculately conceived. Do you know what that means? Jesus is GOD. You cannot be reborn again without believing this! Jesus walked the earth fully man fully God.
