Don't worry, i did not not and can not go through all that, sorry but you haven't answered me:

Q. Why does the indwelling of the HS happen only when Jesus goes? what is the connection between the indwelling of the HS and Jesus going? i mean, the HS was already there with the disciples and they knew Him but He could not indwell them until Jesus goes.

Again, what is the connection between the indwelling of the HS and Jesus going?

It was imperative that Jesus died and rose again for the salvation of men: see Mat_20:19; Mat_26:2; Mar_9:31; Mar_10:33, Luk_9:44; Luk_18:32.

This is his "going away." Without his death and resurrection there is no salvation.

Further to this Jesus could only be bodily present in one place at one time, but in Mat 18:20 Jesus said, "For where two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them."

So, Jesus paid the penalty for our sins, went away into Glory and returned again in the Spirit. He is with us today as we can see in the above scripture.

The unity of Jesus, the Holy Spirit, and the Father can be seen when Jesus told us "All that the Father has is mine; therefore I said that he (the Holy Spirit) will take what is mine and declare it to you." (Joh 16:15 ESV)

It was not a dove. A dove fly's over where it is landing and softly settles down, The Holy Spirit is a person and he came upon Jesus in this manner. The Holy Spirit is the Spirit of Jesus
No ,the Holy Spirit is not "the spirit of Jesus"

Of course you are wrong.

John 14: 28You heard Me say, ‘I am going away, and I am coming back to you.’ If you loved Me, you would rejoice thatI am going to the Father, because the Father is greater than I.

John 16:5Now, however,I am going to Him who sent Me; yet none of you asks Me, ‘Where are You going?’

John 16:28I came from the Father and entered the world. In turn, I will leave the world and go to the Father.”


Even after resurrection, Jesus was still insisting that He is 'going'.

John 20:17“Do not cling to Me,” Jesus said, “for I have not yet ascended to the Father. But go and tell My brothers, ‘I am ascending to My Father and your Father, to My God and your God.’”

Try again, the death of Jesus was not His going.

Christ accomplished his mission of salvation by his death and resurrection. After which he made himself known to others and continued teaching.

He appeared to Mary Magdalene, to two men on the road to Emmaus, the disciples and he said to “Thomas, Bring your finger here and see My hands, and bring your hand and thrust into My side, and be not unbelieving, but believing. And Thomas answered and said to Him, my Master and my Elohim! Yahshua said to him, Because you have seen Me, Thomas, you have believed. Blessed are the ones not seeing me and believing. (Joh 20:27-29)

His work accomplished with even the stone rolled away from the sepulchre bearing witness to his resurrection, he returned from whence he came, without leaving us comfortless, to reign over us eternally and to prepare a place for us. That my friend was the reason for his going. If I have omitted anything, please tell me. I might learn something.

Then you missed the point. After His resurrection, Jesus still insisted that He had not yet gone to the Father:

John 20:17“Do not cling to Me,” Jesus said, “for I have not yet ascended to the Father. But go and tell My brothers, ‘I am ascending to My Father andyour Father, to My God and your God.’”

And we know the 'going' was to the Father:

John 14: 28You heard Me say, ‘I am going away, and I am coming back to you.’ If you loved Me, you would rejoice thatI am going to the Father,because the Father is greater than I.

John 16:5Now, however,I am going to Him who sent Me; yet none of you asks Me, ‘Where are You going?’

John 16:28I came from the Father and entered the world. In turn, I will leave the world and go to the Father.”

So, the going was not about His death or the rolled tomb stone or the appearance after resurrection, the 'going' was about ascension.

Till all was accomplished. Job done! Then, he returned to the Father AFTER he had done the Father's will.

Saying, Father, if thou be willing, remove this cup from me: nevertheless not my will, but thine, be done. (Luk 22:42)

Good thing God communicates to us with the intention of letting us understand; so if He says He is one then the one must be the 'one' that we understand.
Why would we completely know while we are yet human and God is Spirit? We will know when we are there with Him!

But! Jesus does want us to know that we within our humanity, carry the same Holy Spirit that He is and was in His human form. Not all the Godhead but the measure we can contain.

I see now the scripture declares that Holy Spirit is both the Spirit of Christ, and the Spirit of Father. Yet, He too has presence. I didn't see this at the beginning of this thread.

I believe that when Jesus told Mary not to touch Him, He had not gone into heaven to administer His blood upon the altar before Father. That He first did this, then appeared to others.

Can't yet prove it was this way, but we know from writings that His blood is there now speaking over all the earth.

No ,the Holy Spirit is not "the spirit of Jesus"
Well yes, He is. Also the Spirit of Father.

Romans 8:9 But ye are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit, if so be that the Spirit of God dwell in you. Now if any man have not the Spirit of Christ, he is none of his.


Romans 8:9 But ye are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit, if so be that the Spirit of God dwell in you. Now if any man have not the Spirit of Christ, he is none of his.

It's good to be flexible in our understanding.

First I thought too- Spirit of Jesus

I'd say now -different functions? of both in one Holy Spirit.

Possibly we cannot fully comprehend.
