The Will of God & The Role of The Holy Spirit

[Enow]

John 5:22 For the Father judgeth no man, but hath committed all judgment unto the Son: 23 That all men should honour the Son, even as they honour the Father. He that honoureth not the Son honoureth not the Father which hath sent him.

That is the will of God hanging over every believer in Jesus Christ in how we shall be judged.

The Holy Spirit is not mentioned in this place of honouring God the Father by. Neither is the Holy Spirit mentioned below in how God the Father is glorified by.

John 13:31 Therefore, when he was gone out, Jesus said, Now is the Son of man glorified, and God is glorified in him. 32 If God be glorified in him, God shall also glorify him in himself, and shall straightway glorify him.

Why isn't the Holy Spirit mentioned? His role as the Divine Witness ( yes, He is God) and the will of God excludes Him from worship. Consider this below:

John 16:13 Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak: and he will shew you things to come. 14 He shall glorify me:

The role of a witness excludes leading anyone in seeking their own glory, thus there would be unrighteousness in God for those led by the Spirit of God to seek the glory of the Holy Spirit.

John 5:31 If I bear witness of myself, my witness is not true.

John 7:18 He that speaketh of himself seeketh his own glory: but he that seeketh his glory that sent him, the same is true, and no unrighteousness is in him.

John the Baptist knew his role as a witness meant he had to decarese so that He may increase.

John 3:28 Ye yourselves bear me witness, that I said, I am not the Christ, but that I am sent before him. 29 He that hath the bride is the bridegroom: but the friend of the bridegroom, which standeth and heareth him, rejoiceth greatly because of the bridegroom's voice: this my joy therefore is fulfilled. 30 He must increase, but I must decrease.

So as we read the following verses, how can the Holy Spirit lead us to speak of Himself in seeking His own glory?

John 15:26 But when the Comforter is come, whom I will send unto you from the Father, even the Spirit of truth, which proceedeth from the Father, he shall testify of me: 27 And ye also shall bear witness, because ye have been with me from the beginning.

Answer: He cannot because He would not, but errant believers & wayward churches will err, not knowing the scripture. And when you have the errant Nicene creed leading many astray for its lack of scriptural validation of having the Holy Spirit worshipped with the Father & the Son, then may the Good Shepherd help us to have this single mind of Christ in how we worship & glorify God in Jesus Christ.

Philippians 2:5 Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus: 6 Who, being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God: 7 But made himself of no reputation, and took upon him the form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men: 8 And being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself, and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross. 9 Wherefore God also hath highly exalted him, and given him a name which is above every name: 10 That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth; 11 And that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.

It is the same to be had in fellowship:

1 Corinthians 2:2 For I determined not to know any thing among you, save Jesus Christ, and him crucified.

And in the hymnals:

Colossians 3:16 Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom; teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord. 17 And whatsoever ye do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God and the Father by him.

Since the indwelling Holy Spirit is still pointing believers to go to the Father by way of the Son, to testify of the Son in seeking the glory of the Son, and thereby the Father's as well, we should also. This is why the Son is the Bridegroom as we are to be the chaste bride in relating to God through the Son. That is why all invitations points to the Son and none to the Holy Spirit because there are false spirits in the world that would seek to get inbetween us and the Son with signs and lying wonders so may the Good Shepherd enable believers to see the truth that the Son may set them free & return to our first love in prayer, in fellowship, in songs, and in worship. Amen.

Is not the will of God to save all men?

All .
-----------
We must answer the call by worshiping Him in spirit and truth, we must come prepared to 'the wedding feast .' Matthew 22: 1-14

 

[resurrection33]

I believe the Holy Spirit is God. We call him the Holy Spirit when he is communicating with us. We call him the Son when we talk about Jesus. We call him the Father when we talk about him as our Creator.

At this link below are several usage and application of the will of God.

BibleGateway.com - Keyword Search: will of God

Some references below as an example:

1 Thessalonians 4:13For this is the will of God, even your sanctification, that ye should abstain from fornication:

1 Thessalonians 5:18In every thing give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you.


As you can see here: the will of God can have different application.

As for your reference to the will of God:

1 Timothy 2:1I exhort therefore, that, first of all, supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks, be made for all men; 2 For kings, and for all that are in authority; that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and honesty. 3 For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Saviour; 4 Who will have all men to be saved, and to come unto the knowledge of the truth. 5 For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus; 6 Who gave himself a ransom for all, to be testified in due time.

This was a call for prayer for all men as our heart's desire should reflect that they may come to the knowledge of the truth and not have a heart that would not pray for any man just because we may not like them. Indeed, we are to pray for our enemies as well.

Matthew 5:44 But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you; 45 That ye may be the children of your Father which is in heaven: for he maketh his sun to rise on the evil and on the good, and sendeth rain on the just and on the unjust.

But just because the ransom was made for all, not everyone will come to the knowledge of the truth to be saved, but we are still called to pray for all men.

 

[Enow]

I believe the Holy Spirit is God. We call him the Holy Spirit when he is communicating with us. We call him the Son when we talk about Jesus. We call him the Father when we talk about him as our Creator.

Yes: The Holy Spirit is God, but as dwelling within you, He is still pointing you to the Son in relating to God the Father, because there are many false spirits in the world that would try to get inbetween us and the Son like a thief, taking away our prayer time with Him with babbling nonsense that edifies not, thus robbing the Son of the opportunity to answer our prayers that we would have asked Him for.

The Holy Spirit is speaking to us, but it is what He hears that He is speaking and thus why Jesus Christ is the Good Shepherd to have our eyes on the Son in relating to and in following.

Matthew 10:19 But when they deliver you up, take no thought how or what ye shall speak: for it shall be given you in that same hour what ye shall speak. 20 For it is not ye that speak, but the Spirit of your Father which speaketh in you.

John 16:13 Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak: and he will shew you things to come. 14 He shall glorify me: for he shall receive of mine, and shall shew it unto you. 15 All things that the Father hath are mine: therefore said I, that he shall take of mine, and shall shew it unto you.

John 14:26 But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you.

So let us not lose sight of the Son Whom is communicating to us through the Holy Spirit. That is why we do not speak by way of the Holy Spirit back to Him as we are to go to the Father by way of the Son because the Son is called the Bridegroom for that reason in how we, as the chaste bride of Christ, should be relating to God through.

The Holy Spirit leads us to all truth. Jesus is 'The Truth.'

Curious? Do you believe in God as the Father, God as the Son, God as the Holy Spirit, all three, One ?

If you do, then, what you say in your OP will change, for the Holy Spirit teaches THE INDIVIDUAL BELIEVER all truth, this is God in us, right? Jesus was 'God with us,' right?

So.....when one goes to the Son, the mediator to God, they are really going to who? Who did Jesus say He would give us, who was NOT an extension of Himself, not a seperate person, but He who is three, who is One. Right?

Is this what you believe regarding The Deity, woneHis ?

When said, and, this I pray the Lord leads me, He is who speaks through me, but the spirit that worships man is his own spirit, which, of course, is in Him. But, not just 'in Him,' but walking 'with Him,' Scripture is clear on this truth, too. So, Christ is dimensionally of us, three dimensionally.

What's the 3rd dimension, green?

'Of Him.' We are of Him, we are imputed the righteousness of Christ when we believe in Him, accept His way for our life, as the Spirit leads us to all truth.

Now, to say that the Holy Spirit is not who we are pointed too, is heresy, Jesus Himself tells us in Scripture that He is giving us a 'Helper,' (notice the capital 'H'), this can only mean ONE thing, the helper is Him, Jesus is giving us Himself but He Himself is sitting at the right hand of God. I knooooow. So hard to understand this all, you have to REALLY believe this truth of Him given; your spirit MUST believe . Now, I am noit sure you mean this, not judging you, for God NEVER condemns us, EVER. We condemn ourselves by NOT being rightly prepared for the wedding feast. He asks us politely, uses word 'friend,' even.
We have ALL three, as One, for us, God, Jesus, Holy Spirit, but we are to go through Jesus, who has given us His Holy Spirit

And, IF we then do not answer naturally, through, by grace, of Him, being saved through faith that is not of ourselves, that we KNOW is freely (faith) given from Him to us, and, not from anything we do by works, we CONDEMN ourselves, like that wedding guest did do God is good, I like a lot of points of your OP, but some things to bring to light too, the unseen hopefully now seen.

I do not need a link to understand that God "will have all men to be saved".

Now think about what you are saying here. God MADE mankind with the "free will" to reject His salvation, but God's "free will" to save all men is somehow dependant on what he gave men???

I ask you all. Is it lawful for a man to do with his own as he pleases?

Excellent, This was my 2nd heresy (again, we reason together, I do NOT judge no one of their faith, just pointing out His light, as the Lord leads, for if we do judge, Scripture is clear, WE CONDEMN OURSELF! ) of thought said, the ransom was for ALL men, who were ALL an 'enemy' of God until His Son was sent, shed blood for ALL our sins-past-present-future--COVERED, by the blood.

Again, the Scripture woneHis uses is good, there's just laced in some of the paragraphs that is unmistakeably not understanding the love of Christ for ALL of us, not understanding the way we worship in spirit and in truth, and, not understanding that Christ does NOT condemn us, ever. We are given FULL opportunity in life to choose Him, and, when that opportunity is DONE, and, that time of opportunity is between God and the INDIVIDUAL, then, God MUST do what He must do, and, will do for His will and good pleasure and sovereignty, and, He will shew mercy to whom He chooses all along the way. Think not you special, He is NO respecter of persons, He simply gives us a CHANCE , ALL, to enter the wedding feast , YOU must be PREPARED, like the virgins with the lamps.
HARSH, HARSH reality for NOT being prepared in that spoken-of truth by Jesus in Scripture too. They do NOT go to be with Him when the Rapture comes

Salvation is not at stake for the believer. It is the first inheritance of attending the Marriage Supper and to obtain that, you have to run the race by looking to the author and finisher of our faith for help to lay aside every weight and sin thus continuing in His words to be his disciples, and thus chosen to attend as in many are called, but few are chosen.


And yes.. God is free to do with what is His as He pleases and there will be vessels unto dishonour in His House that will be left behind, resurrected after the great tribulation to reign as kings and priests just like the prodigal son gave up his first inheritance for wild living but upon returning, he finds that he is still son, given a ring and robe and a celebration. The father tells the elder loyal son that all that he has was his, thus indicative that it was not the same for the prodigal son. But one thing is certain...there will be weeping & gnashing of teeth over the loss of that inheritance for which God will need to perform a miracle to get them past that loss by wiping the tears from their eyes, so it is not a small loss.


I was answering your seemingly strict use of the phrase "will of God" as meaning only one thing or only for one application. If that was not your intention, sorry.


I did go further by keeping it in context for which many universalists seemingly want to zero in out of context what and how we are to pray for all men to be saved as God did make a ransom to pay for all, but in line with rest of scripture: not everyone will believe to be saved.


Here's why.


John 3:18 He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God. 19 And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil. 20 For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved. 21 But he that doeth truth cometh to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are wrought in God.


That is why some people will not believe because they love their evil deeds rather come to the light to be reproved of them.


Beliving in Jesus Christ is the only way any sinner can be saved, and yes.. God offer that plan that can pay as a ransom for all, but not everyone will believe the gospel because they love evil more than Him.


Proverbs 8:36But he that sinneth against me wrongeth his own soul: all they that hate me love death.



Like it or not, evil people are going to the lake of fire.


Revelation 21:8 But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death.

 

[GreenNnice]

Right, God, offered the 'ransom' for all. This is truth,

But, like patientspiritone said, there is no way that ANYONE will not have an opportunity for knowledge of the truth (we are not talking about young folks killed or whatnot before 'age of accountability')

So.....
This is wrong. Can you see how this is worded wrong now, woneHis?

wone:But just because the ransom was made for all, not everyone will come to the knowledge of the truth to be saved, but we are still called to pray for all men.

We are pointed to the Holy Spirit too, He, through His Word, teaches us all truth, who is Jesus, the Helper that is Him, His Spirit, who is God, who is in us, all One, in us. Hard to believe, I know, huh. YOu said this well, about our having 'the mind of Christ,' I reference 1 Corinthians 2, too

Again my friend, I need no reference site to help understand the will of God.

You are still stating that man's will is stronger than God's will. How can God have any other desire except the salvation of all?

I am no universalist, but I keep it simple.

But I will say that you hold true to the same patterns. Vessels of dishonor are made to be destroyed. Does this mean that vessels of honor reside forever?

Isn't safe to say that we see that pattern today? All of the bad people (dishonor) dies, correct? But what happens to the vessels of honor. Don't they die as well?

This is because NEITHER servant (honorable nor dishonorable) abides in the house forever.

Those people listed in Revelation are US! Again NO FLESH AND BLOOD SHALL ENTER.

 

[Cobus]

Enow, I see a couple of things you missed. First of all, I cannoy read in one verse where the Holy Spirit POINTS to Jesus. I read that the Father PULLS, or DRAW... And theat the Spirit LEADS. On all these occations, it is the FATHER that DRAWS us to Jesus. I am so glad you started this thread, because this would help a LOT OF PEOPLE understand how salvation works.

First, God starts working on us by CALLING us. That is where EVERY child of God starts his path with God. The Holy Spirit is NOT IN YOU AT THIS STAGE! Not at all! He is not in you, but for the first time you will "HEAR" Him as he reproof you of three things... SIN, RIGHTEOUSNESS and JUDGMENT! John 16. Now the Spirit will start LEADING...Out of SIN, into RIGHTEOUSNESS, and to RIGHTEOUS JUDGMENT!

Jesus said we should pick up our crosses and follow HIM.... Crosses to die off sin (the old man)... Follow the LEAD of the Holy Spirit (Jesus) to GOD!.... Nobody comes to the Father except through Jesus, and nobody comes to Jesus if the Father does not DRAW him.
And that is how it starts.... but only the ones that endureth to the end shall be saved.... Follow the Holy Spriit untill HE FILLS YOU...

 

[Enow]

Right, God, offered the 'ransom' for all. This is truth,

But, like patientspiritone said, there is no way that ANYONE will not have an opportunity for knowledge of the truth ?

Since His word will not return void......

Isaiah 55:10 For as the rain cometh down, and the snow from heaven, and returneth not thither, but watereth the earth, and maketh it bring forth and bud, that it may give seed to the sower, and bread to the eater: 11 So shall my word be that goeth forth out of my mouth: it shall not return unto me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it. 12 For ye shall go out with joy, and be led forth with peace: the mountains and the hills shall break forth before you into singing, and all the trees of the field shall clap their hands.

This is a promise from God, and yet note this instructions by Jesus to His disciples.

Matthew 7:6 Give not that which is holy unto the dogs, neither cast ye your pearls before swine, lest they trample them under their feet, and turn again and rend you. 7 Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you: 8 For every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened.

Do we see that God will withhold teh gospel message from someone? Yes. Below.

Acts 16:6 Now when they had gone throughout Phrygia and the region of Galatia, and were forbidden of the Holy Ghost to preach the word in Asia, 7 After they were come to Mysia, they assayed to go into Bithynia: but the Spirit suffered them not. 8 And they passing by Mysia came down to Troas. 9 And a vision appeared to Paul in the night; There stood a man of Macedonia, and prayed him, saying, Come over into Macedonia, and help us. 10 And after he had seen the vision, immediately we endeavoured to go into Macedonia, assuredly gathering that the Lord had called us for to preach the gospel unto them.

Why is that? Because God knows who is seeking Him from those that are not. He knows why some sinners will not receive Him because they love their evil deeds rather than come to the light to be reproved of them.

John 3:18 He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God. 19 And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil. 20 For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved. 21 But he that doeth truth cometh to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are wrought in God.

We are pointed to the Holy Spirit too, He, through His Word, teaches us all truth, who is Jesus, the Helper that is Him, His Spirit, who is God, who is in us, all One, in us. Hard to believe, I know, huh. YOu said this well, about our having 'the mind of Christ,' I reference 1 Corinthians 2, too

Then you are skipping over this verse from that chapter of Whom the Holy Spirit would be pointing us to speak of and seeking the glory of since that is what the Spirit is sent to in leading us to do as He does.

1 Corinthains 2:2 For I determined not to know any thing among you, save Jesus Christ, and him crucified.

There are no invitations to be pointing to the Holy Spirit. There is no need to seek Him nor look for Him when He dwells within us.

That is why ALL invitations in relating to God the Father has always been through the Son, the Lord Jesus Christ, because there are false spirits in the world that would seek to come inbetween us and the Son with signs and lying wonders to lead saints astray to become an adulterous generation seeking after a sign which is why Jesus said to strive ye to enter through the straight gate as the Son is the door & the Bridegroom for Whom we are to be chaste in our reconciled relationship with God thru the Son, the Lord Jesus Christ.

If you are still reading this: go to Isaiah 5th chapter at the link below:
