Something I want to ask,
John 14 vs 6, Jesus says "I am the way, the truth and the life".
In vs 17 he says, "Even the Spirit of Truth, whom the world cannot receive".
If the Holy Spirit is the Spirit of Truth, and Jesus is also the truth, are there two truths or two Spirits of Truth?
In vs 17, he goes on to say, "you know him, for he dwelleth with you and shall be in you".
In vs 18, he says "I will not leave you comfortless, I will come to you".
In vs 19, he says "because I live, you live also" and in vs 20, he says "I am in the Father, and ye in me, and I in you".
What Spirit is in us, if Jesus Christ says that he is in us, and also promises the Holy Spirit will be in us? Are there two Spirits that are different to each other? Two Spirits in His Bride (Body)? Two heads?
If Jesus Christ is the life, as spoken in vs 6, and he says because he lives, we live also, how do we have eternal life without having His life in us, giving us eternal life? How can we be of the same Spirit, that will quicken our mortal bodies?

Yours is a good question and the answer reveals the attributes of Jesus.
We may say of a cake that it is: delicious, wholesome, healthy, rich, sustaining etc. but it is one cake not three (or five).
Neither should the many attributes of Almighty Omnipresent God cause us to divide him up into three parts. This grieves me and I often wonder if cutting God up into three pieces like a piece of cake isn’t heresy? Omnipresent God can and is; in heaven, on earth and in our hearts at one and the same time and is ONE.

Ps, what do you make of this scripture,
Genesis 3:22And the Lord God said, “The man has now become like one of us, knowing good and evil. He must not be allowed to reach out his hand and take also from the tree of life and eat, and live forever.”
God spoke in the plural,but I believe all three are one, just in differant froms each with a differant job, like an egg has three parts but it takes all three to be an egg.
Anyway Godspoke in the plural here after the fall

Yours is a nice idea homwardbound, I keep wanting to call you Brian for some reason? Anyway I have looked it up in several commentaries, because I don't know the answer myself and one commentator says it is a conversation between God and Satan who will naturally know good and evil and two other commentators say it is a conversation between God and the angels possibly cherubim. So I am sorry I cannot help any further except to say that I see God and the Spirit of God even earlier in the first two verses of the Bible:
Gen 1:1 In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth, and the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep and the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters.
May God bless.
