Each persons thought(s) no good thoughts or bad thoughts
Each persons perspective. I bet there might be learning learned from each persons perspective
No one right and no one wrong. Respect for each persons thought(s)
Calling it the mind of Christ, what is your thought, no right or wrong thoughts. So we each can learn from one another

I willl start
Christ had, has the mind of Father through out the ministry of Father's lead in the Holy Spirit for us all to believe, once risen

I consider the mind of Christ, as spoken of in the scriptures, to refer primarily to having the attitudes in Christ's mind, not the same factual content as Christ's mind. Ph'p 1:27; 2:2-3,5-7; 4:2 and 1 Cor. 1:10, 2:16 and Rom. 12:16; Col.3:12

Php 2:5 Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus:
Php 2:6 Who, being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God:
Php 2:7 But made himself of no reputation, and took upon him the form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men:

In context, the specific quality of mind seems to be humility.

I believe you are correct to equate the mind of Christ with the HS of God,
described as the fruit of the Spirit and summarized by divine love.

Thanks, Just learning seeing Christ did not think it robbery to be equal with Father. Not better or worse off, not trying to do it right. Humility
He listened to Father in Spirit and Truth, (Father the Holy Spirit) and obeyed, we each are to do the same on belief too.
I see when in the Garden of Gethsemane. The flesh he was in perplexed. Asked is there be any other way? Then said nevertheless not my will, your will Father be done. Today that is done John 19:30 for everyone, all at the cross reconciled 2 Cor 5:17-21 He left only one decision left after reconciled to all first, the message from the disciples. Ask, believe and receive. Making mistakes is what is left to learn from and see to agree the mistake was / is not good for your soul

I remember where I was, and where I am now, in humility to God in thanksgiving and praise to Father and Son for this done work to focus new in love and mercy to all too. No more time to worry over whether I sin again or not. Too busy rejoicing in the done work of Father and Son.

To believe the Father of Jesus (Now our Father, John 20) raised Jesus from the dead to be seen as risen through all Daddy's children in love and mercy to all too Col 2

Without the cross, reconciliation to all first, no one able to do law of love perfect. So, Son did it once for all to choose to believe God in this done work for them or not, Believe, receive and see new, at least begin to.
Believe, recieve and be new in Love and mercy of God through the done work of Son. No more worried over it, thankful to God Father who freely gives new life, to all that are sincere.. To grow new into maturity and not fight back either as Son did not fight back in the flesh and blood ever. That is love beyond measure and understanding to my first born person from man and woman. So, I asked in trust to God for the new born new person and it is given by God as in John 4:23-24

the mind of Christ, he did nothing or said nothing without Father's lead

Do you have any scriptures to support whether the mind of Christ is a part of the Holy spirit, or separate?

John 1:14-17, 4:23, 6:63, 14:26, 16:12-14, 1John 5:6, Heb. 10:15-16.

The HS = GW & JC are part of the Triunity, One Being manifested/experienced Three ways.

I'll look at those.

In your personal experience, does it seem like they are one in the same or different?

Maybe an example?

Not sure what "they" refer to, but the Father, Son and HS are One God/Being manifested or personally experienced in Three ways.

Agreed.
The Holy Spirit if you know where to look has evidence of what happens when it's put in a faither.
For instance, Pentecost, when the Holy spirit was put in those early called out ones, the result was they turned into givers. They gave everything they had, and the Greek is specific, it says they " begged with much begging that they could continue to participate in the giving." They gave everything and wanted to give more.⁸

We can find evidence of the Holy spirit like that woven throughout Gods word.

The mind of Christ has no evidence of what happens when it's put in a called out one. It's like the only way to know that is to actually have the mind of Christ being put in you.

The Holy spirit and the mind of Christ are the same as you said in the same respect as the trinity, they are separate but one at the same time. The deeper paradoxical truths of Gods word.

But wouldn't you agree that like the Holy spirit and giving, the mind of Christ would have it's own evidentiary accompaniments?

Glad we agree re the Triunity and manifestation of the HS via Truth = the mind of Christ.
Not sure I understand what you mean by "its own evidentiary accompaniments". Would Scripture/GW suffice?

What i meant to say was inevitable accompaniments. Things that go with the state of being. Inevitable accompaniments to having the Holy Spirt are "becoming an uncontrolled giver." If some one claims to have the Holy Spirit and doesn't possess this kind of giving exploding out of them, they don't have it, and need to check their faithing response.

Same with the mind of Christ, different inevitable accompaniments.

My question to you is, since i was happy to hear you say your a practicing Christian, can you give an insight to what the mind of Christ feels like, the predominant change it has on you, and what it's like to live with it everyday?

Since I understand the mind of Christ to be the HS and GW, its feeling and change are the same as having those--wonderful! :love:

Blessed by having loving Christian parents who modelled a happy marriage for 75 years.
Blessed by having a loving Christian soul-mate who decided to visit the BSU instead of Luther House about
two weeks after I prayed for God to send me such, and we are happy after 53 years
How many specifics do you want?
Would you like to take a turn?

This be what I am seeing in thanksgiving and praise, I see no other way but continued belief in what is done Col 1:21-23
The mystery of marriage, the two shall be One revealed through Paul to us all


Ephesians 5:31-3
Ephesians 5:22–33

Father and Son are Won One for us to be one with them as Won for us through the death, burial and especially the resurrection of Son

Yes, marriage is cited in Scripture as representing the believer’s relationship with God. The role of the husband is compared to the Father, the bride represents His children, and their mutual submission and sacrifice is the mind of Christ.
 
Rom 7:25 I thank God through Jesus Christ our Lord. So then with the mind I myself serve the law of God; but with the flesh the law of sin.

1Co 2:10 But God hath revealed them unto us by his Spirit: for the Spirit searcheth all things, yea, the deep things of God.
1Co 2:11 For what man knoweth the things of a man, save the spirit of man which is in him? even so the things of God knoweth no man, but the Spirit of God.
1Co 2:12 Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the spirit which is of God; that we might know the things that are freely given to us of God.
1Co 2:13 Which things also we speak, not in the words which man's wisdom teacheth, but which the Holy Ghost teacheth; comparing spiritual things with spiritual.
1Co 2:14 But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned.
1Co 2:15 But he that is spiritual judgeth all things, yet he himself is judged of no man.

1Co 2:16 For who hath known the mind of the Lord, that he may instruct him? But we have the mind of Christ.

Having the mind of Christ means thinking like Him having the knowledge of the truth that pertains to God by the Spirit.
