Download or read book The Other Hand of God written by Kilian McDonnell and published by Liturgical Press. This book was released on 2017-02-28 with total page 292 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: If the Spirit is not equal to the Father and the Son, can the Trinity survive? Is the role of the Spirit in salvation as important as that of the Son? Why was the divinity of the Spirit problematic in the early Church? If the Son, Jesus Christ, is "the way the truth and the life," what role does the Spirit have in God's reaching out to touch the Church and the world? Is there any contact with, any experience of God, apart from the Spirit? In what sense is the Spirit the goal of the Christian life? The Other Hand of God addresses these theological queries.

Download or read book Knowing the Holy Spirit Through the Old Testament written by Christopher J. H. Wright and published by InterVarsity Press. This book was released on 2015-10-25 with total page 161 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We tend to think of the Holy Spirit as the straggler of the Trinity, a latecomer in God's interaction with the world. But our first introduction to the Holy Spirit is not the drama of Pentecost in the second chapter of Acts. We first meet the Holy Spirit in the second verse of the Bible, hovering there, speaking the world into existence. Christopher Wright begins here and traces the Holy Spirit through the pages of the Old Testament. We see the Third Person of the Trinity in the decrees of prophets and psalmists, in the actions of judges and craftspeople, in the anointing of kings and the promise of a new creation. Knowable and discernable in the Old Testament, the Holy Spirit is thus eminently knowable to us. The witness of the whole of Scripture, from its first pages to its last, directs us to a Holy Spirit empowering the people of God, and sustaining and renewing the face of the earth.

In addition to Torrey's teaching on the person of the Holy Spirit, this book presents seven of his shorter teachings, which he shared at Moody Bible Institute, in the churches he pastored, and in various places around the world.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: You might be surprised to find that God is not a trinity. The Trinity is one of mainstream Christianity’s most widely accepted and revered doctrines held by millions of Catholics, Protestants and Orthodox believers. The belief that God is three persons—the Father, Son and Holy Spirit—coexisting in one being is how the trinity doctrine is often defined.

Your beliefs must rest solidly on the teachings of the Holy Bible.

But this is definitely not the case." "Many historians and religious scholars, some quoted in this publication, attest to the influence of Greek or Platonic philosophy in the development and acceptance of the Trinity doctrine in the fourth century." God the Father is the One who calls us to baptism and a new way of life (John 6:44, 65), and it is His goodness that leads us to repentance and baptism (Romans 2:4). "As even the New Catholic Encyclopedia, quoted from earlier, acknowledges: “The majority of New Testament texts reveal God’s spirit as something, not someone; this is especially seen in the parallelism between the spirit and the power of God..."

Download or read book Understanding God the Holy Spirit written by Billy Shurling and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2012-06-13 with total page 156 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: CHRISTIANS MUST KNOW and communicate with the Holy Spirit to fully understand the Christian experience. God gave Christians his Spirit to give them the power and teach them the wisdom and understanding so they can fully understand what God wants them to know. God has already given everyone the gifts for an abundant life for this journey on earth and eternity. In order for you to receive these gifts, you must have communication with the Holy Spirit. God declared three thousand years ago that everyone in this age could receive his Spirit. The Holy Spirit is received by first accepting Jesus as your Savior. He then asks the Father to send the Holy Spirit to you for your personal counselor for spiritual and personal growth. Jesus describes the Holy Spirit as your teacher, counselor, adviser, advocate, the living water, and many other things. He will live in you 24-7 to help you. He has a schedule for your life. This means when it is time for you to receive the gifts God has planned he will prepare you to receive them. You probably do not know that he has gifts like education and careers. God has a career for you already planned, but you must follow the plan. Do not say I know all this. That is a sure prescription for failure. You will never know it all. You will learn many things from this book. The Holy Spirit asked me to write this book to tell you what he wants you to know. He wants you to study your Bible with the Holy Spirit giving you understanding of all things.

Download or read book The Holy Spirit written by Ivan M. Satyavrata and published by Langham Global Library. This book was released on 2012-02-14 with total page 147 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It is impossible to love God and at the same time be dispassionate about the study of God. Deep devotion to Jesus and an all-consuming desire to see his glory fill the earth should fuel the passion of anyone who ventures to write about God and help illuminate other people’s understanding of God and his ways. Few themes call for as much of a blending of mind and heart as that of the Holy Spirit. The global spread of Pentecostal Christianity, often in context of urban poverty, has attracted much attention. The movement highlights a hunger for the experience of God in our world and provides millions of poor believers with hope for social transformation. Yet spiritual experience needs a fully biblical understanding of the Holy Spirit with which its claims can be properly assessed. Ivan Satyavrata provides an introduction to the Bible’s teaching on vital issues and questions, many of which have been, and continue to be, a source of confusion and controversy amongst Christians. Combining scholarly enquiry with accessibility, his deep theological reflections and passion for unity will contribute to constructive dialogue and appeal to a wide readership.
