Jesus IS the Holy Spirit?

<< < (2/2)

octoberose:
So, we are saying that Christ IS the Spirit? Or did the Father give his Son His Spirit, and His Spirit is the Holy Spirit that indwells His people?
 After all,  Mary became pregnant by the Holy Spirit, and Jesus is not his own father.
 I don't mean to be obtuse, but realized I am not have the same understanding.

Kat:

Hi Octobberose,

Rom 8:9  But you are not in the flesh but in the Spirit, if indeed the Spirit of God dwells in you. Now if anyone does not have the Spirit of Christ, he is not His.

Phl 1:19  For I know that this will turn out for my deliverance through your prayer and the supply of the Spirit of Jesus Christ,

Well it is true that all things go back to and come from the Father... I consider Christ as an actually extension of the Father, that's how He could say “He who has seen Me has seen the Father; so how can you say, ‘Show us the Father'? (John 14:9). Now when Jesus lived on earth and died and was raised up, I think He established Himself as a personality that we can know. So now what we receive is the Holy Spirit of God the Father that must come to us through the person of Christ.

Col 1:20  and through Him (christ) to reconcile the all things to Himself (the Father) -- having made peace through the blood of His (Jesus') cross -- through Him (Christ Jesus), whether the things upon the earth, whether the things in the heavens. (YLT)

It's by the Son - Christ Jesus that everything in this creation is accomplished, from start to finish and that is the Spirit that we receive indwelling.

mercy, peace and love

Right on Kat.  I especially am in agreement with your statement that I highlighted above.
