jER:
Thanks…Kat, for this link…

When comparing/contrasting the human life with that of the life of Christ, we gain a greater understanding of who [we] are in Him.
I will enjoy reading this - in its entirety.
Praying you (all) - have a blessed day.

Thank you all. It was the 'Exposing those who contradict' portion that I remembered reading, but didn't know where it was.
Romans 8
9You, however, are controlled not by the sinful nature but by the Spirit, if the Spirit of God lives in you. And if anyone does not have the Spirit of Christ, he does not belong to Christ. 10But if Christ is in you, your body is dead because of sin, yet your spirit is alive because of righteousness. 11And if the Spirit of him who raised Jesus from the dead is living in you, he who raised Christ from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies through his Spirit, who lives in you.
I am very confused about the Spirits.
From what I've gathered Christ and the Father share the same Holy Spirit. They are two different beings, but one because they share the same Holy Spirit.
So that would make each of them a Spiritual being who both also share the Holy Spirit, which is the Father's spirit? Would the comforter be the Spirit of Christ? So both the Spirit of Christ and the Holy Spirit would live in us if we are chosen now? You can't separate the Spirit of Christ from the Holy Spirit because they are one and also one with the Father because they share the Holy Spirit. How can we know that we have the Spirit of Christ and the Spirit of God living in us?
I am sorry I am bad with words. I can't seem to get my confused thoughts written out right.

1Co 8:6 yet for us there is one God, the Father, from whom are all things and for whom we exist, and one Lord, Jesus Christ, through whom are all things and through whom we exist.
Mat 11:27 "All things are delivered to Me by My Father..."
Christ and the Father are One, it is by the power of the Father all things are done, this power is His spirit. So whatever Christ does He does by the power/spirit of the Father.
Joh 17:20 And I do not pray for these alone, but for those also who shall believe on Me through their word,
v.21 that they all may be one, as You, Father, are in Me, and I in You, that they also may be one in Us, so that the world may believe that You have sent Me.
v. 22 And I have given them the glory which You have given Me, that they may be one, even as We are one,
v. 23 I in them, and You in Me, that they may be made perfect in one; and that the world may know that You have sent Me and have loved them as You have loved Me.
When God gives His Holy Spirit to someone, it is Christ and the Father, you can not separate the spirit from Them, it is all God.
John 14:26 But the Comforter, the Holy Spirit whom the Father will send in My name, He shall teach you all things and bring all things to your remembrance, whatever I have said to you.
This is when your eyes opened, Christ is in you and He is teaching you to discern the truth. You should be able to tell if you are seeing things new and different from before. When yours eyes are opened, then you understand the truth, you can relate to those who speak this truth. Then we are of like mind, when you believe the same truths that Christ is showing us.
1Co 2:10 But God has revealed them to us by His Spirit; for the Spirit searches all things, yea, the deep things of God.
v. 11 For who among men knows the things of a man except the spirit of man within him? So also no one knows the things of God except the Spirit of God.
v. 12 But we have not received the spirit of the world, but the Spirit from God, so that we might know the things that are freely given to us by God.
v. 13 These things we also speak, not in words which man's wisdom teaches, but which the Holy Spirit teaches, comparing spiritual things with spiritual.
v. 14 But the natural man does not receive the things of the Spirit of God, for they are foolishness to him; neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned.
v. 15 But he who is spiritual judges all things, yet he himself is judged by no one.
v. 16 For who has known the mind of the Lord, that he may instruct Him? But we have the mind of Christ.
mercy, peace, and love
