Jesus, the Son of God! Of Who? Of God. Hmm. . . .

January 3, 2017

In the King James version of the Bible, the phrase Son of God appears 47 times (once in the book of Daniel). Never once in the New Testament is the Jesus referred to as the Son of the Holy Spirit, and yet Matthew 1:20, the Holy Spirit is clearly listed as the conceiver. It would have been just as easy for Matthew to say the LORD is the conceiver, but he did not.

He states eight times that Jesus is the Son of God, (G2316 theos), so the distinction can be

considered purposeful, John 14:26. This theos is the same that is used in Matthew 3:9.

The two statements cannot disagree, either God is the father of Jesus or He is not. Either the God is triune or He is not. If He is not, the Matthew 1:20 is misleading at best, and incorrect at worst, which scripture is not; Romans 3:4, Psalm 119:160, 2 Timothy 3:16-17, John 17:17 and 1 Thessalonians 2:13.
As a human, it is not in my ability to know the fullness of God. He will always have mystery about Him. (Job 11:7, Daniel 2:28a, Ephesians 3:4,9, Matthew 13:11, Romans 16:25, and so on.) If I live to be a thousand years, God would still be new to me. He is a good mystery.

Acts 5:3-4, 9 points to the Holy Spirit as God.

The Holy Spirit as God

December 31, 2016

Acts 5:3-4, 9 points to the Holy Spirit as God.
In verse 3, Peter confronts Ananias that Satan filled his heart to lie to the Holy Spirit. In verse 4, he passes the judgment Ananias lied to God. In verse 9, he reiterates that the Holy Spirit is the one who was the offended party.

There is a clear flow of HOLY SPIRIT (G40 hagios, G4151 pneuma) to GOD (G2316 theos) to HOLY SPIRIT without delineation of separateness e.g., and you lied to God as well.
