<p>Truth that exalts God as One is always truth! For God is one and there can be but one God.</p>
<p>Here in 2 Corinthians Jesus Christ is represented as "that Spirit."</p>
<p>Therefore Jesus could honestly say <strong>I </strong>will send the spirit to you and also say<strong> I</strong> will come to you and be in you (<strong><span style="color: #800000;">John 14:8</span></strong>) and of course "he" did, at Pentecost.<br /><br />The Holy Ghost is called, the Spirit of Jesus (<strong><span style="color: #800000;"> Ph 1:19</span></strong>) or the Spirit of Christ (<strong><span style="color: #800000;"> Romans 8:9</span></strong>) The Spirit of the Lord (<strong><span style="color: #800000;"> 2 Corinthians 3:17</span></strong>) and "His spirit" (<strong><span style="color: #800000;"> I John 3:13</span></strong>).</p>
<p>The Holy Ghost came upon the prophets, we read that the "spirit of the Lord" came on them. And we also know that the apostle Paul said that God revealed things to him by "HIS SPIRIT" (<strong><span style="color: #800000;"> I Corinthians 2:10</span></strong>) so the same spirit that came to the prophets and spoke to them was the same spirit that came to the apostles and enlightened them. The Same Spirit, the spirit of the Lord or the spirit of Jesus.<br /><br />Paul said if the same spirit that rose Christ from the dead dwell in you. Yes he had the same spirit as the prophets which came on them. The self same spirit.&nbsp; In 2 Corinthians 3:17 the Holy Ghost is called the Lord and Jesus as we well know is called Lord over 900 times in scripture. This shows that the Holy Ghost and Jesus are one<br /><br />The Lord is that Spirit!</p>
<p>There can only be one Spirit.<br /><br />Every man has a spirit. When Jesus breathed on the disciples it was a symbolic gesture of him coming to them and living in them "I" will come to you. At Pentecost this was fulfilled. He came to them and he comes to us. This clearly reveals That the Holy Ghost and God are not two separate spirits and neither does the Spirit of Jesus make it three. There is but one spirit who is "God" himself.</p>
<p>Spirit is not a person, a spirit lives in a person. The Holy Spirit is God. God (who is spirit) in Christ reconciling the world unto "himself." What Joy it is to know the one true God. One is substance, essence and nature, manifesting himself as Father and Son and Spirit. One person in three roles of office. What Joy it is to know him as the apostles and prophets did, One God and God as one.<br /><br />Is there a God beside "me" yes there is no God beside me: I know not of any (<strong><span style="color: #800000;">Isaiah 44:8</span></strong>) "I" (singular, one) am the first and "I" am the last and beside me there is no God&nbsp; (v6) I am the LORD and there is none beside me, there is no God beside me (<strong><span style="color: #800000;"> Isaiah 45:5</span></strong>).</p>
<p>No more idol worship. <br /><br />No more man made theories and mysteries. <br /><br />The Holy Ghost is God. Jesus is Emanuel <strong>God</strong> with us. <strong>The LORD is that Spirit</strong></p>
