“ That God was not always the Father, but that there was
a period when he was not the Father; that the Word of
God was not from eternity, but was made out of
nothing; for that the ever-existing God (‘the I AM’—the
eternal One) made him who did not previously exist, out
of nothing; wherefore there was a time when he did not
exist, inasmuch as the Son is a creatureand a work. ”

“ That he is neither like the Father as it regards his essence, nor is
by nature either the Father’s true Word, or true Wisdom, but
indeed one of his works and creatures, being erroneously called
Word and Wisdom, since he was himself made of God’s own Word
and the Wisdom which is in God, whereby God both made all things
and him also.
-Socrates. "Division begins in the Church from this Controversy;
and Alexander Bishop of Alexandria excommunicates Arius and
his Adherents.” "
Arius and His Theology

“God was not always a Father, for
and not yet a Father, but afterwards He became a Father.
; for whereas all things were made out of nothing, and all existing
creatures and works were made, so the Word of God Himself was made
out of nothing and
.” -From Arius’ Thalia, quoted in Athanasius, Oratio
contra Arianos I 5, in J. P. Migne, Patrologiae Cursus Completus, Series Graeca, 26.21.
“The Word is not true God. Though He is called God, yet He is not truly God but
by participation of grace, He, as all the others, is called God only in name.”
-Athanasius, Oratio contra Arianos I 6, in J. P. Migne, Patrologiae Cursus Completus, Series Graeca, 26.21-2.
Arius (in his Thalia) as cited by Athanasius:

(i) .
, and was not yet a
father; only later did he become a father.
(ii) . Everything created is
out of nothing {ex ouk onton) all existing creatures,
all things that are made;
. There was (a time]
when he did not exist {en pote hote ouk en);
. He
too had a beginning to his created existence.

(iii) For - so he says - God used to be on his own
{monos),
. But then God wanted to make us; and only
then did he make some kind of being [henatina)
that he dubbed Word, Wisdom and Son, so that
through him he might make us.

(iv) So: there are two 'Wisdoms', he says, one that is
proper to God and exists together with him (idtan km
sunuparchousan) and [the other]
; only by participating
in this Wisdom is the Son called Wisdom and Word.
', Likewise he says that
there is another Word in God besides the Son, and the
Son, participating in this Word is, once again, called
Word and Son by grace-and-favour. . .

Rome claims to be anti-arian and has said to have fought
wars against the arians . There is no evidence that the
nations that were destroyed because they were arians were
actually arian because we have none of their writings. Only
Roman Catholicism claims that they were arian. The gospel
to the gouyim (Catholicism) is not arian but the insider
esoteric gospel is arian. We know this because the Pope has
declared the Latin Vulgate an infallable bible but this version
is arian - it removes the deity of Jesus Christ.

In 1481 AD the Vatican manuscript was discovered in the Vatican
library. This manuscript repeatedly casts aside the deity of Christ. It
reflects the Arianism of Origen and is thought by some to be one of
the surviving manuscripts done by Eusebius at the command of
Constantine. The date of its writing coincides with the 'ecumenical
Bible' of Constantine. Interesting, it was found just in time to counter
the reformation. The reformation was using the Received Text which
they said was not of God. If this is true, then the truth had been kept
from virtually all generations since Christ up until 1481.

In 1844 AD The Sinaitic manuscript was discovered at Mt. Sinai
in the monastery of Saint Catherine. It agrees closely with the
Vatican manuscript and minimizes the deity of Christ and is
Arian in nature. These two manuscripts were probably two of
the fifty that were written for Constantine.

In 1881 AD The Westcott and Hort Greek Text was introduced.
This text departed from the Textus Receptus and follows the
Vatican and even more than the Sinaitic corruptions. The
Jehovah's Witness Bible entitled the "New World Translation of
the Holy Scriptures' was translated from the text of Westcott
and Hort. The Jehovahs Witness's had the KJV and modified it.
Which is why the Jehovahs Witness are also arians in their
belief system as well.

- Albert Pike, Morals and Dogma, p.817.
"The Templars, like all other
Secret Orders and Associations,
had two doctrines, one
concealed and reserved for
the Masters, which was
Johannism; the other public,
which was the Roman Catholic.”

Charles G. Berger, Our Phallic Heritage, 1966, p.48.
“ Thus, SYMBOLS CAME TO HAVE
TWO MEANINGS, the esoteric and the
exoteric The ESOTERIC meaning was
the true or original meaning,
UNDERSTOOD BY ONLY A FEW and
closely guarded by them. The exoteric
meaning was the invented, or modified,
explanation intended for the many. ”

Have you ever wondered how the Roman Catholic Church can justify beliefs and
practices which do not have even one iota of support in the written scriptures?
Where, for example, is the written biblical evidence for infant baptism, baptism by
sprinkling, prayers for the dead and to the dead, the canonization of saints, purgatory,
limbo , the celibacy off the priesthood, the sale of indulgences, the worship of images,
the rosary , the immaculate conception, Mary as meadiatrix, Mary as the Mother of
God, the assumption of Mary, the perpetual virginity of Mary , The observance of
Sunday, Lent , auricular confession, among other things ? , The answer is found in the
Roman Catholic view of tradition.

“ No, the Father is not the Son; neither is the Father

among themselves, by a distinction as deep as their
infinite nature. For all that, the Three subsist in one,
numerically one, divine nature and Godhead,
for there is only one God. ”

“There is but one, single, undivided God, and

“…although these Three are utterly equal to one another with an equality
that is absolute ,since each of them is the same god, yet they are so far
from being identical with one another that they are related to one another as
relative terms in direct opposition and their opposition lies in their relation of
origin, the one to the other.
The Father is distinct from the son, because He eternally begets Him.
The Son is distinct from the Father because He is eternally being begotten by
Him. The Holy Spirit is distinct from booth Father and Son, because He is
breathedfrom both and proceeds from them as from one principleof origin. ”

“God the Father eternally knows Himself, and continues
to know Himself
and continues
to know Himself, and thus continues to bring forth
the Son in a continual birth. God the Father and
God the Son continue to love each other, and their
delight in each other continues to bring forth the
Spirit of Love, God the Holy Ghost. In a similar
way, fire has light and color. As long as there is fire, it
continues to produce light. As long as there is fire with
light, there is produced color.”

"The Father may be said in some
manner to be greater than the Son, if
we consider the order of the divine
processions, that is, that the
, and
proceeds from no other; whereas the
Son proceeds from the Father."
(Haydock's Catholic Bible Commentary, 1859)
If you accept the teaching that some time in eternity Christ was brought forth by the Father,
you are a good Catholic. Beware of the errors you accept from teachers in our ranks.
This true God has designed to use to give me some conception
of the birthof his only son.
He said to us, “My son is my word. In stark reality he is other
than I, for I am the Father and he is my son. He is my Son,
because I think him. I beget him by my act of infinite self-
knowledge; as the infinite object of my
thought. I am a living God, and my life is thought. Being God, I
know my Godhead, and what I know is my son. I am the
source of the Godhead, and He is the Godhead as uttered
by Infinite Intelligence. He is not I, although He and I are the
same one God.”

“The Son proceeds from the
Father; the Holy Ghost
proceeds from the Father and
the Son.”
—The Catholic Encyclopedia, 1914
Edition, art. “Holy Ghost.”
“He [the Holy Spirit] proceeds, not
by way of generation, but by way of
spiration, from the Father and the
Son together, as from a single
principle. Such is the belief the
Catholic faith demands.”
—The Catholic Encyclopedia, 1914
Edition, art. “Holy Ghost.”
If you accept the teaching that the Holy Spirit is not the separate person, The Third Person of the
Godhead, you are a good Catholic. Beware of the errors you accept from teachers in our ranks.

“ The mystery of the Trinity is the central doctrine of Catholic faith. Upon it
are based all the other teachings of the Church. In the New Testament there is
frequent mention of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. A careful reading
of these scriptural passages leads to one unmistakable conclusion: each of
these Persons is presented as having qualities that can belong only to God.
But if there is only one God, how can this be ?.”
Handbook for Today’s Catholic, p. 16 (1994)

“ The Church studied this mystery with great care and, after four centuries of
clarification, decided to state the doctrine in this way: in the unity of the
Godhead there are three Persons—the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit—
truly distinct one from another. Thus, in the words of the Athanasian Creed:
“The Father is God, the Son is God, and the Holy Spirit is God, and yet there
are not three gods but one God.”

(1). A Father who first existed then gave birth to a son
(2). Son who is always partly there and always partly
emerging out (“continuous generation”) from the Father.
(3). A Holy Spirit, which has no separate existence, but is
continually exhaled (“continuous spiration”) from both
the Father and the Son.
(4). A Father who has less existence than His nature and is
only part of a mixed-up “one essence.”
(5). All three share the same body.

"From eternity there was a complete unity between
the Father and the Son. They were two, yet little
short of being identical; two in individuality, yet
one in spirit, and heart, and character."
E.G. White, The Youth's Instructor, December 16, 1897
“The unity that exists between Christ and His
disciples does not destroy the personality of
either. They are one in purpose, in mind, in
character, but not in person. It is thus that God
and Christ are one.”
— Ministry of Healing, 422.

Review and Herald, Vol. 9, No. 19, pg. 146
“ If it be said that the spirit of the Father, and the Son, and
the Holy Ghost is one spirit [that is, similar substance, mind,
and character], with this we [Adventists] all agree. But if it
be said that the Father, and the Son, and the Holy Ghost are
three persons in one person, making in all one God without
body or parts , with an idea so inconsistent we cannot agree.
The oneness of Christ with the Father may be plainly seen
by any who will refer to John 17:22. ‘That they may be one,
even as we are one’. Who could believe that Christ prayed
that His disciples should be one disciple? Yet this would be
no more inconsistent than the idea of some that Christ and
His Father are one Person.”

“When the law was spoken, the Lord, the Creator
of heaven and earth, stood by the side of His
Son, enshrouded in the fire and the smoke on the
mount.”—1 Bible Commentary, 1103.

The work of salvation is not a small matter, but so
vast that the highest authorities are taken hold of
by the expressed faith of the human agency. The
Father, the Son, and the Holy Ghost, the eternal
Godhead is involved in the action required to
make assurance to the human agent to unite all
heaven to contribute to the exercise of human
faculties to reach and embrace the fulness of the
threefold powers to unite in the great work
appointed, confederating the heavenly powers
with the human, that men may become, through
heavenly efficiency, partakers of the divine nature
and workers together with Christ. Ms45-1904.16

Was Jesus from the Father ?
“De-rive (de-riv’) 1. to get or
obtain, as from a source or
origin . . 2. obtain from some
process of reasoning 3. to
trace the origin of something
from or to its source.
4. to proceed from a source.”
—Mac- Millan Dictionary.
“Jesus declared, ‘I am the
resurrection and the life.’
‘He that
hath the Son hath life.’ 1 John
5:12. The divinity of Christ is the
believer’s assurance of eternal
life.”

“Christ was God essentially, and in the highest
sense. He was with God from all eternity, God over
all, blessed forevermore. The Lord Jesus Christ, the
divine Son of God, existed from eternity, a distinct
person, yet one with the Father”
-The Faith I Live By, p. 46.
“Christ was the Son of God. He had been one
with Him before the angels were called into
existence. He had ever stood at the right
hand of the Father."
-Patriarchs and Prophets, p. 38.

"Christ is the pre-existent, self-existent Son of God . .
In speaking of His pre-existence, Christ carries the
mind back through dateless ages. He assures us
that there never was a time when He was not in
close fellowship with the eternal God. He to whose
voice the Jews were then listening had been with God
as one broughtup with Him.”

. God wanted Adam to experience what
it was like to be incomplete. And as God had named all things in
heaven (Isa 40:26), he appointed Adam the task of naming
everything on earth. At the end of each day of creation, God said,
“It is good.” But then He made Adam in His own image and God
said, “It is not good—that man should be alone” Gen 2:18.
Adam was alone. And it was not good.
”

1Cor 11:12 the woman is made from the man (margin).
Gen 2:21,22 And the LORD God took one of Adam’s ribs and
closed up the flesh...and made (Hebrew: builded) a woman
and brought her unto the man.
Gen 2:23,24 Adam said, This is now bone of my bone and flesh
of my flesh...She shall be called woman because she was
taken out of man... and they shall be one flesh..”

.
Adam: the only human not begotten. Eve: the only human begotten
from another human’s side. She was not created from nothing but was
taken out of Adam’s side. She existed in Adam, a part of him, before
she was taken out. She was the express image of Adam—his second
self—but not exactly identical.

So also the Word is the unique Son of God begotten of the Father,
taken from His bosom, His side, to be the Father’s Second Self, yet
distinctly his own personality.
Adam’s side was opened and Eve came out from him.
Jesus was pierced in His side on the cross “and forthwith came there
out blood and water” John 19:34.
Jesus “came forth from the Father” John 16:28. “They have known
surely that I came out from Thee” John 17:8.

Jesus is both human (life blood) and spirit (cleansing water).
Zech 13:1 In that day there shall be a fountain opened to the house of
David and to the inhabitants of Jerusalem for sin (his blood, his sinless
life covers our sins 1John 1:7) and for uncleanness (his Spirit washes
us Isaiah 4:4; 1Cor 6:11).
Eve was the same substance as Adam. They were both equal in nature.
She was just as human as he was. But Eve was begotten in a different
manner than all other human births

As Adam begat Eve, the Father begat Christ, and Christ begets us,
giving us His spirit, as Adam gave his rib. We are part of Christ, we
“par- take” of his divine nature. We are born again; Christ is in us; we
have his character.
As Adam and Eve were one flesh, so also the Father and Son are one
spirit. Modern apologists dismiss the language of Father-Son as
merely human attempts to express the close relationship experienced
by the Godhead. But we must remember that it was God Himself who
employed these terms. Matt 3:17; 17:5; Heb 1:6. ”

So, too, the Son of God was begotten of his Father. They both have
the same divine substance, both equal in nature. Christ is just as
divine as his Father.
But the Son was begotten in a different manner in eternity than he
was later born of Mary in time. Adam and Eve were essentially the
same age; both appeared on day six. Father and Son are essentially of
the same age; both are from eternity. We can understand something
of the relationship between the Father and the Son by studying the
creation of Adam and Eve.

THESOS MAGAZINE ,volume 8, page 10-11
his Father’s Spirit, as he did “all things,” by
as the divine Son of God from eternity. He retained his
Father’s Spirit when he came into the world to be “manifest in the
flesh.”
His Spirit is Himself, the same person, the same identity, but
divested of his humanity—as he was before he became flesh.
But not only does the Father send the Spirit of His Son, but the Son
sends his own Spirit from the Father! Jesus says that he will send
the Spirit of truth which proceeds from the Father, because
Jesus proceeded from the Father. ”

The Father is the great Source of all things. He gave
His only begotten Son.
(Luke 11:13).
(2Cor 3:17). And because Jesus is God’s Son, his Spirit
is God’s Spirit. This is how both dwell in us. Both Christ
and his Spirit make intercession for us because
. Both Christ
and his Spirit make intercession for us because Christ
and his Spirit are the same person. ”

But the location of intercession is in different places: in
heaven and on earth. In heaven, he ministers the
benefits of his innocent, voluntary sacrifice: forgiveness
for sin, justification, in his humanity as our High
Priest mediator, the man Jesus Christ.
On earth, he ministers the benefits of his perfect,
victorious life: grace, the divine power to overcome sin,
sanctification, in his divinity as our Comforter and
intercessor, as the Spirit of Christ.”

It was “expedient” for Christ to leave this earth and
return to his Father that he might dispense his
omnipresent Spirit to all his children. And his Spirit is a
real person, the personality of Jesus Christ
himself. It is
.
Since the Spirit of God is the presence of God (Ps 139:6),
the mind of God (Isa 40:13; Rom 11:34), the mind of
Christ (1Cor 2:16; Phil 2:5), it is what allows the Father
and Son to “be in” each other (John 14:10; John 17:21) ”

“ Jesus said here to His disciples, it is evident that when
the Comforter came it would be both God the Father
and (“we will come unto him”) yet not
bodily. , both God the Father and
Christ would still be in heaven.
This is one of the reasons why the early Seventh-day
Adventists believed that the
In other words, the Holy Spirit was said to be the Spirit
of both God and Christ. ”

Adventism by Terry Hill, Chapter twenty , The Holy Spirit

Because Jesus is
the Son of God –Mark 13:33
the Word of God-2Peter 3:5
the Lamb of God- John 1:29
the image of God – Col 1:15
it should be no surprise that he is also Rom 8:9 the Spirit of God.
He belongs to God his Father Who is one with the Spirit of Christ.

It was “expedient” for Christ to leave this earth and
return to his Father that he might dispense his
omnipresent Spirit to all his children. And his Spirit is a
real person, the personality of Jesus Christ
himself. It is his mind, his “conscious presence.”
Not that of a separate person.
Since the Spirit of God is the presence of God (Ps 139:6),
the mind of God (Isa 40:13; Rom 11:34), the mind of
Christ (1Cor 2:16; Phil 2:5), it is what allows the Father
and Son to “be in” each other (John 14:10; John 17:21) ”

But how do men fall into such error? By
starting with false premises, and then
bringing everything to bear to prove the
error true. In some cases the first principles
have a measure of truth interwoven with the
error, but it does not lead to any just action,
and this is why men are misled.

Men who want to present something original will conjure up things new
and strange, and without consideration will step forward on these
unstable theories, that have been woven together as a precious theory,
and present it as a life and death question. —Letter 136a, 1898. 2SM 15.2

The Review and Herald, February 5, 1901.
In the days of the apostles the most foolish
heresies were presented as truth. History has been
and will be repeated. There will always be those
who, though apparently conscientious, will grasp
at the shadow, preferring it to the substance. They
take error in the place of truth, because error is
clothed with a new garment, which they think
covers something wonderful. But let the covering
be removed, and nothingness appears.

“Never, never was there a time when the truth suffered
more from being misrepresented, belittled, demerited
through the perverse disputings of men than in these
last days. Men have brought themselves in with their
heterogeneous mass of heresies which they represent
as oracles for the people.
The people are charmed with some strange new thing,
and are not wise in experience to discern the character
of ideas that men may frame up as something. But to
call it something of great consequence and tie it to the
oracles of God, does not make it truth. Oh, how this
rebukes the low standard of piety in the churches. ”

-The Review and Herald ,
February 5, 1901,par.3

“From the light given me of the Lord, men will arise
speaking perverse things. Yea, already they have been
working and speaking things which God has never
revealed, bringing sacred truth upon a level with
common things. Issues have been and will continue to
be made of men's conceited fallacies, not of truth.
The devisings of men's minds will invent tests that are
no tests at all, that when the true test shall be made
prominent, it shall be considered on a par with the
man-made tests that have been of no value. ”

“ We may expect that everything will be brought in and
mingled with sound doctrine, but by clear, spiritual
discernment, by the heavenly anointing, we must
distinguish the sacred from the common which is being
brought in to confuse faith and sound judgment, and
demerit the great, grand, testing truth for this time... ”

Is the Holy Spirit Christ Himself ?

Christ, our Mediator, and the Holy Spirit are
constantly interceding in man’s behalf, but the
Spirit pleads not for us as does Christ, who
presents His blood, shed from the foundation
of the world; the Spirit works upon our hearts,
drawing out prayers and penitence, praise and
thanksgiving. The gratitude which flows from
our lips is the result of the Spirit striking the
cords of the soul in holy memories, awakening
the music of the heart.
Ms50-1900.16

Since the intercession of Christ and the intercession of the
Holy Spirit are different, their persons must also be
different. The Holy Spirit is indeed a third Person, other
than the Father and the Son.

“But when the Comforter is come, whom I will send unto you from the
Father, even the Spirit of truth, which proceedeth from the Father, he
shall testify of me” John 15:26
“If I bear witness of myself, my witness is not true. There is another that
beareth witness of me; and I know that the witness which he witnesseth
of me is true.” John 5:31-32

The Holy Spirit exalts and glorifies the
Saviour. It is his office to present Christ,
the purity of his righteousness, and the great
salvation that we have through him. Jesus
says, “He shall receive of mine, and shall
show it unto you.” The spirit of truth is the
only effectual teacher of divine truth.
-AUGleaner June 9, 1909, par. 9

“The Holy Spirit is the Comforter, in Christ's
name. He personifies Christ, yet is a distinct
personality. We may have the Holy Spirit if
we ask for it and make it [a] habit to turn to
and trust in God rather than in any finite
human agent who may make mistakes.”

The Spirit of Prophecy comments on the Holy Spirit

“When we have accepted Christ, and in the
name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the
Holy Spirit have pledged ourselves to serve
God, the Father, Christ, AND the Holy Spirit --
the three dignitaries and powers of heaven--
pledge themselves that every facility shall be
given to us if we carry out our baptismal vows
to "come out from among them, and be . . .
separate, . . . and touch not the unclean thing.”
----E.G. White, Manuscript 85, 1901

“ God says, "Come out from among them, and be ye
separate, . . . and touch not the unclean thing; and I
will receive you, and will be a Father unto you, and ye
shall be my sons and daughters, saith the Lord
Almighty." This is the pledge of the Father, the Son,
and the Holy Spirit; made to you if you will keep your
baptismal vow, and touch not the unclean thing... ”
-E.G. White, Signs of the Times, June 19, 1901

“ ... In order to deal righteously with the world, as
members of the royal family, children of the heavenly
King, Christians must feel their need of a power,
which comes only from the heavenly agencies that
have pledged themselves to work in man's behalf. After
we have formed a union with the great THREEFOLD
POWER , we shall regard our duty toward the
members of God's family with a sacred awe.”
-E.G. White, Signs of the Times, June 19, 1901

“ You are baptized in the name of the Father, of the
Son, and of the Holy Ghost. You are raised up out of
the water to live henceforth in newness of life--to
live a new life. You are born unto God, and you
stand under the sanction and the power of
THE THREE HOLIEST BEINGS IN HEAVEN,
who are able to keep you from falling... ”
-E.G. White, 1906, Manuscript Release, Vol.7, pgs. 267, 268

“ As the saints in the kingdom of God are
accepted in the beloved , they hear: “Come, ye
blessed of My Father, inherit the kingdom
prepared for you from the foundation of the
world.” And then the golden harps are
touched, and the music flows all through the
heavenly host, and they fall down and worship
the Father and the Son AND the Holy Spirit. ”
---E.G. White, Manuscript 139, 1906.

Anti-Trinitariansin Adventism employ Jesuit Rhetoric:
What may appear to be in anti-Trinitarian expressions as an opposition towards the
Roman Catholic version of the trinity in terminology is not an opposition at all but
rather the very acceptanceof it in an modified form.

They will take ideas from the Roman Catholic trinity , then shuffle, turn ,twist, add, subtract,
multiply and divided these ideas then present them as something new and original. When its only
a modified version of Catholism they are teaching and promoting. Below is example of this:
HOW ANTI-TRINITARIAN IN ADVENTISM REASON :
Original Statement Anna ate bread at John’s house yesterday.
1. Revised Statement Twenty-four hours ago Anna Ate bread at John’s house.
2. Revising the
revised Statement
Bread was consumed by Anna at John’s house one day ago.
3. Revising the revision
of the revised Statement
Anna loves to devour bread and John entertained
her at his home one day ago from.
4. Revising for the
last time
Yesterday John accommodated Anna at his house
and O How she relished the taste of the bread.

Understanding the Trinity
This true God has designed to use to give
me some conception of the birthof
his only son. He said to us, “My son is my
word. in stark reality he is other than I, for
I am the Father and he is my son. He is my
Son, because I think him. I beget him by
my act of infinite self-knowledge; I utter
Him as the infinite object of my thought. I
am a living God, and my life is thought.
Being God, I know my Godhead, and what
I know is my son. I am the sourceof
the Godhead, and He is the Godhead as
uttered by Infinite Intelligence. He is not I,
although He and I are the same one God.”

Begotten or Created?
Posted Feb 26, 2011 by Dejan Andov in The Son of God
“The Bible clearly teaches that Jesus is not created but
begotten of God (John 1: 14; 3: 16, etc.).... "begotten" means
the opposite of created. It is to give existence to a being from
the being of the one who beget, a being who by birth
inherits the nature and all attributes of his parent.
Jesus was the only begotten Son of God. By birth he has
inherited all the fullness of the divine nature. He
was God by nature having all divine attributes and thereby He
was entitled to participate in the counsel of His Father. ...”

Those who believe and teach that the Holy is not person but the

I proceeded forth and came from God. John 8:42.
"The Father may be said in some
manner to be greater than the Son, if
we consider the order of the divine
processions, that is, that the Father
is the first person, and
proceeds from no other; whereas the
Son from the Father."
(Haydock's Catholic Bible Commentary, 1859)
The Father is the great Source of all
things. He gave His only begotten Son. He gives a
holy Spirit to those who ask (Luke 11:13). Jesus is that
Spirit (2Cor 3:17). And because Jesus is God’s Son, his
Spirit is God’s Spirit. This is how both dwell in us.

“The Holy Ghost is the Spirit of
Christ. He is also the Spirit of the
Father. Thus St. Augustine argues (In
Joan, tr. xcix, 6, 7 in P.L., XXXV, 188) . . Just
as there is only one Father, just as there is
only one Lord or one Son, so there is only
one Spirit, who is, consequently, the
Spirit of both [of the other two] .”

person with individuality like God
and Christ but was both of them
(God and Christ) omnipresent. In

The Non-Trinitarian believes that there are:
Two Divine Beings in the Godhead and that the Father
is the eternal God with Jesus having been begotten of
the Father at some point in eternity. That He came
forth with the same substance as the Father and that
the Father gave His Son all His attributes including
Omniscience, Omnipotence and
His Omnipresent Spirit which is a shared Spirit and
would be the third Person of the Godhead.

1. Jesus came out of the father in eternity pass.
2. Jesus has a spirit which is Himself the same
person.
