The Holy Spirit

[Sas123]

Do all humans contain a little bit of the Holy Spirit or is this reserved only for believers ie Christians?

Are some people so evil that they can’t believe?

What are your thoughts on this question please

All humans are moral creatures and hence are able to receive the conviction of the Holy Spirit regarding wrong. But no, He does not otherwise dwell in all humans.

Are some people so evil that they can’t believe?

No, but we can render our hearts hard by continually choosing wrong.

What are your thoughts on this question please

Anytime.

Thankyou I feel that you have answered my question well.

Hi Dorothy.

This would make the Holy Spirit a finite being. Does this also apply to the Father and to the Son?

Blessings.

Why is the Holy Spirit a finite being if He doesn’t dwell in murderers and others? I don’t see the connection.

Blessings.

To you as well!!

As you know, Trinitarians believe that while there's only one God, the Godhead consists of three distinct persons - the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.

All are said to be *equally* omniscient, omnipotent, omnipresent, eternal, and unchanging.

If this is the case, then there is no place in which the Holy Spirit does not dwell. If he is within you, for example, but not within me, then he is finite.

Blessings.

The scripture doesn’t promise he dwells in child rapists and Hitlers and the like. So we can decide, based on our experience of existence, the metaphysical limitations God has or we can accept we do not experience living as God does and go by what He has told us.

The Holy spirit can be grieved. The Holy Spirit can be quenched. The Holy Spirit can leave a man who was once so filled. This means that the HS not only isn’t in everyone but He can leave those he once dwelt in.

If this is the case, then the description of the Trinity given above is false. I have no problem with that. But a Trinitarian most certainly does.

It would help if you gave me *your* understanding of the Beloved's nature.

What part of the above description do you disagree with?

Blessings.

I believe the breath of life that animates all souls is holy spirit. The original word is Ruach. So my answer would be yes, God's holy spirit keeps all breathing creatures alive.
