Jesus give me grace and endurance this Christmas. As a single mother my number one priority, are my sons. Both of them are autistic so they require a lot from me. God give me strength as I struggle to provide for them. My faith in you is still strong! Even as I struggle to pay rent every month and I struggle to buy groceries for my children, I KEEP FAITH in you LORD. Jesus hear my prayers I’m so overwhelmed and discouraged because I’m also battling lupus and have heart issues. Lord give me strength because I want to give up. 😢
1 Corinthians 8:5,6 For even if there are so-called gods, whether in heaven or on earth (as indeed there are many 'gods' and many 'lords'). Yet for us there is but one God, the Father, from whom all things came and for whom we live; and there is but one Lord, Jesus Christ, through whom all things came and through whom we live.
Amen! 🙏 praise God there are many of those who understand and worship the one true God and understand this by studying the word of God deeply with an open mind and not just taking the word of a man / video / sermon but rather by studying the subject … including the history of our pioneers who were led by the spirit to understand that there is not a 3rd person ❤❤❤
@@beaelleess3892 Blessed brethren, God bless you for this. For this is the eternal life that they may know the only true God and the one you have sent the Messiah. John 17:3
The same Paul also wrote this, "The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ and the love of God and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit be with you all." 2 Corinthians 13:14
@@HL365 how do you really infer the trinity doctrine from 2 Corinthians 13:14? FYI, Just as Mat 28:19 and 1 John 5:7, the verse just alludes to the existence of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit and nothing else. All those three verses don't tell us (they are silent) about the nature of the relationship between the three or even whether they are all beings or co-equal, co-eternal and co-whatever as the trinity doctrine claims. Should we then conclude that the earth, the spirit, and the water are all beings and co-equal since they are mentioned simultaneously in one verse in 1 John 5:8? Do you realise that 1 Cor 13:14 says that our fellowship is with the Holy Spirit yet 1 John 1:3 says that our fellowship is with the Father and the Son? These two verses are not contradicting but rather let us know that the Father and the Son fellowship with us by their Spirit not by a different third being called the Holy Spirit! I suggest that in our efforts to understand the God we worship, we should employ verses that are crystal clear and then use those verse to interprete those that are somehow vague or silent. Verses like John 17:3, 1 Cor 8:6, Rev 5:13, Rev 21:22, 1 Cor 11:3, 1 Cor 15:27-28 among others are very explicit on who is worshipped as the God of the bible i.e. The Father and His literally begotten Son Jesus Christ. You see that If we understood these clear verses very well, we can easily use them to understand the other verses that are somehow silent or vague.

Brethren, please note that Dr William Johnsson (an Australian Seventh-day Adventist theologian, author, and editor of the Adventist Review from 1982 to 2006) wrote the following: ‘Adventists beliefs have changed over the years under the impact of ‘present truth’. Most startling is the teaching regarding Jesus Christ, our Saviour and Lord … the Trinitarian understanding of God, now part of our fundamental beliefs, was not generally held by early Adventists’. (William Johnsson, Adventist Review, 6th January 1994, Article: ‘Present Truth - Walking in God’s Light’).
Remember also, Saints, early Adventists were Sunday keepers. The devil had worked long to bury fundamental truths about hell, state of the dead, Sabbath, the Holy Spirit, etc. It is through this movement that truths have been resurrected. Is it a wonder that Jesus said the only sin that can not be forgiven is blasphemy of the Holy Ghost? Praise God!
@@HL365The link itself is full of falsehood,early edventist never had fundamental beliefs but principals which aknowledged Godhead and not the catechism third god of trinity. The Bible is very clear that there is only one God and one Lord Jesus Christ if the holy spirit was a third person,it would be god the holy spirit but in the bible it's the holy spirit of Go,so how can your spirit be a different person from you,this is pure lie.
Early pioneers of the church had differing thoughts on many things. It took time to work those things out. Ellen White never used the word Trinity and stayed away from the many differing positions on it. She used the Godhead which we should do since it is endorsed by scripture and SOP>
Pastor Mark, I would like some clarification on Matthew 28:19, that you read at 33:15 in your video, the text that you put up on the screen was from the KJV. But when you quoted it you change the wording to “in the name of the Father and in the name of the Son and in the name of the Holy Spirit”, which is not how the text reads. As I look back in history according to Eusebius the original reading of Matthew 28:19 was as follows, “with one word and one voice He said to His disciples: Go, and make disciples of all nations in My name, teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you,” this was changed in the 4th century during the time of the council of Nicaea. It was at that time that a number of new doctrines were brought into the church and the Roman Catholic was being established. It’s interesting that all Baptisms in the book of Act were done in the name of Jesus or of the Lord but not once in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit. In your sermon you changed the wording to include “the name”, of in front of the Son and the Holy Spirit. I have to ask you if it wouldn’t serve your purpose better if you change Matthew 28:19 to read “in the name of God the Father and in the name of God the Son and in the name of God the Holy Spirit”, but in so doing we have violated scripture by adding to or taking away from God’s word. If you do that you could establish the Trinity Doctrine. I for one will not grieve the Holy Spirit of God and of Christ by giving it to another! Thank you for hearing me out your friend in Christ Bernard Eskildsen

Very well said, Bernie. The disciples' example should plainly establish that there is only one name under heaven by which we are saved, and it was in that name only that they baptized. If the disciples were pastors today, they would be defrocked for not baptizing "correctly." They never invoked the Father or Holy Spirit while baptizing. "Father" is not a name. What is the Father's name? "Son" is not a name. What is the son's name? Trinitarians cannot give the Father's name. But Jesus told us what it was--see John 5:43: "I am come in my Father's name, and ye receive me not: if another shall come in his own name, him ye will receive." (John 5:43) Jesus' name was the Father's name. We should already know this from Isaiah 9:6 which said that his _name_ would be called everlasting Father and mighty God, etc. Many miss the fact that "name" is not synonymous with _being._
There is nothing and again I say nothing like three co-existing equal person's,this is pure lie..The bible is very clear that there is but only one God the Father,and one son Jesus Christ. The holy spirit is the spirit of God not a person but the power of God. Remember God is omnipresent,He is omnipresent through His convicting power that is His spirit.
Years ago I was driving north on the M1. I was in the car by myself. A voice near my the left ear. In a man's voice, whom I never recognised to me to get out of that lane. I was surprised but carried on. Again the voice told me to get out of that lane, but this time more louder and in a determined voice. This time I listened. I thought it was my guardian angel. I'm starting to wonder that it might have been the Holy Spirit. Thank you who ever you are. Much love and blessings ❤️🙏❤️✝️❤
Why does Mark Finley stand in front of a phoenix mural? And by doing so, what is he attempting to communicate? The phoenix bird symbolizes immortality, and life after death. In Egyptian religions it is associated with the sun god. How is it and why is it that a Christian preacher would have behind him an 'image of Idolatry'?
Indeed, I was pondering over the very same subliminal message. They commissionned an artist who rendered the very sentiment of power that they wanted to convey, except that in God's word and in the Spirit of Prophecy writings, the holy Spirit came down in a shape likened to a dove over Christ to show Christ's meekness and submission to His Father, and in small tongues of fire over the disciples at pentecost to show the distribution of this gift to all. The Spirit of God, His presence, His glory is not to be and cannot be depicted, particularly with such "horrible" images that would well fit in a "Marvel" movie! We should really meditate on the second commandment and draw our conclusions as to what we can depict with our extraordinary tools and talents!
Yes, although that particular mural?... IS the 'phoenix'. Please do go and investigate. It just tells me plainly that even though he purportedly preaches Bible? his allegiance is elsewhere. He pays homage to the god behind the phoenix. @@astronome92
Thats because I believe Mark represents everything that is wrong with the SDA church and the apostasy that is running rampant through the anals of the upper Echelon of the GC
And Mr.M.Finlay! Some Bible verses about God only,who honoured his begotten Son!! Acts 13:30 + Roman 10:9 + 1 Corinthians 6:14;15:15 + Galatians 1:1 + Acts + 2:24;+3:33;+3:15;+4:10;+5:30 A blessed study!!!
As a 4th generation 7th Day Adventist, I am excited for the times we are living in. Who would've thought that we were living in the end of times? Come Lord Jesus, come!!!
Entire book of Revelations clearly show Jesus speaking and acting as the Spirit to the church is including laodicea our church. He is the Holy Spirit. John's vision shows there are only two thrones in heaven which all fhe universe bows down to. It is Satan trying to inject himself into the Godhead via the pagan unknown 3rd god. Is the Holy Spirit a person? Absolutely, it is Jesus Christ, the same Spirit from God. There's only one mediator comforter and helper to us that's Jesus Christ our Lord.

In Greek, spirit is a masculine word, so is referred to a "he". For example in Mark 9:18 the dumb spirit is referred to as "he". This does not mean the dumb spirit is a person. See also Matt12:43-45 where "he" is used 5 times concerning spirit. In English a ship is called "she". It does not mean that the ship is a person.

Ellen White didn’t know Greek or Hebrew yet God through His Holy Spirit revealed what His remnant church needs in this last days of earth history. The Bible says God the Father, the Everlasting God and His Son the Begotten who is God but dropped this privilege to come and die on the cross for us. Ted Wilson himself has said he can’t defend this triune thing why do you force this doctrine on us, secondly as happened in 1888 why wouldn’t the General Conference bring all together, pray over this and let’s see how God will direct us

@@HL365 The article uses big words and sophistry to Babylonialize/confuse the reader. Refer people to the word. The first beast of revelation cannot speak truth! She can only lie! You have drunk from her cup.She gave Christendom the false doctrine of the trinity.
The following verses also use “another”; did the “man” or “heart” actually become a different distinct “man” or “heart” compared to the original? 1 Sam10:6 Then the Spirit of the Lord will come upon you, and you will prophesy with them and be turned into another man… 9 So it was, when he had turned his back to go from Samuel, that God gave him another heart; and all those signs came to pass that day.
ANOTHER COMFORTER IDENTIFIED Illeism: the practice of talking about oneself in the third person, rather than the first person. google Some examples of Jesus talking about himself in the third person are given below: Mat 25:31 When the Son of man shall come in his glory, and all the holy angels with him, then shall he sit upon the throne of his glory: Mar 8:38 Whosoever therefore shall be ashamed of me and of my words in this adulterous and sinful generation; of him also shall the Son of man be ashamed, when he cometh in the glory of his Father with the holy angels. Joh 14:16-20 And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you ANOTHER COMFORTER, that he may abide with you for ever; 17 Even the Spirit of truth; whom the world cannot receive, because it seeth him not, neither knoweth him: but ye know him; for he dwelleth with you, and shall be in you. 18 I WILL NOT LEAVE YOU COMFORTLESS I WILL COME TO YOU. 19 Yet a little while, and the world seeth me no more; but ye see me: because I live, ye shall live also. 20 At that day ye shall know that I am in my Father, and ye in me, and I in you. The “ANOTHER COMFORTER” is identified by Jesus in the following verses: In verse 17 “ another comforter” is identified as “the Spirit of truth”. Who is the “spirit of truth?” 1Co 15:45 … the last Adam (Christ) was made a quickening spirit. Here the Bible describes Jesus as a spirit In John 14:6 Jesus is said to be the truth. Joh 14:6 Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me. Jesus IS the Spirit of truth! Also in verse 17 Jesus continues to identify “another comforter”: but ye know him; for he dwelleth with you (this he said in the present tense), and shall be in you. (future tense read on) He told the disciples in verse 18 I WILL NOT LEAVE YOU COMFORTLESS, I WILL COME TO YOU. And then in verse 20 said: At that day ye shall know that I am in my Father, and ye in me, and I in you . Col 1:27 To whom God would make known what is the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles; which is Christ in you, the hope of glory: When Jesus promised “another comforter”, that meant that they were already in the presence of A COMFORTER. Who was the comforter that was with the disciples? It was the Son of God in human form. So who is the “ANOTHER COMFORTER” that Jesus promised to send? The answer is, it’s Jesus in His omnipresent form. “It is not essential for you to know and be able to define just what the Holy Spirit is. Christ tells us that the Holy Spirit is the Comforter, and the Comforter is the Holy Ghost, "the Spirit of truth, which the Father shall send in My name." "I will pray the Father, and He shall give you another Comforter, that He may abide with you for ever; even the Spirit of truth; whom the world cannot receive, because it seeth Him not, neither knoweth Him: but ye know Him, for He dwelleth with you, and shall be in you" [John 14:16, 17]. This refers to the omnipresence of the Spirit of Christ, called the Comforter. Again Jesus says, "I have yet many things to say unto you, but ye cannot bear them now. Howbeit when He, the Spirit of truth is come, He will guide you into all truth"” [John 16:12, 13]. {14MR 179.2} “Cumbered with humanity, Christ could not be in every place personally; therefore it was altogether for their advantage that He should leave them, go to His father, and send the Holy Spirit to be His successor on earth. The Holy Spirit is Himself divested of the personality of humanity and independent thereof. He would represent Himself as present in all places by His Holy Spirit, as the Omnipresent. "But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in My name, He shall (although unseen by you), teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you" [John 14:26]. "Nevertheless I tell you the truth; It is expedient for you that I go away: for if I go not away, the Comforter will come not unto you; but if I depart, I will send Him unto you" [John 16:7]. {14MR 23.3} Joh 4:24 God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth. Joh 20:22 And when he had said this, he breathed on them, and saith unto them, Receive ye the Holy Ghost (HOLY SPIRIT): Think it through; when Jesus breathed on them did he breathe the third person of the Godhead on the assembly or did He give them His power or influence? Act 20:28 Take heed therefore unto yourselves, and to all the flock, over the which the Holy Ghost hath made you overseers, to feed the church of God, which he hath purchased with his own blood. Did the Holy Ghost shed his blood for us or was it Christ? 1Co 6:19 What? know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own? Col 1:27 To whom God would make known what is the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles; which is Christ in you, the hope of glory: Joh 15:26 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: @@larrybedouin2921

The Holy Spirit of God is God himself not some force… I have never heard a person argue that that Gods Holy Spirit is a force and that is not what the pioneers believed either … this is a gross misunderstanding or MISREPRESENTATION of the belief that the spirit of God is his own person!!! And it is not that hard to understand! He is misrepresenting- again as all those who don’t want to understand the spirit of God…. I’m sure this grieves God in his spirit to be misrepresented 😢 I feel sorry for these who do not want to comprehend … there is too much to be lost… reputation and so there much be pride - only God knows ….

@@HL365when Nebuchadnezzar's spirit was troubled,was another Nebuchadnezzar troubled or the same person? The holy spirit of God is God Himself through his convicting power and not another God or thir person. We all know how his trinitarian God was sneaked into the Adventist church and pastors defend it with their blood to keep being relevant to the paycheck but in reality,they don't understand what they advocate for.
Pastor Finley, according to Scriptures and SOP there are only two divine beings: the Father and the Son, and not three. And concerning the Holy Spirit the Scriptures tell us that it is the Spirit of the Father and of the Son, and not a separate being from the Father and the Son. (Please study John 14:1, 17:3, 1 Corinthians 8:6, 2 Corinthians 3:17, Galatians 4:6 and 1 John 2:22.)
According to the Bible and the Writings of Ellen White, there are three persons. Please read these: www.atsjats.org/10burt-sdatrinity0601.pdf www.ministrymagazine.org/archive/2012/04/ellen-white-and-the-personhood-of-the-holy-spirit
@@HL365 Nowhere does the Bible say that the Holy Spirit is a separate divine being from the Father and the Son, to the contrary the Scriptures tell us that there are only two divine beings: the Father and the Son, and not three. If you study what Ellen White said regarding the Holy Spirit, she always referred to it as the Spirit of God and of the Son, or Jesus. Also, Ellen White referred to the Holy Spirit by "it", "its" and "itself"; now, if the Holy Spirit was a divine being then believe me it would have been a blasphemy for her to address it by those thse terms.

Great 🙋 question I am getting very confused ! The Bible says there’s only One God, and one advocate mediator , intercessor between God and man which is the man Christ Jesus ! I Timothy 2:5-6
@@lucianacleaningservices2229 sir, please everything is clear that God is one 1 Corinthians 15;26 to 28 Please everything is clear but if people want to based on the theology of human organizations, we begin to confuse ourselves. How can one say we have three God's, others one God but exist in three, some even say they are co-equal co-eternal. Then how did Jesus Christ died. I am pleading with all the believers here that let's accept what the Bible teaches but not the fundamental beliefs of some organization. Duetoronomy 6;4. There is a huge difference between the oneness of God and the trinity of God
@@lucianacleaningservices2229you are on the right track to figuring it out!!! There is but ONE mediator! Our Lord and Savior and high priest - Jesus .. the only begotten son of God
Thanks pastor you inspired me i have understood the Godhead. Iam very happy to be among the chosen and the seed of Abraham guided by the holy spirit amen amen amen 🙏🙏
WHAT A MESSAGE INDEED... was trying help our church Understand who the HOLY SPIRIT IS... many were mesmerised to know that HE IS AMONG THE GODHEAD- THIRD PERSON IN THE TRINITY. THANKS so much pastor MARK ALWAYS A BLESSSING
The Holy Spirit is definitely (Real Person) the Person of Jesus Christ, just like the use of third party pronouns in the book of John (as well as other books in the New Testament, even the Old Testament). The Word is the Person of Jesus Christ, the Only Begotten Son of God is the Person of Jesus Christ , The Person of the Son of Man is the Person of Jesus Christ, the Lamb of God is the Person of Jesus Christ, the Light of the World is the Person of Jesus Christ, the Person of the Son of Man is Jesus Christ, the True Vine is the Person of Jesus Christ, the True Shepherd is the Person of Jesus Christ, the Temple of God in terms of John 2:21 is the Person of Jesus Christ, the High Priest is the Person of Jesus Christ, the Messiah Son of David is the Person of Jesus Christ, the Resurrection and Life is the Person of Jesus Christ, Immanuel is the Person of Jesus Christ, the Way, Truth and Life is the Person of Jesus Christ, Bread of Life, Water of Life, Passover Lamb, Angel of the Covenant, Ladder in Jacob's dream, Spirit of Prophecy is the Person of Jesus Christ,
Did you know that Mrs. White used the word "trinity" to refer to ... well, I'll quote her words: "But beware of that which the old writers called the world’s trinity-the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes and the pride of life." (Ellen White, 1898). Let us beware!
Why is Mark talking about the Spirit of God as another being and person? Doesn't God have these attributes? Or do we make God into an unknown, unpersonal God? The Spirit of God, comes to the true believer now as the Spirit of Christ.
Amen pastor Finley , we need the Holy Spirit and He is a person : We want the Holy Spirit, which is Jesus Christ. If we commune with God, we shall have strength and grace and efficiency. Letters and Manuscripts - Volume 9 (1894), Lt 66, par. 18 “Cumbered with humanity, Christ could not be in every place personally; therefore it was altogether for their advantage that He should leave them, go to His father, and send the Holy Spirit to be His successor on earth. The Holy Spirit is Himself divested of the personality of humanity and independent thereof. He would represent Himself as present in all places by His Holy Spirit, as the Omnipresent.” Manuscript Releases (1993). (Vol. 14, p. 23). (MR NO. 1084. Feb. 19, 1895)
How can the holy spirit comfort humans since he was never experience temptations? Jesus was the son of God, became man, was tempted as we are and yet without sin. Jesus is our Comforter, not another separate god call the holy spirit. The holy spirit is the life and presence of God the Father and Jesus Christ.
@NamelessUsers what you are teaching is closer to the Catholic trinity. The SDA fundamental belief #2 is biblical. Don't take Jesus words out of context. Jesus breathing on the disciples for them to receive the Holy Spirit does not prove that the Holy Spirit is just a force or an impersonal power or presence. Study the weight of evidence. The Holy Spirit speaks, directs, guides, has feelings, can be grieved, is called God, is referred to as He and Him over 20 times in John 14-16, is referred to as a person, has a mind and a will, can be blasphemed and is eternal. He is a separate divine person from Christ and the Father. The weight of evidence supports that and so does the SOP. Three living persons of the heavenly trio. John 14-16, Matthew 12:31-32, 1 Corinthians 12:11, Hebrews 9:14, Matthew 28:19-20, Matthew 3:16-17 Matthew 28:19-20, there is clearly three mentioned here, there is a Father, there is a Son, and there is a Holy Spirit. All are eternal and all our ONE. Genesis 1:26, John 10:30 Search a series by Glyn Parfitt on this topic. Please watch his series ua-cam.com/video/Nx_N41YgcGk/v-deo.html
Ellen White said that the Holy Spirit is the Spirit of the Father and His Son! There is only one God, one Son of God and their Holy Spirit! No where does the Bible say that there is 3 Gods! Jesus said that He is the Comforter. You cannot prove that the Holy Spirit is God from the Bible or EW writings.
One can easily prove from the Bible and the writings of Ellen White that the Holy Spirit is the third person of the Godhead if one is open to look at the evidence suspending their bias. We are not saying there are three gods. We are saying there are one God who are three in persons.
I don't understand why there is a big fuss and objection about making the Holy Spirit 'another God', a third God' when you clearly believe that Jesus is 'another God' or 'second God'? Why can you not believe the simple truth that there is one God but in three persons as clearly stated by the Bible and Sp of Pr?
@@megh5870the Holy Spirit is the Spirit of God the Father and Jesus Gods Son. We have a spirit but our spirit is not holy. Jesus said a spirit has not flesh nor bones. There is one God and one begotten Son of God and one Spirit that comes from the Two. If you study the Bible and Spirit of Prophecy deeply you will see the truth.
@@megh5870 Jesus was clearly given divinity and power was clearly given him in the Bible. It does still not make him the very PERSON of God, but would you be ok if God said let it be so for his son ? If the Bible clearly says that he gave this to his Only Begotten Son?
God Himself is a Holy Spirit John 4:24, and never in the scripture mentioning "God the Holy Spirit. John 14:18 Christ says "I will not leave you comfortless, I will come to you." Jesus christ comes to dwell with His people by His Spirit, because He is also a Spirit like God the Father. John 4:24. The scripture is so clear on this issue. John 15 reveals that Jesus Christ Himself is dwelling or abiding with His people by His Holy Spirit. Even Apostle Paul did mention that God sent the Spirit of His Son into the hearts of His people. Galatians 4:6 It is Jesus Christ Himself (through His Holy Spirit) that " stands and knocks.on the door ( the door of our hearts) for entrance because He wants to dwell with His people. Revelation 3:20. Therefore, the Holy Spirit is none other than God Himself as in John 4:24.
I am still not convinced. All power and authority is given to Jesus Christ both in heaven and in earth to carry out His Father's will. Christ is our saviour, our mediator, our advocate, our judge, yes He is our everything. It is Christ that dwells with His people. I still could not discover the scripture of another 3rd person, called "God the Holy Spirit". The Bible only reveals the Holy Spirit as God Himself (The Spirit of God). This Spirit is the very life of God, the scripture refers to it as a "quickening spirit" or the spirit of life. This is the very life of God, which He also gave to His Son, Jesus Christ to have life in Himself. John 5:26 Christ, when He created a human being (Adam) breathed into his nostrils this "breath of life" or the spirit, and man become a living soul. Similarly also when Christ poured out the Holy Spirit onto His disciples, He breathed on them. John 20:22
Some would like to believe that "God" and "Lord" are synonyms. This is how they attempt to harmonize 1 Corinthians 8:6 with their Trinity dogma, for it says: "But to us there is but one God, the Father, of whom are all things, and we in him; and one Lord Jesus Christ, by whom are all things, and we by him." However, a comparison of Matthew 22:32 with Romans 14:9 should lay to rest any notion of God = Lord. Consider the evidence for yourselves. "I am the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob? God is not the God of the dead, but of the living." (Matthew 22:32) "For to this end Christ both died, and rose, and revived, that he might be Lord both of the dead and living." (Romans 14:9) God is not the God of the dead, but Christ is Lord of the dead. The Bible teaches plainly that there is a distinction between these terms, and they are not the same being. (Remember, Ellen White says "God is a being."). In fact, the "and" in Greek ("kai"), can be used to separate between two separate entities, as it does in 1 Corinthians 8:6. Had the writer wished to equate them, a separate, more poetic conjunction, could have been used or added, which is "te" in Greek. Putting the two words together, i.e. "τε καὶ", creates an expression which places the two things on a level with each other--and this is often translated as "both." But the Father is not _both_ our God and our Lord, nor is Jesus _both_ our Lord and our God. The father is "the only true God" (John 17:3), and Jesus is our Lord.
The apostles denied the trinity,@Acts, 5:28-32, Jehovah rose Jesus from the dead,v, 32,, and we are Jesus'witnesses of these things, and so, is the Holy spirit, which God given to those who obey him as a ruler, so, if the holy spirit is one person, how can it be given to many believers? Paul also stated @Romans,10:9, If you have faith in your heart that Jehovah rose Jesus from the dead , you will be saved, , so, its not Jesus rose himself, @Mat, 10:26-28/Deut, 32:39/1st,Sam, 2:6-7/2nd,Kings,5:7.
Jesus says in John 10:18, "No one takes it from me, but I lay it down of my own accord. I have authority to lay it down, and I have authority to take it up again.

@@HL365 If the Holy Spirit is a person like you claim, then are you saying the Holy Spirit is the Father of Jesus in Matt.1:18? This is NOT the only contradiction, but I would like to point this out. I would also like to know why SDA's don't believe in what the Bible says, for SDA's say Catholics and Sunday worshippers don't keep the commandments according to 1John 2:4, but if one looked at this scripture carefully, it states "...and the truth in NOT in him.", so are you contradicting this scripture to say Catholics and Sunday Protestants are correct with the Trinity teaching and they have the truth? What about Rev.17:5, SDA's say the mother is the RCC and the harlots are daughters that follow her teachings, but are NOT SDA's a daughter too, keeping the pagan teachings of the RCC? "Christianity didn't destroy paganism, it adopted it" by Will Durant. Personification is used on the Holy Spirit, it is NOT a person.
@@HL365 Another is if you believe the Trinity is biblical, then why do Roman Catholics teach their Trinity did not come from the Bible and cannot be fully understood? "In scripture there is as yet no single term by which the Three Divine Persons are denoted together...The Vatican Council has explained the meaning attributed to the term mystery in theology. It lays down that a mystery is a truth which we are not merely incapable of discovering apart from Divine Revelation, but which, even when revealed, remains "hidden by the veil of faith and enveloped, so to speak, by a kind of darkness" (Const., "De fide. cath.", iv) (Joyce G.H. The Blessed Trinity. The Catholic Encyclopedia, volume XV Copyright 1912 by Robert Appleton Company Online Edition Copyright 2003 by K. Knight). Protestants say... "It is indeed true that the name "Trinity" is nowhere to be found in the Holy Scriptures, but has been conceived and invented by man." - (Luther Martin. The Sermons of Martin Luther, Church Postil, 1522; III: 406-421, PC Study Bible formatted electronic database Copyright 2003, 2006 by Biblesoft, Inc. All rights reserved.) Also the doctrine of the (1John 4:3)Anti-Christ denies Jesus truly came in the flesh (John 1:14). Catholics and Protestants teach that Jesus was 'fully human and fully God, so they reject that Jesus emptied Himself of His divinity (Phil.2:7), thus they deny Jesus truly came in the flesh.
Your position on the Holy Spirit is incorrect. Your view is dangerous, may you prayerfully and humbly ask the Spirit of truth to guide you into all truth Matthew 12:31-32 ”“Therefore I say to you, every sin and blasphemy will be forgiven men, but the blasphemy against the Spirit will not be forgiven men. Anyone who speaks a word against the Son of Man, it will be forgiven him; but whoever speaks against the Holy Spirit, it will not be forgiven him, either in this age or in the age to come.“
@@ericfolks1503 How do you know my position is incorrect? How do you know that God didn't guide me into His truth? I think you should (James 1:5)ask God, you would know that you have the false concept, NOT me. I have God's Spirit, I know good from evil (Heb.5:14) and I was (2Tim.1:9)called out of SDA Church (Babylon Confusion) from God long ago and called into His true Church (Eph.5:27). Another is why did you NOT answer my 1st question; did you NOT see it? That's what happens is because people are brainwashed in their own ideas, they are blinded to see what the Bible actually says. I feel you don't understand and don't want to know the truth because you want to stand on a concept that is based on falsehood. Please open your eyes and ask God to show you His truth. Another is why do you think SDA is correct when they got the concept from the RCC? Oh I forgot people think RCC is true, NOT false! Why does the majority (Matt.7:13) want to follow RCC: the Beast of Revelation? SDA say the RCC is false, but I guess they don't really believe it like other scriptures that say it's false. RCC is the corrupt tree, for a corrupt tree cannot produce forth good fruit (Matt.7:18) and it states in 1John 2:4 that those that don't keep the commandments, there is no truth in him; did you get that? What about Rev.17:5, maybe people want to ignore this one too, that the RCC has daughter churches that follow 1 or more of her teachings, SDA Church is a daughter, it has many doctrines that are false, of which several came from the RCC.
Rev 19:10 Then I fell down at his feet to worship him, but he said to me, “You must not do that! I am a fellow servant with you and your brothers who hold to the testimony of Jesus. Worship God.” For the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy.
God sent HIS Spirit (totally under HIS divine control!) and it became operative on Samson" ( Judges 15:14 ) Yes many times, God's Spirit and power are linked! ( Eph 3:16). All creation is the result of "If you send forth YOUR SPIRIT they are created "(Psalm 104:30). Then there is the comparison with 'water' 'wine' e.t.c and then too God 'distributes His spirit' He 'pours it out'! a PERSON! Give me a break
Amen. Very good Biblical references. And how about Luke chapter 11? Jesus depicts the Spirit as 'food' that his Father gives to us. And what of Numbers 11? The chapter gives proper instruction as to what the Spirit of God is. God removes a portion of His Spirit from Moses and then divides it among the elders. So then, according to Pastor Mark, God splinters up and fragments the person of 'god the spirit'?? I am quite sorry to hear of Pastor Finley's misappropriation of God's Spirit. Mark's doctrine is at variance to the said chapter of Numbers 11. Right?
"And this IS eternal life that you KNOW the ONE true God and Jesus Christ whom He has sent." John 17:3. There is NO other. SDAs may not be aware that the official written statement of the Adventist church claims that 'Jesus is NOT the natural, literal Son of God,' per the Bible Research Institute. Why? Because if you believe in the trinity doctrine, it also claims that Christ, the Son of God was never begotten from God the Father. The gospel is plain simple and literal. But the Pharisees of this day have twisted truth a child can understand using human philosophy and their own satanic doctrine. If you think how Christians vehemently defend the literal creation by God of man and woman when it comes to society's debate of human identity, yet fail to stand on the simple Bible truth of God, Jesus' God and Father, sent Christ to save us. Where is the love and power of the Gospel if it is all role-playing and metaphors?
Thanks for your comment. Unfortunately you are mistaken. Yes, Jesus is not the natural, literal son of God. I'd encourage you to look at the original greek word. You’d find that the word often translated as begotten in the Bible is not a good translation of the Greek word. The Greek word literally means one and only unique one. It simply means Jesus is unique. In fact, he is unique because in His incarnation, He is fully God and fully man. Jesus cannot be the Holy Spirit because He prayed for another comforter.

@@bobbi2235 You're a speculator. That is a total irrelevant question you're asking. What name do you have for the Holy Spirit after reading the Bible? If you're asking unbiblical questions, you only get yourself lost and never to be found. I already saw that your question is irrelevant so I told you that you are lost. Ask Right questions to get right answers to get to a right destination. I think you will still ask "what's my name? even if you already have your name". Read the Bible and find out what is written and those things written are only things by the will of God He wants us to know at the moment. Other questions apart from those ones that are written in the Bible are not for us to know and God has a reason not to give us everything. Read John 16: 12-13
Mark Finley said the Holy Spirit has a name, I said, What is the name of the Holy Spirit. Ellen White said that the Holy Spirit is the Spirit of God the Father and His Son Jesus.
Pastor Mark Finely, I enjoy listening to your sermons, but I have to say that you left out the most important information which is found in the Bible, There is specific bible verses that addresses Pharisees accusing Jesus of performing miracles through the power of Satan and the warning about blasphemy against the Holy Spirit can be found in Matthew 12:22-32 (ESV): **Accusation by Pharisees:** Matthew 12:22-24: "Then a demon-oppressed man who was blind and mute was brought to him, and he healed him, so that the man spoke and saw. And all the people were amazed, and said, 'Can this be the Son of David?' But when the Pharisees heard it, they said, 'It is only by Beelzebul, the prince of demons, that this man casts out demons.'" **Jesus' Response and Warning:** Matthew 12:25-32: "Knowing their thoughts, he said to them, 'Every kingdom divided against itself is laid waste, and no city or house divided against itself will stand. And if Satan casts out Satan, he is divided against himself. How then will his kingdom stand?...But if it is by the Spirit of God that I cast out demons, then the kingdom of God has come upon you... Therefore I tell you, every sin and blasphemy will be forgiven people, but the blasphemy against the Spirit will not be forgiven.'" These passages emphasize the seriousness of attributing the work of the Holy Spirit to evil forces and the associated warning against blasphemy.

But wisdom is justified of her children. 24:30And then shall appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven: and then shall all the tribes of the earth mourn, and they shall see the Son of man coming in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory. LUKE 18:8 I tell you that he will avenge them speedily. Nevertheless when the Son of man cometh, shall he find faith on the earth? the book of ephesus writes the holy Spirit of God not God of Holy Spirit EPH 4:30And grieve not the holy Spirit of God, whereby ye are sealed unto the day of redemption. Letters and Manuscripts - Volume 7 (1891-1892), Ms 36, 1891, par. 42 but it is the leaven of the spirit of Jesus Christ, which is sent down from heaven, called the Holy Ghost, and that Spirit affects the heart and the character.

Romans 8:9 But you are not in the flesh but in the Spirit, if indeed the Spirit of God dwells in you. Now if anyone does not have the Spirit of Christ, he is not His. Romans 8:10 And if Christ is in you, the body is dead because of sin, but the Spirit is life because of righteousness. Romans 8:11 But if the Spirit of Him who raised Jesus from the dead dwells in you, He who raised Christ from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies through His Spirit who dwells in you. Pastor Finley, the third person of the Godhead is not a being like the God the Father and Jesus the Son of the Living God, the Father.. The Holy Spirit is the person of God the Father and His literal Son Jesus Christ (Romans 8:9,10,11)....After a person accepted Christ as his personal savior, Christ through His Holy Spirit dwells in him ..for only through the righteousness of Christ will a converted person be justified and saved for eternity..
Matt 20.18 for where 2 or 3 gather together in my name, I'm there in there in the midst of them.......here Jesus is speaking. Question. how can Jesus be in the midst when he is the high priest in mediation locked inside in heavenly temple 🛕.? He is not supposed to come out physically until the harvest time or second advent...therefore by omnipresent spirit or holy spirit Jesus is amongst our midst.
You already know he's lying when he misrepresents and lies about the correct BIBLICAL view and beliefs of those he's opposing. Just the fact that the Holy Spirit is of God and Christ makes the Spirit all powerful. Not a nameless god. It is the unpardonable sin because if you knowingly reject truth in the Bible that the Spirit is from God and even EG White states that Christ Is the Holy Spirit, then how can Christ save you?
NO! The CUP was NOT all the physical and emotional suffering which awaited Jesus! It was not the beating and turning away of his people and his mother and the crown of thorns... none of all these! Many martyrs endured ALL of these and did not ask this cup of suffering be removed from them! For Jesus, the CUP was the bearing of the SINS of the whole world! He was to be separated from His Father because of that CUP bringing the real death to him, not just the sleep of the first death ... and THAT was unbearable to him! But Jesus said ... I will drink it nevertheless, because THY will be done, O Father! But praise be to God! The Innocent one could not be held by death! The sins were not his, they could not be held against Him ... They stayed at the entrance of death and could not retain him under its power! God, the Father, the only true God RAISED his beloved, innocent, self-sacrificed Son! And Jesus came out from death to life with our HOPE: I am the resurrection and the life! Let us believe in the only true God and in His only begotten Son, the divine Son, Jesus! Amen!
Who would be the four highest beings in Heaven before the fall of man (before sin) if the Holy Spirit was a third co-equal being as per the Trinity doctrine? It would be the Father, Son, Holy Spirit and Lucifer. Who is it that wants to be like the most High and be worshipped and prayed to as God? (Isaiah 14:12-14) What if the Holy Spirit was not a third literal being. Who would then be the third highest being? Lucifer! So if the Holy Spirit is not a third literal being, a separate God, then who would be answering our prayers if we prayed to the “Spirit”? Who would be setting himself up as a third “God” worthy of praise and worship? Has Satan succeeded in accomplishing his goal of being included as a deity? If we now believe the Holy Spirit can be worshipped and prayed to just like the Father and the Son, who actually receives our worship? If the Holy Spirit is not a third being then whose spirit would we have according to our belief and who would we be giving our adoration to? For Adventists: Before sin - “Among the inhabitants of heaven, Satan, next to Christ, was at one time most honored of God, and highest in power and glory.” - (E.G. White, ST, July 23, 1902) The Spirit of Prophecy confirms that Satan did use to be the third highest being in Heaven. Not a third being called the Holy Spirit as the Trinity doctrine claims. Since the trinity doctrine claims Jesus is also the one God, an Adventist author from the 1800's wrote, “To believe that doctrine, when reading the scripture we must believe that God sent Himself into the world, died to reconcile the world to Himself, raised Himself from the dead, ascended to Himself in heaven, pleads before Himself in heaven to reconcile the world to Himself, and is the only mediator between man and Himself… We must believe also that in the garden God prayed to Himself, if it were possible, to let the cup pass from Himself, and a thousand other such absurdities.” - (J.N. Loughborough)
We need the leading of the holy spirit to. guide us and cover us from righteousness so that we will not be tempted from sin but delivered us from harden our heart because i claim your scripture from Ezekiel 36:25,26,27 for my family.Thank you Pastor Mark.
Pastor Mark, you said the HS have a name, what’s the name? The HS is the presence of Jesus that dwell in our hearts. He “Jesus “ can’t dwell with us while He’s in heaven. So He send His Spirit , the comforter to reach us. It’s not another man. By saying the HS is a person like the Father and the Sun , you are denying that GOD. Is the father of Jesus . Mathew 1:18 before they came together, she was found with child of the Holy Ghost. V:20 Joseph, thou son of David, fear not to take unto thee Mary thy wife: for that which is conceived in her is of the Holy Ghost. pastor Mark are you telling me that The Holy Ghost is another being different from the Spirit of GOD?
Min 35:14 - Pr. Mark reffers to the Holy Spirit as "it". Yet he emphasised that the Spirit is a person because he is called "he" mor ethan 10 times in John 16. Yet the Pr. Is correct when calles the Spirit "it". For in Romans 8:16, 8:26 we find epression like " The Spirit ITSELF ". and 1 Pet 1:11 says "it" too referring to the Spirit. Desire of Ages that he's read in Page 805.3 also says "it" about H.S. And the author of the book repeats that countless times including her other best seller book The Great Controversy . If you keep referring to the H.S as an "it" its because youve read your bible. You see if you just read your bible without being aware of this trinitarian Controversy you'll just find your using "it" for the HS effortlessly, without thinking much about it and without feeling that its wrong. Truth is you can use both "He" and "it" for the the Holy Spirit. Both are Biblical. Question is can you call the Father or the Son it? If not then there muat be something different about the Holy Spirit's personality. Thnk about it.
The grammatical gender of the word for “Spirit,” Gr. pneuma, is neuter. Consequently, the pronoun “itself” must likewise be neuter in the Greek. When the Holy Spirit is referred to by the masculine name paraklētos, “Comforter,” the masculine pronoun is used (see John 15:26; 16:7, 13). It is obvious that the personality of the Holy Spirit cannot be argued by the gender of the pronouns that may be used Francis D. Nichol, ed., The Seventh-Day Adventist Bible Commentary, vol. 6 (Review and Herald Publishing Association, 1980), 568.
Amen. And what is sadly overlooked with respect to the 'he' is that it is Christ speaking, as he does extensively... in the third person. Some examples, and there are many more examples... 'For the bread of God is HE which cometh down from heaven, and giveth life unto the world.' John 6:33 'For God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in HIM should not perish.' John 3:16 'When the Son of man shall come in HIS glory, and all the holy angels with HIM, then shall HE sit upon the throne of HIS glory: and before HIM shall be gathered all nations.' Matt 25:31 So then. If Pastor Mark insists that the Comforter is some person other than Christ, then in all fairness, is not also the bread of life and the Son of man?

The Holy Spirit is referred to as Him, He because, He is the Spirit of God the Father and Jesus Christ and they, the Father and Son are masculine! The bible reference is always to the spirit of God and the spirit of Christ, NEVER God the Holy Spirit. Where is God the Spirit when God the Father and our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ comes to take us home?? Why is HE sitting on His own throne also?
At baptism there was Christ in water, The father in heaven and The spirit was coming down as a dice so how come it's inherent in Christ or Father when at that time it was seen separate

Three Ellen White quotes on the identity of the Holy Spirit: "Cumbered with humanity, Christ could not be in every place personally; therefore it was altogether for their advantage that He should leave them, go to His father, and send the Holy Spirit to be His successor on earth. The Holy Spirit is Himself divested of the personality of humanity and independent thereof. He would represent Himself as present in all places by His Holy Spirit, as the Omnipresent." (Ellen G. White, 14MR 23.3, 1895). "We want the Holy Spirit, which is Jesus Christ." (E. White, Letter 66, April 10, 1894, par.17-18). “The Holy Spirit is the SPIRIT of CHRIST; it is HIS REPRESENTATIVE. Here is the divine agency that carries conviction to hearts. When the power of His Spirit is revealed through the servants of God, we behold divinity flashing through humanity.” - (E.G. White, 13MR 313.3, 1895)

Romans 8:26,34 ”Likewise the Spirit also helps in our weaknesses. For we do not know what we should pray for as we ought, but the Spirit Himself makes intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered. Who is he who condemns? It is Christ who died, and furthermore is also risen, who is even at the right hand of God, who also makes intercession for us.“ So the Holy Spirit makes intercession, meaning He intercedes with our prayers. And verse 34 says that Christ ALSO makes intercession 🤔 Acts 5:3-4 ”But Peter said, “Ananias, why has Satan filled your heart to lie to the Holy Spirit and keep back part of the price of the land for yourself? While it remained, was it not your own? And after it was sold, was it not in your own control? Why have you conceived this thing in your heart? You have not lied to men but to God.”“ 🤷♂️
As Adventists we believe that the Scripture teaches that the Holy Spirit is the third person of the godhead. He is a just a person as the Father and son are. He is a separate person yet, along with the Father and the son, He has worked in creation and is working in the salvation and redemption of man. Often times the Holy Spirit is referred to as God’s Spirit or like Pastor Mark mentioned in the prayer, but this doesn’t mean that the Holy Spirit is not a separate person. Jesus said that I and my Father are one. But that doesn’t mean that Jesus is the Father. He is a separate person.

He keeps tripping up on his own words disproving his own claim. Yes Jesus as a man could not send His Spirit until he ascended to heaven and was glorified. Recall in the Bible he breathed the Holy Spirit on the disciples as a taste of what He would do.

Thank you very much pastor Finley! You have brought the clarity of whom the Holy Spirit is with the help of Holy Spirit, Himself. May God continue to bless and encourage you to educating everyone who is willing to know about God and becoming His disciple.
Dear Pastor Mark, The Lord used you many years ago to bring me to Christ. My life has been forever changed and I am grateful for that. As I watched your video I came away very saddened. It seemed to me that the main take away is that if someone does not believe that the Holy Spirit is the third person that makes up the one God, if they believe that the Holy Spirit is anything other than that, and if they don’t give up that belief and repent and accept the Holy Spirit as the third person of the Godhead (Trinity), that eventually they will grieve away the Holy Spirit and commit the unpardonable sin. This is a serious position to take. This leads to condemnation and ultimately judging ones salvation. Also, it appears that you have a misunderstanding of what the vast majority of those who don’t believe that the Holy Spirit is a person separate from the Father and Son, really believe. The the Holy Spirit is just what the Bible says the “Spirit of God” not a force. My husband and I were disfellowshiped and shunned over this doctrine not because of anything we had done, but because of fear of what we might say or do. My husband and I are of the older generation and was not baptized when the church believed God was a Trinity. We were not taught that God is a Trinity as it was long before 1981 when the churches fundamental belief was changed and officially voted in at the GC session. I thank you for the years of dedication in bringing souls to Christ. Now I ask that you prayerfully inquire of God if your message in that video was according to His will. I send this with love and concern for you are my brother in Christ even if we don’t believe the same on this issue. May God bless.
Please email us at info@hopelives365.com and we would be very glad to provide you with biblical evidences that the doctrine of Trinity is Biblical, Adventist's historical understanding the Holy Spirit, and that the Holy Spirit is the Third Person of the Godhead and not just Christ's or the Father's Spirit.
Thank you for your testimony and reply to this video. I was also saddened, because I detected sleight of hand and subtle manipulation of God's people. Pastor Mark's target is not those Christians who believe the Holy Spirit is just a power or influence, but Adventists who reject the doctrine of the Trinity. The proof of that is in the reply from @HL365, claiming that the third person of the Godhead is not "just Christ's or the Father's Spirit." The "just" suggests that the omnipresence of Christ or the Father also lacks omnipotence and omniscience, and They need the help of another being to accomplish it. This eviscerates the false premise that we believe it is just a power or influence and reveals what we actually believe= the "Spirit of God" is a person. The spiritual presence of Christ is Christ, and Christ is a person! If I remember correctly, Pastor Mark claimed that the "third person" showed up 10 times by the word "He" in John 16 alone. Jesus is a He! The term "third person" is not found in the Bible at all, contrary to what Pastor Mark said. The term "third person" originates in the writings of Ellen White, so you must allow her to define what she means. I find it hard to believe that when quoting Desire of Ages pages 671 regarding the "third person of the Godhead", that the last sentence of that paragraph that tells who that third person is, is not repeatedly and PURPOSEFULLY left out= "Christ has given HIS Spirit as a divine power...". Withholding information or telling only what you want people to see is deception. The other covert message is a warning about heresy and even coming close to committing the unpardonable sin. To say it plainly, if I don't believe the Holy Spirit is "a being" separate from the Father and Son, then that is heresy, which makes me a heretic. I would warn that consistent rejection of truth is not the only definition of the unpardonable sin. It is also attributing the work of God's Spirit to be the work of Satan. If God, by His Spirit, is bringing about a revival of primitive godliness and returning Adventists to the pillars and landmarks of our faith, and you account this as heresy= the work of Satan, then who is in danger of committing the unpardonable sin? It is an indisputable fact that by the test Pastor Mark has suggested in this sermon, the founding fathers of the Adventist faith believed in heresy, for they did not believe in the Trinity or a triune God. They believed heresy according to Pastor Mark's own words and definition. "That most of the leading SDA pioneers were non-Trinitarian" is "accepted Adventist history... either the pioneers were wrong and the present church is right, or the pioneers were right and the present Seventh-day Adventist Church has apostatized from biblical truth." (J. Moon, The Trinity, 190). In other words, either the pioneers believed in heresy, or the Church has apostatized and now believes heresy. There is no mingling of darkness with light when it comes to truth. I am asking for a personal response from Pastor Mark to explain his reasoning and intentions. Is it possible, that like the Jew's in Christ's day, in protecting the institution of the organized Church, Christ is once again being rejected= the "Spirit of Christ" is rejected for "another"?
Yes, the God Head. 🙏🏼 Not the trinity. Thank you pastor Findley. Rom 8:9-11 the Holy Spirit is the Spirit of God, the Holy Spirit is the Spirit of Christ, the Spirit of Him that raised up Jesus from the dead, which is God the Father. 2 Cor 3:17 now the Lord is that Spirit…. Gal 4:6 God hath sent forth the Spirit of His Son into your hearth crying Abba Father. Col 2:5 though I be absent in the flesh yet I am with you in Spirit…
What a disgrace. He damn well knows the truth. Even the RCC does not bother with defending Trinity doctrine which is the foundation of their beliefs and simply call it a mystery because it's completely unbiblical and utter nonsense. Revelations couldn't be any clearer when it reveals which beings are worshiped in heaven on God's throne. There is God the Father, and Jesus the Son of God. Period. To attribute God's and Christ's mighty Spirit to an unknown false god is the sin. Jesus is the way the truth and the LIFE. Why would we then need another? He sent his spirit to us after he returned to heaven. Only Christ can mediate only Christ can comfort only Christ can give life.

And the angels had to be commanded to worship Jesus--see Hebrews 1:6. This command would have been unnecessary if he had been God, for surely the angels would have known who Jesus was! But God has shared His glory and honor with the Son.
The RCC introduced this trinitarian belief into the church in 325 AD at the First Council of Nicea. Prior to this time, none of God's people embraced this mystical concept. The RCC know it's not biblical. Constantine settled the debate for the church by embracing this new mystical belief of a trinity. Additionally, at this council, he also removed several books from the bible. I would encourage everyone to search for yourselves by asking the question, "What happened at the 1st council of Nicea in 325 AD? Study to show yourselves approved unto God and God alone, the only Potentate. When I read the word "He" in reference to the Holy Spirit, I've learned that the "He" refers to the gender of the source of the Spirit. The gender is masculine, God is a He. No need for debate. As I said, study for yourself. It's sad that we quickly say that some things are a mystery when we don't understand something, nor search out the deep things of God for ourselves. We readily receive what the learned men teach us. And that's okay if we have searched to find out whether or not what they say are true, and find them to be true. 1 Corinthians 2:10 - These are the things God has revealed to us by his Spirit. The Spirit searches all things, even the deep things of God. (A study of this verse alone, outside of what we've been taught, would give many a deeper understanding of spirit.) Again, 2 Timothy 2:15 Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth. SELAH!
Show me one place in the bible where the so-called third person of the Godhead "god the holy spirit" sits on a throne and receives worship. Have you ever read the book of Revelation? We see the Father and His Son alone receive worship throughout the book of Revelation. Shame on Adventists who claim to be preaching the three angels message without knowing the God we are commanded to fear, give glory to, and worship.

@@HL365 Sorry, but the two documents suggested to our reading are, like the doctrine of the Trinity, in total disagreement with E. G. White and all the pioneers. Just one example : Ellen White writes that when God said in the Bible "Let us make man in our image" it was God the Father talking to His Son Jesus. So the Adventist theologians of our days have totally rejected the truth held by E. G. White and all the pioneers, claiming that "the Lord guided this movement to a more biblical understanding of God. Today, based on the Bible, we affirm the truth of one God in a plurality of Persons." What a blatant admission of returning to the central doctrine of the Roman Catholic Church, Babylon!

The Trinity doctrine is the central doctrine of the First Beast....The beast does not know how to speak truth....100% of its doctrines are lies. Not one single doctrine of the Catholic Church is Biblically accurate. I challenge anyone to show me just one Truth? Everything it promotes is a lie. The adventist biblical research institute speaks abominations when it says Jesus is not the son of God. Quote: "There is no biblical support for the eternal generation of the Son from the Father. The Son came from God but was not generated by Him. Fifth, the father-son image cannot be literally applied to the divine Father-Son relationship within the Godhead. The Son is not the natural, literal Son of the Father. A natural child has a beginning, while within the Godhead the Son is eternal. The term “Son” is used metaphorically when applied to the Godhead. It conveys the ideas of distinction of persons within the Godhead and the equality of nature in the context of an eternal, loving relationship". So....When God said "this is my son".....He didn't actually mean what he said? When Christ said My Father Sent me....He didn't actually mean Father ? Read your Bible...Pray for wisdom and understanding.....don't drink from the whores cup....you will get drunk on her lies.

Can God lie? Psalms 89:34 My covenant will I not break, nor alter the thing that is gone out of my lips. Romans 3:4 God forbid: yea, let God be true, but every man a liar; as it is written, That thou mightest be justified in thy sayings, and mightest overcome when thou art judged. Titus 1:2 In hope of eternal life, which God, that cannot lie, promised before the world began;
What is the testimony of GOD THE FATHER? 1 John 5:9 If we receive the witness of men, the witness of God is greater: for this is the witness of God which he hath testified of his Son. 10 He that believeth on the Son of God hath the witness in himself: he that believeth not God hath made him a liar; because he believeth not the record that God gave of his Son. 11 And this is the record, that God hath given to us eternal life, and this life is in his Son. 12 He that hath the Son hath life; [and] he that hath not the Son of God hath not life. 13 These things have I written unto you that believe on the name of the Son of God; that ye may know that ye have eternal life, and that ye may believe on the name of the Son of God.
GOD THE FATHER said Jesus is His beloved Son. Matthew 3:17 And lo a voice from heaven, saying, this is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased. Matthew 17:5 While he yet spake, behold, a bright cloud overshadowed them: and behold a voice out of the cloud, which said, this is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased; hear ye him. Luke 9:35 And there came a voice out of the cloud, saying, This is my beloved Son: hear him. Romans 1:3 Concerning His Son Jesus Christ our Lord, which was made of the seed of David according to the flesh; 4 And declared [to be] the Son of God with power, according to the spirit of holiness, by the resurrection from the dead:
Jesus says that the testimony of the FATHER is true. John 5:31 If I bear witness of myself, my witness is not true. 32 There is another that beareth witness of me; and I know that the witness which he witnesseth of me is true. John 5:36 But I have greater witness than [that] of John: for the works which the Father hath given me to finish, the same works that I do, bear witness of me, that the Father hath sent me. 37 And the Father himself, which hath sent me, hath borne witness of me. Ye have neither heard his voice at any time, nor seen his shape.
King Nebuchadnezzar declared he saw the saw the Son of God. Daniel 3:25 He answered and said, Lo, I see four men loose, walking in the midst of the fire, and they have no hurt; and the form of the fourth is like the Son of God. 26 Then Nebuchadnezzar came near to the mouth of the burning fiery furnace, and spake, and said, Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, ye servants of the Most High God, come forth, and come hither. Then Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, came forth of the midst of the fire.
The apostles believed that Jesus was the Christ, the Son of God and they taught it. Matthew 14:33 Then they that were in the ship came and worshipped him, saying, Of a truth thou art the Son of God. Mark 8:29 And he saith unto them, But whom say ye that I am? And Peter answereth and saith unto him, Thou art the Christ. Luke 9:20 He said unto them, But whom say ye that I am? Peter answering said, The Christ of God. John 1:34 And I saw, and bare record that this is the Son of God. John 1:41 He first findeth his own brother Simon, and saith unto him, We have found the Messias, which is, being interpreted, the Christ. John 1:49 Nathanael answered and saith unto him, Rabbi, thou art the Son of God; thou art the King of Israel. John 6:67 Then said Jesus unto the twelve, Will ye also go away? 68 Then Simon Peter answered him, Lord, to whom shall we go? thou hast the words of eternal life. 69 And we believe and are sure that thou art that Christ, the Son of the living God. Peter had expressed the faith of the twelve. {DA 412.1} The truth which Peter had confessed is the foundation of the believer’s faith. {DA 412.3} Matthew 16:16 And Simon Peter answered and said, Thou art the Christ, the Son of the living God. Acts 9:20 And straightway he preached Christ in the synagogues, that he is the Son of God. John 4:29 Come, see a man, which told me all things that ever I did: is not this the Christ? John 4:42 And said unto the woman, Now we believe, not because of thy saying: for we have heard him ourselves, and know that this is indeed the Christ, the Saviour of the world. John 7:41 Others said, This is the Christ. But some said, Shall Christ come out of Galilee? 2 Corinthians 1:19 For the Son of God, Jesus Christ, who was preached among you by us, [even] by me and Silvanus and Timotheus, was not yea and nay, but in him was yea.
Martha believed that Jesus was the Son of God. John 11:25 Jesus said unto her, I am the resurrection, and the life: he that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live: 26 And whosoever liveth and believeth in me shall never die. Believest thou this? 27 She saith unto him, Yea, Lord: I believe that thou art the Christ, the Son of God, which should come into the world.
The eunuch was not hindered (prevented) to be baptized for he confessed and believed Jesus Christ as the Son of God. Acts 8:36 And as they went on [their] way, they came unto a certain water: and the eunuch said, See, [here is] water; what doth hinder me to be baptized? 37 And Philip said, If thou believest with all thine heart, thou mayest. And he answered and said, I believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God.
The fallen angels said Jesus was the Son of God. Matthew 8:29 And, behold, they cried out, saying, what have we to do with thee, Jesus, thou Son of God? art thou come hither to torment us before the time? Mark 3:11 And unclean spirits, when they saw him, fell down before him, and cried, saying, Thou art the Son of God. Mark 5:7 And cried with a loud voice, and said, what have I to do with thee, Jesus, [thou] Son of the most high God? I adjure thee by God, that thou torment me not. Luke 8:28 When he saw Jesus, he cried out, and fell down before him, and with a loud voice said, what have I to do with thee, Jesus, thou Son of God Most High? I beseech thee, torment me not. Luke 4:41 And devils also came out of many, crying out, and saying, Thou art Christ the Son of God. And he rebuking [them] suffered them not to speak: for they knew that he was Christ.
Satan tempted Jesus to prove that He was the Son of God. Matthew 4:3 And when the tempter came to him, he said, if thou be the Son of God, command that these stones be made bread. 6 And saith unto him, if thou be the Son of God, cast thyself down: for it is written, He shall give his angels charge concerning thee: and in their hands they shall bear thee up, lest at any time thou dash thy foot against a stone. Luke 4:3 And the devil said unto him, If thou be the Son of God, command this stone that it be made bread. 9 And he brought him to Jerusalem, and set him on a pinnacle of the temple, and said unto him, If thou be the Son of God, cast thyself down from hence:
Jesus taught that He was the Son of God. John 9:35 Jesus heard that they had cast him out; and when he had found him, he said unto him, Dost thou believe on the Son of God 36 He answered and said, Who is he, Lord, that I might believe on him? 37 And Jesus said unto him, Thou hast both seen him, and it is he that talketh with thee. 38 And he said, Lord, I believe. And he worshipped him. John 10:36 Say ye of him, whom the Father hath sanctified, and sent into the world, Thou blasphemest; because I said, I am the Son of God?
Jesus was crucified for His testimony that He was the Son of God. Matthew 27:40 And saying, thou that destroyest the temple, and buildest it in three days, save thyself. If thou be the Son of God, come down from the cross. 43 He trusted in God; let him deliver him now, if he will have him: for he said, I am the Son of God. Mark 14:61 But he held his peace, and answered nothing. Again, the high priest asked him, and said unto him, Art thou the Christ, the Son of the Blessed? 62 And Jesus said, I am: and ye shall see the Son of man sitting on the right hand of power, and coming in the clouds of heaven. 63 Then the high priest rent his clothes, and saith, What need we any further witnesses? 64 Ye have heard the blasphemy: what think ye? And they all condemned him to be guilty of death. Luke 22:66 And as soon as it was day, the elders of the people and the chief priests and the scribes came together, and led him into their council, saying, :67 Art thou the Christ? tell us. And he said unto them, If I tell you, ye will not believe: 68 And if I also ask [you], ye will not answer me, nor let [me] go. 69 Hereafter shall the Son of man sit on the right hand of the power of God. 70 Then said they all, Art thou then the Son of God? And he said unto them, Ye say that I am. 71 And they said, What need we any further witness? for we ourselves have heard of his own mouth. John 19:7 The Jews answered him, We have a law, and by our law he ought to die, because he made himself the Son of God.
Pastor, you are one of my favorite pastors. Your knowledge of the Bible and your emotion in calling for repentance touches my heart and many others I'm sure. You are correct in saying the Holy Spirit works in us. But I must disagree emphatically about a point you made. The Holy Sirit it is not a person of a pagan based trinity doctrine. Why do you think the trinity is referred to as a mystery? No where in the Bible is the word trinity, or third person, or triune used. Nowhere in the Bible is it shown we worship the Holy Spirit. If he is God, why not. We see the Son sitting with the Father in his throne and all things have passed into Christ' hands, given to him by the Father. But nowhere does the Word say the Spirit sits in a throne also. If we claim to believe in one God we would be correct, that is his Father, Jehovah. But nowhere does Jesus or the apostles teach that there is a 3 in one 1 God, nowhere. Matt. 28:19 you quoted is thought by many to be an added verse as it contradicts what is said later in acts. What you will find time after time is the Bible referencing God's spirit or the spirit of Christ. Our Bible says It was the spirit of God that moved across the face of the waters. King David prayed God would not take away HIS spirit. Job said, " The spirit of God hath made me, and the breath of the Almighty hath given me life." Job 33:4. Job was referring to the Father obviously. Christ said it was the Father who dwelled in him time and again. EG White talks about the in dwelling of the Father in Christ a number of times. The Spirit like you said is not an "it". It is the Father. This is the "HE" referred to by Christ. I would also add that many claim Christ never had a beginning as many trinitarians do, when he clearly stated he was begotten of the Father. This makes the Bible, and Christ, a liar. How can Christ be a son if he was from everlasting? Do you not know the pagan roots of the trinity? Please, look into it. Do you not know that the Catholic Church considers the doctrine of the trinity to be the basis for all their other beliefs? Sunday worship, idol worship, men forgiving sins, transubstantiation, Pope equal with God, etc., etc. We all agree this is anti-Christ. How then can a doctrine such as the trinity come from the Catholics and be acceptable to us? NONE of the founders of the SDA church subscribed to the doctrine of the trinity. Mrs. White came out of a trinitarian church. She did not go back. Mrs. White wrote, "The Father and the Son alone are to be exalted."{YI, July 7, 1898 par. 2} The original beliefs of the founders did not include trinitarianism. This came about only after their deaths and was greatly assisted by the likes of Leroy Froom. Pastor, you read the verse yourself, "...The spirit of truth proceeds from the Father." Again you said, " And grieve not the holy Spirit of God..." Eph. 4:30. And at the end of the verses you quoted in John 14, Christ said " I will not leave you comfortless: I will come to you." John 14:18 You left that verse out. And in Romans 8:27-28, that mind is Christ's. He is the one making intercession for us. Listen Pastor to what you are reading. To the law and to the testimony: if they speak not according to this word, it is because there is no light in them. Isa.8:20
Emperor Theodosius 380AD The Trinity Law "According to the dispiine of the apostles, and the doctrine of the Gospel, let us believe the sole deity of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Ghost, under an equal majesty and a pious Trinity. We authorise the followers of this doctrine to assume the title of Catholic Christians; and as we judge that all others are extravagant madmen, we brand them with the infamous name of Heretics, and declare that their conventicles shall no longer usurp the respectable appellation of churches. Besides the condemnation of Divine justice, they must expect to suffer the severe penalties, which our authority, guided by heavenly wisdom, shall think proper to inflict upon them.” When did Christ ever force our beliefs? Ye shall know them by their fruits. Matt.7:16
The doctrine of the Trinity which was established in the church by the council of Nice, a. d. 325. This doctrine destroys the personality of God, and his Son Jesus Christ our Lord. The infamous measures by which it was forced upon the church, which appear upon the pages of ecclesiastical history might well cause every believer in that doctrine to blush. J.N.Andrews The Three Angels of Revelation 14:6-12 1855 The doctrine that Jesus Christ the son of God was God the Son was decreed by worldly and ecclesiastical powers. Men were forced to accept it at the point of the sword or else. Thus, the error of the trinity was propounded to the end that ultimately people believed it to be the truth. Thus, Christianity became in essence like Babylonian heathenism, with only a thin layer of Christian names. victor paul wierwille forgers of the word 1983 What more was ever required by the papacy itself than that "the Christian religion" should be the national religion; that the discipline of the Church should be maintained by the civil power; that the religious test oath should be applied to all; that the public should be taxed for the support of religion and religious worship; that there should be required a belief in the doctrine of the Trinity, and the inspiration of the "Holy Scriptures of the Old and New Testament;" that the guilt of "blasphemy" should be visited upon everyone who should speak or act "in contempt of the religion professed by almost the whole community;" and that everybody should be required by law to observe Sunday? Indeed, what more than this could be required or even desired by the most absolute religious despotism that could be imagined? A.T. Jones Ecclessiastical Empire P.837-838
That which we have seen and heard declare we unto you, that ye also may have fellowship with us: and truly our fellowship is with the Father, and with his Son Jesus Christ. And these things write we unto you, that your joy may be full. 1John 1:3-4 Where is the Holy Spirit mentioned? I say this to you not to discourage you all. But to show you a small part of what I have learned these last few months. Know that God speaks to those he loves. He loves you. No, I am not saying I am God, of course not. But if I am wrong show me thru the Word. If I am not wrong, then perhaps God is speaking to you now. Will you hear him? Will you follow the lamb wherever he leads no matter what?
@@racketyjack You are totally right! Myself born in an Adventist home, son of a SDA pastor, two years ago I've understood the truth about the only true God and his only begotten Son Jesus. The book of Revelation and all the writings of the apostles in the New Testament show only 2 Beings God the Father and his Son Jesus! Let's keep the Faith of Jesus which is the Testimony of the Spirit. (by the way I'm 56 years old)
@@astronome92 Thank you brother for your kind words. Been Adventist myself over 35 years now and a local elder. God bless and hold the faith. Satan's delusions are deep and insidious.
“Since the sin of our first parents there has been no direct communication between God and man. The Father has given the world into the hands of Christ, that through His mediatorial work He may redeem man and vindicate the authority and holiness of the law of God. 👉🏼All the communion between heaven and the fallen race has been through Christ.” PP 366.1 Does this anul the Spirit? No, because it is through the agency of His Spirit that Jesus communicates with us. 1 Corinthians 2:11 (KJV) For what man knoweth the things of a man, save the spirit of man 👉🏼which is in him? 👈🏼even so the things of God knoweth no man, but the Spirit of God. Proverbs 20:27 (KJV) The spirit of man 👉🏼is the candle 👈🏼of the LORD, searching all the inward parts of the belly. The spirit of a person is a manifestation of who they are. Even so is Christ’s Spirit. The problem I see with Pastor Finley, and now Wohlberg is that they are hard pressed to have an impartial view on this teaching. And I think most of us should understand that and pray for them. They may have found themselves fighting against God.
Sister White says ,i saw the personal JESUS and i ask Him, Lord is the Father had a figure like you? then the Lord answered yes He has but no one can able to see Him, alive,, but there is no personality of the holy spirit there on the throne of the God, because the Holy Spirit is the Presence and the Mind and the power , of the invisible eternal Father,,
I love the Lord; far be it from me that I should reject the wonderful gift (Jesus Christ) from the great God (the Father). To be honest this idea of the holy spirit being the third person of the Godhead completely crashes to nothingness when tested against Scripture without personal opinions or tradition involved. This topic of the Godhead is one of the gems from the Word of God that requires digging deep to get it. Some truths can be easily understood by just surface reading of the bible, but others require patient, diligent searching of the bible. O may the God that brought us out of the land of bondage help us. Amen.
Amen 🙏 and praise God there and those who have not bowed the knee to another god… God bless you and help us make it through this time do the shaking ❤❤❤

KJV Revelation 22:1-3 1 And he shewed me a pure river of water of life, clear as crystal, proceeding out of the throne of God and of the Lamb. 2 In the midst of the street of it, and on either side of the river, was there the tree of life, which bare twelve manner of fruits, and yielded her fruit every month: and the leaves of the tree were for the healing of the nations. 3 And there shall be no more curse: but the throne of God and of the Lamb shall be in it; and his servants shall serve him: Where is your god the holy spirit?? Elohim is plural ... meaning more than one, two The Father and The Lamb. The Spirit is of The Father and His Son Jesus Christ.
Agreed. Although, Elohim is a plurality of majesty. Moses was elohim. Ex 7:1 Even The city of Nineveh was elohim. Jonah 3:3. There were no 2 Moses's. There were no 2 Nineveh's. They both were one and only one. Amen?
"And the Spirit and the bride say, Come. And let him that heareth say, Come. And let him that is athirst come. And whosoever will, let him take the water of life freely." Revelation 22:17 The Spirit is distinct from the Father and Jesus. Please read this: www.adventistbiblicalresearch.org/materials/the-holy-spirit-and-the-godhead/
Granted...It can be. When God chooses for his Spirit to be distinct. God depicts his Spirit as a gift FROM God. His Spirit does not become so distinct that God or his Son actually speak to it. The bible confirms this in that there is no record of conversation between 'god the spirit' and God himself. And did Jesus ever talk with this third person? Why is there not one account of it in the Holy writ? Have you asked yourself this plain question? And if God's spirit was a separate person as Hope 365 puts forth, then why doesn't sister White ever write of this 'god the spirit'? @@HL365

@@canadiancontrarian3668 As a student of Hebrew, I can tell you that the "plural of majesty" explanation is just one of multiple theories. Another credible theory is that the word "elohim" was a loanword from Aramaic, and as the usage in Aramaic was always for plural gods, the Hebrews adopted this plural form and just added singular verbs and adjectives to it when referencing the true God. No one can be certain of the full etymology of this word, for it is lost to history. However, I have come to understand its usage based on the Bible (Hebrew) alone. Hebrew uses "elohim" to reference people (Psalm 82:6, quoted by Jesus in John 10:34), angels (Psalm 8:5, quoted in Hebrews 2:7 as "anggelos" in Greek), judges (various texts in Deuteronomy), and, of course, the false gods (when the adjectives or verbs for this noun are plural). Whenever the word refers to the true God, it is always used in the grammatical singular context. Hebrew has many words that we term "plurale tantum." This means that they are _always_ plural in form, but this does not mean they are plural in construction. For example, these words in Hebrew have only plural forms, and there is no singular form for them: heavens/skies, waters, faces, entrails, etc. If they are used to reference a singular entity, their verbs or adjectives, which must always agree in number with the noun, will be singular. The rule students learn is: "The adjective never lies." In six years of Hebrew studies, I've not seen this rule ever broken. Some think "el" is the singular form of "elohim," but this is mistaken. The word "el," usually translated as "mighty one" (e.g. Isaiah 30:29), has its own plural form "elim" (see e.g. Daniel 11:36). It is a separate word. Further, the words "elahin" (Aramaic form), "eloha" (some say is a name of a false god), "elohenu" (includes pronominal suffix to mean "our God"), "elohai" (in construct state to create genitive relationship with subsequent noun, e.g. "God of Israel"), etc. all have good explanations that distinguish them from each other. The simple and undeniable fact remains, as a thorn in the flesh to those wishing to believe in the Trinity: the Hebrew language gives no support for any plurality within the true God. The Ten Commandments clearly say not to have any god(s) before ME (masculine singular pronominal suffix), and Jesus affirms the "one God" doctrine as being the _first_ commandment: "And Jesus answered him, The first of all the commandments is, Hear, O Israel; The Lord our God is one Lord:" (Mark 12:29) It should go without saying that these words for God in Greek are all singular!

EG White, JE White and WC White all agreed that there are only TWO BEINGS and NOT three “Only one being in the universe besides the Father bears the name of God, and that is His Son, Jesus Christ.” JE White, The Coming King, p. 33 "Christ, the Word, the only begotten of God, was one with the eternal Father-one in nature, in character, in purpose-THE ONLY BEING that could enter into all the counsels and purposes of God." EG White PP34.1 “The statements and the arguments of some of our ministers in their effort to prove that the Holy Spirit is an individual as are God the Father and Christ, the eternal Son, have perplexed me and sometimes they have made me sad.” (W. C. White to H. W. Carr, letter, April 30th1935) ONLY TWO BEINGS? The Holy Spirit, the third person of the Godhead, the Spirit of Christ IS THE PERSON of Christ, He being physically in heaven is also present with us through His own spiritual manifestation. He would represent Himself by His Spirit, not the spirit of another being. “Cumbered with humanity, Christ could not be in every place personally; therefore it was altogether for their advantage that He should leave them, go to His Father, and send the Holy Spirit to be His successor on earth. The Holy Spirit is (Christ) Himself, divested of the personality of humanity, and independent thereof. He would represent Himself as present in all places by His Holy Spirit, as the Omnipresent. 10LtMs, Lt 119, 1895, par. 18 “We want the Holy Spirit, which is Jesus Christ. If we commune with God, we shall have strength and grace and efficiency.” 9LtMs, Lt 66, 1894, par. 18
@@HL365 We receive the Holy Spirit through the ministration of Holy angels. When we receive the Spirit of God, it is not a being that is brought to us by these ministering angels, but the words that comes from the mind of God. Jhn 6:63. God and Christ are in Heaven physically, they work through their Spirit here on earth. "To Adam in his innocence was granted communion, direct, free, and happy, with his Maker. After his transgression, God would communicate to man ONLY THROUGH CHRIST AND ANGELS, ST January 30, 1879, par.19 The Father communicate ONLY through CHRIST and ANGELS! Where is the third being in ONLY through Christ and Angels. “The angelic agencies are messengers from heaven, actually ascending and descending, keeping earth in constant connection with the heaven above. These angel messengers are observing all our course of action. They are ready to help all in their weakness, guarding all from moral and physical danger according to the providence of God. And whenever souls yield to the softening, subduing influence of the Spirit of God under these angel ministrations, there is joy in heaven; the Lord Himself rejoices with singing.” 14LtMs, Lt 116, 1899, par. 13 God’s Spirit is exactly that, God’s Spirit and not another being referred to as “God the Spirit”. An unbiblical phrase, and an extra God that is worshiped and in doing so you break the first commandment. I truly hope you wake up from your deception, that is also leading others astray. I Pray : Eph 1:17 That the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give unto you the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of him:

Thank you Pastor Mark God bless you always for your ministry, and I pray dat God will keep strengthening you and help us to surrender to d voice of d Holy Spirit IJNA 🙏 But please Pastor I prefer you using d KJV of d Bible, thank you Sir 😊🙏
The Trinity is the central doctrine of the Catholic church. The Holy Spirit is the Spirit of God, nit a third person. It is called the Holy Spirit because God is Holy. The Holy Spirit is the mind, or presence of God. Psalm 51:11 helps to confirm this. Along with many other verses.
And no need of making mention the HOLY SPIRIT to give praise and honor , but only to reverend as what you did to the eternal FATHER, and do not mock His acts and works and moves , and this the way you reverend HIM because the Holy Spirit is IN THE FATHER, COZ THAT IS HIS MIND,,,THE PRESENCE,,,, AND HIS POWER,
What I've taken away from this is that you think the holy spirit is a person because the bible says he's the third person of the god head and he's referred to as "he" a lot. The problem is that the holy spirit doesn't seem to have a character in the way that persons do and that seems like a real issue because he's the one it seems like we're supposed to be able to have the most first hand dealings with. Also, force can absolutely guide you. That's literally how compasses work. This is pretty difficult because the bible is already written poetically and this can be just a poetic way of talking about a force. I'm sure this is heretical, but I almost think the holy spirt could just be the consciousness that resides in people. You know when you're lying. You know that when you're not lying, you're not speaking from your own authority, but from what you've heard, which is going to be what you honestly believe is true if you're taking everything you've heard into consideration. It makes a whole lot more sense in the light of the understanding of angels, archangels, demon, devils, etc. that I believe is presented in "Malleus Maleficarum", which is essentially that they exist as components or sets of components of the human mind; they're the internal things that drive you and the thinking tools you've developed over you're life. The holy spirit could be the observer, the I, the tiny fragment of divinity in the midst of the angels and demons that cannot truly deceive itself. That makes more sense to me than anything else I've heard about what the holy spirit is.
The Holy Spirit certainly has the characteristics of a person. He can be grieved (Eph. 4:31,32). Holy Spirit can be lied to (Acts 5:3,4). A force cannot be grieved or lied to. You seem to think that the Holy Spirit is a consciousness that resides in us. The problem with your thought is that Holy Spirit is God and to say that the Holy Spirit is the consciousness that resides in us means that we are all gods. The Holy Spirit is a divine person. If you'd like to talk more about it, please email us at info@Hopelives365.com and we'd be glad to talk to you about it.
@@HL365 Forces can easily be grieved or lied to if you're speaking poetically: The tide grieved the loss of some ship that got raised from the ocean. There have been mornings when I lied to the rotation of the Earth in a vain attempt to hold an angel just a little longer. The last one almost sounds like something Lord Byron Lovelace would say. I don't think it's supposed to be a force, I'm just pointing out that this argument is weak. It's possible that it could be better supported if you looked at the Greek and/or Hebrew words, but I really doubt it's going to look clearer. You say that we would all be gods if the holy spirit is the consciousness that resides in all of us, but am I a tiny piece of skin at the tip of one of my fingers? For a time, I experience things through that tiny piece of skin, but it can be cut off and turned into parts of bugs, plants, and molds that I aren't me, even while I'm still alive. What am I? Am I the personality and character associated with this body or am I the the thing that experiences being the personality and character associated with this body. The thing that experiences doesn't really have anything to do with what you would call me. It's just temporarily experiencing what it's like to be what you would call me in the moments when this body is in a physical state that allows what you would call me to exist. You're saying that the holy spirit is a divine person as if it conflicts with what I'm saying, but I honestly don't think it does unless you define things ways that would make the holy spirit something that obviously does not exist. I'm interested i talking more with you about this, but I would rather keep it public because I don't like situations where con-men isolate their victims and tell them conflicting things to keep everybody giving them money. I'm not saying that's surely you, but I'm very skeptical that it's possible to be involved in a modern Christian ministry and not be a con-man or actually insane. I hope it's possible, but I'm skeptical.
Jesus give me grace and endurance this Christmas. As a single mother my number one priority, are my sons. Both of them are autistic so they require a lot from me. God give me strength as I struggle to provide for them. My faith in you is still strong!

1 Corinthians 8:5,6
For even if there are so-called gods, whether in heaven or on earth (as indeed there are many 'gods' and many 'lords'). Yet for us there is but one God, the Father, from whom all things came and for whom we live; and there is but one Lord, Jesus Christ, through whom all things came and through whom we live.
Amen! 🙏 praise God there are many of those who understand and worship the one true God and understand this by studying the word of God deeply with an open mind and not just taking the word of a man / video / sermon but rather by studying the subject … including the history of our pioneers who were led by the spirit to understand that there is not a 3rd person ❤❤❤

@@HL365 how do you really infer the trinity doctrine from 2 Corinthians 13:14? FYI, Just as Mat 28:19 and 1 John 5:7, the verse just alludes to the existence of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit and nothing else. All those three verses don't tell us (they are silent) about the nature of the relationship between the three or even whether they are all beings or co-equal, co-eternal and co-whatever as the trinity doctrine claims. Should we then conclude that the earth, the spirit, and the water are all beings and co-equal since they are mentioned simultaneously in one verse in 1 John 5:8? Do you realise that 1 Cor 13:14 says that our fellowship is with the Holy Spirit yet 1 John 1:3 says that our fellowship is with the Father and the Son? These two verses are not contradicting but rather let us know that the Father and the Son fellowship with us by their Spirit not by a different third being called the Holy Spirit!
I suggest that in our efforts to understand the God we worship, we should employ verses that are crystal clear and then use those verse to interprete those that are somehow vague or silent. Verses like John 17:3, 1 Cor 8:6, Rev 5:13, Rev 21:22, 1 Cor 11:3, 1 Cor 15:27-28 among others are very explicit on who is worshipped as the God of the bible i.e. The Father and His literally begotten Son Jesus Christ. You see that If we understood these clear verses very well, we can easily use them to understand the other verses that are somehow silent or vague.

Brethren, please note that Dr William Johnsson (an Australian Seventh-day Adventist theologian, author, and editor of the Adventist Review from 1982 to 2006) wrote the following:
‘Adventists beliefs have changed over the years under the impact of ‘present truth’. Most startling is the teaching regarding Jesus Christ, our Saviour and Lord … the Trinitarian understanding of God, now part of our fundamental beliefs, was not generally held by early Adventists’.
(William Johnsson, Adventist Review, 6th January 1994, Article: ‘Present Truth - Walking in God’s Light’).

@@HL365 No, thank you. I will read the Bible instead.
Remember also, Saints, early Adventists were Sunday keepers. The devil had worked long to bury fundamental truths about hell, state of the dead, Sabbath, the Holy Spirit, etc. It is through this movement that truths have been resurrected. Is it a wonder that Jesus said the only sin that can not be forgiven is blasphemy of the Holy Ghost? Praise God!
@@HL365The link itself is full of falsehood,early edventist never had fundamental beliefs but principals which aknowledged Godhead and not the catechism third god of trinity. The Bible is very clear that there is only one God and one Lord Jesus Christ if the holy spirit was a third person,it would be god the holy spirit but in the bible it's the holy spirit of Go,so how can your spirit be a different person from you,this is pure lie.
Early pioneers of the church had differing thoughts on many things. It took time to work those things out. Ellen White never used the word Trinity and stayed away from the many differing positions on it. She used the Godhead which we should do since it is endorsed by scripture and SOP>
Pastor Mark, I would like some clarification on Matthew 28:19, that you read at 33:15 in your video, the text that you put up on the screen was from the KJV. But when you quoted it you change the wording to “in the name of the Father and in the name of the Son and in the name of the Holy Spirit”, which is not how the text reads. As I look back in history according to Eusebius the original reading of Matthew 28:19 was as follows, “with one word and one voice He said to His disciples: Go, and make disciples of all nations in My name, teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you,” this was changed in the 4th century during the time of the council of Nicaea. It was at that time that a number of new doctrines were brought into the church and the Roman Catholic was being established. It’s interesting that all Baptisms in the book of Act were done in the name of Jesus or of the Lord but not once in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit. In your sermon you changed the wording to include “the name”, of in front of the Son and the Holy Spirit. I have to ask you if it wouldn’t serve your purpose better if you change Matthew 28:19 to read “in the name of God the Father and in the name of God the Son and in the name of God the Holy Spirit”, but in so doing we have violated scripture by adding to or taking away from God’s word. If you do that you could establish the Trinity Doctrine.
I for one will not grieve the Holy Spirit of God and of Christ by giving it to another!

Very well said, Bernie. The disciples' example should plainly establish that there is only one name under heaven by which we are saved, and it was in that name only that they baptized. If the disciples were pastors today, they would be defrocked for not baptizing "correctly." They never invoked the Father or Holy Spirit while baptizing.
"Father" is not a name. What is the Father's name? "Son" is not a name. What is the son's name? Trinitarians cannot give the Father's name. But Jesus told us what it was--see John 5:43:
"I am come in my Father's name, and ye receive me not: if another shall come in his own name, him ye will receive." (John 5:43)
Jesus' name was the Father's name. We should already know this from Isaiah 9:6 which said that his _name_ would be called everlasting Father and mighty God, etc. Many miss the fact that "name" is not synonymous with _being._
There is nothing and again I say nothing like three co-existing equal person's,this is pure lie..The bible is very clear that there is but only one God the Father,and one son Jesus Christ. The holy spirit is the spirit of God not a person but the power of God. Remember God is omnipresent,He is omnipresent through His convicting power that is His spirit.
Years ago I was driving north on the M1. I was in the car by myself. A voice near my the left ear. In a man's voice, whom I never recognised to me to get out of that lane. I was surprised but carried on. Again the voice told me to get out of that lane, but this time more louder and in a determined voice. This time I listened. I thought it was my guardian angel. I'm starting to wonder that it might have been the Holy Spirit. Thank you who ever you are. Much love and blessings ❤️🙏❤️✝️❤

Why does Mark Finley stand in front of a phoenix mural?
And by doing so, what is he attempting to communicate?
The phoenix bird symbolizes immortality, and life after death.
In Egyptian religions it is associated with the sun god.
How is it and why is it that a Christian preacher would have behind him an 'image of Idolatry'?
Good point
Indeed, I was pondering over the very same subliminal message. They commissionned an artist who rendered the very sentiment of power that they wanted to convey, except that in God's word and in the Spirit of Prophecy writings, the holy Spirit came down in a shape likened to a dove over Christ to show Christ's meekness and submission to His Father, and in small tongues of fire over the disciples at pentecost to show the distribution of this gift to all. The Spirit of God, His presence, His glory is not to be and cannot be depicted, particularly with such "horrible" images that would well fit in a "Marvel" movie!
We should really meditate on the second commandment and draw our conclusions as to what we can depict with our extraordinary tools and talents!
Yes, although that particular mural?... IS the 'phoenix'. Please do go and investigate.
It just tells me plainly that even though he purportedly preaches Bible? his allegiance is elsewhere. He pays homage to the god behind the phoenix.

Entire book of Revelations clearly show Jesus speaking and acting as the Spirit to the church is including laodicea our church. He is the Holy Spirit. John's vision shows there are only two thrones in heaven which all fhe universe bows down to. It is Satan trying to inject himself into the Godhead via the pagan unknown 3rd god. Is the Holy Spirit a person? Absolutely, it is Jesus Christ, the same Spirit from God. There's only one mediator comforter and helper to us that's Jesus Christ our Lord.

In Greek, spirit is a masculine word, so is referred to a "he". For example in Mark 9:18 the dumb spirit is referred to as "he". This does not mean the dumb spirit is a person. See also Matt12:43-45 where "he" is used 5 times concerning spirit. In English a ship is called "she". It does not mean that the ship is a person.

“I will pray the Father, and He shall give you another Comforter, that He may abide with you for ever; even the Spirit of truth; whom the world cannot receive, because it seeth Him not, neither knoweth Him: but ye know Him, for He dwelleth with you, and shall be in you” [John 14:16, 17]. This refers to the omnipresence of the Spirit of Christ, called the Comforter. Again Jesus says, “I have yet many things to say unto you, but ye cannot bear them now. Howbeit when He, the Spirit of truth is come, He will guide you into all truth” [John 16:12, 13].

Ellen White didn’t know Greek or Hebrew yet God through His Holy Spirit revealed what His remnant church needs in this last days of earth history. The Bible says God the Father, the Everlasting God and His Son the Begotten who is God but dropped this privilege to come and die on the cross for us. Ted Wilson himself has said he can’t defend this triune thing why do you force this doctrine on us, secondly as happened in 1888 why wouldn’t the General Conference bring all together, pray over this and let’s see how God will direct us

Thank you Pastor Mark, Happy Sabbath Evening Everyone 😊
Hope you had a good Sabbath.
Paraklete is also used in I John 2:1 and is Advocate, and it is Jesus.
“And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you *another Comforter* that *he* may abide with you for ever;”
Yes.
The following verses also use “another”; did the “man” or “heart” actually become a different distinct “man” or “heart” compared to the original?
1 Sam10:6 Then the Spirit of the Lord will come upon you, and you will prophesy with them and be turned into another man…
9 So it was, when he had turned his back to go from Samuel, that God gave him another heart; and all those signs came to pass that day.
ANOTHER COMFORTER IDENTIFIED
Illeism: the practice of talking about oneself in the third person, rather than the first person. google
Some examples of Jesus talking about himself in the third person are given below:
Mat 25:31 When the Son of man shall come in his glory, and all the holy angels with him, then shall he sit upon the throne of his glory:
Mar 8:38 Whosoever therefore shall be ashamed of me and of my words in this adulterous and sinful generation; of him also shall the Son of man be ashamed, when he cometh in the glory of his Father with the holy angels.
Joh 14:16-20 And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you ANOTHER COMFORTER, that he may abide with you for ever; 17 Even the Spirit of truth; whom the world cannot receive, because it seeth him not, neither knoweth him: but ye know him; for he dwelleth with you, and shall be in you. 18 I WILL NOT LEAVE YOU COMFORTLESS I WILL COME TO YOU. 19 Yet a little while, and the world seeth me no more; but ye see me: because I live, ye shall live also. 20 At that day ye shall know that I am in my Father, and ye in me, and I in you.
The “ANOTHER COMFORTER” is identified by Jesus in the following verses:
In verse 17 “ another comforter” is identified as “the Spirit of truth”. Who is the “spirit of truth?”
1Co 15:45 … the last Adam (Christ) was made a quickening spirit.
Here the Bible describes Jesus as a spirit
In John 14:6 Jesus is said to be the truth. Joh 14:6 Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.
Jesus IS the Spirit of truth!
Also in verse 17 Jesus continues to identify “another comforter”: but ye know him; for he dwelleth with you (this he said in the present tense), and shall be in you. (future tense read on)
He told the disciples in verse 18 I WILL NOT LEAVE YOU COMFORTLESS, I WILL COME TO YOU.
And then in verse 20 said: At that day ye shall know that I am in my Father, and ye in me, and I in you .
Col 1:27 To whom God would make known what is the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles; which is Christ in you, the hope of glory:
When Jesus promised “another comforter”, that meant that they were already in the presence of A COMFORTER. Who was the comforter that was with the disciples? It was the Son of God in human form. So who is the “ANOTHER COMFORTER” that Jesus promised to send? The answer is, it’s Jesus in His omnipresent form.
“It is not essential for you to know and be able to define just what the Holy Spirit is. Christ tells us that the Holy Spirit is the Comforter, and the Comforter is the Holy Ghost, "the Spirit of truth, which the Father shall send in My name." "I will pray the Father, and He shall give you another Comforter, that He may abide with you for ever; even the Spirit of truth; whom the world cannot receive, because it seeth Him not, neither knoweth Him: but ye know Him, for He dwelleth with you, and shall be in you" [John 14:16, 17]. This refers to the omnipresence of the Spirit of Christ, called the Comforter. Again Jesus says, "I have yet many things to say unto you, but ye cannot bear them now. Howbeit when He, the Spirit of truth is come, He will guide you into all truth"” [John 16:12, 13]. {14MR 179.2}
“Cumbered with humanity, Christ could not be in every place personally; therefore it was altogether for their advantage that He should leave them, go to His father, and send the Holy Spirit to be His successor on earth. The Holy Spirit is Himself divested of the personality of humanity and independent thereof. He would represent Himself as present in all places by His Holy Spirit, as the Omnipresent. "But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in My name, He shall (although unseen by you), teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you" [John 14:26]. "Nevertheless I tell you the truth; It is expedient for you that I go away: for if I go not away, the Comforter will come not unto you; but if I depart, I will send Him unto you" [John 16:7]. {14MR 23.3}
Joh 4:24 God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth.
Joh 20:22 And when he had said this, he breathed on them, and saith unto them, Receive ye the Holy Ghost (HOLY SPIRIT):
Think it through; when Jesus breathed on them did he breathe the third person of the Godhead on the assembly or did He give them His power or influence?
Act 20:28 Take heed therefore unto yourselves, and to all the flock, over the which the Holy Ghost hath made you overseers, to feed the church of God, which he hath purchased with his own blood.
Did the Holy Ghost shed his blood for us or was it Christ?
1Co 6:19 What? know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own?
Col 1:27 To whom God would make known what is the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles; which is Christ in you, the hope of glory:
Joh 15:26 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:

Pastor Finley, according to Scriptures and SOP there are only two divine beings: the Father and the Son, and not three. And concerning the Holy Spirit the Scriptures tell us that it is the Spirit of the Father and of the Son, and not a separate being from the Father and the Son. (Please study John 14:1, 17:3, 1 Corinthians 8:6, 2 Corinthians 3:17, Galatians 4:6 and 1 John 2:22.)
According to the Bible and the Writings of Ellen White, there are three persons.

Why is Mark talking about the Spirit of God as another being and person? Doesn't God have these attributes? Or do we make God into an unknown, unpersonal God? The Spirit of God, comes to the true believer now as the Spirit of Christ.
Because Jesus himself referred to the Holy Spirit as another comforter.

@NamelessUsers what you are teaching is closer to the Catholic trinity. The SDA fundamental belief #2 is biblical. Don't take Jesus words out of context. Jesus breathing on the disciples for them to receive the Holy Spirit does not prove that the Holy Spirit is just a force or an impersonal power or presence. Study the weight of evidence. The Holy Spirit speaks, directs, guides, has feelings, can be grieved, is called God, is referred to as He and Him over 20 times in John 14-16, is referred to as a person, has a mind and a will, can be blasphemed and is eternal. He is a separate divine person from Christ and the Father. The weight of evidence supports that and so does the SOP. Three living persons of the heavenly trio.

Ellen White said that the Holy Spirit is the Spirit of the Father and His Son! There is only one God, one Son of God and their Holy Spirit! No where does the Bible say that there is 3 Gods! Jesus said that He is the Comforter. You cannot prove that the Holy Spirit is God from the Bible or EW writings.
One can easily prove from the Bible and the writings of Ellen White that the Holy Spirit is the third person of the Godhead if one is open to look at the evidence suspending their bias. We are not saying there are three gods. We are saying there are one God who are three in persons.
The Bible is not confusing, one God in three persons like 1+1+1=1 that’s confusing
I don't understand why there is a big fuss and objection about making the Holy Spirit 'another God', a third God' when you clearly believe that Jesus is 'another God' or 'second God'? Why can you not believe the simple truth that there is one God but in three persons as clearly stated by the Bible and Sp of Pr?

@@megh5870 Jesus was clearly given divinity and power was clearly given him in the Bible. It does still not make him the very PERSON of God, but would you be ok if God said let it be so for his son ? If the Bible clearly says that he gave this to his Only Begotten Son?
God Himself is a Holy Spirit John 4:24, and never in the scripture mentioning "God the Holy Spirit.
John 14:18 Christ says "I will not leave you comfortless, I will come to you." Jesus christ comes to dwell with His people by His Spirit, because He is also a Spirit like God the Father. John 4:24.
The scripture is so clear on this issue. John 15 reveals that Jesus Christ Himself is dwelling or abiding with His people by His Holy Spirit.
Even Apostle Paul did mention that God sent the Spirit of His Son into the hearts of His people. Galatians 4:6
It is Jesus Christ Himself (through His Holy Spirit) that " stands and knocks.on the door ( the door of our hearts) for entrance because He wants to dwell with His people. Revelation 3:20.
Therefore, the Holy Spirit is none other than God Himself as in John 4:24.
Please read this: www.amazingfacts.org/media-library/book/e/77/t/the-trinity
I am still not convinced. All power and authority is given to Jesus Christ both in heaven and in earth to carry out His Father's will. Christ is our saviour, our mediator, our advocate, our judge, yes He is our everything. It is Christ that dwells with His people.
I still could not discover the scripture of another 3rd person, called "God the Holy Spirit". The Bible only reveals the Holy Spirit as God Himself (The Spirit of God). This Spirit is the very life of God, the scripture refers to it as a "quickening spirit" or the spirit of life.
This is the very life of God, which He also gave to His Son, Jesus Christ to have life in Himself. John 5:26
Christ, when He created a human being (Adam) breathed into his nostrils this "breath of life" or the spirit, and man become a living soul. Similarly also when Christ poured out the Holy Spirit onto His disciples, He breathed on them. John 20:22
Some would like to believe that "God" and "Lord" are synonyms. This is how they attempt to harmonize 1 Corinthians 8:6 with their Trinity dogma, for it says: "But to us there is but one God, the Father, of whom are all things, and we in him; and one Lord Jesus Christ, by whom are all things, and we by him." However, a comparison of Matthew 22:32 with Romans 14:9 should lay to rest any notion of God = Lord. Consider the evidence for yourselves.
"I am the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob? God is not the God of the dead, but of the living." (Matthew 22:32)
"For to this end Christ both died, and rose, and revived, that he might be Lord both of the dead and living." (Romans 14:9)
God is not the God of the dead, but Christ is Lord of the dead. The Bible teaches plainly that there is a distinction between these terms, and they are not the same being. (Remember, Ellen White says "God is a being.").
In fact, the "and" in Greek ("kai"), can be used to separate between two separate entities, as it does in 1 Corinthians 8:6. Had the writer wished to equate them, a separate, more poetic conjunction, could have been used or added, which is "te" in Greek. Putting the two words together, i.e. "τε καὶ", creates an expression which places the two things on a level with each other--and this is often translated as "both." But the Father is not _both_ our God and our Lord, nor is Jesus _both_ our Lord and our God. The father is "the only true God" (John 17:3), and Jesus is our Lord.
The apostles denied the trinity,@Acts, 5:28-32, Jehovah rose Jesus from the dead,v, 32,, and we are Jesus'witnesses of these things, and so, is the Holy spirit, which God given to those who obey him as a ruler, so, if the holy spirit is one person, how can it be given to many believers? Paul also stated @Romans,10:9, If you have faith in your heart that Jehovah rose Jesus from the dead , you will be saved, , so, its not Jesus rose himself, @Mat, 10:26-28/Deut, 32:39/1st,Sam, 2:6-7/2nd,Kings,5:7.
Jesus says in John 10:18, "No one takes it from me, but I lay it down of my own accord. I have authority to lay it down, and I have authority to take it up again. This charge I have received from my Father.”"

What about Rev.17:5, SDA's say the mother is the RCC and the harlots are daughters that follow her teachings, but are NOT SDA's a daughter too, keeping the pagan teachings of the RCC? "Christianity didn't destroy paganism, it adopted it" by Will Durant.
Personification is used on the Holy Spirit, it is NOT a person.

Another is if you believe the Trinity is biblical, then why do Roman Catholics teach their Trinity did not come from the Bible and cannot be fully understood? "In scripture there is as yet no single term by which the Three Divine Persons are denoted together...The Vatican Council has explained the meaning attributed to the term mystery in theology. It lays down that a mystery is a truth which we are not merely incapable of discovering apart from Divine Revelation, but which, even when revealed, remains "hidden by the veil of faith and enveloped, so to speak, by a kind of darkness" (Const., "De fide. cath.", iv) (Joyce G.H. The Blessed Trinity. The Catholic Encyclopedia, volume XV Copyright 1912 by Robert Appleton Company Online Edition Copyright 2003 by K. Knight).
Protestants say... "It is indeed true that the name "Trinity" is nowhere to be found in the Holy Scriptures, but has been conceived and invented by man." - (Luther Martin. The Sermons of Martin Luther, Church Postil, 1522; III: 406-421, PC Study Bible formatted electronic database Copyright 2003, 2006 by Biblesoft, Inc. All rights reserved.)
Also the doctrine of the (1John 4:3)Anti-Christ denies Jesus truly came in the flesh (John 1:14). Catholics and Protestants teach that Jesus was 'fully human and fully God, so they reject that Jesus emptied Himself of His divinity (Phil.2:7), thus they deny Jesus truly came in the flesh.
Your position on the Holy Spirit is incorrect. Your view is dangerous, may you prayerfully and humbly ask the Spirit of truth to guide you into all truth
Matthew 12:31-32
”“Therefore I say to you, every sin and blasphemy will be forgiven men, but the blasphemy against the Spirit will not be forgiven men. Anyone who speaks a word against the Son of Man, it will be forgiven him; but whoever speaks against the Holy Spirit, it will not be forgiven him, either in this age or in the age to come.“
@@ericfolks1503 How do you know my position is incorrect? How do you know that God didn't guide me into His truth? I think you should (James 1:5)ask God, you would know that you have the false concept, NOT me. I have God's Spirit, I know good from evil (Heb.5:14) and I was (2Tim.1:9)called out of SDA Church (Babylon Confusion) from God long ago and called into His true Church (Eph.5:27). Another is why did you NOT answer my 1st question; did you NOT see it? That's what happens is because people are brainwashed in their own ideas, they are blinded to see what the Bible actually says. I feel you don't understand and don't want to know the truth because you want to stand on a concept that is based on falsehood. Please open your eyes and ask God to show you His truth.
Another is why do you think SDA is correct when they got the concept from the RCC? Oh I forgot people think RCC is true, NOT false! Why does the majority (Matt.7:13) want to follow RCC: the Beast of Revelation? SDA say the RCC is false, but I guess they don't really believe it like other scriptures that say it's false. RCC is the corrupt tree, for a corrupt tree cannot produce forth good fruit (Matt.7:18) and it states in 1John 2:4 that those that don't keep the commandments, there is no truth in him; did you get that? What about Rev.17:5, maybe people want to ignore this one too, that the RCC has daughter churches that follow 1 or more of her teachings, SDA Church is a daughter, it has many doctrines that are false, of which several came from the RCC.
Rev 19:10 Then I fell down at his feet to worship him, but he said to me, “You must not do that! I am a fellow servant with you and your brothers who hold to the testimony of Jesus. Worship God.” For the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy.
Amen.
God sent HIS Spirit (totally under HIS divine control!) and it became operative on Samson" ( Judges 15:14 ) Yes many times, God's Spirit and power are linked! ( Eph 3:16). All creation is the result of "If you send forth YOUR SPIRIT they are created "(Psalm 104:30). Then there is the comparison with 'water' 'wine' e.t.c and then too God 'distributes His spirit' He 'pours it out'! a PERSON! Give me a break

Very good Biblical references.
And how about Luke chapter 11?
Jesus depicts the Spirit as 'food' that his Father gives to us.
And what of Numbers 11?
The chapter gives proper instruction as to what the Spirit of God is.
God removes a portion of His Spirit from Moses and then divides it among the elders.
So then, according to Pastor Mark, God splinters up and fragments the person of 'god the spirit'??
I am quite sorry to hear of Pastor Finley's misappropriation of God's Spirit.
Mark's doctrine is at variance to the said chapter of Numbers 11.
Right?
"And this IS eternal life that you KNOW the ONE true God and Jesus Christ whom He has sent." John 17:3. There is NO other.
SDAs may not be aware that the official written statement of the Adventist church claims that 'Jesus is NOT the natural, literal Son of God,' per the Bible Research Institute. Why? Because if you believe in the trinity doctrine, it also claims that Christ, the Son of God was never begotten from God the Father. The gospel is plain simple and literal. But the Pharisees of this day have twisted truth a child can understand using human philosophy and their own satanic doctrine. If you think how Christians vehemently defend the literal creation by God of man and woman when it comes to society's debate of human identity, yet fail to stand on the simple Bible truth of God, Jesus' God and Father, sent Christ to save us. Where is the love and power of the Gospel if it is all role-playing and metaphors?
Thanks for your comment. Unfortunately you are mistaken. Yes, Jesus is not the natural, literal son of God. I'd encourage you to look at the original greek word. You’d find that the word often translated as begotten in the Bible is not a good translation of the Greek word. The Greek word literally means one and only unique one. It simply means Jesus is unique. In fact, he is unique because in His incarnation, He is fully God and fully man.
Jesus cannot be the Holy Spirit because He prayed for another comforter.

Pastor Mark Finely, I enjoy listening to your sermons, but I have to say that you left out the most important information which is found in the Bible,
There is specific bible verses that addresses Pharisees accusing Jesus of performing miracles through the power of Satan and the warning about blasphemy against the Holy Spirit can be found in Matthew 12:22-32 (ESV):
**Accusation by Pharisees:**
Matthew 12:22-24:
"Then a demon-oppressed man who was blind and mute was brought to him, and he healed him, so that the man spoke and saw. And all the people were amazed, and said, 'Can this be the Son of David?' But when the Pharisees heard it, they said, 'It is only by Beelzebul, the prince of demons, that this man casts out demons.'"
**Jesus' Response and Warning:**
Matthew 12:25-32:
"Knowing their thoughts, he said to them, 'Every kingdom divided against itself is laid waste, and no city or house divided against itself will stand. And if Satan casts out Satan, he is divided against himself. How then will his kingdom stand?...But if it is by the Spirit of God that I cast out demons, then the kingdom of God has come upon you... Therefore I tell you, every sin and blasphemy will be forgiven people, but the blasphemy against the Spirit will not be forgiven.'"
These passages emphasize the seriousness of attributing the work of the Holy Spirit to evil forces and the associated warning against blasphemy.
Thanks for sharing these Bible verses.

Pastor Finley, the third person of the Godhead is not a being like the God the Father and Jesus the Son of the Living God, the Father.. The Holy Spirit is the person of God the Father and His literal Son Jesus Christ (Romans 8:9,10,11)....After a person accepted Christ as his personal savior, Christ through His Holy Spirit dwells in him ..for only through the righteousness of Christ will a converted person be justified and saved for eternity..
Matt 20.18 for where 2 or 3 gather together in my name, I'm there in there in the midst of them.......here Jesus is speaking. Question. how can Jesus be in the midst when he is the high priest in mediation locked inside in heavenly temple 🛕.? He is not supposed to come out physically until the harvest time or second advent...therefore by omnipresent spirit or holy spirit Jesus is amongst our midst.
You already know he's lying when he misrepresents and lies about the correct BIBLICAL view and beliefs of those he's opposing. Just the fact that the Holy Spirit is of God and Christ makes the Spirit all powerful. Not a nameless god. It is the unpardonable sin because if you knowingly reject truth in the Bible that the Spirit is from God and even EG White states that Christ Is the Holy Spirit, then how can Christ save you?

NO! The CUP was NOT all the physical and emotional suffering which awaited Jesus! It was not the beating and turning away of his people and his mother and the crown of thorns... none of all these! Many martyrs endured ALL of these and did not ask this cup of suffering be removed from them!
For Jesus, the CUP was the bearing of the SINS of the whole world! He was to be separated from His Father because of that CUP bringing the real death to him, not just the sleep of the first death ... and THAT was unbearable to him!
But Jesus said ... I will drink it nevertheless, because THY will be done, O Father!
But praise be to God! The Innocent one could not be held by death! The sins were not his, they could not be held against Him ... They stayed at the entrance of death and could not retain him under its power! God, the Father, the only true God RAISED his beloved, innocent, self-sacrificed Son! And Jesus came out from death to life with our HOPE: I am the resurrection and the life!
Let us believe in the only true God and in His only begotten Son, the divine Son, Jesus! Amen!

Who would be the four highest beings in Heaven before the fall of man (before sin) if the Holy Spirit was a third co-equal being as per the Trinity doctrine? It would be the Father, Son, Holy Spirit and Lucifer. Who is it that wants to be like the most High and be worshipped and prayed to as God? (Isaiah 14:12-14) What if the Holy Spirit was not a third literal being. Who would then be the third highest being? Lucifer! So if the Holy Spirit is not a third literal being, a separate God, then who would be answering our prayers if we prayed to the “Spirit”? Who would be setting himself up as a third “God” worthy of praise and worship? Has Satan succeeded in accomplishing his goal of being included as a deity? If we now believe the Holy Spirit can be worshipped and prayed to just like the Father and the Son, who actually receives our worship? If the Holy Spirit is not a third being then whose spirit would we have according to our belief and who would we be giving our adoration to? For Adventists: Before sin - “Among the inhabitants of heaven, Satan, next to Christ, was at one time most honored of God, and highest in power and glory.” - (E.G. White, ST, July 23, 1902) The Spirit of Prophecy confirms that Satan did use to be the third highest being in Heaven. Not a third being called the Holy Spirit as the Trinity doctrine claims. Since the trinity doctrine claims Jesus is also the one God, an Adventist author from the 1800's wrote, “To believe that doctrine, when reading the scripture we must believe that God sent Himself into the world, died to reconcile the world to Himself, raised Himself from the dead, ascended to Himself in heaven, pleads before Himself in heaven to reconcile the world to Himself, and is the only mediator between man and Himself… We must believe also that in the garden God prayed to Himself, if it were possible, to let the cup pass from Himself, and a thousand other such absurdities.” - (J.N. Loughborough)

Pastor Mark, you said the HS have a name, what’s the name? The HS is the presence of Jesus that dwell in our hearts. He “Jesus “
can’t dwell with us while He’s in heaven. So He send His Spirit , the comforter to reach us. It’s not another man. By saying the HS is a person like the Father and the Sun , you are denying that GOD. Is the father of Jesus . Mathew 1:18 before they came together, she was found with child of the Holy Ghost. V:20 Joseph, thou son of David, fear not to take unto thee Mary thy wife: for that which is conceived in her is of the Holy Ghost. pastor Mark are you telling me that The Holy Ghost is another being different from the Spirit of GOD?
Min 35:14 - Pr. Mark reffers to the Holy Spirit as "it".
Yet he emphasised that the Spirit is a person because he is called "he" mor ethan 10 times in John 16.
Yet the Pr. Is correct when calles the Spirit "it". For in Romans 8:16, 8:26 we find epression like " The Spirit ITSELF ". and 1 Pet 1:11 says "it" too referring to the Spirit.
Desire of Ages that he's read in Page 805.3 also says "it" about H.S. And the author of the book repeats that countless times including her other best seller book The Great Controversy .
If you keep referring to the H.S as an "it" its because youve read your bible. You see if you just read your bible without being aware of this trinitarian Controversy you'll just find your using "it" for the HS effortlessly, without thinking much about it and without feeling that its wrong.
Truth is you can use both "He" and "it" for the the Holy Spirit. Both are Biblical.
Question is can you call the Father or the Son it? If not then there muat be something different about the Holy Spirit's personality. Thnk about it.
The grammatical gender of the word for “Spirit,” Gr. pneuma, is neuter. Consequently, the pronoun “itself” must likewise be neuter in the Greek. When the Holy Spirit is referred to by the masculine name paraklētos, “Comforter,” the masculine pronoun is used (see John 15:26; 16:7, 13). It is obvious that the personality of the Holy Spirit cannot be argued by the gender of the pronouns that may be used
Francis D. Nichol, ed., The Seventh-Day Adventist Bible Commentary, vol. 6 (Review and Herald Publishing Association, 1980), 568.
Amen.
And what is sadly overlooked with respect to the 'he' is that it is Christ speaking, as he does extensively... in the third person.
Some examples, and there are many more examples...
'For the bread of God is HE which cometh down from heaven, and giveth life unto the world.' John 6:33
'For God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in HIM should not perish.' John 3:16
'When the Son of man shall come in HIS glory, and all the holy angels with HIM, then shall HE sit upon the throne of HIS glory: and before HIM shall be gathered all nations.' Matt 25:31
So then.
If Pastor Mark insists that the Comforter is some person other than Christ, then in all fairness, is not also the bread of life and the Son of man?
A Year ago I listened to a sermon about the Holy Spirit from P. Mark Finley, and was Rebaptized in Washington State. PTL

False teaching brother
Though the spirit is being portrayed as an influence and power - this does not change the fact that he is a separate being
Three Ellen White quotes on the identity of the Holy Spirit: "Cumbered with humanity, Christ could not be in every place personally; therefore it was altogether for their advantage that He should leave them, go to His father, and send the Holy Spirit to be His successor on earth. The Holy Spirit is Himself divested of the personality of humanity and independent thereof. He would represent Himself as present in all places by His Holy Spirit, as the Omnipresent." (Ellen G. White, 14MR 23.3, 1895). "We want the Holy Spirit, which is Jesus Christ." (E. White, Letter 66, April 10, 1894, par.17-18). “The Holy Spirit is the SPIRIT of CHRIST; it is HIS REPRESENTATIVE. Here is the divine agency that carries conviction to hearts. When the power of His Spirit is revealed through the servants of God, we behold divinity flashing through humanity.” - (E.G. White, 13MR 313.3, 1895)

Manuscript Releases, vol. 14 [Nos. 1081-1135], p. 179.2 (Ellen Gould White) “I will pray the Father, and He shall give you another Comforter, that He may abide with you for ever; even the Spirit of truth; whom the world cannot receive, because it seeth Him not, neither knoweth Him: but ye know Him, for He dwelleth with you, and shall be in you” [John 14:16, 17]. This refers to the omnipresence of the Spirit of Christ, called the Comforter. Again Jesus says, “I have yet many things to say unto you, but ye cannot bear them now. Howbeit when He, the Spirit of truth is come, He will guide you into all truth” [John 16:12, 13].

Romans 8:26,34
”Likewise the Spirit also helps in our weaknesses. For we do not know what we should pray for as we ought, but the Spirit Himself makes intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered. Who is he who condemns? It is Christ who died, and furthermore is also risen, who is even at the right hand of God, who also makes intercession for us.“
So the Holy Spirit makes intercession, meaning He intercedes with our prayers. And verse 34 says that Christ ALSO makes intercession 🤔
Acts 5:3-4
”But Peter said, “Ananias, why has Satan filled your heart to lie to the Holy Spirit and keep back part of the price of the land for yourself? While it remained, was it not your own? And after it was sold, was it not in your own control? Why have you conceived this thing in your heart? You have not lied to men but to God.”“
🤷♂️
Pastor, in Your prayer you said "...May Your Spirit.." who's Spirit do you mean? God's Spirit or Holy Spirit's Spirit? It's confusing!
As Adventists we believe that the Scripture teaches that the Holy Spirit is the third person of the godhead. He is a just a person as the Father and son are. He is a separate person yet, along with the Father and the son, He has worked in creation and is working in the salvation and redemption of man.
Often times the Holy Spirit is referred to as God’s Spirit or like Pastor Mark mentioned in the prayer, but this doesn’t mean that the Holy Spirit is not a separate person. Jesus said that I and my Father are one. But that doesn’t mean that Jesus is the Father. He is a separate person.

In creation Genesis Ch. 1 . It says “…the Spirit of God” not the third person of Godhead, however meaning God’s Spirit.

He keeps tripping up on his own words disproving his own claim. Yes Jesus as a man could not send His Spirit until he ascended to heaven and was glorified. Recall in the Bible he breathed the Holy Spirit on the disciples as a taste of what He would do.

Dear Pastor Mark,
The Lord used you many years ago to bring me to Christ. My life has been forever changed and I am grateful for that.
As I watched your video I came away very saddened. It seemed to me that the main take away is that if someone does not believe that the Holy Spirit is the third person that makes up the one God, if they believe that the Holy Spirit is anything other than that, and if they don’t give up that belief and repent and accept the Holy Spirit as the third person of the Godhead (Trinity), that eventually they will grieve away the Holy Spirit and commit the unpardonable sin. This is a serious position to take. This leads to condemnation and ultimately judging ones salvation.
Also, it appears that you have a misunderstanding of what the vast majority of those who don’t believe that the Holy Spirit is a person separate from the Father and Son, really believe. The the Holy Spirit is just what the Bible says the “Spirit of God” not a force.
My husband and I were disfellowshiped and shunned over this doctrine not because of anything we had done, but because of fear of what we might say or do. My husband and I are of the older generation and was not baptized when the church believed God was a Trinity. We were not taught that God is a Trinity as it was long before 1981 when the churches fundamental belief was changed and officially voted in at the GC session.
I thank you for the years of dedication in bringing souls to Christ. Now I ask that you prayerfully inquire of God if your message in that video was according to His will.
I send this with love and concern for you are my brother in Christ even if we don’t believe the same on this issue.
May God bless.
Please email us at info@hopelives365.com and we would be very glad to provide you with biblical evidences that the doctrine of Trinity is Biblical, Adventist's historical understanding the Holy Spirit, and that the Holy Spirit is the Third Person of the Godhead and not just Christ's or the Father's Spirit.
Amen
Thank you for your testimony and reply to this video. I was also saddened, because I detected sleight of hand and subtle manipulation of God's people. Pastor Mark's target is not those Christians who believe the Holy Spirit is just a power or influence, but Adventists who reject the doctrine of the Trinity. The proof of that is in the reply from @HL365, claiming that the third person of the Godhead is not "just Christ's or the Father's Spirit." The "just" suggests that the omnipresence of Christ or the Father also lacks omnipotence and omniscience, and They need the help of another being to accomplish it. This eviscerates the false premise that we believe it is just a power or influence and reveals what we actually believe= the "Spirit of God" is a person. The spiritual presence of Christ is Christ, and Christ is a person! If I remember correctly, Pastor Mark claimed that the "third person" showed up 10 times by the word "He" in John 16 alone. Jesus is a He! The term "third person" is not found in the Bible at all, contrary to what Pastor Mark said. The term "third person" originates in the writings of Ellen White, so you must allow her to define what she means. I find it hard to believe that when quoting Desire of Ages pages 671 regarding the "third person of the Godhead", that the last sentence of that paragraph that tells who that third person is, is not repeatedly and PURPOSEFULLY left out= "Christ has given HIS Spirit as a divine power...". Withholding information or telling only what you want people to see is deception. The other covert message is a warning about heresy and even coming close to committing the unpardonable sin. To say it plainly, if I don't believe the Holy Spirit is "a being" separate from the Father and Son, then that is heresy, which makes me a heretic. I would warn that consistent rejection of truth is not the only definition of the unpardonable sin. It is also attributing the work of God's Spirit to be the work of Satan. If God, by His Spirit, is bringing about a revival of primitive godliness and returning Adventists to the pillars and landmarks of our faith, and you account this as heresy= the work of Satan, then who is in danger of committing the unpardonable sin? It is an indisputable fact that by the test Pastor Mark has suggested in this sermon, the founding fathers of the Adventist faith believed in heresy, for they did not believe in the Trinity or a triune God. They believed heresy according to Pastor Mark's own words and definition. "That most of the leading SDA pioneers were non-Trinitarian" is "accepted Adventist history... either the pioneers were wrong and the present church is right, or the pioneers were right and the present Seventh-day Adventist Church has apostatized from biblical truth." (J. Moon, The Trinity, 190). In other words, either the pioneers believed in heresy, or the Church has apostatized and now believes heresy. There is no mingling of darkness with light when it comes to truth. I am asking for a personal response from Pastor Mark to explain his reasoning and intentions. Is it possible, that like the Jew's in Christ's day, in protecting the institution of the organized Church, Christ is once again being rejected= the "Spirit of Christ" is rejected for "another"?

What a disgrace. He damn well knows the truth. Even the RCC does not bother with defending Trinity doctrine which is the foundation of their beliefs and simply call it a mystery because it's completely unbiblical and utter nonsense. Revelations couldn't be any clearer when it reveals which beings are worshiped in heaven on God's throne. There is God the Father, and Jesus the Son of God. Period. To attribute God's and Christ's mighty Spirit to an unknown false god is the sin. Jesus is the way the truth and the LIFE. Why would we then need another? He sent his spirit to us after he returned to heaven. Only Christ can mediate only Christ can comfort only Christ can give life.

And the angels had to be commanded to worship Jesus--see Hebrews 1:6. This command would have been unnecessary if he had been God, for surely the angels would have known who Jesus was! But God has shared His glory and honor with the Son.
The RCC introduced this trinitarian belief into the church in 325 AD at the First Council of Nicea. Prior to this time, none of God's people embraced this mystical concept. The RCC know it's not biblical. Constantine settled the debate for the church by embracing this new mystical belief of a trinity. Additionally, at this council, he also removed several books from the bible. I would encourage everyone to search for yourselves by asking the question, "What happened at the 1st council of Nicea in 325 AD? Study to show yourselves approved unto God and God alone, the only Potentate. When I read the word "He" in reference to the Holy Spirit, I've learned that the "He" refers to the gender of the source of the Spirit. The gender is masculine, God is a He. No need for debate. As I said, study for yourself. It's sad that we quickly say that some things are a mystery when we don't understand something, nor search out the deep things of God for ourselves. We readily receive what the learned men teach us. And that's okay if we have searched to find out whether or not what they say are true, and find them to be true. 1 Corinthians 2:10 - These are the things God has revealed to us by his Spirit. The Spirit searches all things, even the deep things of God. (A study of this verse alone, outside of what we've been taught, would give many a deeper understanding of spirit.) Again, 2 Timothy 2:15
Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth. SELAH!
Show me one place in the bible where the so-called third person of the Godhead "god the holy spirit" sits on a throne and receives worship. Have you ever read the book of Revelation? We see the Father and His Son alone receive worship throughout the book of Revelation. Shame on Adventists who claim to be preaching the three angels message without knowing the God we are commanded to fear, give glory to, and worship.

@@HL365 Sorry, but the two documents suggested to our reading are, like the doctrine of the Trinity, in total disagreement with E. G. White and all the pioneers. Just one example : Ellen White writes that when God said in the Bible "Let us make man in our image" it was God the Father talking to His Son Jesus. So the Adventist theologians of our days have totally rejected the truth held by E. G. White and all the pioneers, claiming that "the Lord guided this movement to a more biblical understanding of God. Today, based on the Bible, we affirm the truth of one God in a plurality of Persons." What a blatant admission of returning to the central doctrine of the Roman Catholic Church, Babylon!
Please read this to know what Ellen White actually said about the Holy Spirit: www.ministrymagazine.org/archive/2012/04/ellen-white-and-the-personhood-of-the-holy-spirit
If you have further questions, please email us at info@Hopelives365.com, and we would be glad to talk to you about it.
The Trinity doctrine is the central doctrine of the First Beast....The beast does not know how to speak truth....100% of its doctrines are lies. Not one single doctrine of the Catholic Church is Biblically accurate. I challenge anyone to show me just one Truth? Everything it promotes is a lie.
The adventist biblical research institute speaks abominations when it says Jesus is not the son of God. Quote: "There is no biblical support for the eternal generation of the Son from the Father. The Son came from God but was not generated by Him. Fifth, the father-son image cannot be literally applied to the divine Father-Son relationship within the Godhead. The Son is not the natural, literal Son of the Father. A natural child has a beginning, while within the Godhead the Son is eternal. The term “Son” is used metaphorically when applied to the Godhead. It conveys the ideas of distinction of persons within the Godhead and the equality of nature in the context of an eternal, loving relationship".
So....When God said "this is my son".....He didn't actually mean what he said? When Christ said My Father Sent me....He didn't actually mean Father ? Read your Bible...Pray for wisdom and understanding.....don't drink from the whores cup....you will get drunk on her lies.
Thank brother. We cannot follow devised fables of Jesuits. Trinity is deception! Sda Church itself admits it was never held by the early SDA Pioneers.

Luke 4:3 And the devil said unto him, If thou be the Son of God, command this stone that it be made bread. 9 And he brought him to Jerusalem, and set him on a pinnacle of the temple, and said unto him, If thou be the Son of God, cast thyself down from hence:
Jesus taught that He was the Son of God.
John 9:35 Jesus heard that they had cast him out; and when he had found him, he said unto him, Dost thou believe on the Son of God 36 He answered and said, Who is he, Lord, that I might believe on him? 37 And Jesus said unto him, Thou hast both seen him, and it is he that talketh with thee. 38 And he said, Lord, I believe.

Holy Spirit is vital for our wellbeing for our relationship to our Lord. Holy Spirit convicts, comforts, guides, and teaches us in the way of truth.
Amen. Thanks for watching. May God bless you.
Pastor, you are one of my favorite pastors. Your knowledge of the Bible and your emotion in calling for repentance touches my heart and many others I'm sure. You are correct in saying the Holy Spirit works in us. But I must disagree emphatically about a point you made. The Holy Sirit it is not a person of a pagan based trinity doctrine. Why do you think the trinity is referred to as a mystery? No where in the Bible is the word trinity, or third person, or triune used. Nowhere in the Bible is it shown we worship the Holy Spirit. If he is God, why not. We see the Son sitting with the Father in his throne and all things have passed into Christ' hands, given to him by the Father. But nowhere does the Word say the Spirit sits in a throne also. If we claim to believe in one God we would be correct, that is his Father, Jehovah. But nowhere does Jesus or the apostles teach that there is a 3 in one 1 God, nowhere. Matt. 28:19 you quoted is thought by many to be an added verse as it contradicts what is said later in acts. What you will find time after time is the Bible referencing God's spirit or the spirit of Christ. Our Bible says It was the spirit of God that moved across the face of the waters. King David prayed God would not take away HIS spirit. Job said, " The spirit of God hath made me, and the breath of the Almighty hath given me life." Job 33:4. Job was referring to the Father obviously. Christ said it was the Father who dwelled in him time and again. EG White talks about the in dwelling of the Father in Christ a number of times. The Spirit like you said is not an "it". It is the Father. This is the "HE" referred to by Christ.
I would also add that many claim Christ never had a beginning as many trinitarians do, when he clearly stated he was begotten of the Father. This makes the Bible, and Christ, a liar. How can Christ be a son if he was from everlasting? Do you not know the pagan roots of the trinity? Please, look into it. Do you not know that the Catholic Church considers the doctrine of the trinity to be the basis for all their other beliefs? Sunday worship, idol worship, men forgiving sins, transubstantiation, Pope equal with God, etc., etc. We all agree this is anti-Christ. How then can a doctrine such as the trinity come from the Catholics and be acceptable to us? NONE of the founders of the SDA church subscribed to the doctrine of the trinity. Mrs. White came out of a trinitarian church. She did not go back. Mrs. White wrote, "The Father and the Son alone are to be exalted."{YI, July 7, 1898 par. 2} The original beliefs of the founders did not include trinitarianism. This came about only after their deaths and was greatly assisted by the likes of Leroy Froom.
Pastor, you read the verse yourself, "...The spirit of truth proceeds from the Father." Again you said, " And grieve not the holy Spirit of God..." Eph. 4:30. And at the end of the verses you quoted in John 14, Christ said " I will not leave you comfortless: I will come to you." John 14:18 You left that verse out. And in Romans 8:27-28, that mind is Christ's. He is the one making intercession for us. Listen Pastor to what you are reading.
To the law and to the testimony: if they speak not according to this word, it is because there is no light in them. Isa.8:20
Emperor Theodosius 380AD The Trinity Law
"According to the dispiine of the apostles, and the doctrine of the Gospel, let us believe the sole deity of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Ghost, under an equal majesty and a pious Trinity. We authorise the followers of this doctrine to assume the title of Catholic Christians; and as we judge that all others are extravagant madmen, we brand them with the infamous name of Heretics, and declare that their conventicles shall no longer usurp the respectable appellation of churches. Besides the condemnation of Divine justice, they must expect to suffer the severe penalties, which our authority, guided by heavenly wisdom, shall think proper to inflict upon them.”
When did Christ ever force our beliefs? Ye shall know them by their fruits. Matt.7:16
The doctrine of the Trinity which was established in the church by the council of Nice, a. d. 325. This doctrine destroys the personality of God, and his Son Jesus Christ our Lord. The infamous measures by which it was forced upon the church, which appear upon the pages of ecclesiastical history might well cause every believer in that doctrine to blush. J.N.Andrews The Three Angels of Revelation 14:6-12 1855
The doctrine that Jesus Christ the son of God was God the Son was decreed by worldly and
ecclesiastical powers. Men were forced to accept it at the point of the sword or else. Thus, the
error of the trinity was propounded to the end that ultimately people believed it to be the truth.
Thus, Christianity became in essence like Babylonian heathenism, with only a thin layer of
Christian names. victor paul wierwille forgers of the word 1983
What more was ever required by the papacy itself than that "the Christian religion" should be the national religion; that the discipline of the Church should be maintained by the civil power; that the religious test oath should be applied to all; that the public should be taxed for the support of religion and religious worship; that there should be required a belief in the doctrine of the Trinity, and the inspiration of the "Holy Scriptures of the Old and New Testament;" that the guilt of "blasphemy" should be visited upon everyone who should speak or act "in contempt of the religion professed by almost the whole community;" and that everybody should be required by law to observe Sunday? Indeed, what more than this could be required or even desired by the most absolute religious despotism that could be imagined? A.T. Jones Ecclessiastical Empire P.837-838
That which we have seen and heard declare we unto you, that ye also may have fellowship with us: and truly our fellowship is with the Father, and with his Son Jesus Christ. And these things write we unto you, that your joy may be full. 1John 1:3-4 Where is the Holy Spirit mentioned? I say this to you not to discourage you all. But to show you a small part of what I have learned these last few months. Know that God speaks to those he loves. He loves you. No, I am not saying I am God, of course not. But if I am wrong show me thru the Word. If I am not wrong, then perhaps God is speaking to you now. Will you hear him? Will you follow the lamb wherever he leads no matter what?
@@racketyjack You are totally right! Myself born in an Adventist home, son of a SDA pastor, two years ago I've understood the truth about the only true God and his only begotten Son Jesus. The book of Revelation and all the writings of the apostles in the New Testament show only 2 Beings God the Father and his Son Jesus! Let's keep the Faith of Jesus which is the Testimony of the Spirit. (by the way I'm 56 years old)
@@astronome92 Thank you brother for your kind words. Been Adventist myself over 35 years now and a local elder. God bless and hold the faith. Satan's delusions are deep and insidious.
“Since the sin of our first parents there has been no direct communication between God and man. The Father has given the world into the hands of Christ, that through His mediatorial work He may redeem man and vindicate the authority and holiness of the law of God. 👉🏼All the communion between heaven and the fallen race has been through Christ.” PP 366.1
Does this anul the Spirit? No, because it is through the agency of His Spirit that Jesus communicates with us.
1 Corinthians 2:11 (KJV)
For what man knoweth the things of a man, save the spirit of man 👉🏼which is in him? 👈🏼even so the things of God knoweth no man, but the Spirit of God.
Proverbs 20:27 (KJV)
The spirit of man 👉🏼is the candle 👈🏼of the LORD, searching all the inward parts of the belly.
The spirit of a person is a manifestation of who they are. Even so is Christ’s Spirit.
The problem I see with Pastor Finley, and now Wohlberg is that they are hard pressed to have an impartial view on this teaching. And I think most of us should understand that and pray for them. They may have found themselves fighting against God.
Amen.
Amen 😩😥😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
Sister White says ,i saw the personal JESUS and i ask Him, Lord is the Father had a figure like you? then the Lord answered yes He has but no one can able to see Him, alive,, but there is no personality of the holy spirit there on the throne of the God, because the Holy Spirit is the Presence and the Mind and the power , of the invisible eternal Father,,

I love the Lord; far be it from me that I should reject the wonderful gift (Jesus Christ) from the great God (the Father).
To be honest this idea of the holy spirit being the third person of the Godhead completely crashes to nothingness when tested against Scripture without personal opinions or tradition involved.
This topic of the Godhead is one of the gems from the Word of God that requires digging deep to get it.
Some truths can be easily understood by just surface reading of the bible, but others require patient, diligent searching of the bible.
O may the God that brought us out of the land of bondage help us. Amen.

KJV Revelation 22:1-3
1 And he shewed me a pure river of water of life, clear as crystal, proceeding out of the throne of God and of the Lamb.
2 In the midst of the street of it, and on either side of the river, was there the tree of life, which bare twelve manner of fruits, and yielded her fruit every month: and the leaves of the tree were for the healing of the nations.
3 And there shall be no more curse: but the throne of God and of the Lamb shall be in it; and his servants shall serve him:
Where is your god the holy spirit??
Elohim is plural
... meaning more than one, two The Father and The Lamb.
The Spirit is of The Father and His Son Jesus Christ.
Agreed.
Although, Elohim is a plurality of majesty.
Moses was elohim. Ex 7:1
Even The city of Nineveh was elohim. Jonah 3:3.
There were no 2 Moses's. There were no 2 Nineveh's.
They both were one and only one.
Amen?
"And the Spirit and the bride say, Come. And let him that heareth say, Come. And let him that is athirst come. And whosoever will, let him take the water of life freely." Revelation 22:17
The Spirit is distinct from the Father and Jesus. Please read this: www.adventistbiblicalresearch.org/materials/the-holy-spirit-and-the-godhead/
Granted...It can be. When God chooses for his Spirit to be distinct. God depicts his Spirit as a gift FROM God. His Spirit does not become so distinct that God or his Son actually speak to it. The bible confirms this in that there is no record of conversation between 'god the spirit' and God himself. And did Jesus ever talk with this third person?
Why is there not one account of it in the Holy writ? Have you asked yourself this plain question?
And if God's spirit was a separate person as Hope 365 puts forth, then why doesn't sister White ever write of this 'god the spirit'?

@@canadiancontrarian3668 As a student of Hebrew, I can tell you that the "plural of majesty" explanation is just one of multiple theories. Another credible theory is that the word "elohim" was a loanword from Aramaic, and as the usage in Aramaic was always for plural gods, the Hebrews adopted this plural form and just added singular verbs and adjectives to it when referencing the true God. No one can be certain of the full etymology of this word, for it is lost to history. However, I have come to understand its usage based on the Bible (Hebrew) alone. Hebrew uses "elohim" to reference people (Psalm 82:6, quoted by Jesus in John 10:34), angels (Psalm 8:5, quoted in Hebrews 2:7 as "anggelos" in Greek), judges (various texts in Deuteronomy), and, of course, the false gods (when the adjectives or verbs for this noun are plural). Whenever the word refers to the true God, it is always used in the grammatical singular context.
Hebrew has many words that we term "plurale tantum." This means that they are _always_ plural in form, but this does not mean they are plural in construction. For example, these words in Hebrew have only plural forms, and there is no singular form for them: heavens/skies, waters, faces, entrails, etc. If they are used to reference a singular entity, their verbs or adjectives, which must always agree in number with the noun, will be singular. The rule students learn is: "The adjective never lies." In six years of Hebrew studies, I've not seen this rule ever broken. Some think "el" is the singular form of "elohim," but this is mistaken. The word "el," usually translated as "mighty one" (e.g. Isaiah 30:29), has its own plural form "elim" (see e.g. Daniel 11:36). It is a separate word. Further, the words "elahin" (Aramaic form), "eloha" (some say is a name of a false god), "elohenu" (includes pronominal suffix to mean "our God"), "elohai" (in construct state to create genitive relationship with subsequent noun, e.g. "God of Israel"), etc. all have good explanations that distinguish them from each other.
The simple and undeniable fact remains, as a thorn in the flesh to those wishing to believe in the Trinity: the Hebrew language gives no support for any plurality within the true God. The Ten Commandments clearly say not to have any god(s) before ME (masculine singular pronominal suffix), and Jesus affirms the "one God" doctrine as being the _first_ commandment:
"And Jesus answered him, The first of all the commandments is, Hear, O Israel; The Lord our God is one Lord:" (Mark 12:29)
It should go without saying that these words for God in Greek are all singular!

EG White, JE White and WC White all agreed that there are only TWO BEINGS and NOT three
“Only one being in the universe besides the Father bears the name of God, and that is His Son, Jesus Christ.” JE White, The Coming King, p. 33
"Christ, the Word, the only begotten of God, was one with the eternal Father-one in nature, in character, in purpose-THE ONLY BEING that could enter into all the counsels and purposes of God." EG White PP34.1
“The statements and the arguments of some of our ministers in their effort to prove that the Holy Spirit is an individual as are God the Father and Christ, the eternal Son, have perplexed me and sometimes they have made me sad.” (W. C. White to H. W. Carr, letter, April 30th1935)
ONLY TWO BEINGS?
The Holy Spirit, the third person of the Godhead, the Spirit of Christ IS THE PERSON of Christ, He being physically in heaven is also present with us through His own spiritual manifestation. He would represent Himself by His Spirit, not the spirit of another being.
“Cumbered with humanity, Christ could not be in every place personally; therefore it was altogether for their advantage that He should leave them, go to His Father, and send the Holy Spirit to be His successor on earth. The Holy Spirit is (Christ) Himself, divested of the personality of humanity, and independent thereof. He would represent Himself as present in all places by His Holy Spirit, as the Omnipresent. 10LtMs, Lt 119, 1895, par. 18
“We want the Holy Spirit, which is Jesus Christ. If we commune with God, we shall have strength and grace and efficiency.” 9LtMs, Lt 66, 1894, par. 18

@@HL365 Any biblical references or SOP references, to prove a Trinity? I prefer divine inspiration above human philosophy.
@@HL365 We receive the Holy Spirit through the ministration of Holy angels.
When we receive the Spirit of God, it is not a being that is brought to us by these ministering angels, but the words that comes from the mind of God. Jhn 6:63.
God and Christ are in Heaven physically, they work through their Spirit here on earth.
"To Adam in his innocence was granted communion, direct, free, and happy, with his Maker. After his transgression, God would communicate to man ONLY THROUGH CHRIST AND ANGELS, ST January 30, 1879, par.19
The Father communicate ONLY through CHRIST and ANGELS! Where is the third being in ONLY through Christ and Angels.
“The angelic agencies are messengers from heaven, actually ascending and descending, keeping earth in constant connection with the heaven above. These angel messengers are observing all our course of action. They are ready to help all in their weakness, guarding all from moral and physical danger according to the providence of God. And whenever souls yield to the softening, subduing influence of the Spirit of God under these angel ministrations, there is joy in heaven; the Lord Himself rejoices with singing.” 14LtMs, Lt 116, 1899, par. 13
God’s Spirit is exactly that, God’s Spirit and not another being referred to as “God the Spirit”. An unbiblical phrase, and an extra God that is worshiped and in doing so you break the first commandment.
I truly hope you wake up from your deception, that is also leading others astray.
I Pray :
Eph 1:17 That the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give unto you the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of him:

Thank you Pastor Mark God bless you always for your ministry, and I pray dat God will keep strengthening you and help us to surrender to d voice of d Holy Spirit IJNA 🙏
But please Pastor I prefer you using d KJV of d Bible, thank you Sir 😊🙏
Amen. Thank you. Pastor Mark’s preferred version for preaching is NKJV, but he consults all other versions.
The Trinity is the central doctrine of the Catholic church. The Holy Spirit is the Spirit of God, nit a third person. It is called the Holy Spirit because God is Holy. The Holy Spirit is the mind, or presence of God. Psalm 51:11 helps to confirm this. Along with many other verses.
100% praise God
Please read this: www.adventistbiblicalresearch.org/materials/the-holy-spirit-and-the-godhead/
And no need of making mention the HOLY SPIRIT to give praise and honor , but only to reverend as what you did to the eternal FATHER, and do not mock His acts and works and moves , and this the way you reverend HIM because the Holy Spirit is IN THE FATHER, COZ THAT IS HIS MIND,,,THE PRESENCE,,,, AND HIS POWER,
No, the Holy Spirit is a distinct person. Please read this: www.adventist.org/holy-spirit/
@@HL365right? Because there are only a few verses that can used to ‘prove the Trinity’ this saith the lord I too difficult…
A message true to the Bible. Praise the Lord.
Thanks for watching. May God bless you.
What I've taken away from this is that you think the holy spirit is a person because the bible says he's the third person of the god head and he's referred to as "he" a lot. The problem is that the holy spirit doesn't seem to have a character in the way that persons do and that seems like a real issue because he's the one it seems like we're supposed to be able to have the most first hand dealings with.
Also, force can absolutely guide you. That's literally how compasses work. This is pretty difficult because the bible is already written poetically and this can be just a poetic way of talking about a force.
I'm sure this is heretical, but I almost think the holy spirt could just be the consciousness that resides in people. You know when you're lying. You know that when you're not lying, you're not speaking from your own authority, but from what you've heard, which is going to be what you honestly believe is true if you're taking everything you've heard into consideration. It makes a whole lot more sense in the light of the understanding of angels, archangels, demon, devils, etc. that I believe is presented in "Malleus Maleficarum", which is essentially that they exist as components or sets of components of the human mind; they're the internal things that drive you and the thinking tools you've developed over you're life. The holy spirit could be the observer, the I, the tiny fragment of divinity in the midst of the angels and demons that cannot truly deceive itself. That makes more sense to me than anything else I've heard about what the holy spirit is.
The Holy Spirit certainly has the characteristics of a person. He can be grieved (Eph. 4:31,32). Holy Spirit can be lied to (Acts 5:3,4). A force cannot be grieved or lied to.
You seem to think that the Holy Spirit is a consciousness that resides in us. The problem with your thought is that Holy Spirit is God and to say that the Holy Spirit is the consciousness that resides in us means that we are all gods. The Holy Spirit is a divine person.
If you'd like to talk more about it, please email us at info@Hopelives365.com and we'd be glad to talk to you about it.
@@HL365 Forces can easily be grieved or lied to if you're speaking poetically: The tide grieved the loss of some ship that got raised from the ocean. There have been mornings when I lied to the rotation of the Earth in a vain attempt to hold an angel just a little longer. The last one almost sounds like something Lord Byron Lovelace would say. I don't think it's supposed to be a force, I'm just pointing out that this argument is weak. It's possible that it could be better supported if you looked at the Greek and/or Hebrew words, but I really doubt it's going to look clearer.
You say that we would all be gods if the holy spirit is the consciousness that resides in all of us, but am I a tiny piece of skin at the tip of one of my fingers? For a time, I experience things through that tiny piece of skin, but it can be cut off and turned into parts of bugs, plants, and molds that I aren't me, even while I'm still alive. What am I? Am I the personality and character associated with this body or am I the the thing that experiences being the personality and character associated with this body. The thing that experiences doesn't really have anything to do with what you would call me. It's just temporarily experiencing what it's like to be what you would call me in the moments when this body is in a physical state that allows what you would call me to exist.
You're saying that the holy spirit is a divine person as if it conflicts with what I'm saying, but I honestly don't think it does unless you define things ways that would make the holy spirit something that obviously does not exist.
I'm interested i talking more with you about this, but I would rather keep it public because I don't like situations where con-men isolate their victims and tell them conflicting things to keep everybody giving them money. I'm not saying that's surely you, but I'm very skeptical that it's possible to be involved in a modern Christian ministry and not be a con-man or actually insane. I hope it's possible, but I'm skeptical.
