Sean and Scott speak with fellow Biola professor Fred Sanders about these questions and his new book The Holy Spirit: An Introduction.

Fred's arguments are really weak. He completely misinterprets the Isaiah 63 passage as most Trinitarians. The most natural understanding of the Spirit is not this third person theory. But rather the Spirit pertains to. It is the Spirit of Christ. Just as a man's Spirit is not different person from the man. The Jews never had such an understanding. Read 1 Corinthians 2:11. We believe the Holy Spirit is personal but not some third God person.

Do you think Jesus is mentioned in that chapter?
He is. All 3 persons are.

Good thing God isn’t a man. His ways are higher than our ways.
