ALL CHRISTIANS - Has Elijah returned or not?, page-360

None of these verses address how something PROCEEDS FROM something else can both be one and the same thing.
There should never be a verse in the Bible that talks about "procession: if they are one and the same Reality.


OK then, lets show another example in the Bible where is shows this flaw your presenting.

First up, the Bible language in the Spirit does swing from being a person to it effectively being termed as it.
But it still does not remove the fact, God is the Holy Spirit, the one of Spirit, repeatedly referenced in the Bible, Spirit of God and Holy Spirit of God = one in the same.

In the beginning was the Word and the Word was with the God and God was the Word.

So on your take, regarding the Spirit, the words "God was the Word" here --> Cannot be, he cannot be both, according to your take and examples given.

In the beginning was the Word = example --> 2 Tim 1:9 - Who hath saved us, and called us with an holy calling, not according to our works, but according to his own purpose and grace, which was given us in Christ Jesus before time eternal and the Word (2 Tim) was with the God and God was the Word --> His own purpose.

The same, this, it (2 Tim) was in the beginning with God.
Hence --> In Him life was................

So right here and now, from this point on, Word and God are referenced as Him and He.

Keep in mind, God's words are Spirit;
1 Cor 2:11 - 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.

So where talking about thoughts here, which are the You, which is exactly what John is showing us;

In the Beginning was the Spirit and the Spirit was with the God and God was the Spirit.

The simple fact of the matter is and was --> what was to come back, Spirit of Truth, Holy Spirit = Almighty God and Father, which was in Jesus John 14:10, hence he said I will send you another = Acts 2:33, confirms.

The Door was opened.
