Up Religion













Articles general
  • Fruit of the Holy Spirit - "The Fruit of the Spirit is a a biblical term that sums up the nine visible attributes of a true Christian life, according to Paul's Letter to the Galatians chapter 5. Apparently, these are not individual "fruits" (attributes) from which to pick and choose. Rather, the fruit of the Spirit is one ninefold "fruit" that characterizes all who truly walk in the Holy Spirit." - ("But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, Meekness, temperance: against such there is no law." - Galatians 5:22-23, KJV) - Wikipedia
  • Holy Spirit - The Holy Spirit is seen by Christians as one Person of the Triune God who manifests as three persons, or in the Greek hypostases, one being. (The concept is known not only in Christianity but also in other religious groups) - Wikipedia
  • Seven gifts of the Holy Spirit - "The seven gifts of the Holy Spirit are gifts that Anglicans, Catholics, and Lutherans believe the Holy Spirit gives to people to further their sanctification and help "complete and perfect the virtues of those who receive them."" - Wisdom, Understanding, Counsel, Fortitude, Knowledge, Piety, Fear the Lord - Wikipedia
Articles other
  • A sermon by Yeon Ah Nim - "The Holy Spirit Healing Service is not a magical cure-all. People cannot be brought to repent right away. But, I believe that if you do it consistently for a period of time, God and the Holy Spirit will be with you." - (Yeon Ah Nim is the wife of Rev. Hyung Jin Moon, international president of the Unification Church) - Feb 13, 2011
  • A sermon by Rev. Hyung Jin Moon - "... we really feel in the Korean Church now that the Holy Spirit is back in the Unifcation Church, that the Holy Spirit is back and is alive. It’s conducting all sorts of miraculous healings, amazing! Amazing! The Spirit is back!" - (Rev. Hyung Jin Moon is the international president of the Unification Church) Feb 5, 2011
  • Importance of the Old Testament in New Testament Study - "The Holy Spirit in Creation: The Spirit is seen from the beginning as present at creation in Genesis 1.2, “the Spirit of God hovered over the face of the waters”, like a bird watching over its nest, and then God speaks and the process continues. The Psalmist conjoins these ideas of spirit and word when he describes the creation in these terms - “By the word of the Lord were the heavens made, and all their hosts by the breath (spirit) of His mouth” (Psalm 33.6)." - angelfire.com
  • What was the role of the Holy Spirit in the Old Testament? - "The role of the Holy Spirit in the Old Testament was not principally different from the role of the Holy Spirit in the New Testament. While there are some differences, there's an essential unity between the two Testaments." - The Holy Spirit: Old Testament and Today by R. C. Sproul
Notes
  • In Western art, the Holy Spirit is often depicted as a dove, based on the account of the Holy Spirit descending on Jesus like a dove when he was baptized in the Jordan.
Views on the 'Holy Spirit'
  • Bahá'í Faith - "The Bahá'í Faith has the concept of the Most Great Spirit, seen as the bounty of God. It is usually used to describe the descent of the Spirit of God upon the messengers/prophets of God, which are known as Manifestations of God, and include among others Jesus, Muhammad and Bahá'u'lláh." [1]
  • Catholicism - "According to Roman Catholic theology the primary work of the Holy Spirit is through the church." [1]
  • Islam - "In Islam, the Created Spirit that acts as an agent of divine action or communication commonly identified with the angel Gabriel is called holy spirit, but also alternatively with the created spirit from God by which he enlivened Adam, and inspired the angels and the prophets. The belief in Trinity is explicitly forbidden by the Qur'an and called a grave sin. The same applies to any idea of the duality of God (Allah)." [1]
  • Jehovah's Witnesses - "Jehovah's Witnesses Jehovah's Witnesses believe that the Holy Spirit is not an actual person but God's power in action, like God's divine "breath" or "energy", that he uses to accomplish his will and purpose..." [1]
  • Judaism - "The term "holy spirit" only occurs three times in the Hebrew Bible. In Judaism, the idea of God as a duality or trinity is heretical. Nonetheless, the term Ruach HaKodesh (Holy Spirit) is found frequently in Talmudic and Midrashic literature. In some cases it signifies prophetic inspiration, while in others it is used as a hypostatization or a metonym for God." [1]
  • Pentecostalism - "While the Holy Spirit is acknowledged as God in all mainstream denominations, he is given particular emphasis in Pentecostal churches. In those churches he is seen as the giver of natural and supernatural gifts, such as tongues and prophecy, to modern-day Christians." [1]
  • Rastafari movement - "Rastafari ... they generally state that it is Haile Selassie who embodies both God the Father and God the Son, while the Holy (or rather, "Hola") Spirit is to be found within Rasta believers (see 'I and I'), and within every human being." [1]
  • Unification Church - "There are many who have received the revelation that the Holy Spirit is feminine. This is because the Holy Spirit comes as the True Mother or second Eve. Since the Holy Spirit is the feminine aspect of divinity, without first receiving her we cannot go before Jesus as his brides. Being feminine, the Holy Spirit consoles and moves the hearts of people. She cleanses people’s sin, thereby atoning for the sin which Eve committed. Jesus, the masculine Lord, works in heaven (yang), while the Holy Spirit, his feminine counterpart, works on the earth (yin)." [2]
