Edited by Phat, : No reason given. "A lie can travel half way around the world while the truth is putting on its shoes." ~Mark Twain " *** “…far from science having buried God, not only do the results of science point towards his existence, but the scientific enterprise itself is validated by his existence.”- Dr.John Lennox “The whole war between the atheist and the theist comes down to this: the atheist believes a 'what' created the universe; the theist believes a 'who' created the universe.”

Yet that is NOT what the evidence shows Phat. Paul continued all of Saul's faults and shortcoming and was exactly the same unrepentant, unforgiving, obnoxious, "may way or the highway", loud mouthed pratt as before. Paul did change sides but nothing else UNLESS you can offer evidence or reasoned support for your assertion.
What behavior and how does that particular behavior test or evidence or demonstrate "spirit"?

I might add "I am NOT GOD."
Potter was once a Buddhist. He evolved beyond Monism and Dualism and embraced Trinitarianism. (More specifically, Trinitarian Monotheism.)
I will continue quoting Potter and then we will address the scriptures that the apologists claim speak directly about the Holy Spirit. We can hash it out there. By the way, I took these quotes of Ellis Potter from this article (since I am too lazy to type word for word quotes from the paperback copy of the book which I have and have read through once...I am rereading the book in light of jars challenge regarding Trinitarian Monotheism vs Monotheism (or perhaps in jars mind, Monism. Allah is a Monistic God. He had no son nor is he in communion with anybody)
I do not see it as easy, but I do affirm a spiritual war of sorts....a dualistic yin/yang reality of good and evil. Potter explains how Monotheism, through Trinitarianism, eclipses the monistic (or strict monotheistic) views of Allah or of GOD, Creator of all seen and unseen and a human son sitting at His right side
jar and I are discussing what (if anything) the Holy Spirit is over in Message 152 "A lie can travel half way around the world while the truth is putting on its shoes." ~Mark Twain " *** “…far from science having buried God, not only do the results of science point towards his existence, but the scientific enterprise itself is validated by his existence.”- Dr.John Lennox “The whole war between the atheist and the theist comes down to this: the atheist believes a 'what' created the universe; the theist believes a 'who' created the universe.” “The most difficult subjects can be explained to the most slow-witted man if he has not formed any idea of them already; but the simplest thing cannot be made clear to the most intelligent man if he is firmly persuaded that he knows already, without a shadow of a doubt, what is laid before him.” — Leo Tolstoy, The Kingdom of God is Within You

quote: By which you mean he decided to declare his beliefs superior to everyone else’s without bothering to understand what he was rubbishing. That isn’t my idea of “evolved”. quote: They are certainly not identical. Logic is a formalised subset of Reason, for instance. Reality would be everything that actually exists, as it actually exists, so I suppose it would include Reason (or at least actual instances of Reason - but perhaps we had better not get into the question of whether abstracts exist). quote: No. Allah is a monotheistic God. A monistic God (as Potter means it) would be pantheism which is not mainstream Islamic thought any more than it is mainstream Christian thought.
