For starters, the Scriptures do not speak of trinity or God the Holy Ghost
The Scriptures speak of the ONE GOD, the Father.
No OT Jew or 1st-century Christian would read the following verses and depict two persons of GOD i.e.
- (Num 24:2) And Balaam ... and the spirit of God came upon him.
- (Judg 3:10) And the spirit of YAHWEH came upon him ...
- (Judg 6:34) But the spirit of YAHWEH came upon Gideon ...
- (Judg 11:29) Then the spirit of YAHWEH came upon Jephthah ...
- (Judg 14:6) And the spirit of YAHWEH came mightily upon him, and he rent him as he would have rent a kid, and he had nothing in his hand: ...
- (Judg 14:19) And the spirit of YAHWEH came upon him, and he went down to Ashkelon, and slew thirty men of them ...
- (Judg 15:14) ... and the spirit of YAHWEH came mightily upon him ...
- (1 Sam 10:6) And the spirit of YAHWEH will come upon thee, and thou shalt prophesy with them, and shalt be turned into another man.
- (1 Sam 10:10) ... and the spirit of God came upon him, and he prophesied among them.
- (1 Sam 11:6) And the spirit of God came upon Saul ...
- (1 Sam 16:13) Then Samuel took the horn of oil, and anointed him in the midst of his brethren: and the spirit of YAHWEH came upon David from that day forward. ...
- (1 Chr 12:18 ) Then the spirit came upon Amasai ...
- (2 Chr 15:1) And the Spirit of God came upon Azariah the son of Oded:
- (2 Chr 20:14) Then upon Jahaziel the son of Zechariah, the son of Benaiah, the son of Jeiel, the son of Mattaniah, a Levite of the sons of Asaph, came the Spirit of YAHWEH in the midst of the congregation;
- (2 Chr 24:20) And the Spirit of God came upon Zechariah the son of Jehoiada the priest ...
- (Ezek 11:5) And the Spirit of YAHWEH fell upon me, ...
No reader of Biblical times would have read the above and taught from that, that one person of a so-called trinity was coming down from another person ... NO!
They would have understood that when GOD Almighty is depicted as working and moving i.e. GOD in action; the scriptures speak of His spirit as
coming down upon people,
coming upon people, and
moving.
That is, GOD's spirit is synonymous with GOD's breath, GOD's
ruwach i.e. GOD's
power in action!
Therefore just as the spirit of GOD
came upon the OT saints depicted upon, a greater miracle happen when GOD's spirit
came upon Mary; it resulted in the conception, the
genesis [Mat 1.18] of Jesus the Messiah!
Therefore Gabriel's words in Luke 1:35 ... poorly translated as "therefore also" should be rendered (from the Grk.
dio kai) "
for that reason that holy one which shall be born of thee shall be called the son of God."
The reason, therefore, that Jesus is the Son of GOD, is because of the miracle that GOD caused in the womb of Mary by His spirit, His power.
Hence
Matt 1.18 Now the birth (
genesis) of Jesus Christ was on this wise: ... she was found with child of the Holy Ghost.
... the child was a result of the spirit of GOD ...
that is all that
she was found with child of the Holy Ghost means!
The foetus in Mary's womb came about by the power, by the spirit of GOD; the very same spirit that moved in Genesis 1 and cause the creation of our world.
The Holy Spirit is the power of GOD. Therefore, GOD is truly the GOD & Father of our Lord Jesus Christ.
Remember, GOD is spirit [John 4.24] and GOD is holy.
Hope this clarifies ...
