The Holy Spirit in the Old Testament
Jewish people react to the topic of the Holy Spirit much like Gentiles react to gefilte fish—with a rolling of the eyes and contortion of the face. Gentiles react that way because gefilte fish is completely foreign to their experience. It’s a culinary leap of faith for them to sample the somewhat strange-looking (but, in my opinion, wonderful-tasting) boiled fish balls. The Jewish reactionGet More Articles—Subscribe Today!

Thank you for your delightful insight! It clears up my question.
Great study! What is the Hebraic understanding of the triune God versus the trinity doctrine? I’m having a hard time understanding this.
What was your reply to Edwin Aguilar on May 10, 2021 at 12:47 am?
I see questions, but no response.
Thank you
Was Torah and the Holy Spirit given at the same time?
Thank you for info on, ” Holy Spirit” is The Truth. The most Awsome and powerful Sent By ALmight God, Creator of The Universe!
I being muslim, experienced The Holy Spirit ,but failed to recognize Him !
Finally I look in ,The Qur’an, GOD Transcendent Tells us , That He Sends Holy Spirit By His Command to some People. God Supreme Exalted One , also Tells us the miraculous works were being done By , “The Spirit” !

How would you address the following thoughts about the Holy Spirit.

Hello Edwin! 2 suggestions. Do your own word search Bible Study using a thesaurus. Ask the Holy Spirit to teach you what God/God the Father said in the inspired O.T. and N.T. THEN read Living Water by Chuck Smith (and also do research while reading any book- if a question arises, go to the Word of God, again, thesaurus) and also Knowing God by J.I. Packer. ENJOY!
I enjoyed your teaching on the Holy Spirit in the Old Testament. Thank you.
