    The Holy Spirit? Sounds a lot like The Green Spirit to me...

    There seems to be relationship between everything, here...

    In mainstream Christianity, the Holy Spirit is one person of the Trinity, co-equal with the Father and the Son (Jesus).

    Christians believe it is the Holy Spirit who leads people to faith in Jesus and the one who gives them the ability to lead a Christian life. The Spirit dwells inside every true Christian, each one's body being His temple (First Epistle to the Corinthians 3:16). He is depicted as a 'Counsellor' or 'Helper' (paraclete in Greek), guiding them in the way of the truth. The Spirit's action in one's life is believed to produce positive results, known as the Fruits of the Spirit. The Spirit is also believed to give gifts (i.e. abilities) to Christians. These include the charismatic gifts such as prophecy, tongues, healing, and knowledge. (Some Christians, whose view is known as cessationism, believe these gifts were given only in New Testament times.) Christians agree almost universally that certain more mundane "spiritual gifts" are still in effect today, including the gifts of ministry, teaching, giving, leadership, and mercy (see, e.g. Romans 12:6-8). In some sects of Christianity, the experience of the Holy Spirit is referred to as being anointed. In the African American Gospel music tradition, the experience of the Holy Spirit is referred to as 'getting happy'.

    You're very true in a lot of things you said, despite your probably sarcastic intention. I believe that God gives gifts to everyone. I don't just believe this because, but rather I've seen it. I myself, even before I was a christian, have always been blessed in my life. I've been given the ability to have passion and to get good at that passion. First it was hockey, now it's drumming...and since becoming a christian I've had an inclination towards public speaking, and christian apologetics (I used to be quite shy, but God has made strength out of my weaknesses). That is what's meant by gifts. God gives everyone on this earth gifts in order that they use those gifts to serve him. Some choose to only serve themselves with those gifts though.

    The holy ghost is what God fills you with when you have a relationship with him. Why do you think it is that churches are so involved in charity? It's enjoyable to christians to do what is usually a "drag" or "bore" to non-christians. The holy ghost (or spirit) is the little part of God that lives in those with a direct relationship to him

    I wasn't being sarchastic. I was trying to tie life together with life. It's a fact that we all live with beliefs, but why can't everyone believe that God is the one who created Marijuana, and, since He did (and He created the Universe for Us), then His intentions were for us to live with it?

    If God is non-existent, than why is there no other natural being try to subliminally harm the human race?

    What I wanted to do, was replace Pot in there.

    Of course, meaning the Holy Spirit gives us the Pot.

    "father" = subconsciousness
    "Son" = physical consciousness
    "holy spirit" = superconsciousness.


    supposedly the creater of the veil which seperates the three conscious minds is losing controll over said veil, and reintegration of the father, son, and holy spirit will occour over time, as the veil falls.

    I actually had to sit down the other day and ask myself if smoking pot was really a good thing...afterall God did create it. However, we 'smoke' pot, and I wonder if we would've ever decided to smoke anything if we hadn't fallen... and then I thought about it..."wait a sec, we EAT pot." ahh...however, what about mushrooms and stuff like that? I believe mushrooms are spiritually risky (based on my own experience with them) but in a world were God was with us, I wonder what mushrooms would be used for...it's this reason that I wonder if there are "drugs" (per se) in heaven...

    I know it's our use of drugs that makes them bad. For example, I find that smoking little bits of weed puts me in a perfect state. I can read the bible, feel mental connections better, and my thoughts some times (though from a different and much more obscure light) can make more sense...or "different" sense...it's only when I go ape shit and smoke 1-3 joints to myself that my thoughts take a dive into the "laugh at my shoes till I puke" level.

    pyramid I know how you feel and...
    I took a threshhold dose of 1 gram of shrooms not too long ago and it was great. nothing like taking a full 8th or quarter and I could smoke a bowl also. I felt like I was sucking in psychic energy from everything. I was in a great mood and in controll the whole time.

    you seem condecending on your own high...

    i think you lack a certian amount of udnerstanding the "laugh at my shoes untill i puke" level of high.


    it's a more broad mindedness which you may or may not be mentally ready for.


    but im probably wrong about this lol

    I believe that the father, son, and holy spirit are three faces to the shape that is God. If God were truley God, than he isn't limited, like we are, to being a "single thing". God is the creator, but Jesus says "even before the creation there I am". "I am" is something only God uses for identification. Jesus is also called the second Adam. This makes sense if we were origionally created as children of God (not physically but spiritually). Since the bible also says that we fell away from God, we have to assume that when God sent his only son, he had to create a human being with a little bit of 'him' in him...you might even say "all" of him. In otherwords, God has created man, man has fallen, so God has come back to get us...Jesus is the "son of man" in the physical sense that he was brought into the creation and "born" as a decendent of the same blood that we all have (Adam and Eve's), and yet he is the "son of God" because spiritually he consisted of only Godliness. If God is "all that isn't bad", and Jesus was without any bad, than one is left to believe that all that was in Jesus was God.
    My understanding of the holy spirit is a little less developed, but I believe that it's that "holy spirit" means that bit of God's spirit that he sometimes puts in people. God's "holiness in spirit form" is, in the bible, used to give people love, strength, faith, knowledge, wisdom, and anything else "Godly", moreso than it is an actual seperate identity.

    now of course we have all these people in a room squabbling over the different little reasons they shouldn't believe in it, but it's so theologically complex (and yet the concept is so simply perfect) that I just have to believe it to be more than just filling the gap of the unknown with whatever "seems to fit."
