How was Jesus conceived in His mothers womb?
4. Does Jesus refer to the Holy Spirit as His father? Consider John 8:19. COMMENT: It was through the Holy Spirit that Christ was conceived in Mary’s womb. Yet He does not refer to the Holy Spirit as His Father. Clearly, the Holy Spirit is not a person but the power God the Father uses to accomplish His will. GALATIANS 1:1: “Paul, an apostle (not from men nor through man, but through Jesus Christ and God the Father who raised Him from the dead)….” 5. For whom did Paul serve as an Apostle? 6. As Paul sent greetings to the churches of God did he mention the Holy Spirit? Read the opening verses to Paul’s epistles, such as, 1 Corinthians 1:3 and Ephesians 1:2. Why is there no mention of the Holy Spirit? COMMENT: Paul offers greetings from God the Father and Jesus Christ to the churches in each of his letters. He never offers greetings from the Holy Spirit. These examples help us to see that the Holy Spirit is not a person.
