The Trinity?

Emmanation

The Bible is indeed clear, and this is the definitive scripture:

Ephesians 4:4-6 ?There is one body and one Spirit, just as also you were called in one hope of your calling; one Lord, one faith, one baptism, one God and Father of all who is over all and through all and in all.?

This plainly states one Spirit


Without the courtesy of providing the verse reference, you have then used the following verse to attempt to make a case contrary to a straightforward scriptural truth, one Spirit.

John 4:24 (CEV) God is Spirit, and those who worship God must be led by the Spirit to worship him according to the truth.
John 4:24 (NASB) "God is spirit, and those who worship Him must worship in spirit and truth."

While this is one of those verses where different versions variously reference spirit with or without the upper case designation, there is no justification for interpreting the scripture to mean there are two Spirits. It is a simple statement about the type of being God is. There are evil spirits, the spiritual realms, and even the seven Spirits of God (Revelation 3:1, 4:5, 5:6). We know there is one God who consists of three Persons and He is eternal spirit, as opposed to body, soul, or an unknown object. John 4:24 is Jesus telling the woman at the well what type of being is the true God. In context:

John 4:21-24(NKJV) Jesus said to her, "Woman, believe Me, the hour is coming when you will neither on this mountain, nor in Jerusalem, worship the Father. You worship what you do not know; we know what we worship, for salvation is of the Jews. But the hour is coming, and now is, when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth; for the Father is seeking such to worship Him. God is Spirit, and those who worship Him must worship in Spirit and truth."

The attempt to read implied philosophy between the lines of John chapter 4 to make a case for two Spirits is baseless and denies the indisputable statement in Ephesians 4:4 that there is one Spirit.

Hello There..Peace of Christ.
