Job 33:4 - The Spirit of God Made Me

Job 33:4 - The Spirit [Hebrew, Ruach, transliterated) of God has made me, And the breath (Hebrew, Neshamah, transliterated) of the Almighty gives me life.   By Ronald R. Day, Sr. Job 33:4 is sometimes quoted as proof that the Holy Spirit is the third person of a triune God as Creator.   While we don't think that this refers to God's Holy Spirit, if it does, we need to remember that God’s holy spirit is likened to God’s finger (as the power of God). (Matthew 12:28; Luke 11:20) As the instrument of the revealing of truth, the holy spirit is likened to God’s “mouth”. (Deuteronomy 8:3; 1 Kings 8:24; 2 Chronicles 6:4; 36:12,21; Ezra 1:1; Isaiah 1:20; 40:5; 45:23; 48:3; 58:14; 62:2; Jeremiah 9:12,20; Ezekiel 33:7; Micah 4:4; Matthew 4:4; Mark 12:36; Acts 1:17; 28:25; Hebrews 3:7; 9:8; 10:15,16; 2 Peter 1:21) Similarly, whatever is done by your finger or said by your mouth is done or said by you. That does not make you finger all of who or what you are are, nor does that make yo...

Who is the Creator?

We present below a list of scriptures that have been presented to us in support of the trinity doctrine regarding the Creator. Who is the creator? The Father (Gen 1:1; Is 44:24; Acts 17:24; Eph 3:9); Jesus (Jn 1:3; Col 1:16; Heb 1:8, 10); The Holy Spirit (Job 33:4). We have no doubt that  the "one God" of whom are all (1 Corinthians 8:6) is also the only source of creation. John 1:3,10; Colossians 1:16 and Ephesians 3:9 show that Jesus is the instrument in creation. Hebrews 1:8,10 should likewise be viewed as Jesus being the instrument of the one person who is God in Hebrews 1:1,9. God, of course, also makes use of his Holy Spirit -- his figurative finger -- in creation. There is nothing in any of the scriptures, however, that presents Jehovah, the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob (Exodus 3:14,15), as being more than one person, or that says that Jesus and God's Holy Spirit are both persons of Jehovah. We hope to return here to discuss individually each scripture given in ...

Who Indwells Believers?

Some often present the following as proof that God is three persons: Who Indwells Believers? The Father (1 Cor 3:16a; 2 Cor 6:16; 1 Jn 3:24); Jesus (Jn 6:56; Rom 8:10; Eph 3:17); The Holy Spirit (Jn 14:16-17; Rom 8:9, 11; 1 Cor 3:16b). Some add: The Bible even describes this in terms of different combinations: Father and Son (Jn 14:23); Father and Holy Spirit (Eph 2:21-22; 1 Jn 3:24); Son and Holy Spirit (Gal 4:6). The fact remains that in none of the scriptures presented do we find the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jaocb presented as three persons.  There is definitely nothing in the fact that the scriptures record the God and Father of Jesus (Micah 5:4; Ephesians 1:3) dwells or resides in the believer and that his Son dwells or resides in the believer and that Holy Spirit of God also dwells or resides in the believer that gives us any reason to imagine, assume, add to, and read into the scriptures that Jehovah, the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob is more than one person, and/or that ...
