jeremiah j. johnston has written a bible study dealing with the resurrection of jesus christ, just celebrated by people the world over. it is entitled body of proof: a study on the resurrection of jesus. i plan to post selected excerpts from his book over the next few weeks to confirm the truth of the living jesus in our time and into eternity. i have devoted considerable time iin my writings addressing how jesus sent his holy spirit as he promised his disciples just before his crucifixion as helper and counselor. i have studied THE HOW OF the DUALIST INTERACTION WITH MANKIND THROUGH THE CREATED NEURAL SYNAPTIC NETWORKS OF THE BRAIN and the cognitive mind and soul. JESUS LIVES TO RESTORE a PERSONAL COMMUNION WITH MAN IN REPENTENCE, ALWAYS DESIRED BY THE FATHER GOD when man was created, but lost at the fall. by his grace god has provided for restoration of this communion and eternal salvation through the sin sacrifice of jesus on the cross.

i have been blessed to see people from so many countries ACCESS my website and blogs. it is my prayer that some have taken the time to read blogs of interest AND MY BOOKS and that knowledge has been increased.

My research began OVER 25 YEARS AGO to gain understaNDING OF DUALIST INTERACTION BETWEEN THE IMMATERIAL MIND OF GOD/HOLY SPIRIT AND MIND OF MAN AND THE MATERIAL NEURAL SYNAPTIC NETWORKS OF THE HUMAN BRAIN. I HAVE SHARED ABOUT NEURAL CODES, THAT THEY ARE LINGUISTIC, CAPITALIZING ON THE UNIQUE ABILITY OF HUMANS TO USE LANGUAGE IN ITS SOPHISTICATION. i HAVE SHARED HOW INFORMATION IS SPECIFIED FROM ESSENTIALLY INFINITE RESOURCES ACCORDING TO STRUCTURE, MEANING AND PURPOSE WITH INTENDED AND ANTICIPATED RESULTS. FOR INFORMATION TO BE TRANSMITTED BETWEEN THE COGNITIVE MINDS OF GOD AND MAN IT MUST BE ENCODED. CENTRAL TO THE TRANSMISSION OF INFORMATION IS THE ROLE OF NONMATERIAL WAVE FORMS AND QUANTUM TUNNELING IN AND THROUGH SYNCHRONOUS, COHERENT NEURAL SYNAPTIC NETWORKS. THAT THE PROBABILITIES OF QUANTUM PROCESSES ARE INTEGRAL TO THIS TRANSMISSION OPENS THE DOOR TO THE EXPRESSION AND ACTUALIZATION OF HUMAN WILL AND INTENTION. OF PRIME IMPORTANCE TO MY STUDIES AND WRITINGS IS THE REALITY OF COMMUNION BETWEEN THE LIVING JESUS CHRIST BY HIS HOLY SPIRIT IN OUR TIME. IT HAS ALWAYS BEEN THE PLAN OF OUR CREATOR GOD TO HAVE PERSONAL COMMUNION WITH MANKIND, LOST AT THE FALL OF MAN BUT RESTORED BY THE SIN SACRIFICE OF JESUS FOR THE SINS OF MAN, DYING ONCE FOR ALL. jESUS WAS RESURRECTED BY THE POWER OF THE HOLY SPIRIT AND LIVES SO THAT IN REPENTENCE WE HAVE ACCESS TO ETERNAL LIFE IN CHRIST BY GOD’S GRACE. tHIS IS THE GOSPEL EXPRESSED IMPLICITLY IN MY BOOKS AND BLOG POSTS. I HAVE SHARED WHAT HAS BEEN LEARNED ABOUT THE HOW OF THIS PROCESS AS A PROGRESSIVE REVELATION FROM GOD.

MY RESEARCH WILL CONTINUE. THANKS TO THOSE WHO HAVE ACCESSED MY WRITINGS AND POSTS THROUGH THE YEARS.

In this quote C. S. Lewis speaks to the reality of the supernatural:

For me the Christian doctrines which are “metaphorical” - or which have become metaphorical with the increase of abstract thought - mean something which is just as “supernatural” or shocking after we have removed the ancient imagery as it was before. They mean that in addition to the physical or psycho-physical universe known to the sciences, there exists an uncreated and unconditioned reality which causes the universe to be; that this reality has a positive structure or constitution which is usefully, though doubtless not completely, described in the doctrine of the Trinity; and that this reality, at a definite point in time, entered the universe we know by becoming one of its own creatures and there produced effects on the historical level which the normal workings of the natural universe do not produce; and that this has brought about a change in our relations to the unconditioned reality.

The resurrected Jesus Christ sent as He promised the Holy Spirit to indwell believers in repentance, bringing “a change in our relations to the unconditioned reality,” to the Holy Spirit, to God the Father, by His grace through Jesus Christ.

Human minds, then, are not the only supernatural entities that exist. They do not come from nowhere. Each has come into Nature from Supernature; each has its tap-root in an eternal, self-existent, rational Being, whom we call God. Each is an offshoot, or spearhead, or incursion of that Supernatural reality into Nature. (C. S. Lewis, Miracles)

“The Holy Spirit fulfills the role of the sanctifier. To be sanctified is to be made holy, or righteous. Sanctification is a process that begins the moment we become Christians. The process continues until death when the believer is made finally, fully, and forevermore righteous….Our sanctification is a cooperative venture. We must work with the Holy Spirit to grow in sanctification.“ (R. C. Sproul, Essential Truths of the Christian Faith)

I conclude this series of quotes from Billy Graham’s book, The Holy Spirit: Activating God’s Power in Your Life, with these comments:

“There should be no more distinctive mark of the Christian than love. . . . The Holy Spirit is the one who reproves, convicts, strives, instructs, invites, quickens, regenerates, renews, strengthens, and uses. He must not be grieved, resisted, tempted, quenched, insulted, or blasphemed. He gives liberty to the Christian, direction to the worker, discernment to the teacher, power to the Word, and fruit to faithful service. He reveals the things of Christ. He teaches us how to use the sword of the Spirit which is the Word of God. He guides us into all truth. He directs in the way of godliness. He teaches us how to answer the enemies of our Lord. He gives us [direct] access to the Father.”

“…the operations of the Holy Spirit among men in the three periods of human history may be defined by three words: “upon,” “with,” “in.” In the Old Testament He came upon selected persons and remained for a season (Judg. 14:19). In the Gospels He is represented as dwelling with the disciples in the person of Christ (John 14:17). From the second chapter of Acts onward he is spoken of as being in the people of God (1 Cor. 6:19).” (Billy Graham)

“Pentecost in the New Testament marked the commencement of the present age of the Holy Spirit. Believers are under the guidance even as the disciples of Jesus were under Him. From heaven Jesus still exercises lordship over us, but, not being physically with us now, He transmits his directions by means of the Holy Spirit who makes Christ real to us. Since Pentecost the Holy Spirit is the link between the first and second advents of Jesus. He applies the work of Jesus Christ to men in this age….” (Billy Graham)

I have endeavored to share how, at least in part, the holy spirit communes with the spirit and soul of man through the synaptic networks of the human brain, transmitting specified information encoded within wave forms of action potentials. neuroscience is clarifying this process with applications of technological advances that show concordance with Scripture.

Genesis 2:7 also says that the Lord God “breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living being.” … clearly man owes his very life to God according to this passage. And the breath of God that started man on his earthly journey was, in fact, the Holy Spirit, as Job 33:4 tells us. (The Spirit of God has made me; the breath of the Almighty gives me life.)

It is pointed out in my second book, The Boundless Love of God: A Holy Spirit Story, that the Fall of Adam accounted for the loss of indwelling communion between the Holy Spirit and the spirit and soul of Adam since God does not abide with sin. But by the grace and boundless love of God for mankind through the sin sacrifice of HIs Son, Jesus Christ, the indwelling has been restored to those who are in repentance and choose to follow the Counsel of the Holy Spirit sent as promised by the resurrected and living Jesus Christ.

Before he died, Pope John was asked what church doctrine most needed emphasis today. He replied, "The doctrine of the Holy Spirit.” Billy Graham asked Dr. Karl Barth what he thought the next emphasis on theology would be. He replied without hesitation, “The Holy Spirit.”

Doctor Graham expressed concern over the misunderstanding and even ignorance in some Christian circles concerning the Third Person of the Trinity. How the Father, Son and the Holy Spirit relate is explained as follows: …we say that we pray to the Father through the Son and in the power of the Holy Spirit. …functionally the Father came first, then the Son became incarnate, died and rose again. Now the Spirit does His work in this age of the Spirit….trinitarianism preserves the unity of the Godhead, and at the same time it acknowledges that there are three persons in that Godhead which is still of one essence. God is one, but that oneness is not simple - it is complex. God the Father is fully God. God the Son is fully God. God the Holy Spirit is fully God. The Bible presents this as fact….although the Father is the Source of all blessing, it is through the Holy Spirit at work in us that all truth becomes living and operative in our lives.

I have presented evidence from neuroscience in my books and in several blogs posted to date that confirm dualist interaction between the immaterial Spirit of God and the human spirit and soul through the material neural synaptic networks of the human brain. The human cognitive capacity to interpret linguistic neural codes actualized within spike trains of action potentials enables work of the Holy Spirit within us.
