Holy Spirit in Scripture in concordance with neuroscience
In my last blogs numbering close to 20, I have discussed in detail aspects of synaptic transmission that are becoming understood that give credence to dualist interaction between the immaterial mind (and Mind of God) and the material components of the human brain. I have proposed that the “nonmaterial energy” referred to in several cited articles and in my books can be identified as the process of quantum tunneling that interacts with the electrochemical action potentials that transmit encoded specified information.
As I was reading John 14 this morning, I was struck with the need to identify several verses spoken by Jesus Christ that show concordance with what is being presented in the neuroscience literature. If the reader has been following my blog posts and contents of my books over time, I believe my listing of these verses will bring renewed emphasis to this concordance. They are from the NIV Study Bible:
Anyone who has seen me has seen the Father. How can you say, “Show us the Father”? Don’t you believe that I am in the Father, and that the Father is in me? The words I say to you are not just my own. Rather, it is the Father, living in me, who is doing his work. Believe me when I say that I am in the Father and the Father is in me; or at least believe on the evidence of the miracles themselves. . . . But you know him, for he lives with you and will be in you. I will not leave you as orphans; I will come to you. Before long, the world will not see me anymore, but you will see me. Because I live, you also will live. On that day you will realize that I am in my Father, and you are in me, and I am in you. . . . All this I have spoken while still with you. But the Counselor, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, will teach you all things and will remind you of everything I have said to you. . . . but the world must learn that I love the Father and that I do exactly what my Father has commanded me.
