God's justice and grace

We believe that God - who is perfectly merciful and also very just - sent the Son to assume the nature in which the disobedience had been committed, in order to bear in it the punishment of sin by his most bitter passion and death. So God made known his justice toward his Son, who was charged with our sin, and he poured out his goodness and mercy on us, who are guilty and worthy of damnation, giving to us his Son to die, by a most perfect love, and raising him to life for our justification, in order that by him we might have immortality and eternal life. (Article 20, Belgic Confession)

Communion between the Holy Spirit and the spirit of Man

Restitution of an intimate, direct, personal communion between the Holy Spirit and the human spirit and repentant soul of Man has been made available through the living Jesus Christ. Mankind is redeemed in repentence. Sin is forgiven. The penalty has been paid. this is the good news of the gospel. i am sharing information in my writings that presents compelling justification for dualist interaction between the holy spirit and the spirit and soul of man through neural synaptic networks. god has always desired a personal, bidirectional communion with man.

Purpose of the Father fulfilled

When the purpose of the Father for Jesus’ death had been accomplished, giving death to sin, the [human] spirit of Jesus was reunited with the Holy Spirit. So his spirit became again fully at one with the Holy Spirit in eternal triune communion with God the Father.

Hypostasis of Jesus Christ

“…what [Jesus] committed to his Father when he died was a real human spirit which left his body. But meanwhile his divine nature remained united with his human nature even when he was lying in the grave, and his deity never ceased to be in him….These are the reasons why we confess him to be true God and truly human - true God in order to conquer death by his power, and truly human that he might die for us in the weakness of his flesh.” [Article 19, Belgic Confession]

Promise of the Counselor

The life of the Spirit in Jesus fulfilled the Law and pointed to the salvation offered in Christ in the days to come. Jesus made this promise to the disciples, “If you love me, you will obey what I command. And I will ask the Father, and he will give you another Counselor to be with you forever - the Spirit of Truth. 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. On that day you will realize that I am in my Father, and you are in me, and I am in you. Whoever has my commands and obeys them, he is the one who loves me. He who loves me will be loved by my Father, and I too will love him and show myself to him.

Loss of communion with the Holy Spirit

The mind of Man was created in the image of the Mind of God with whom an eternal, intimate, personal communion was made possible. But communion was lost by the sin of Adam, and mankind faced eternal spiritual death, eternally devoid of communion with the Holy Spirit. It was by the love and grace of God the Father that mankind has been offered redemption with restoration of communion by the atoning sin sacrifice and resurrection of Jesus Christ. It was by God’s incarnation in Jesus Christ that mankind has been offered rescue and eternal salvation in repentence. this is the good news of the gospel. god desires personal communion with man.

Holy Spirit interacts today

There is recognition in the Christian church that the writing of the Bible was inspired by the Holy Spirit. Since 397 AD the church has considered the canon of the Bible to be complete, and the assumption of many is that the Holy Spirit ceased to communicate directly with people as occurred with the writers of Scripture. To the contrary, I present evidence in my second book, The Boundless Love of God: A Holy Spirit Story, that the Counselor and Helper sent by the glorified and living Jesus Christ continues to interact with the mind of Man through the human spirit. I explain the significance of the torn temple curtain described in Mark 15:38 at the death of Jesus Christ in the ninth hour. It signified the restoration of a direct personal interaction with the Holy Spirit offered as an indwelling to Man by God’s love and grace, and it began with the Apostles at Pentecost.

Special divine action

Alvin Plantinga states that special divine action is compatible with quantum mechanics because it doesn’t determine a specific outcome for a given set of initial conditions. Instead it assigns probabilities to the possible outcomes. Special divine action is not restrained and is therefore free to select via a proposed nonmaterial energy (triggered by quantum tunneling in the case of synaptic transmission) certain outcomes according to what William Dembski terms as “small probabilities” with specificity. Specified information with purpose and meaning is transmitted to man FROM THE HOLY SPIRIT via this created neural pathwAY. PERSONAL COMMUNION HAS BEEN RESTORED BETWEEN GOD AND MAN.

The Mind of God and the mind of Man

From “The Hypothesis” in Nerve Endings of the Soul: Interaction Between the Mind of God and the Mind of Man Through Neural Synaptic Networks:

The Mind of the personal God interacts with the immaterial mind of Man by the atoning grace of God through the living Jesus Christ in our time. His Holy Spirit indwells a receptive, repentant human spirit with the power to interact with the neural synaptic networks of the cerebral cortex, the predominate site for cognition of the human soul.

Christ indwelling

I share a statement made by Dietrich Bonhoeffer from The Martyred Christian:

“This is what we mean when we speak of Christ dwelling in our hearts. His life on earth is not finished yet, for he continues to live in the lives of his followers. Indeed, it is wrong to speak of the Christian life: we should speak rather of Christ living in us. I live, and yet no longer I, but Christ liveth in me. (Gal. 2:20). Jesus Christ, incarnate, crucified and glorified, has entered my life and taken charge. To me to live is Christ (Phil. 1:21). And where Christ lives, there the Father also lives, and both Father and Son through the Holy Ghost.”
