Sigh. What a stalker. I truly don't recall Christ... or the Apostles... stalking people down to make THEM defend their faith. Rather, it was the other way around: folks stalked/followed THEM around... and demanded from THEM a reason for their faith. As you are doing here. Kinda revealing, IMHO. But, just as then, I will make a reply and defend MY faith, since you addressed it:
she swares her lord is the Holy Spirit
I am sure dear Watersprout (peace to you, dear one! can answer for herself, but since you mentioned what I "swear" to, I will respond as to ME. Starting with the fact that, although I don't always agree with him (nor did the Apostles/disciples), because his teachings were always supported by holy spirit, or FROM the Holy Spirit), Paul pretty much swore the same thing:
"Now the Lord is that Spirit: and where the Spirit of the Lord [is], there [is] liberty." 2 Corinthians 3:17 (NKJV)
In case you are among those who put their faith in him, his words should suffice. I do understand that some, perhaps even you, believe Paul served a different "lord" than the Apostles, but he didn't. True, they had their differences early on but in the end they were in union as to WHO it was they served: the Holy One of Israel (whose name is JAHESHUA... or, Joshua, if you prefer to say it in English... the chosen One of JAH (MischaJah).
Funny, isn't it, though, that it was my Lord that the Father said we should listen to? And funny, isn't it, that he (my Lord) called himself the Way... Truth... Life... Door? Funny, isn't it that he said, of the holy spirit, that it would speak what was HIS (my Lord's)? Funny isn't it that the OT speaks of JAH putting His spirit IN/WITHIN people... and Christ asking for it not to be REMOVED from him? Funny, isn't it, that when my Lord granted holy spirit to his Apostles... no "person" came down; he simply BLEW ON THEM? So that they could "RECEIVE HOLY SPIRIT"... by means of receiving his BREATH/LIFE FORCE?
"And when He had said this, He breathed on [them], and said to them, "Receive the Holy Spirit." John 20:22 (NKJV)
Funny, too, isn't it, that not a SINGLE reference to "holy spirit"... whether in the OT or the NT... and whether preceded by the words "the"... or transliterated as the term "holy ghost"... depicts a SINGLE capital letter... as to "holy" OR to "spirit"... making it a SCRIBAL choice as to which phrases should be capitalized and which should not? Funny, too, isn't it, that Jeremiah prophesied about the "false stylus" of the "secretaries" (scribes/copyists)... and Christ is recorded to have said, "WOE, to you... scribes!"?
A lot of "funny" things, aren't there? Including your claim to "know"... based on the erroneous mistranslation of ONE verse... versus what YOU received FROM the Holy Spirit? You posture and orate... but based on what? YOU don't know... because YOU haven't received such spirit... such BREATH [of life]... so as TO know. Yet, you point the finger at others.
The REASON that God's holy spirit descended upon my Lord "in the form of a dove"... was so that John could SEE it (because you can't SEE breath!)... in a form that would not horrify him (because that spirit is also the BLOOD (so that any who receive it can live... forever)... and SEMEN (so that women - Sarah, Hagar, and Mary - could be impregnated by it)... of the Most Holy One of Israel. Having blood... or semen... come down upon my Lord... particularly in light of the OT admonitions as to both... would have caused a result COUNTER to what was intended (faith in the TRUTH that this was indeed the Chosen One and Son of God). It would have horrified and caused a turning away.
But the Most Holy One of Israel sent His breath, His life force... in a form that John could see... with his eyes... which breath thereafter entered into my Lord. Which is why when HE sent it, it occurred "as if a stiff rushing BREEZE." When someone BLOWS breath... that is what HAPPENS: a "wind".
Get a clue. You can do that, first, by repenting of your blasphemy. Then, by asking for the same holy spirit... from the same Lord, the Holy One of Israel, JAHESHUA MISCHAJAH... both of which come from the MOST Holy One of Israel, JAH of Armies. That may not remove the consequences of such blasphemy, but it will at least enlighten you as to the truth. Were it me, I would want to know the TRUTH... even if I had already forfeited my life.
A slave of Christ, the Holy One of Israel whose name is NOT "Jesus" (which is NOT an English form of ANYTHING, let alone the Hebrew names "Yeshua", "Yehoshua", "Y'eshua" or "Y'Shua"), but is JAHESHUA... pronounced "Yah eShua"... and IS accurate, even if those before removed the name of the MOST Holy One of Israel, JAH... of Armies... from that One's name because they considered it "too sacred" to utter...
