Jesus commanded his disciples at the end of Matthew to go forth and baptize all nations in the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Ghost. I know you know this bc I read a reply of yours referencing it saying that your problem is when some make Jesus into the Father but I told you that we don't worship Jesus as God/Father. He is the Son.
Will you too, like Akra, presume to teach us about the ways of our Father and Christ apart from the Holy Spirit?

What I would care to say is simply what I said from before: without the Holy Spirit which is of and from the Father, one's teachings are useless and full of hopeless vanity.

I understand you have your own unique foundation of beliefs. Perhaps one day you'll make a thread that will teach us all about what you "do" believe and how it offers us a better hope and truer promises than our Lord Jesus and Father God. Nevertheless, I don't care to critique your beliefs at this moment. What I would care to say is simply what I said from before: without the Holy Spirit which is of and from the Father, one's teachings are useless and full of hopeless vanity.
So, I will ask you again...
Will you presume to teach us about the ways of our Father and Christ apart from His Holy Spirit in your unbelief?

One can not be "without" this holy spirit. It is within all life..
IF the bible did not exist... The same spirit would still be present in all life...

Like I said, I'm not here for a critique of your beliefs but I can tell you that the name Jesus should have died alongside the man 2000 years ago when hanged on a tree and gutted but it didn't.
Jesus is risen.

In reality, if Jesus isn't risen then the disciples go back to fishing (John 21) and the name Jesus dies (Acts 5) but historically that didn't happen. The name of Jesus lives just as he does and there is not a single argument this world can present to disprove the living testimonies of the martyrs.

Sorrry, he was plain old mortal and long gone physically. And even his story is highly corrupted by those that like money and know that selling an ages old great mystery creates lots of money for them.

Kinda hard to take them very seriously as being wise and not delusional, when Jesus' Big Daddy was the Clan of Anu.
They all were pretty much knocked off for trying to invent god from strange beings that were advanced, but not gods in the real sense of things.
Looks a lot like pagan nonsense with you trying to claim there was more.
No doubt Jesus survived the big tree nails, got nursed back to health using Myrrh. And then moved far far away from all the goof balls to the hills of Southern France.
I use Myrrh myself and it does work some near miracles on various health problems, but it still is just one of those special things in nature. Jesus' Daddy folks really liked it, as did all the big medicine types of the old days. It likely was the key for saving Jesus life and rapid recovery.
But, since you don't even know about that. You come up short of knowledge.

10) And I will pour upon the house of David, and upon the inhabitants of Jerusalem, the spirit of grace and of supplications: and they shall look upon me whom they have pierced, and they shall mourn for him, as one mourneth for his only son, and shall be in bitterness for him, as one that is in bitterness for his firstborn.
11) In that day shall there be a great mourning in Jerusalem, as the mourning of Hadadrimmon in the valley of Megiddon.

Seriously, the name is alive because Jesus is alive and risen; the people saw him, heard him, and touched him.
This is real, magnus.
I have littel doubt that Jesus was up and waking around a few days after his ordeal, and even showing off the holes of piercings of his body.
12) After that he appeared in ANOTHER FORM unto two of them, as they walked, and went into the country.
31 And their eyes were opened, and they knew him; and he vanished out of their sight.
50) And he led them out as far as to Bethany, and he lifted up his hands, and blessed them. 51) And it came to pass, while he blessed them, he was parted from them, and carried up into heaven.
26) And after eight days again his disciples were within, and Thomas with them: then came Jesus, the doors being shut, and stood in the midst, and said, Peace be unto you.

MagnumOpus, can you give me your interpretation of Zechariah 12, 13 & 14?
Specifically....
Zechariah 12:10-11
10) And I will pour upon the house of David, and upon the inhabitants of Jerusalem, the spirit of grace and of supplications: and they shall look upon me whom they have pierced, and they shall mourn for him, as one mourneth for his only son, and shall be in bitterness for him, as one that is in bitterness for his firstborn.
11) In that day shall there be a great mourning in Jerusalem, as the mourning of Hadadrimmon in the valley of Megiddon.

Valley of Megiddon, place of Armageddon, and ancient ancient city of Canaan that was assigned to the tribe of Manasseh and located on the southern rim of the plains of Esdraelon about six miles from Mount Carmel.

Hadad-Rimmon as a Prefigurement of Christ?
The 5th century writer Ambrosius Theodosius Macrobius described the gold statue of Hadad-rimmon, who he described as a sun-god, and the chief Syrian deity. (Saturnalia vol 1, 23) Hadad was a Phoenician deity, and Rimmon the matching Syrian deity.
-------
Yet Zechariah 12:11 says that the lamentations over one whom they pierced who caused them to look to God would be like the lamentations of Haddad-rimmon. It says that the lamentations -by Houses that include David's- over the pierced one would happen at a time of grace and supplication, when David's House would be as an angel. This lamenting over one who was pierced is not like abominable crying over a pagan deity.

Jesus did walk around after His death, but He did so while in His new heavenly body.

31 And their eyes were opened, and they knew him; and he vanished out of their sight.
Luke 24:50-51

26) And after eight days again his disciples were within, and Thomas with them: then came Jesus, the doors being shut, and stood in the midst, and said, Peace be unto you.
