There were was 27 people that read my last post so far. One answer.
How would you identify Christ? if He came today or the Holy Spirit.
A. as a human being
B. as an alien
C. as a superhuman being
D. Or other?
I'm not positive that I understand your question;
But I'll give it my best shot,
I believe that no one will see Christ because of the Word until He return again.
The Holy Spirit will manifest in many ways that we can not
imagine unless we are in a close relationship with Him,Jesus promised that He would send us the "Comforter,
Mediator eyc. to help us, because He knew that we would not be able to fight this battle and walk like Him unless we had the Holy Spirit to assist us step by step. He does manifest Himself in many ways to men, the Word also alluded to angels that entertain us unaware, (they appear in shape and form) when we are least likely to suspect them,
Proverbs 8:22 has this to say
Who is this wisdom who speaks in our first reading? She says, “The Lord begot me as the firstborn of His ways…. For of old I was poured forth, at the first, before the earth…. Before the mountains were settled into place…. When He established the heavens I was there.” (Prov 8:22-27) Who is this wisdom?
Thus Jesus and the Father reveal themselves by dwelling in the hearts of those who love them. In love, the divine Persons are at home in people’s love for them. And God greatly delights in this. He pours out His own love into our hearts and fills us with delight in Him. St. Paul says, “God’s own love is poured out into our hearts by the Holy Spirit whom He has given to us.” (Rom 5:5) We know God most intimately by His presence within us—giving Himself to us in love.
The Holy Spirit dwelling in us brings us into ever clearer and more loving knowledge of God the Father and God the Son. That was the theme of today’s Gospel. “The Spirit of Truth’ said Jesus “will glorify me, because He will take what is mine and declare it to you.” (Jn 16:13) That is, the Spirit will reveal to us the Son. But in revealing the Son, he will be revealing the Father, because, says Jesus, “Everything that the Father has is mine.” (Jn 16:13) All the Father’s divine life is in the Son, and the Spirit manifests all this to us.
The Spirit “will guide you into all truth” (Jn 16:13) by causing you to experience the love and presence of the three divine Persons within you.
Thus God’s revelation of Himself in creation, and in His living presence among us as Word made Flesh, is completed only in the three divine Persons’ living presence in our hearts, where He is at home in our love.
Love always delights in revealing self to the beloved. God finds wonderful joy and delight in revealing Himself to our loving hearts, [that we may delight in Him]!

God Bless You
Hello in greetings to you, Thank you by friend, very good answer
So if Holy Spirit wanted to manifest himself to the individual, to communicate as you say, as in the ancient days, does Jesus have the power to talk, to a person on a one on one base, and if came to pass, and follow every instruction how to tell the difference between different spirit and a true spirit. In the spirit fills in all the qualification in the Word of God, and wanted to get things moving, how do you convince a world with skeptic and doubts to begin or to finish the works of Christ.
Well;
I can't explain this,
I notice that you mention the Holy Spirit as past tense "In ancient days"
God is the same God yesterday, today, and forever.
what He did in ancient days He is still able to do, there's nothing new under the sun.
and lastly I can't expect to convince the world" to begin or finish the works of Christ" if they have not first believed in Him and accepted Him as a personal Savior..
(unless I misunderstood you)
When Christ returns, everyone will know it, and every knee will bow. The Holy Spirit reveals Himself daily through the Word.
Rep Ya;
mzjamiedawn
When it's all said and done , at least every knee shall bow and every tongues shall confess, that Jesus Christ (Yeshoua
Hamaschiach) is Lord!!!!
Forgive me Word Is One
I did misunderstand your thread
I read it to mean something else (*_*) =<><
Hello in greetings to you, thank you
Here is one of my posts that I gave a question to the people only one answer, what I'm trying to do, and God gave an opportunity to an individual that experience a very powerful phenomenon, and said it is time. Meaning the Holy Spirit came to this individual, to fulfill and complete the Gospel.
please bear with me.
A question I put to people.
If God chosen a person to be a prophet, but has no knowledge of the Word of God, but is given the gift of works and prophecy to this person. How would you welcome him in this new age? And if God had sent the Holy Spirit to you what will you do? How would you treat such a person, that this person actually had the cure for cancer, and what will you do? If the world was going to end the following year, and a prophet came to proclaim the end of time, and he can bring followers to Jesus so they've may be saved. What would you do? Please don't answer this question right away; I would like you to think very hard if you were given the opportunity. In the old days about 36 prophets came to Israel when Israel was compressed by their enemies, because they serve other gods, and they would call out for God to deliver them from their enemies, and each time God send at prophet to give them the true! They were all killed. What would you do if God send a prophet in this time of age to give you a cure? But this prophet can communicate at any time with the Holy Spirit and receive instructions and messages from him, what would you do?
