figure it is best to directly ask Christians this. Although I was once Christian and thought I was fairly well versed in the bible. I can not recall ever reading such. I'm not seeking to make this a debate and will not engage in one if the thread wanders of.

Hi Woodrow! I was just reading the other day where, in Acts, Paul says that the Holy Spirit testified to him that he would not be seeing the Ephesian church again. They cried and were terribly sad over that news as they said goodbye to him for the last time... they must have loved him dearly.

Acts 8:29
The Spirit told Philip, "Go to that chariot and stay near it."

Acts 10:19
While Peter was still thinking about the vision, the Spirit said to him, "Simon, three men are looking for you.

Acts 13:2
While they were worshiping the Lord and fasting, the Holy Spirit said, "Set apart for me Barnabas and Saul for the work to which I have called them."

I should have included verse 20 with Acts 10:19 to include the entire quote...

verse 20: So get up and go downstairs. Do not hesitate to go with them, for I have sent them.”

Default God's holy spirit

In both the Old and New Testament, the Holy Spirit refers to only an aspect of God the Father. The Holy Spirit didn't become a separate person until the Trinity was invented.

As an example, we can observe in Genesis:

Gen 1:1-2 In the beginning God created heaven, and earth. [2] And the earth was void and empty, and darkness was upon the face of the deep; and the spirit of God moved over the waters (DR)
