Hi friends

The Gospel writers could not be inspired; they deserted Jesus at the hour of need. Did they desert Jesus from an inspiration from the “Holy Ghost”? Does the “Holy Ghost” inspire people against Jesus? It is a wrong notion that the Gospel writers had any inspiration. Do the Christian components of Trinity work against one another?

Thanks

  Hi
  Iam a Romancatholic from Birth.
  GHOST IS GHOST WHAT IS HOLYGHOST
  
  ONLY ONE THING IS HOLY [ i.e GODS PRESENT &POWER.]
  
  WE CAN FIND OUT WHERE ONE AND MORE PEOPLE GATHERED IN THE NAME OF JESUS .

  There is absolutely no way that you are or were Roman Catholic, I even doubt that you are Christian, because if you were Christian you would know that Jesus instructs us as a part of His Commission to us to baptize in the name of the Father, and in the name of the Son, and in the name of The Holy Ghost. Check your bible please.

  Iam not beliving that spritual Books are 100% correct.[Argument based on books is waste]
  
  Iam beliving GOD.
  
  GOD IS GOD
  
  GODS POWER[MAY BE HOLY SPRIT] WITH ABRAHAM - HE IS NOT GOD
  MOSES - HE IS NOT GOD
  SALAMON - HE IS NOT GOD
  JESUS - HE IS NOT GOD
  MOHAMED - HE IS NOT GOD
  
  NOW
  
  GODS POWER IS WITH US [ We have to USE not Test ]
  AFTER JESUS BLOOD [i.e Different type] SHATTERED ON OUR GLOBE
  
  WHY JESUS BLOOD SHATTERED UP TO LAST DROP.[Death is possible like other two THIEVS.]
  
  DEATH IS NOT IMPORTENT . BLOOD SHATTERED IS IMPORTENT. BLOOD SHATTERED IS STARTED AS SWETTING FROM JESUS BODY AT THE TIME OF GARDEN PRAYER.
  
  JESUS IS NOT DEAD IN CROSS .BUT WORK IS COMPLETED FOR US.
  ALL OUR DEAD PEOPLE ARE NOT DEAD .[like LAZARES ]
  
  BE HAPPY .

  The thieves legs and bones were broken not Jesus'; so the thieves died but Jesus bones were not broken but he was hurriedly taken to a solitary and spacious tomb to accommodate 3/4 persons. It was the property of one of Jesus' secret disciples; there Jesus was treated of injuries infilced to the Cross; hence Jesus did not a cursed death on Cross.
  
  Please see the difference.

  THE THIEVES LEGS WERE BROKENED BY THE SOLDIERS BEFORE DEATH. .BUT
  THE SOLDIERS ARE TESTED WITH ROD NEAR JESUS STOMECH.
  THEY WITNESED THE LAST DROP OF BLOOD AND WATER.
  
  AFTER PROPER PERMISSION AND TIME ONLY THE PEOPLE TAKEN AWAY THE BODY OF JESUS TO TOMP.
  
  THE OFFICIALS ARE NOT SATISFIED . SO THEY PUT SEAL AND GUARDED THE TOMB.

  Don't be so hard on him. I was raised in the Roman Catholic Church. We did use the term Holy Ghost and were never taught anything about the Holy Spirit. We were taught that the Father, Son, and Holy Ghost were the Holy Trinity, were one, separate and inseparable. By the way, the mass was in Latin, a little tricky for most kids to understand.
  It may be better explained using an analogy: the trinity is like the mind/father, heart/son, and soul/spirit. They are all the same person, separate but inseparable.
  The bottom line is this - love your brother as you would yourself. This was the main message the Heart came to give us. Apparently some of you didn't get the memo.

  Acts 1
  1The former treatise have I made, O Theophilus, of all that Jesus began both to do and teach,
  
  2Until the day in which he was taken up, after that he through the Holy Ghost had given commandments unto the apostles whom he had chosen:
  
  3To whom also he shewed himself alive after his passion by many infallible proofs, being seen of them forty days, and speaking of the things pertaining to the kingdom of God:
  
  4And, being assembled together with them, commanded them that they should not depart from Jerusalem, but wait for the promise of the Father, which, saith he, ye have heard of me.
  
  5For John truly baptized with water; but ye shall be baptized with the Holy Ghost not many days hence.
  
  6When they therefore were come together, they asked of him, saying, Lord, wilt thou at this time restore again the kingdom to Israel?

  3And there appeared unto them cloven tongues like as of fire, and it sat upon each of them.
  
  4And they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance.
  
  5And there were dwelling at Jerusalem Jews, devout men, out of every nation under heaven.
  
  This occurred after the crucifixion, so your question is unrelated.

I am a christian and I personally read and study the bible for myself, and I don't believe what any pastor say if it is not in line with the word of God. I am sorry, but you will not ever convince me to believe that Mary and Jesus didn't believe in the Trinity. How can Jesus not believe in the Trinity and he is a part of it? By the way, the holy ghost is Jesus spirit that lives inside of any believer that accepts Jesus in their life. I will be more than happy to give you the scriptures of all of this in the holy bible.

  Nope, but nice try.
  
  Doctrine #1) To be selfless or unselfish. To practice this in every aspect of life(which the religions of the world do not define in what manner), leads to being selfish. Human nature. Unattainable.
  
  Doctrine #2) To oppress desire. To practice this in every aspect of life(which the religions of the world do not define in what manner), leads to insanity. Biological fact.
  
  Doctrine #3) To believe in a god. To practice this in every aspect of life(which religions of the world say to do), leads to constant conflict, wars and selfish people. Not to mention, anyone who claims to have 100% faith/believe in a god is a liar, because it's human nature to have doubt.

I have so much knowledge you cannot imagine.. being on here is like being back in christianity 101 with all the whining upright monkies boo hooing and hissing and acting like children. Amusing, but i am growing weary of the lack of challenge refuting all you atheists bring to me.

The same thing over and over .. never any growth.. just concrete ignorance practicing at being more ignorant that 5 minutes ago on an ascending scale of ignorance without end.
  sad really.
  and yet you think you are doing a favor to something that doesn't exist. You have only one belief, kill the christian, maybe you should write a book about how you want to eliminate the bad, which would be christian and leave the good (atheist) only, to live on the planet and then i bet you would be right and holy to do so and that God would be unholy for putting christians on the planet and all you have done by your exterminations, (including babies) is to fix a problem.
  Yeh i gotta problem with your kind ruling the planet. You can't even handle being on hubpages without spitting out venom, i can imagine what you would do with an army and a country full of gold over there. I got news for ya buddy, the solution does not exist with your kind of carnal thinking, thats how this world got this way, what i see is churches helping people without strings or qualifications. I see god trying to improve things without forcing anybody, without being a hovering seeable dictator, but through ways that seem not to work, trust me, if not for the knowledge of god this world would be hell indeed.

  If you know anything, look into your religion, compare it to all the rest of the religions in the world-----oops, what you get is that they ALL have the SAME three doctrines to live by.
  
  Which you're failing, presently at doctrine #1- to be unselfish. You don't even realize that your own religious view has made you selfish. How ironic is that?
  
  Also, on a side note- fight against your own nature...is absurd. For ONE you have to figure out what your nature is? Secondly, you would have then define your existence, by providing yourself with a meaning and purpose for your life.

  lol.. how ridiculous your false information is. Maybe we need to define selfish for you so you can accurately apply it.
  devoted to or caring only for oneself; concerned primarily with one's own interests, benefits, welfare, etc., regardless of others.
  
  In no way do i represent any of this definition. My religious view has made me zealous but i do none of this from a selfish viewpoint. There's a world out there full of enticements i ignore, not because i am selfish. Discussing with you is like handling a sea urchin, bound to get pricked.
  
  your last paragraph i gotta ask. are you 10yrs old? because you come across that way. fighting against ones own nature is something that buddha teaches, many naturalists beliefs also say that being against human nature draws one closer to god, either the external god or (if there were one without god) the internal god. Fasting for example. My nature is certainly not as vehement as yours and never even before salvation would i run around spouting nonsense as you do. So, even as explained in the bible, my nature is known to me and i knew who i was and quite liked me, so again, i know my nature then and now, much preferring now to then. My existence is defined completely, you i assume still look for answers, or you are happy in your hopeless dreamland of being snuffed like a candle flame when the wick burns too low. yummy! lol. That will certainly become a self fulfilling prophecy lol. I have tons of meaning in my life.
  So please..... refrain from lying if you can or expostulating wrongness which you seem to have a propensity for.

  Inspiration does not preclude human free will, but works in harmony with it. Paul said that the spirit of the prophets was subject to the prophets, signifying that inspiration is meaningless unless it works in tandem with human choice. Insofar as the desertion by the disciples of Jesus at his trial etc. At this point in time they had not received the Holy Spirit. It was only after Christ's resurrection that the Holy Spirit was given to the world and they were anointed to carry out Christ's purpose.

  I believe Jesus came to demonstrate a set of principles, something we could actually understand. He had no hour of need. He was whole within himself and demonstrated divine love. The inspiration which came to the disciples can come to anyone. We are all divinely inspired when we tap into and stay connected to the most important of all human experience - love. The truest and most powerful force in the multiverse is love. The creator is love, we are love but we have forgotten how to rely on and demonstrate this in the true form. Everything is made of the same essence or energy - the same energy of which the creator is made. Those who seek must rely on the heart to guide them and they will come to this place. The holy spirit is love. The trinity of life is heart, soul, and mind. We as 'children' are offshoots of one divine presence and one with the divine, not separate. The books of every great religion will tell the same story - one of principles for a guided holy life.

  While not directly related to your question regarding the gospel writers, yes, the Bible is clear that God ie. the Holy Spirit does indeed -according to the Bible- harden peoples' hearts against God, Jesus, the gospel, etc.
  
  Many christians prefer to pretend the bible doesn't say this, or mean it, or to find some twisting explanation to write it off, but calvinists know it is true.
  
  Unconditional election. The saved were unconditionally elected to salvation, through no merit or choice of their own. The counterpoint of that is that the unsaved were unconditionally unelected, through no fault or choice of their own.
  
  God (the christian, biblical concept of God) saves who he will and damns who he will, and people have no part in this at all. There is no free will when it comes to election.
  
  Some offer twisting explanations. We all made our choice before we were born. We all picked sides before we were born, blah blah blah.
  
  Sorry, but no. I will not offer verse and chapter. It's common knowledge to anyone who has ever bothered really studying the Bible. If you seek to better understand, look up unconditional election. Some christian site or the other will direct you to the supporting quotes.

  and peter denied him 3xs before the rooster crowed, God knew ahead of time what was going to happen. Nothing surprises God. Peter was forgiven. The ones who fled were forgiven but hardly became rocks of the early church. The holy spirit may advise people to flee or the flesh may get scared; recall there was a cohort.. a cohort is about 400 people. 12 disciples amongst 400, a savior that was willing to go to the cross.. not good odds from a fleshly perspective, but peter thought they could win.
  But to have the holy spirit turn against jesus, is a strange question indeed because the answer without research is no.

  The inspiration for the writings of the books of the New Testament came after the divinity of Jesus, after he became Light. The word inspiration is taken from the word spirit. Something which we classify as Holy would not cause fear. The disciples fled Jesus' side out of fear of the military troops and others who would persecute them for following him. They were human, too, and none of us is perfect - yet.
  I believe we all have the potential to become Light once we reach the pure place of love. Fear and love cannot coexist in the same heart. When we feel inspired by love (the holy spirit of love which we allow in us)we are at our most benevolent, most creative, we are connected, literally connected to the divine. Do not assume the Christians or Jews or Buddhists or Muslims or anyone else cannot feel this. Divinity is within all of us if we would only remember.

In The NEW TESTAMENT of the Holy Bible,in the letter to the Romans written by the Apostle of Our Lord God,named Paul, in chapter 8 verse 31 states "...If God is for us, Who Can Be Against us?"
God is Father, God is Son, And God is Holy Spirit(Ghost).THREE IN ONE! He is OMNIPOTENT, OMNIPRESENT, and OMNISCIENT. If the Holy Spirit(Holy Ghost) is God the Father, and God the Son, Jesus, how in the universe can He cause(inspire) people to be against HIMSELF?! Jesus is the Truth, the Way and the Life. Jesus in the flesh died so that His SPIRIT (the HOLY GHOST)will live in us.
Thank you. I hope this is confusion is cleared up. CMCastro

Thank God you said, you are peaceful in your religion therefore, when you want to make statement pertaining to other religion it is proper for someone to actually ascertain your information properly before taking to the public so that we can also benefit from it. If you care to know then go through this:
  
  "He who is not with me is against me, and he who does not gather with me scatters. And so I tell you, every sin and blasphemy will be forgiven men, but the blasphemy against the Spirit will not be forgiven. Anyone who speaks a word against the Son of Man will be forgiven, but anyone who speaks against the Holy Spirit will not be forgiven, either in this age or in the age to come.

Why would the Holy Ghost or Spirit inspire people against Jesus? The Holy Ghost works in tandem with God and Jesus to save people. According to the bible, the Holy Ghost is called the "Great Comforter." When Jesus went back to his spiritual realms he left the Holy Ghost with believers to help them understand God's word, to act as a conscience in a way, and to comfort them.

  hmmm interesting because suckers, to me, believe what you believe. If you read the bible and all the things in leviticus that it shows as sinful you will get an understanding of holy, of course, your carnal mind and flesh will not like what you read and you will, probably as you have done before, disbelieve.
  You are a slave to your carnal mind and i am slave to christ. Which is best. What does your carnal mind say is best for you to do and what does christ say is best for me to do. I see we are opposites, and whereas i am steadfast you waver according to your desire. I think christ is best and deserves both titles of divine and holy.

  You obviously never studied psychology.
  Carl Jung who is the father of modern psychology became world renown writing literally hundreds of books.I have read all of them. His speciality was in trapping the truth about situations by using truckloads of empirical evidence as building blocks for theories and development of his therapy.
  
  He was a master of gathering, compiling and proving up theories by sourcing them from diverse cultures and contributors then compare with his own findings.
  
  Religiosity is a response to a fear reaction in the brain, and much more complex myths live within the brain than something as insignificant as the bible.
  
  The bible is a relatively simple construct when compared with what the subconscious is capable of producing in just one night.

  Nobody ever admits anything. But peoples' thinking can and does change. 20 years ago only about 10% of the american population thought gay marriage should be allowed. But with the internet people started talking about it and debating it, and religious dupes slowly started changing their minds. Today 51% of the american people believe gay marriage should be allowed.
  
  But I bet that vast majority of the 40% who changed their minds never publicly admitted it.
