---Involvement, Looking for the sinners and lost
sheep, Incarnation and today the Presence of God until the Second Coming. ---Presence of God until the Second Coming? ---Yes. The DBA of the Trinity. ---Have you ever heard of the DBA of the
Trinity? No? Now you do. ---It is simple mathematics of the Bible. ---When Jesus was asked “show us the
Father”. He answered. I have been with you so long and you ask Me to show you
the Father? ---If you saw Me, Jesus said, you have seen
the Father. ---What does this mean? DBA. Doing business
as. Jesus was doing the Father’s business on earth as if the Father is here. =
Presence. Correct? ---So then it was time for Christ to leave
and He promised to be with them until the end of the earth. ---How do you leave and be a presence at the
same time? Simple. He did it with the Father. He is now going to do it through
the Holy Spirit. ---When I leave, He said, I will sent you
the Holy Spirit. What does this mean? DBA. Doing business as. The Holy Spirit
is doing Jesus and the Father’s business on earth as if Jesus and the Father
are here. = Presence. Correct? ---But people are saying that there are only
two namely Jesus and the Father. The Spirit is just a power not a person. ---Sorry. ---The Spirit has anthropomorphic aspects:
searches deep things of God (1 Cor 2:10); teaches (1 Cor 2:13); dwells in you
(1 Cor 3:16, Rom 8:9, Rom 8:11); whom God has given (Acts 6:32 hon = which);
spoke (Acts 8:29, Acts 13:2 in the Codex Bezae Cantabrigiensis[not a Good Greek
Manuscript]); caught away Philip (Acts 8:39); bade to go (Acts 11:12); sent forth
(Acts 13:4); spoke through David (Acts 1:16, 20 and Nehemiah 9:20); mortify
(Rom 8:13); lead (Rom 8:14); bear
witness (Rom 8:16); make intercession (Rom 8:26); helps infirmities (Rom 8:26);
groans with no sound (Rom 8:26); love of Spirit (Rom 15:30); mind of the Spirit
(Rom 8:27). ---The space or zone of the Spirit is the
temple of body (1 Cor 3:16; 6:19; Rom 8:11, 8:9). Earth in Acts 7:55; Christ
the Father is in heaven. ---There is one Spirit not many (1 Cor 6:17).
One Father and One Jesus (1 Cor 8:6). ---The Spirit is Lord (2 Cor 3:17; Acts 13:2
and 13 and 13:47. ---The Holy Spirit is also Creator (John
1:1-2). ---The Spirit is God (Acts 5:3) compared
with verse 4. ---Spirit is embodied truth (John 15:26) ---Spirit is identical emanation of Christ?
I send Myself? (X) I send another (o). John 14:16. ---Spirit testify of Christ = DBA of Christ
but is not Christ (John 15:26). ---The Spirit fills, fruit, gift, baptized,
receive, prophecy, law of the Spirit, newness of the Spirit, joy and peace
through the Spirit (Rom 15:13); sanctifies, love of God is through the Spirit
(Rom 5:5); words and preaching (1 Cor 2:4). ---Spoke Christ through Holy Spirit (Acts
1:12). ---Can you now see the DBA as separate
person of the Divine Trio in Heaven
(using Ellen White’s words in Evangelism
and Desire of Ages)? ---All three are God. All three have Agape
love. All three are Lord. All three are Creators. All three are involved in the
Plan of Salvation. All three have presence in us through each other DBA. ---Some people say Lucifer is the third member
of the Trio. Sorry. He is not Lord, not God, but a creature. Cannot be part of
the Divine Trio. Divine? No creature is divine. Sorry. ---Is that clear enough?
