John 16:13, “Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak: and he will shew you things to come.”
Six times the blessed Holy Spirit is referred to as “He.” All three members of the Godhead (aka, the “Trinity” in theology) is masculine in nature. The Holy Spirit in several verses in the book of John is referred to with the masculine pronoun “He.” I have heard some preachers teach that the woman in a home represents the Holy Spirit. I have no problem with that. Pastor Jack Hyles used that analogy in His helpful book titled: “Meet The Holy Spirit.” Chapter 31 is called: “Woman, The Holy Spirit Of The Family.” Dr. Hyles in no way is teaching that God has a feminine side. He is simply teaching that a woman sets the atmosphere in her home, whether it be one of peace and love, or anxiety and anger.
So remember, there is no feminine aspect of the Godhead. Witches, Kabballah, Ying-yang, some Lutherans, some Roman Catholics, Feminist Theology, the occult and numerous other heathen groups, teach that God has a female side. Leonard Nimoy (1931-2015) believed in a goddess aspect of God, which drove him into a weird form of sensual pagan worship. Literally, Mr. Nimoy (famously known as “Spock” from the Star Trek series) had a hobby of photographing obese naked woman laying across his dinning room table.
Believing Wrong Will Send You To Hell
I am not judging Leonard Nimoy, God forbid. The Bible already condemns all of humanity as depraved sinners (Romans 3:10-23). John 3:18, “He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.” We are all guilty sinners. That is why God gave mankind the Old Testament LAW, to show humanity our guilty condition and desperate need for a Savior (Romans 3:19-20; Galatians 3:19, 24-26). God is a holy, just and righteous God. God understands better than anyone our human weaknesses. Psalms 103:14, “For he knoweth our frame; he remembereth that we are dust.”
Therefore, God is very reasonable and fair with man, willing and even offering to sit down and talk things through, to come to a meeting of the minds. Isaiah 1:18, “Come now, and let us reason together, saith the LORD: though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they be red like crimson, they shall be as wool.” I love that Scripture passage. God is inviting all humans to Himself. God wants to be on friendly terms with everyone (2nd Peter 3:9). The only thing that prevents any living human from being close to God is sin! Isaiah 59:1-2, “Behold, the LORD's hand is not shortened, that it cannot save; neither his ear heavy, that it cannot hear: But your iniquities have separated between you and your God, and your sins have hid his face from you, that he will not hear.”
That is why Jesus came into the world and went to the cross, to bridge the gap between sinful man and a holy God. 1st Timothy 2:5-6, “For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus; Who gave himself a ransom for all, to be testified in due time.” Romans 5:1-2, “Therefore being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ: By whom also we have access by faith into this grace wherein we stand, and rejoice in hope of the glory of God.” No one has ever gone to Heaven any other way, than by grace through faith in Jesus Christ.
I am saddened that Leonard Nimoy was not a born-again Christian. His religion was Judaism, which denies that Jesus is the Messiah. Judaizers are still awaiting their messiah, which will be the Man of Sin, the Antichrist, when he appears (Daniel 9:27; 2nd Thessalonians 2:1-10; Revelation 13:15-17). God is so wonderful. He offers grace freely to all mankind. Micah 7:18, “Who is a God like unto thee, that pardoneth iniquity, and passeth by the transgression of the remnant of his heritage? he retaineth not his anger for ever, because he delighteth in mercy.” No one will ever be able to blame God if they spend eternity burning in Hell. 2nd Timothy 2:13, “If we believe not, yet he abideth faithful: he cannot deny himself.” Dear friend, God is freely offering to you His grace just for the taking, by faith.
Believing wrong will send you to Hell dear reader. In Judaism, the concept of forgiveness is not based on the merits of the blood of Jesus Christ; but rather, upon ourselves improving our behavior to please the God of the Old Testament. In Judaism, forgiveness is not sought through the cross of Calvary, as it is in Bible Christianity. John 14:6, “Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.”
Salvation Is Obtained Only Through Faith In The Name Of Jesus Christ
Salvation is only obtained through the name of Jesus. Acts 4:10-12, “Be it known unto you all, and to all the people of Israel, that by the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, whom ye crucified, whom God raised from the dead, even by him doth this man stand here before you whole. This is the stone which was set at nought of you builders, which is become the head of the corner. Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved.” John 15:23, “He that hateth me hateth my Father also.” Jesus is precious to every believer. 1st Peter 2:7, “Unto you therefore which believe he is precious: but unto them which be disobedient, the stone which the builders disallowed, the same is made the head of the corner,”
