How to Understand the Holy Spirit (N. T. Wright Q&A)

[justinwall]

I like how at 3:39, right after he quoted Jesus saying “if anyone is thirsty they should come to him and drink, ” a guy passes by in the background and drinks from his water bottle 😂😂

[DonCirilo]

3:39 - when he said "come and drink" someone in the background walk by and drink in a bottle... Nice.

Less than 100 comments? This man is saying almost everything that needs to be said about the Christian Faith.

[lukewagner]

It is evident to me this man has the Holy Spirit.
John 17:23 KJVS
[23] I in them, and thou in me, that they may be made perfect in one; and that the world may know that thou hast sent me, and hast loved them, as thou hast loved me.
Galatians 3:14 KJVS
[14] That the blessing of Abraham might come on the Gentiles through Jesus Christ; that we might receive the promise of the Spirit through faith.
Acts 3:25-26 KJVS
[25] Ye are the children of the prophets, and of the covenant which God made with our fathers, saying unto Abraham, And in thy seed shall all the kindreds of the earth be blessed. [26] Unto you first God, having raised up his Son Jesus, sent him to bless you, in turning away every one of you from his iniquities.

Thank you Sir for a very clear understanding of the Holy Spirit.

[earlbig]

This is the best talk ever. Thank you!

[duncescotus]

The mark of an Apostle is to articulate the universality of the Christian faith.

[noarak-st-floor]

the man is gifted and oozes with intelligence!
thank you!

[tecomaman]

my word is spirit and life, the spirit is the word in you with power

[Restorationacceptanc]

Im sorry to hear you misquote scripture...

[simonskinner]

Judaeo-Christianity is a Spiritual Church and the face of the Holy Spirit is the congregation. We are baptised by the Father as Acts 15:8, for our confession of faith in Christ, guided by the Holy Spirit.

[Restorationacceptanc]

I was sorry to hear you misquote scripture, to reinforce you view

[MethodistPreacher]

A great theologian! His brief presentation on the Holy Spirit. Many relegate the Holy Spirit’s work to the book of Acts and forming a limited often biased doctrine of the Holy Spirit. But to see the wider Person and ministry of the Holy Spirit through the whole of Holy Scripture broadens the understanding of the Holy Spirit and cancels so many misconceptions and doctrinal failures.

I feel like I just read an entire book in 6 minutes. This dude can data dump like none other...and yet, it is also incredibly refreshing. Love it.

[sophianikolai]

Does NT wright believe belivers have the holy spirit indwelling in them?

[mathateuo]

The Spirit produces Life, real life, authentic life, divine life in those who trust in Jesus (John 3:3; Roman's 8) If your life hasn't changed. you have to question if you have truly received Jesus.

One what and three who or one what and two who. ? .
One nature/being, I have a nature and my son has the same nature from me! We are two persons but one nature/being !

[thelordsdayministry]

If you want to understand the Trinity go to The Lord's Day Ministry. God gave me a revelation that perfectly explains it.

New movement? There’s nothing new under the sun.

Good theology... but there seems to be something off centre in it.. i think its his lack of sense of "power" in Holy Spirit. That the Spirit always comes dynamically.. to bring ppl to God. His thrust is more mundane on new creation in the world... which equates to social action. .. or presence. Thats not the testimony of Acts.. none had the Spirit but those who visibly experience his presence. Wright needs to reread Gordon Fee (his friend) on the dynamic (and that the temple is the LOCAL church not the whole or universal church)and James Dunn (his collegue) on Acts. Many who fill our churches have never experienced the Spirit.(Acts 8:18, Galatians 3:2 & 5, 1Thess 4:8) and as such do nothing of kingdom work...Jesus work is preach the gospel, cast out demons and heal the sick.. miraculously and dynamically None of that can be done without the Spirit...never known Wright to do this.. perhaps he does
