What I cannot agree with is that humanity was added to the Holy Spirit, otherwise it would mean that the Holy Spirit now has a human body. Witness Lee also taught that the humanity of Jesus is now in our spirit. Does it mean that Jesus' glorified body is in my spirit? How do you understand humanity? Witness Lee understood it as human nature. So it follows that I have my own human nature, but in addition to this I have Jesus' human nature in my spirit.  |
The Holy Spirit is Spirit. The Lord Jesus became flesh in His incarnation and became a life-giving Spirit in His death and resurrectiion.
You must have easily forgotten about the 9 same phrases of "It is as the Spirit" as was provided in my earlier post.

The Spirit we have received is not merely the Spirit of God possessing solely the divine element. The Spirit we Christians have received is the Spirit compounded with divinity, humanity, human living, suffering, crucifixion, resurrection, and ascension. God is in the Spirit. The uplifted humanity of Jesus and His human living and suffering are also in the Spirit. Christ's death, resurrection, and ascension are all in this one Spirit, so with this Spirit there is the bountiful supply. Paul could suffer persecution and imprisonment because of the bountiful supply of the Spirit of Jesus Christ. This supply became his personal and daily salvation. Even in chains and prison he still magnified Christ and lived Christ (Phil. 1:19-21a). He magnified Christ, not by his energy or by his own strength, but by the bountiful supply of the Spirit of Jesus Christ.
