Spices added to oil to make it fragrant (those were spices by the way) Mixing in spices does not change the oil one bit. They just give off their own fragrance. A compound in science is something that is created out of different elements to make an entirely new substance with unique new properties. A mixture is putting elements together that still retain their individual properties. There is no such thing as a compound Spirit. This is Lee's concoctive interpretation. Wish I had more time. Besides the fact that he is wrongly interpreting this mixture to be a "compound," there is no basis in scripture for such an interpretation that the Spirit of God was later improved upon. You keep insisting that John 7:37-39 is such, but we have already shown that Lee's interpretation of the John 7 verses is faulty.
Out of time.

The Word says "an ointment compound" --
Quote:
Exodus 30
25And thou shalt make it an oil of holy ointment, an ointment compound after the art of the apothecary: it shall be an holy anointing oil.

The Spirit in John 7:39 "was not yet" because the Lord Jesus Christ was not yet glorified. Afer the Lord Jesus Christ's glorification through death and resurrection, as well as ascension, the Spirit was no longer the Spirit of God with divine essence, but now became the Spirit of Jesus Christ, indicating the humanity of Jesus Christ was added to the Spirit.

The Spirit was first the Spirit of God, possessing only the divine essence. But after God in the Son became a man and died on the cross, passing through death and resurrection and entering into ascension, the Spirit became the Spirit of Jesus Christ (Phil. 1:19), compounded with God's essence and Jesus' humanity and His death and resurrection. The Spirit no longer has just the divine essence, but now has, in addition, Jesus' humanity with the death of Christ, the effectiveness of His death, the resurrection, and the power of His resurrection.
