But is that a true realization? My point is that I don't see this as a clear teaching anymore. What does it mean that Jesus is "the life-giving Spirit"? Is that a title, or a Person, or an entity, or what? If Jesus is the life-giving Spirit, what is the Holy Spirit? The same Spirit, or a different Spirit?

I'm not saying I know the answers - that's why I'm bringing it up for discussion. But the context of 1 Cor. 15 doesn't seem to back up this claim. It makes more sense to say that Jesus became a life-giving spirit, in the sense that he had a spiritual body or form. Not that His nature, title, or person was changed.

This is why Lee was accused of modalism, because he indicated that Christ changed into the life-giving Spirit in His resurrection. I can see that Christ sent the Holy Spirit, but not that He became the life-giving Spirit (a new version of the Holy Spirit).

What's sad for me, Ohio, is that there were numerous times I experienced what appeared to be an amazing revelation under Lee's ministry, and this was an example (Christ becoming the life-giving Spirit). And I now think that it was most likely a false teaching. The emotional enthusiasm was deceptive.
