The spirit problem gets reiterated over and over. Take for instance the simpler matter of the spirit of God. Is the spirit of God God? I would say yes. So then when we say "spirit of god" is there one entity or two? If we say one then why not say simply God? If we say two, spirit and God, then the two must be distinct in some way. In some sense the Spirit must not be identical with God. Then in what way are the two distinct? If we say that the spirit is the essence of God then is the spirit an aspect of God? Then what of the remainder of God? Isn't the remainder also spirit? Then why talk of spirit at all.It is impossible to overestimate incomprehensibility of God. The Spirit of God is no less incomprehensible. The Triune God is more impossible still. When I think I have grasped it, it slides through my fingers. I think those that claim they understand God are deluded. Sometimes Witness Lee would call the Triune God a mystery, but then he would go on to claim that others were wrong about it and he was right. If Lee or Gaffin or Edwards admitted they didn't know who would follow them? I don't want followers so I can admit it.
