oldman,
Genesis 1:26 does not say that Adam had the indwelling Holy Spirit. It says man was made in God's image and likeness. Nowhere does it say or infer that man was made with God indwelling him.
If the eternal Spirit of truth that governs all creation was never given to Adam then he would never have been made perfect in the image and likeness of God (Father, Son
and Holy Spirit),
Whoever denies this will deny anything.
Adam was made in God's image with the Spirit of truth being the heart of his personality.
I have been and still am, willing to cooperate but you show contempt and hatred for the truth when it stares you in the face. You also refuse to explain what you believe in.
Do you seriously then expect me to answer this:
“Please explain when you got this spirit inside you, and how it got inside you”?

Tell me what you believe is the essence and character of the Spirit of truth and I will start taking you seriously.
The hypocrites avoid explaining what they believe for fear of being exposed.
Actually, Oldman
The burden of proof is in your court to prove, not Rick’s.
Why –
Truth is – you made an assertion and
Truth demands that you back it up.
Genesis 1:26 speaks contextually of God designing human beings to be a reflection – an ambassador – to govern the limited sphere of this earth as His representative. God did not make humanity another god, equal with him, or greater. He fashioned human beings to reflect his likeness in governing – how – by having dominion of the earth, etc…
Gen 1:26 NKJV,
"Then God said, "Let Us make man in Our image, according to Our likeness; let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, over the birds of the air, and over the cattle, over all the earth and over every creeping thing that creeps on the earth."
You see, this is very simple, and contextually sound and true to the Genesis account and ancient Hebrew Vocabulary.
Next, the truth is that God breathed into Adam the breath of Life – and not the Holy Spirit. If God had actually placed the Holy Spirit in Adam the text would read quite differently.
Gen 2:7 NKJV,
And the LORD God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living being.
The breath of life is different from the Holy Spirit. The book of Job reveals this principle of Truth:
But there is a spirit in man, And the breath of the Almighty gives him understanding. Job 32:8 NKJV
There is a spirit of Man and it is that spirit that was breathed into Adam and from Gen 1:26-28 we pass this spirit of life, our human spirit, to our progeny as God gave the command/promise.
Zec 12:1 NKJV,
The burden of the word of the LORD against Israel. Thus says the LORD, who stretches out the heavens, lays the foundation of the earth, and forms the spirit of man within him.
Note also Proverbs 18:14 and 1 Co2:11 as well too shows there is a difference between a spirit of man and God's Holy Spirit.
Also the bible says this too: there are false spirits too
Micah 2:11 NKJV,
If a man should walk in a false spirit And speak a lie, saying, 'I will prophesy to you of wine and drink,' Even he would be the prattler of this people.
And it is written as a command that we…
1 John 4:1 NKJV,
Beloved, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits, whether they are of God; because many false prophets have gone out into the world.
Now oldman, the spirit you speak of that tells you to prattle with cannabis, a mind bending substance, telling all, it is okay to use is no different than what Micah wrote of in Micah 2:11.
That is why, Rick and others here on this Forum ask you –
by which spirit do you speak?
There are spirits that masquerade as a holy spirit but these never identify themselves as belonging to the Godhead as the Lord YHYH Yeshua who came in Human Flesh and defeated all the works of the evil one. That is Truth.
False holy spirits rather spout and claim identity with such things as truth, but act so ungod like by their angry words, threats, false accusations, ploys of acting self righteous, and playing the martyr card. In other words seek to draw folks after some mode of destruction of mind and soul as Micah 2:11 mentions.
We who know the Real LORD YHWH Jehovah God, Yeshua – Jesus the Christ are called upon to test the spirits. So we have legal right, and command form the Lord to test your spirit and that is why we ask – what spirit is in you.
The one you demonstrate does not comply with the bible, or the LORD of HOST.
Correct?
Do you know who I am?
