Comments and Answers!

I have been blessed by the recent comments I have been receiving on this site. I have enjoyed everything including the comment on one page that said my lettering is too huge. I need that stuff!
In that particular case, I took a moment to answer that comment with an explanation. I did that by the simple method of posting a "comment" of my own. I kind of thought that would be an excellent way to answer those comments that don't require a whole page.


I have received another comment with a wonderful question attached. The kind of question that fires me up and makes my inquisitive mind want to run amok searching things out.

Unfortunately it is late and I do not -at this very moment- have the time to answer the comment on all the different topics that it touches base on. Like the Trinity. Not a concept or a topic to be taken lightly to be sure. Also it touches on what our concepts of who and what The Holy Spirit is. Again, not a subject to be taken lightly. As this wonderful comment pointed out- with much grace-, I had made a mistake by omission and felt that at least, should be corrected immediately.

So as I was posting my comment in answer it occurred to me that perhaps I should post something on the main page to let you know where to look for answers to your comments should they require one.
If it doesn't require a full front page answer to be given right away, then look for an answer in a comment box below the one you post.
In this case, and for an example, I have both posted a reply comment in the normal comment area and copied and pasted both comments below.

You had written " My ultimate desire to have a 'real' relationship with God the Father and Jesus His Risen son. " So I ask, what about knowing the Holy Spirit. (He might want you to know Him?) Or maybe you don't know about Him? Or some don't consider the Holy Spirit as a person? What is your comment about this?

To: "e",

This is really a question of "Trinity". Certainly I know and Love the Holy Spirit. It is true that I think of the Holy Spirit differently than I do God the Father and Jesus His Son. I think of them each differently while knowing they are one and the same. In retrospect I made an error. When I stated my quest to "...Know God the Father and Jesus His Risen Son..." in my mind that automatically meant I am striving for a better relationship with The Holy Spirit. I am in fact relying in The Holy Spirit to be the means by which I am able to grow closer to The Lord. You were correct to point that out, only your question doesn't stop there.
For the moment I can only give you this short answer to a very good question that can be too easily misunderstood. I will see if I can post something more authoritative in the future if The Lord wills.
Thank you for your comment
Will
