Amen 1 Peter 3:18- 20 The text also teaches us the lovely simple truth of Christ preached by his OWN Spirit . Unlike the idea of the Spirit being a third entity...of which they call 'god the spirit'. Right?

Hi! Thanks for your comment. I’m not sure where you get the idea of the Spirit being a third entity called ‘god the spirit.’ (Maybe this is more of a semantics thing, and I don’t know if you’re referring to God the Holy Spirit.) By this if you are referring to my comment that the “Spirit of Jesus was God’s Spirit” present during the time of Noah, then, yes, Jesus’s own Spirit proclaimed during the time of Noah. The only reason for adding God’s Spirit was that if we look at the Old Testament passages where the Spirit of God or the Spirit of the Lord is mentioned, is it always clear from the perspective of the Old Testament, or, for that matter, even from the perspective of the New Testament, which person of the Triune Godhead is at work spiritually (or in the Spirit), unless there is a clear mention of either the work of the Holy Spirit or some other person in the Trinity (as in Jesus’ Spirit in 1 Peter 3)? All of this is to say that the three persons of the Triune Godhead did participate together in the Old Testament. (Some may limit the work of the Holy Spirit to the New Testament, which I don’t agree with.) And even if the three persons of the Triune Godhead participated together in everything in the Old Testament, did they all equally participate together or was some activity of some person more pronounced than the other? I don’t know if I have a definitive answer to this.

@@brennankgangmei Thank you kindly for your reply. Myself, I do not see in scripture, old or new testament, a third entity/ deity outside of the Father and the Son. For now I would like to leave with you two texts to compare and collate if you may. They are on this matter of the Spirit of Christ being the same As the Spirit of God. The two texts are also in Peter's epistle. I find that the two explain and elucidate each other. They are... 1 Peter 1:11. 2 Peter 1 :21.
