I was at an intensive for my Bible College course last week for three days. It was an intensive on the Holy Spirit and it was quite interesting. Rather than the usual style I'm used to where you just get fed doctrines and beliefs, this course allowed us to think about things for ourselves. The facilitator put ideas and concepts to us and allowed us to explore them.
Here's something I've been thinking about...
It would take ages to develop the idea but I'll give it a quick explanation. The top diagram is our usual view and perception of God. God is triune, three in one, the trinity. Father, Son & Spirit. The bottom diagram is then the application or outworking of God in the World. The concept isn't perfect, but it's thought provoking: Father & Son operate at the top supernatural level, above the spirit world and above the human world. The Holy Spirit operates at all three levels, God's supernatural level, the spirit world-supranatural level and the human world, natural level. God's level operates independently, the Spirit level (Supranatural) operates independently and the human level (natural) operates independently but obviously God oversees it all and interacts with it all by his Spirit.
This raises questions like, what does the supranatural level contain and why/how do they interact with the natural level? The presumption would be that this level contains satan, demons, angels etc. But why do they interact at the natural level at times?
Is there redemption for the spirits in supranatural level?
Hmm, ok maybe I can't explain it at all! I guess it is late!
