What exactly is the holy spirit supposed to be, and what is its role beyond being a third of God? I've got a decent understanding behind the father and the son, but the details on the ghost still escape me.

its the god part inside of your heart.
t. universalist faggot
The Holy Spirit is represented by a dove, which in turn is a symbol of Asherah, the Hebrew goddess-wife of Yahweh
The Hebrew name for the Holy Spirit is "Ruach ha-Qadesh", "Qadesh" is an epithet for the mother-goddess Queen of Heaven Asherah and she was worshiped as "Qetesh" by the Egyptians
The Trinity originally represented the family unit, Father, Mother, and Child
Goddess worship was repressed however as Asherah's cult was seen as too powerful by the priests of Yahweh, who wanted to emphasize his power by making him the only true god, all other deities being demons in actuality so Asherah became Ashtoreth a lower demon in service to the fallen one
Monotheism destroys the rich mythology of the great pantheon of gods who could represent unique individual archetypes, rather than just one bland god that's suppose to represent everything and thus at the same time nothing in particular
Reconnect with the Goddess and know her true name and identity

Wah, so now Yahweh is fucking himself?

Yahweh has become a monstrosity
There are parts in the Bible that even ascribe feminine characteristics to Yahweh, I believe they mention "his womb" and being nourished by his "breasts"
He has become a misshapen hermaphrodite that no longer desires a family having sacrificed his wife and child for more power yet has lost all sense of his original self
He wants to be father and mother, he wants to be both the old and respected father but also the young and energetic child
He's less of a god now and more of an abstracted concept, a far cry from the warrior lord of heaven sky god he originally was

>a third of God
HERETIC!
>>824513
>modernist paganism
It's God's secret part that impregnates "virgins"
Basically imagine Casper the friendly ghost but with a halo, that's it.
The Holy Spirit is the person of God who acts through believers.

Gotta love "beliefs about the Bible" by people who've never read it. Even worse than protestants.

You can grieve the Holy Spirit.
You can lie to the Holy Spirit.
The Holy Spirit speaks.
The Holy Spirit expresses feelings.
The Holy Spirit is a person; a member of the Trinity, against Whom blasphemy is unpardonable.

There's nothing modernist about this, the concept of a Holy Spirit has its origins in the worship of Asherah who formed a family triad with Yahweh and Baal
Asherah was demoted to being a demonic spirit and her role as Ruach ha-Qadesh was taken by Yahweh in the abstracted concept of an ambiguous spirit rather than a divine mother
The Gnostics later conceptualized the Holy Spirit as a woman once again with the goddess of wisdom Sophia, essentially Asherah reborn, this time as the Mother of the Demiurge Yaldabaoth who in turn created this world

>Isaiah 49:15 King James Version (KJV)
>15 Can a woman forget her sucking child, that she should not have compassion on the son of her womb? yea, they may forget, yet will I not forget thee.
It means the recognition that we live in a sick world...when nice guys like us can't get a good girlfriend who knows her place...then, and only then, society is doomed...
Oh father, father...why have you forsaken us...why is it that, you turned your back on us when we needed you the most...I must go now, if you want to be redpilled like me...a mere reading of the book of Daniel will do...it wil simply blow your mind...

> his womb
> his breast
> not understand symbolism
I find that Church Fathers really helpfull on these types of questions. Especially the Cappadocian Fathers who were trying to defend the faith while wrestling with how to express it to the larger hellenistic world. Try St. Basil, On The Holy Spirit.

>Can a woman forget her sucking child, that she should not have compassion on the son of her womb? yea, they may forget, yet will I not forget thee.
>yea, they may forget
>yea, they may forget
He's claiming his eternal covenant to be superior and not even close to a maternal bond, and the fragility and weakness thereof.
God is not your mother, especially not one of the child-abandoning kind.
It's the kind of verse you'd think would show up in a "Jews are misogynists" kind of list.
At least the proddies read their verses.
>There's nothing modernist about this
Indeed it's revisionism.

god is netiher man or woman considering god does not need genitalia, he is referred to in a masculine way for convenience i believe.

I always thought the Holy Spirit was like God's sperm
holy spirit is YHWH as understood by people and prophets
father is YHWH the distant, the ruler, the impossible to understand in human terms
son is Jesus Christ, the 100% human and 100% divine
overall they make up God, the highest existence in the universe, that we can't know personally or understand in human terms but at the same time can more or less picture with our limited imagination and words, which led to the trinity according to Christian theology
Who cares. It's all nonsense anyway. I really feel sorry for people who study theology. Unless you are doing so to further your understanding of history, it's a fucking waste of time.

That's fucking retarded.
