  9 2    |        written. Oral revelation is Holy Tradition, and written revelation
 10 2    |          and written revelation is Holy Scripture; and both Holy
 11 2    |           Holy Scripture; and both Holy Tradition and Holy Scripture
 12 2    |            both Holy Tradition and Holy Scripture are equal. Holy
 13 2    |          Holy Scripture are equal. Holy Tradition is chronologically
 14 2    |         chronologically older than Holy Scripture. For example,
 15 2    |         write epistles.~It is only Holy Tradition that can transmit
 16 2    |            down in the Bible. Only Holy Tradition can correctly

 19 2    |     Tradition is rejected and only Holy Scripture is accepted as
 20 2    |          fighting with each other. Holy Tradition keeps us united --

 26 2    |      simply the Bible. When we say Holy Scripture or Bible we mean

 30 4    |           superior to God.~Reading Holy Scripture, we can, without
 31 4    |          speak of Father, Son, and Holy Spirit? And again, what
 32 4    |            God the Son? Is God the Holy Spirit? If so, do we not,
 33 4    |            the Son is God. and the Holy Spirit is God. There are
 34 5    |                                The Holy Trinity~We believe in one
 35 5    |           Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. But if He is three

 71 6    |        called "Mother" anywhere in Holy Scripture or in the writings
 72 6    |          or in the writings of the Holy Fathers. Those who persist
 73 6    |        They would do well to study Holy Scripture and examine their

 77 7    |           said, from the Creed and Holy Scriptures, it becomes very
 78 7    |       supported in their heresy by Holy Scripture. They are the

 80 8    |                                The Holy Spirit Is God~~Our Church
 81 8    |           Church believes that the Holy Spirit is God. He is the
 82 8    |            the third Person of the Holy Trinity. He is equal to
 83 8    |           other two Persons of the Holy Trinity, the Father and
 84 8    |        Church is based on both the Holy Scriptures and on Holy Tradition.~
 85 8    |         the Holy Scriptures and on Holy Tradition.~In the Old Testament
 86 8    |     Prophet Isaiah talked with the Holy Spirit (Isaiah, 6:1-10).
 87 8    |         Paul says, "Well spoke the Holy Spirit by Isaiah the Prophet
 88 8    |             who confirms that "the Holy Spirit" speaks (Hebrews,
 89 8    |         that bear witness that the Holy Spirit is God.~In the New
 90 8    |       Father, and the Son, and the Holy Spirit" (Mark, 16:15). Here
 91 8    |             Mark, 16:15). Here the Holy Spirit is equal to the Father
 92 8    |            categorically calls the Holy Spirit, "God" (Acts, 5:4).

 97 8    |            the Holy Scriptures and Holy Tradition. Pay attention
 98 8    |           alone. And so, since the Holy Spirit is worshipped and
 99 8    |      followers. They said that the Holy Spirit is not uncreated
100 8    |           being is God, and so the Holy Spirit cannot be God. This
101 8    |     opinion cannot be supported by Holy Scripture or Holy Tradition.~
102 8    |     supported by Holy Scripture or Holy Tradition.~In our times
103 8    |          deny the existence of the Holy Spirit. The worst is that
104 8    |         themselves students of the Holy Scriptures. Even a brief
105 8    |        Even a brief glimpse at the Holy Scriptures would show them
106 8    |          only the existence of the Holy Spirit but also His Divinity.~
107 8    |            of the word spirit, The Holy Scriptures frequently refer
108 8    |           other two Persons of the Holy Trinity, the Father and
109 8    |        Nevertheless, the Spirit is Holy, and only the Third Person
110 8    |         Third Person is called the Holy Spirit."~There is much to
111 8    |           the many passages of the Holy Scriptures that refer to
112 8    |       Scriptures that refer to the Holy Spirit. However, it is not

114 8    |              Blasphemy against the Holy Spirit is an unforgivable
115 8    |            Son but not against the Holy Spirit. The passage can
116 8    |     misunderstood to mean that the Holy Spirit is superior to the
117 8    |        this: blasphemy against the Holy Spirit is the denial by
118 8    |           Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit -- can save him,

121 9    |           for us to understand the Holy Trinity completely. However,
122 9    |           certain things about the Holy Trinity and about the special
123 9    |           keep in mind is that the Holy Trinity is always united.

126 9    |           Father or the Son or the Holy Spirit? No. The Holy Trinity
127 9    |           the Holy Spirit? No. The Holy Trinity is one in essence
128 9    |      always inside the Son and the Holy Spirit. The Son fits in
129 9    |          inside the Father and the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit
130 9    |           and the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit fits in and is always
