GodChild Posted July 19, 2007 Share Posted July 19, 2007 This is a 'theological' question, i suppose, so excuse me if I don't put the question forward as intellectually as another might, but I have been thining as of late about the Holy Spirit and the 7 spirits of Yahweh .... how do these relate one to the other? and what are the 7 spirits of yahweh? Is it the Holy Spirit subdivided into 7 ... or are they seperate spirits? If the Holy Spirit is part of the Trinity then wouldnt the seven spirits of Yahweh also be part of the Trinity? or are they angels? How is the Holy Spirit different to the other seven spirits? .... it may be that I'm pondering things that have a simple explanation, but I would like some clarity on these 'spirits', particularly how they relate to the Holy Spirit (which I thought was the only spirit of Yahweh). Thankyou. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T-Bone _ Posted July 19, 2007 Share Posted July 19, 2007 (edited) I have never heard of the Seven Spirts of Yahweh. It sounds New Agey or gnostic... Edited July 19, 2007 by T-Bone _ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KnightofChrist Posted July 19, 2007 Share Posted July 19, 2007 (edited) What version are you reading? The Apocalypse Of Saint John, Chapter 3 1 And to the angel of the church of Sardis, write: These things saith he, that hath [b]the seven spirits of God[/b], and the seven stars: I know thy works, that thou hast the name of being alive: and thou art dead.

KnightofChrist Posted July 19, 2007 Share Posted July 19, 2007 The Apocalypse Of Saint John Chapter 5 6 And I saw: and behold in the midst of the throne and of the four living creatures, and in the midst of the ancients, a Lamb standing as it were slain, having seven horns and seven eyes: [i]which are the seven Spirits of God[/i], sent forth into all the earth.
