Lesson Outline:

I. Truly We Believe In The Holy Spirit

      This part of the Creed was put by the Council of Constantinople, which was held to refute the heresy of Macedonius. Macedonius denied the Godhead of the Holy Spirit; he said that the Holy Spirit is one of the creatures. Hence, the Church excommunicated him.
      We believe in the Holy Spirit and call Him “The Giver of Life.” When Ananias and Sapphira lied to St. Peter, St. Peter said, “Ananias, why has Satan filled your heart to lie to the Holy Spirit and to keep back part of the proceeds of the land? You have not lied to men but to God” (Acts 5:3, 4).

II. The Divine Tasks Of The Holy Spirit

      He is called the Spirit of Life or God, the Giver of Life. “The earth was without form and void, and darkness was upon the face of the deep, and the Spirit of God was moving over the face of the waters” (Genesis 1:2).
      He is the Creator; He was not made. “The Spirit of God has made me” (Job 33:4). “By the word of the Lord, the heavens were made and all their host by the breath of His mouth” (Psalm 33:6).
      He speaks through the inspiration of the Scripture and prophecy: “Who was spoken of by the prophets.” “Because no prophecy ever came by the impulse of man, but men moved by the Holy Spirit spoke from God.” (2 Peter 1:21)
      It is He who raised Jesus Christ from the dead, and it is He that raises us up from any sin and purges us. “If the Spirit of Him who raised Jesus from the dead dwells in you, He who raised Jesus Christ from the dead will give life to your mortal bodies also through His Spirit which dwells in you” (Romans 8:11).
      He makes of us a new creation, created in the image of ChriSt. The Lord breathed in the face of His disciples as He breathed a breath of life in the duSt. If the image of Adam was corrupted, the Holy Spirit gave us a new nature through baptism, so that we can be in the image of God once more.
      He proceeds from the Father: As a ray of light comes from the sun, and as water flows out of a spring and pours into a lake, the same is true of the Holy Spirit who comes forth from the Father and dwells in the Son. The Father loves the Son, and the Holy Spirit is the Spirit of love that comes forth from the Father to the Son. In the Jordan River, the Father said, “This is my beloved Son with whom I am well pleased.” “And behold the Spirit of God descending like a dove, and alighting on ChriSt.”
      As the water in a well, in a canal or in a lake is the same water that we drink, the same is true of the Holy Spirit that is consubstantial with the Father and the Son.

III. One Church

      All believers had one heart and one Spirit. The unity of the Church is what Christ desires. In His final prayer of intercession, He said, “That they may all be one, even as You Father, art in Me, and I in You, that they also may be in Us, so that the world may believe that You have sent Me” (John 17:21).

IV. Universal Church

v  She gathers all believers from every nation, language and tribe.
v  She gathers all the orders of priesthood: bishops, priests, deacons and also laity.
v  She gathers men, women and children in unity, which is the unity of the universal mission.

V. Apostolic Church

v  The Church is “built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Christ Jesus Himself being the Cornerstone” (Ephesians 2:20).
v  The Life of her members is an apostolic life, based on abstention and evangelic poverty.
v  It is impossible to recognize and confess the priesthood of anyone if the hands of the legal heads of the Church are not set on him.

VI. A Holy Church

v  She is holy because Christ is her head.
v  The spring of holiness is the Holy Spirit working in her.
v  The life history of her members is pure and holy (the story of Ananias and Sapphira proves that the Church rejects every corrupt and bad member).

VII. We Confess One Baptism For The Remission Of Sins

      Christ said to Nicodemus, “Unless one is born of water and the Spirit, he cannot enter the kingdom of God.” (John 3:5) “Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit” (Matthew 28:19).
      Baptism is not repeated because it is like the death, burial and resurrection of Christ, which happened only once: “You were buried with Him in baptism, in which you were also raised with Him through faith in the working of God, who raised Him from the dead” (Colossians 2:12).

VIII. We Look For The Resurrection Of The Dead And The Life Of The Age To Come. Amen

      We believe that our souls are eternal and will not die. When the body dies, the soul goes up to Paradise or goes down to the Hades.
      On the Day of Judgment, the Lord will come in awe and glory and will reward every one according to his deeds. The evildoers will be sent to Hell where they will suffer eternal torment, but the righteous will be sent to the Kingdom of Heavens and the glorified eternal life.
      Our bodies will be glorified; they will take the image of the Body of the raised Son of God. Then they will enter the Kingdom, since blood and flesh cannot inherit the Kingdom.
      Let us live on the hope of the resurrection, waiting for the coming of the Lord. Amen.

The Creed
By H. H. Pope Shenouda III
Truly we believe in the Holy Spirit the Life-giving Lord, who proceeds from the Father. We worship and glorify Him with the Father and the Son.
We believe in the Holy Spirit:
      We believe that God is alive by His Spirit. And the Holy Spirit is the Spirit of God the Father and the Spirit of the Son. And because He is the Spirit of God, He is Holy; therefore, He is called the Holy Spirit. So the Lord, when giving His disciples the Sacrament of Priesthood, said, "Receive the Holy Spirit. If you forgive the sins of any, they are forgiven them; if you retain the sins of any, they are retained" (Jn. 20:22, 23). And when commencing their ministry, He said, "But you shall receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you; and you shall be witnesses to Me in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the end of the earth" (Acts 1:8).
      St. Paul the apostle also said to the bishops of the church in Ephesus, "Therefore take heed to yourselves and to all the flock, among which the Holy Spirit has made you overseers ..." (Acts 20:28), and to the Jews in Rome he said, "The Holy Spirit spoke rightly through Isaiah the prophet to our fathers ..." (Acts 28:25).
      Sometimes, the phrase "the Spirit" is meant to refer to the Holy Spirit. Examples of this are:
·         "He who has an ear let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches" (Rev. 2:29; 3:6, 13, 22). “The Spirit” means of course the Spirit of God.
·         The words of the Lord to Nicodemus about baptism: "Unless one is born of water and the Spirit, he cannot enter the kingdom of God' (Jn. 3:5). The Lord meant by this the regeneration of the water and the Holy Spirit.
·         It is written about the apostles on the Day of Pentecost that they began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance (Acts 2:4). The Spirit here is the Holy Spirit.
·         The gifts of the Spirit mentioned in (1 Cor. 12) are the gifts of the Holy Spirit.
      The Holy Spirit is the Spirit of the Lord or the Spirit of God, as evident in the Holy Bible:
·         (Is. 61:1) "The Spirit of the Lord God is upon Me because the Lord has anointed Me ..."
·         (2 Cor. 3:17) "Now the Lord is the Spirit; and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty.”
·         (Ezek. 36:27) "I will put My Spirit within you and cause you to walk in My statutes.”
·         (Joe. 2:28) "I will pour out My Spirit on all flesh; your sons and your daughters shall prophecy your old men shall dream dreams, your young men shall see visions.”
·         (Ps. 139:7) "Where can I go from Your Spirit? Or where can I flee from Your Presence?"
·         (Ps. 51:11) "Do not take Your Holy Spirit from me.”
      The Holy Spirit being the Spirit of the Father is clear in the following verses: The words of the Lord Christ to His disciples, "For it is not you who speak, but the Spirit of your Father who speaks in you" (Mt. 10:20); "For it is not you who speak, but the Holy Spirit (Mk, 13:11); and also (Lk. 12:12).
      The Holy Spirit being the Spirit of the Son, or the Spirit of the Lord Christ, is evident. St. Paul the apostle says, "God has sent forth the Spirit of His Son into your hearts" (Gal. 4:6). And St. Peter the apostle says, "Searching what, or what manner of time, the Spirit of Christ who was in them was indicating when He testified beforehand the sufferings of Christ (1 Pet. 1:11).
      The fact that the Holy Spirit is the Spirit of the Father and the Spirit of the Son undoubtedly demonstrates the unity of the Holy Trinity.
The Godhead of the Holy Spirit:
      The Godhead of the Holy Spirit was denied by Macedonius, and for this reason, he was excommunicated by the Second Holy Ecumenical Council of Constantinople in 381 A.D. The same council therefore emphasized the divinity of the Holy Spirit in the Creed with the words: “Truly we believe in the Holy Spirit, the Life-giving Lord, who proceeds from the Father. We worship and glorify Him with the Father and the Son.” The term "Lord" here means "God.”
      * The Godhead of the Holy Spirit is clear in the words of St. Peter the apostle when he reprimanded Ananias (the husband of Sapphira) saying, "Why has Satan filled your heart to lie to the Holy Spirit  . . . You have not lied to men but to God" (Acts 5:3, 4).
      * The words of St. Paul the apostle are likewise clear concerning the dwelling of the Holy Spirit within us. St. Paul says, "Or do you not know that your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit who is in you?" (1 Cor. 6:19); "Do you not know that you are the temple of God and that the Spirit of God dwells in you?" (1 Cor. 3:16). In these verses, St. Paul on one occasion says “The temple of the Holy Spirit” and on another occasion “The temple of God", which signifies that it is the same.
      * The Godhead of the Holy Spirit is also evident in the words “The Lord is the Spirit" (2 Cor. 3:17). The Lord Christ Himself asserted this when He said to the Samaritan woman, “God is Spirit, and those who worship Him must worship in spirit and truth" (Jn. 4:24). Since God is Spirit, He is then the Holy Spirit, He is the Father, and He is the Son.
      * God's power to create is a proof of the divinity of the Holy Spirit. The Power to create is an attribute of God alone, as the Psalmist says, "These all wait for You, that You may give them their food in due season... You take away their breath; they die and return to their dust. You send forth Your Spirit, they are created" (Ps. 104:27-30).
      * The omnipresence of the Holy Spirit is another proof of His divinity. The Psalmist says, "Where can I go from Your Spirit? Or where can I flee from Your Presence? If I ascend to heaven, You are there; if I make my bed in hell, behold, You are there ..." (Ps. 139:7, 8). The omnipresence is an attribute of God alone.
      * The gifts given to people demonstrate the divinity of the Holy Spirit. In the First Epistle to the Corinthians, St. Paul says, "There are diversities of gifts, but the same Spirit.... And there are diversities of activities, but it is the same God who works all in all. But the manifestation of the Spirit is given to each one for the profit of all: for to one is given the word of wisdom through the Spirit, to another the word of knowledge through the same Spirit, to another faith by the same Spirit, to another gifts of healings by the same Spirit, to another the working of miracles, to another prophecy ... but one and the same Spirit works all these things, distributing to each one individually as He wills” (Cor 12:4-11) All these are called by the apostle “gifts of the Holy Spirit" (Heb. 2:4). Of these gifts, St. James the apostle also said, “Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and comes down from the Father of lights, with whom there is no variation or shadow of turning” (Jas. 1:17). So, all gifts are sent by God through His Holy Spirit.
      *Another evidence on the divinity of the Holy Spirit is that the Lord Christ has an eternal Spirit. The Holy Bible says, "How much more shall the Blood of Christ who through the eternal Spirit offered Himself without spot to God..."(Heb. 9:14). The Holy Spirit is thus the Spirit of the Lord Christ, and eternity is an attribute of God alone. This verse then is a proof of the divinity of Christ and of the Holy Spirit.
      * Being Life-giving is also a proof of the divinity of the Holy Spirit.
The Life-giving:
      It is well known that the Spirit is the source of life, thus He is Life-giving. This is evident in raising the bones (Ezek. 37). Ezekiel the prophet said, "The hand of the Lord came upon me and brought me out in the Spirit of the Lord, and set me down in the midst of the valley; and it was full of bones ... And He said to me, 'Son of man, can these bones live?' So I answered, 'O Lord God, You know' ... and breath came into them, and they lived" (Ezek. 37:1-3, 10). And the Lord said, "I will put My Spirit in you, and you shall live” (Ezek. 37:14).
      The Book of Revelation likewise says about the two witnesses who were killed: "The breath of life from God entered them, and they stood on their feet" (Rev. 11:11). And the Lord truly says, "It is the Spirit who gives life" (Jn. 6:63). It is also written, "God, who gives life to the dead" (Rom. 4:17); "God who gives life to all things" (1 Tim 6:13). No doubt, it is God who gives life to the dead through His Holy Spirit. He puts His Spirit in them and they live (Ezek. 37:14).
      In many texts, the Holy Bible teaches us that it is God who brings death and gives life (2 Kg. 5:7) (Deut. 32:39), and His Spirit gives life (Ezek. 37:14), which proves the divinity of the Holy Spirit, as the Creed teaches us. The Creed teaches us also that the Holy Spirit proceeds from the Father.
Who proceeds from the Father:
      This is said by the Lord when speaking about the Holy Spirit: “The Spirit of truth who proceeds from the Father" (Jn.15:26).
      However our brothers the Catholics added to the Creed the Latin word "Filioque", which means "and from the Son.” This addition caused a division that still exists within the Church. It is true that the Lord Christ said, “The Helper comes, whom I shall send to you from the Father" (Jn. 15:26) and "If I do not go away, the Helper will not come to you; but if I depart, I will send Him to you" (Jn. 16:7), but we should know the following: There is a great theological difference between procession and sending. Sending takes place within the scope of time, whereas procession is from eternity.
      The Lord Christ sent the Holy Spirit to the apostles on the Day of Pentecost, but the Holy Spirit has existed before because He is the Spirit of God. In the story of creation, it is said, "In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. The earth was without form, and void; and darkness was on the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God was hovering over the face of the waters" (Gen. 1:1,2).
      The Holy Bible tells us also about the work of the Holy Spirit in the Old Testament and how He descended on the prophets and others. The Spirit of God came upon king Saul, and he prophesied (1 Sam. 10:10, 11), then the Spirit of the Lord departed from him (1 Sam. 16:14). Again the Spirit of the Lord came upon David (1 Sam. 16:13) and moved upon Samson (Jud. 13:25), then came mightily upon him (Jud. 14:6). The Scriptures tell us also about the work of the Spirit of the Lord with Ezekiel the prophet (Ezek. 37:1), and many texts about the Spirit of God are included in the Psalms of David the prophet.
      Much can be said on the work of the Holy Spirit in the Old Testament as well as during the era between the two Testaments, before the nativity of the Lord Christ. It is said about John the Baptist, on announcing his birth: "He will also be filled with the Holy Spirit, even from his mother's womb" (Lk. 1: 15) and about his mother Elizabeth that she was filled with the Holy Spirit (Lk. 1:41). His father Zacharias also was filled with the Holy Spirit and prophesied (Lk. 1:67). And the angel said to the holy Virgin, when announcing the birth of the Lord Christ: "The Holy Spirit will come upon you, and the power of the Highest will overshadow you" (Lk. 1:35). To Joseph the carpenter, the angel said about the holy Virgin: "That which is conceived in her is of the Holy Spirit" (Mt. 1:20). It is also said about Simeon the elder: "This man was just and devout, waiting for the consolation of Israel, and the Holy Spirit was upon him. And it had been revealed to him by the Holy Spirit that he would not see death before he had seen the Lord Christ” (Lk. 2:25, 26).
      Therefore the sending of the Holy Spirit by the Lord Christ upon the disciples on the Day of Pentecost has nothing to do at all with the procession of the Holy Spirit from the Father since eternity.
      The Holy Spirit then is the Spirit of God; He is the Person representing life in the Holy Trinity, and God is living by His Spirit. And the Holy Spirit proceeds from the Godhead since eternity, before any creation and before the birth of the disciples to whom the Lord sent the Holy Spirit.
      For example, it is said about the Son's incarnation, “But when the fullness of the time had come, God sent forth His Son, born of a woman, born under the law, to redeem those who were under the law” (Gal. 4:4, 5). But in spite of being sent to the world in the fullness of time, the Son had been born of the Father since eternity and all things were made through Him and without Him nothing was made that was made (Jn. 1:3). So, His birth since eternity is one thing, and He being sent forth in the fullness of time is another different thing. The same can be said of the Holy Spirit: His procession from the Father since eternity is one thing, and He being sent forth upon the disciples on the day of Pentecost is another different thing.
      Now, lest some would think that the Holy Spirit is lower in rank than the Father and the Son, being the third Person or being sent forth from the Father, the Creed adds he words: “We worship and glorify Him with the Father and the Son.”
We worship and glorify Him:
      We give Him the worship due to Him as the Spirit of God, and glorify Him with the Father and the Son equally.
      In our prayers we say, "Glory be to the Father, the Son, the Holy Spirit, the Holy co-substantial Trinity" and start every prayer with the words: "In the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, One God. Amen."
      The sending of the Holy Spirit by the Lord Christ does not mean that the Holy Spirit is in a lower rank than Him. The Lord Christ Himself says, "And now the Lord God and His Spirit have sent Me" (Is. 48:16); "The Spirit of the Lord God is upon Me, because the Lord has anointed Me" (Is. 61:1). This does not mean of course that the Lord Christ is lower in rank than the Holy Spirit.
      The Lord has commanded us to baptize people in the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit (Mt. 28:19). And St. John the apostle says in his first epistle, "For there are three that bear witness in heaven: the Father, the Word, and the Holy Spirit; and these three are one" (Jn. 5:7).
Through the three Persons together, the blessing is given:
      We say, according to the teaching in (2 Cor. 13:14), "The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the communion of the Holy Spirit be with you all. Amen.”
      The words of the Creed “We glorify Him with the Father and the Son” do signify equality among the three Persons. The three Persons are equal in the divine attributes of the Godhead. Each Person is Eternal, Everlasting, Creator, Omnipresent, Unlimited, Omnipotent, and in every other aspect, the Holy Spirit is equal to the Father and the Son. However, we say that the Son is born of the Father before all ages, whereas the Holy Spirit proceeds from the Father before all ages also.
      As we pray to the Father, to the Son and to the Holy Spirit.  Many examples are found in the Hours’ Prayers (Agpeya) and in the Holy Bible. The prayers addressed to the Father are so many and so clear. An example of the prayers addressed to the Son is the prayer of St. Stephen the archdeacon while being martyred, where he said, "Lord Jesus, receive my spirit (Acts 7:59) Another example is the prayer which says, “O my Lord Jesus Christ, have mercy on me.” An example of the prayer addressed to the Holy Spirit is the prayer of the third hour, during which we say, “O Heavenly King, the Spirit of Truth, the Comforter, who is everywhere and fills everybody ... we ask You to graciously come and dwell within us.”
      The creed also says about the Holy Spirit:
Who spoke by the prophets:
      This is clear in the words of St. Peter the apostle: "For prophecy never came by the will of man, but holy men of God spoke as they were moved by the Holy Spirit” (2 Pet. 1:21). And St. Paul the apostle said to the Jews, "The Holy Spirit spoke rightly through Isaiah the prophet" (Acts 28:25).
      The Lord Christ said to His disciples, "It is not you who speak, but the Holy Spirit" (Mk. 13:11). Thus St. Paul the apostle said, "These things we also speak, not in words which man's wisdom teaches but which the Holy Spirit teaches ..." (I Cor. 2:13). This reminds us of the words of the Lord Christ to His holy apostles, “But the Helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in My name, He will teach you all things and bring to your remembrance all things that I said to you" (Jn. 14:26).
      Many times, the Holy Spirit spoke by the mouth of David the prophet. This is mentioned by the Lord; He said, "How is it that the scribes say that the Christ is the Son of David? For David himself said by the Holy Spirit: The Lord said to my Lord, 'Sit at My right hand, till I make Your enemies Your footstool'" (Mk. 12:35, 36) (Mt. 22:43, 44) (Ps. 110:1).
      And St. Peter the apostle said about Judas Iscariot, "This Scripture had to be fulfilled, which the Holy Spirit spoke before by the mouth of David concerning Judas ..." (Acts 1:16)
      The Creed words "Who spoke by the prophets" refer to divine inspiration. Thus the apostle said, "All scripture is given by the inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine" (2 Tim. 3:16). How did the inspiration come from God? It came through the Holy Spirit, and this is another evidence of the divinity of the Holy Spirit.
