Who Inspires Who?

[Doveaman]

Does God inspire the Holy Spirit, or does the Holy Spirit inspire God?

You mean Father? Because the Holy Spirit is God.

 

[Peter J Barban]

I don't see either one inspiring the other. "Inspire" seems like the wrong concept.

 

[HTacianas]

Does God inspire the Holy Spirit, or does the Holy Spirit inspire God?

Regarding that question they are the same. They are of the same will.

Does God inspire the Holy Spirit, or does the Holy Spirit inspire God?

If they are one in essence, then I would think that none inspires another. If one person performs an act, the other (in unity of essence) performs in them. If the Father creates, the Son creates. If the Son creates, the Holy Spirit creates. It is performed ontologically.

When Jesus was raised from the dead, the performance was credited to himself (John 10:18), to the Father (Acts 2:32), and to the Holy Spirit (Romans 8:11).

You mean Father?

Yes.

Because the Holy Spirit is God.

The Father is the same God as the Holy Spirit.

So who inspires who?

Or do they inspire each other?

Are you saying God is not inspired?

To be inspired is to be energized with life.

What energy animates God?
What energy excites God?
What energy motivates God?
What energy moves God to act?

By what power is God's will inspired?

By what power did the Holy Spirit raise the Son?
By what power did the Father raise the Son?
By what power did the Son raise the Son?

By what power did the Holy Spirit raise the Son?
By what power did the Father raise the Son?
By what power did the Son raise the Son?

The same power
