John 14 and 15 speak of the time when Christ will return to Heaven. In John 14:16-20, Jesus emphasized that after His departure to be with the Father, the disciples would NOT simply be abandoned or orphaned. Rather, Jesus would ask the Father who is greater than He, to send the power of the Holy Spirit (1 John 3:24) to them so both the Father and Jesus the Son would dwell inside true Christians (John 14:20, 23). In John, the Holy Spirit is referred to the 'Comforter or Helper.' In the Greek it is parakletos which is a masculine noun requiring a masculine pronoun. It does not mean it is a person.
In John 15:26 we read, "But when the Comforter is come, whom I will send unto you from the Father, even the SPIRIT OF TRUTH which proceedeth from the Father, he shall testify of me."
The Holy Spirit of God imparts both understanding and strength. It flows out from God which we read above in 15:26 and connects our minds to His. God is both Spirit (John 4:24) and Holy (Leviticus 19:2; Revelation 15:4). The Holy Spirit is not some separate and distinct personality of the Godhead. Rather, the Holy Spirit is the means by which Christ and the Father make their presence felt in the hearts and minds of believers. The Apostle Paul calls this power as the Spirit of God and the Spirit of Christ (Romans 8:9). Luke refers to the Holy Spirit as God's outflowing power (Luke 1:35). It is the means by which the Word created and brought into existence the entire Universe (Psalm 104:30).
What else can I help you with?
Why does Jesus died for us?
Because he wanted to let his sins teach us how to be good people and he wanted to sit next to his father (God) in heavenANSWER: Jesus, the Son of God loves all persons. He and God the Father want all persons to come to them in salvation. John 3:16, " For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son (Jesus Christ), that whosoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life." And Jesus, the Son of God did not sin!
Explain Jesus' prayer in John 17?
This is referred to as Jesus' High Priestly Prayer. Jesus played and continues to play many roles for the church. In His role as High Priest He ministers to us directly and goes before the Father for us in prayer. In John 17 Jesus prays for the protection of His followers and for their unity. I imagine He continues to pray in this same manner before the Father even now.
What do parables teach us about the kingdom of god?
The parables told by Jesus were earthly tories with a heavenly meaning in it. Like the Prodigal son in Luke. it is a story of a son who wastes all his money , and then returns back home to the father.. The father who welcomes him back, is God and we are the son. God is waiting for us to all repent.
What does John first chapter New Testament mean to you explain it to me?
The 1st Chapter of John is very important because it tells us about the Divinity of Jesus Christ and proclaims that Christ is God. Jesus is the Son of God, but He is also God Himself, since He is of the same essence as God. John refers to the "Word" which in Greek is the "Logos" and it refers to a Person, not to a written word. "In the beginning was the Word" emphasises the eternal nature of the Logos as being co-eternal with the Father. In other words, Christ is the Beginning and the End, or to use the Greek words, He is the Alpha and the Omega. "The Word was with God" tells us that Christ is a distinct Person from God the Father, and is also in full communion with Him as the second Person of the Holy Trinity.
What does Jesus reveal to us about God?
He revealed that He is a kind and loving God. He gave us freedom of choice. He didnt want us to be robots when He created us, so He gave us the ability to choose between Him and sin. In the Garden of Eden, when Eve ate the fruit off of the one tree she wasn't supposed to eat from, God knew that people would choose sin over Him. He loved the world, and He loved His people. He loves you, just as He loved Eve. So, He planned on another way of saving His people. A second chance, if you will. He sent His one and only Son, Jesus Christ to earth. Jesus taught the people about true love, and completely changed the world. He offers us saving grace and eternal life, all you have to do is close your eyes and tell Him you believe in Him, and that you know that Jesus Christ, His one and only Son, died and rose again. Jesus taught us how merciful and powerful God is. All authority had been given to Jesus, and He demonstrated God's power by healing the sick and raising the dead. He performed miracle after amazing miracle, but wasn't to be mistaken for a circus performer. Everything He did, He did to give glory to His heavenly father.
How does Jesus the son of God help us know God the father?
Well, Jesus is God and God is Jesus. It's confusing, I know, but it's the truth. The Trinity: God the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. They are one. So if we know Jesus we technically know God the Father too. But if we accept Jesus into our hearts and let the blood he shed on the cross cover us when we die our spirits will go to heaven and we will know Him and see Him.
Do not call any man holy father?
Why we could not call any maan holy father is because we have a Father and his name is GOD/JESUS. If we call any man our holy father than what did they do for us to help us in anyway? GOD/JESUS died for us on the cross to save us from our sins, so that is why we call God/JESUS our Holy Father.
Why can you address Jesus father father too?
WE open the prayer by calling god our father. WE dare to do this because by Baptism into death and resurrection of Jesus Christ, we are the adopted sons and daughters of god. Baptism makes us children of god. Jesus invited us to say, not my Father, but our Father, reminding us that we pray as baptized members of the church community.
Since God is the Father the Son and the Holy Spirit do I have to pray to God or can I just pray to Jesus since Jesus is God?
Jesus taught us to pray...our Father who art in heaven... If Jesus prayed to the Father then it should be ok for you too.
Does god rofl at us?

What does Jesus tell us God is like?
In John 14:8, Philip asked jesus to show them (the other disciples) the Father. Jesus answered, "Have I been so long time with you and yet hast thounot known me, Philip? he that has seen me has seen the father". Jesus and the father are alike in every way. You see Jesus, you see the Father. Read and study about Jesus and you will know exactely what God is like. God is gracious and merciful, loving, forgiving, just, and completely sinless and holy. (abreviated list.)
Is Mary the real mother of Jesus and us?
No, Mary was Jesus' earthly mom. Only god is our father.
Why should you pray in Jesus name?
God the father sent Jesus to earth to sacrifice Himself to take away our sin. This He did by dying on the cross, being buried, and then resurrecting the third day. Jesus by sacrificing Himself for us has given us the privilege of praying to God the Father. We now have free access to God. When we pray we pray to God the Father in heaven. And when we close our prayer we close in Jesus' name because it was He who has given us the authority to pray to God freely.
What is god or gods of Christianity?
