7. Whoever is not the giver of all things is not God.
Whoever is a gift of God is not the giver
of all things. Whoever is a gift of God is himself given. The gift is within the power of the giver. Gad can never be within the power of another. (Bere Biddle quotes Acts 17: 25: 'Gad giveth to ail, life, breath and all things.') 8. Whoever changes place is not God.
The Holy Spirit changes place.
Therefore the Holy Spirit is not Gad.
(Biddle further explained this syllogism by saying that if God were to change place then He would cease to be where He was before and begin to be where he was not before - which would be a contradiction of His attribute of being Omnipresent, and therefore of His Deity. Therefore it could not have been Gad who came to Jesus, but an Angel who appeared as a per足 son in the Name of God.) 9. Whoever prays to Christ to come to judgement
isnot Gad.
The Holy Spirit does this.
Therefore the Holy Spirit is not God.
10. In Romans 10: 14 it reads, 'How shall they believe in him of whom they have not heard. He in whom men have not believed, yet were disciples.'
He who is not believed in is not God.
Men have not believed in the Holy Spirit,
yet were disciples.
Therefore the Holy Spirit is not God.
11. Whoever is told by God through an intermediary what he is to say - i.e. Jesus 足 has an understanding distinct from God.
Therefore Jesus is not God.
