For today’s post we will tackle the question the Skeptic Annotated Bible asked: Who sent the Holy Ghost?

Jesus
“When the Helper comes, whom I will send to you from the Father, that is the Spirit of truth who proceeds from the Father, He will testify about Me,” (John 15:26)

“I will ask the Father, and He will give you another Helper, that He may be with you forever;” (John 14:16)
“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 that I said to you.” (John 14:26)
