The work of the Spirit of God did not commence with the "Birth of Christ" or the "Incarnation of God" into a man called Jesus of Nazareth, but in the commencing of creation. The Spirit of God, who is God in plural (Elohim-more than one), was and is the source of all life that exists in the universe. Without the Spirit of God or without His Breath (oxygen) no life, of any kind, can exist. Death occurs when the body (human, animal, bird, or plant) can no longer provide and sustain the housing for the Spirit God has put into everything that lives on earth. The Spirit of God can only live in a healthy and well-maintained body. Deterioration and sin, instigated by human error and transgression, shortens the stay of the Spirit. The ailing and declining of the body are the work of an evil spirit that has separated from God and is responsible for the chaos and for the suffering in the world. God’s Spirit does not make us sick! God cannot make us sick because God is good! It is impossible for God to do anything bad. Please follow my trail, as I understand the Spirit of God at work in all of us, in saint and in sinners. It is the "Spirit" or "Breath of God" in man that decides and chooses between right and wrong. The idea that a person receives a new spirit when change occurs is not feasible or necessary. It is the spirit in man that has the ability to change and adapt to good or bad:

In Genesis, chapter two, the Lord God made a man by a special act. And the Lord God made for man a mate, via a special act. The Lord God installed in man the ability to choose. Then, the Lord God made for man a garden, a park, or a paradise called Eden. Adam and Eve did not have the park to themselves. The Lord God also was present in Eden and He watched over the couple. And what the Lord God saw broke His Heart! His special creatures were flirting with Satan’s emissary, the serpent. The Lord God had made it very clear that to eat and to obey anyone, that questioned and to disregarded the Lord God’s Commandment, chooses death over life. Death meant the separation from the Lord God. And it also separated the soul and spirit from the physical body. Genesis, chapter three, gives the reader an idea what it was like to live in the "Presence of the Lord God." There absolute was harmony and peace between man and the animals before Satan’s agent duped Eve into transgressing and bringing disaster on everything and everyone in paradise. Adam and Eve turned the "First Christmas" into ruins. At least, that is the way most of us are led to believe. I wish to take issue with that concept. And I shall deal with the question, "What would life be without the human experience?" Would we like to live robotic lives like Adam and Eve did in Eden? The author of Genesis did not share my view:

The partnership between the Holy Spirit and the followers of Christ was being threatened and hurt by a fanatic young Pharisee call Saul. He was from Tarsus, but educated by Gamaliel in Jerusalem. He was highly favored by the high priest and the Jewish council, that authorized him to apprehend the followers of Christ and bring them in for sentencing. Saul described himself:

The mission of the Holy Spirit was to continue the "Redemptive Work of Christ," the Son of God. The only way the Holy Spirit can display "His Presence" is through the human body and through the human will, just as He did in Jesus the Christ, who was "Emmanuel” and “God with Us” (Matthew 1:23). The increasing numbers of the believers in Jesus Christ, caused by the healing of the lame man and the death of Ananias and Sapphira, demanded more servants and ministers called deacons. The healing and the death also made the Jewish authorities cautiously proceed against Peter, John, and the other apostles. The Jewish leaders detained and warned Peter and John, but they did not kill them. After, and for the last time, Peter and John stood before the leaders and boldly accused them of crucifying the Son of God. Peter and John owed their lives to Gamaliel, who calmed the infuriated council members:
