Just as the philosophy of Plato is not the Plato, and the
Platonist Philon not the creator of that specific wisdom, so
Peter was not God because of his enlightenment by the Spirit
of God. Paul clearly sets forth, in the passage just quoted,
that the human soul cannot discern the truths concerning God but
only through His Spirit, inspiration, and direction.
(c) Again, in 1 Cor. vi. 19 we read that the righteous
worshipers of God are called "the temple of the Holy Spirit"
which they "received from God." Here again the Spirit of
God is not indicated to be a person or an angel, but His
virtue, word, or power and religion. Both the body and
the soul of a righteous believer are compared with a temple
dedicated to the worship of the Eternal.
