Not only that, but they are interacting and overlapping in their work:
"He Himself (Jesus) through the Holy Spirit thus invite thus: Come, my children, hearken unto Me, I will teach you the fear of the Lord."

Jesus is described here as relaying truth THROUGH the Holy Spirit. Who but God could possibly direct the Holy Spirit?
Who but God can relay eternal truths through the Holy Spirit?

Medini:
Where does what you quote above say that JC "directs the Holy Spirit"? It says he invites "through the Holy Spirit". How does that make him G-d? Any prophet or person having ruach hakodesh could be said to say, relay, or act "through the Holy Spirit". As Uri has pointed out, you are reading into Clement what you want to see there, but what is NOT there.


"Any prophet or person having ruach hakodesh could be said to say, relay, or act "through the Holy Spirit"."


But Medini, at the time Clement wrote his epistle, Jesus was no longer on the planet.....

So how do you presume he is doing this inviting?

By the written word only? Not everyone had a copy of something written to read at that time (or now).

Through the oral testimony of others?
Yes, but it's more than that.

In the past tense only? What Jesus accomplished: it's over .... know, and remember that?
No, Clement wrote "the Lord Jesus Christ liveth".

Through the written and spoken testimony of others, yes, but more .... the living, risen Lord bids us come. Personally. Through the working of the Holy Spirit.
