1 | Holy Spirit or holy spirit? | Is 41:18 | Ray | 68565 | ||
Isaiah 41:17,18, NKJ, "The poor and needy seek water, but there is none, Their tongues fail for thirst. I, the Lord, will hear them; I, the (God) of Israel, will not forsake them. I will open rivers in desolate heights, And fountains in the midst of the valleys; I will make the wilderness a pool of water, And the dry land springs of water." My question comes from comparing these verses with John 7:38,29. In past discussions concerning this verse I have vascillated between several arrangements of capitalization. I would like to settle this before I die.:) I hope that I am getting closer (to settling it). I am still suggesting capitalizing "From His innermost being shall flow rivers of living water." "Let him come to (Me) and drink." Certainly the Isaiah passage would go along with that. I am now leaning toward the Spirit spoken of and the Spirit or "Holy Spirit not yet given" as being properly in lower case. Thus I would think of the living water as being holy spirit. Comments please. From the heart, Ray |

2 | Holy Spirit or holy spirit? | Is 41:18 | Robert Nicholson | 68573 | ||
Dear brother Ray: Just a personal note, how is your health. We try to remember to keep you before the throne of Grace. I you would like to chat, please email me, my address is in my profile. Dear brother, I am still having difficulties with upper and lower case. However, you have helped very much over the past 18 months. In John 4:14 Jesus said "But whosoever drinketh of the water that I shall give him shall never thirst; but the water that I shall give him will be a well of water springing up into everlasting life" I believe that in chp. 7 Jesus expands on this; If any man thirst let him come unto me(Me) and drink. He that believeth on me or (Me), as the scripture hath said, out of his(His) heart shall flow rivers of living water" John 7:37-38 My question here is the pronoun "his" referring to "He that believeth"? if so would it not be lower case? I believe that he is speaking of the Holy Spirit who indwells the believer at the moment of believing or trusting in Christ for salvation. V. 39 "But this spake he of the spirit (Spirit) which they that believe on him should receive: for the Holy Spirit was not yet given; because that Jesus was not yet glorified" Ray, even though the third person of the Godhead was not given would we not refer to him as the Holy Spirit? I am going to sent this back to you. I am not sure whether I have been of help, but would like to hear your thoughts. Your brother in Christ Robert |
