1 | Filled with Holy Spirit? | Eph 4:23 | Ray | 150271 | ||
Hi Doc, You wrote that "Even in English, the phrase "without measure" does not necessarily mean that that which is given is measurable." My point was that the holy spirit was given without measure to us and that it indeed was immeasureable. John 21:25 reads, "And there were also many other things which Jesus did, which if they were written in detail, I suppose that even the world itself would not contain the books which were written." 1) The words used by your commentary authors that suggest the holy spirit to me are "fountain, as in a bottomless ocean", Matthew Henry; "every gift"...and the "fulness of grace", "oil of gladness",...immeasurable unction, John Gill; "entire fulness of divine life and divine power" Robert Jamieson. 2) John 3:34: God is the Holy Spirit, Jesus is the Holy Spirit; God does not give the Holy Spirit to Jesus.

Dear Ray, I do not see any argument in your recent post that might lend credence to your argument. It is hetrodoxy. Regarding your statement, "God does not give the Holy Spirit to Jesus" clearly contradicts Scripture. "Behold my Servant, whom I uphold; Mine elect, in whom My soul delighteth; I have put My Spirit upon Him: He shall bring forth judgment to the Gentiles." (Isaiah 42:1) "Behold my servant, whom I have chosen; my beloved, in whom my soul is well pleased: I will put my Spirit upon Him, and He shall shew judgment to the Gentiles." (Matthew 12:18) And the Holy Spirit descended in bodily form like a dove upon Him, and a voice came from heaven which said, "You are My beloved Son; in You I am well pleased." (Luke 3:22) Then Jesus, being filled with the Holy Spirit, returned from the Jordan and was led by the Spirit into the wilderness. (Luke 4:1) The Spirit of the Lord is upon Me, because He hath anointed Me to preach the gospel to the poor; He hath sent Me to heal the brokenhearted, to preach deliverance to the captives, and recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty them that are bruised. (Luke 4:18) "How God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Spirit and with power, who went about doing good and healing all who were oppressed by the devil, for God was with Him." (Acts 10:38) In Him, Doc |
