Hello Ken, You asked: [Get my drift?] Do you get mine? You had answered to Evangelica that "the gift of teaching, or preaching, or encouraging, or serving...ect.....None of the these are gifts and serving is more of a fruit." Romans 12:6-8 clearly states that teaching, serving, and encouraging are listed as spiritual gifts. Next we have: [Yes...And. The above mentions joy. What "joy" would that be, Steve?] Joy in a relationship with God Himself through the Lord Jesus Christ. But I was responding to your answer that the Holy Spirit does not empower us to live for God. You also stated: [When you see it [with your spiritual eyes] you will understand it is His power of Himself in you functioning and not power that He gives you] I agree His power works in us. I never said otherwise. You had said the Holy Spirit does not empower us to live. Now you admit He does but somehow does not. I don't understand. [And no you are not made into a robot because the Spirit is always subject to the Prophet] I never thought this. I don't know why you mentioned it. [It is Him in you and upon you that is the strength, not just something He gives you should you be lacking the Mind of God.] Right, the Holy Spirit strengthens us through His power as stated in Eph 3:16. [Chapter and verse? How about common sense when reading the text in context? You should know what the context is by now.] I asked for chapter and verse because I could not understand the context of your statement. So I ask again for chapter and verse to back your statement that strength should be a "wisdom". Steve |

Hello Ken, Here is what you had written: ************************** [Ephes. 3:16 (ESV) that according to the riches of his glory he may grant you to be strengthened with power through his Spirit in your inner being,] .....In your inner being. Do you know how that happens? When you see it [with your spiritual eyes] you will understand it is His power of Himself in you functioning and not power that He gives you...And no you are not made into a robot because the Spirit is always subject to the Prophet. 1 Cor. 14:32 (NASB) and the spirits of prophets are subject to prophets; ************************** Because you wrote "it is His power of Himself in you functioning and not power that He gives you" it appears you are saying that He both empowers us and doesn't empower us. These are mutually exclusive. Would you clear up the dilemma? Steve |
