I had things more than a little mixed up. Like some often do, I opened my mouth before I had engaged my brain. Although having read, I did not see. "with the evidence of speaking." Thanks George |

Thanks for your response. I am now in the process of studying the book of Acts, I am well on my way to a definitive answer of my own. If one didn't know whether or not they had the Holy Ghost after what Acts 2 depicts. They would have to have a much harder head than I admittedly have. Holy Spirit, Holy Ghost; I feel they arw meatiphors, for there are 3 in the Godhead; the Father; the Son and the Holy Gost (spirit). As is spoken, "the spirit of man;" There is also the spirit of God, the spirit of Jesus and the spirit of the Holy Ghost as was previously noted herein. George |

326 | Searching for the truth | 1 Thess 4:17 | GeorJoy | 90170 | ||
For the most part, if not at least 98o/o, and for what little it may be worth, I agree. However, the word does state that there are mysteries that are not for man to know. Not teaching this fact , I should think would be detrimental to the student and the pursuit of (truth,) and would put the teacher in the place of the watchman who did not sound the trumpet, as in Eze 33. The word also states that for everything there is a time. This, I should think includes understanding; for as I love to quote “if understanding came before acceptance, one would accept very little.” I.e.;Do you understand how your microwave, telephone or CD player works? I don't, but because they have performed for me previously, I accept on faith that they work and forget about worrying why. Where the word is concerned, I personally like to rely on the Holy spirit to fill in for where I lack. If one can not find an answer with reasonable effort, there are some things which are better left alone than researched. For as is stated in Ecc 12:12 “much study is a weariness of the flesh.” Where the word of God is concerned, I have yet to seek the answer to a sincere question, which was not given me at one time or another. The answer may have come after I had long given up on the question, but the important answers were delivered as soon as the time was right. Thus, once again, my faith is a proven performer. I should think that a “Bible Teacher” would, not only teach that one should study. But that they would consider bringing this fact to light as well. In Christ George |

327 | Holy (GHOST) Received but not Realized? | Romans | GeorJoy | 90158 | ||
My question was, and is as follows; Can one have received the Holy (GHOST) and not know? I have yet to come to a conclusion based on scripture. I mean no offence to anyone but, I prefer a response from one who has experianced the utterance of toungs. I invite NO debate on toungs, the Holy Spirit, or anything other than the question presented herein. George |

Thanks for your response Morgah. It is not my intention to spark a debate the subject as to whether or not the Holy Ghost and the Holy Spirit are one in the same, for it is completely out of line with my question. However, based on my studies after having corrected my original wording of the question; not that it matters, but I would have to disagree with you, or rather, say that I feel that the word 'pneuma' may have simply been used metaphorically. In the KJV "Holy Ghost" is mentioned 89 times in the NT. O (zero) times in the OT. Whereas, "Holy spirit" is mentioned 4 times in the NT and 3 in the OT. Quoting from the KJV, John 7:39 says (But this spake he of the Spirit, which they that believe on him should receive: for the Holy Ghost was not yet given; because that Jesus was not yet glorified.) Yes, the NIV replaces "Ghost with spirit." If one READS what it says in KJV, they will see that in Jn 7:39, it calls the Holy Ghost the spirit. The spirit which the believers were to receive, which hadn’t yet been given was the Holy Ghost. Considering the fact that the “Holy Ghost” had not been given yet, I can understand why it wouldn’t be mentioned in the OT. But, I believe it was mentioned therein, just not described as such. I think that if one will do as I have, (and do a “phrase” search on the two, and then study the verses they have searched out) they can but come to the same conclusion; That the Holy Ghost and The Holy Spirit are two completely different entities. Wouldn’t you consider that the word 'pneuma' could have been used metaphorically? Either way, this is beside the point, for I am convinced, and not here to debate that point. My question was, and is as follows; Can one have received the Holy GHOST and not know? I have yet to come to a conclusion based on scripture. George |

Ok. Many times, I have read what you have quoted. I see not an answer to my question therein. In my blissful ignorance, which is not due to any lack of biblical study, just a lack of study on this particular topic; I have determined that what I refer to is an additional gift such as is "wisdom, prophecy, toungs and the gift of interpritation." I know that there is a doctrinal issue here. I address this question only to those who are aware of and have experienced the utterance of toungs. Let me rephrase my question by replacing the word "spirit" with "ghost." Once again, I will reveal my ignorance by stating that although currently I have no biblical foundation for the following statement, I believe there is one. I (think) they, the Holy Spirit and The Holy Ghost are two completely different things. Correct me with scripture, if you will. Remove the splinter from my eye, (I AM NOT SAYING THAT ANYONE DOES, but) only if you have no mote in yours, please. Thanks George. |

Can one have recieved the Holy spirit and not know? I think so, but have no scriptural foundation. I know that "if understanding came before acceptance, we would accept very little in this life." However, one often accepts without understanding, even though he desires to understand, and that this is a hinderence at the very least. Please provide such foundation (not thoughts or opinion,)pro or con. George |

336 | Is Your Modern Translation Corrupt? | 2 Tim 3:16 | GeorJoy | 90003 | ||
My goodness! I wonder if the Pharisees did not have this same discussion? I would ask. "What is the second greatest commandment"? What is there beyond ones fulfillment of this commandment that is worthy of study? Is it likely that it was misinterpreted? When I get this one perfected, I may consider seeking the perfection of another of my shortcomings; Comparitively; Not the least of which is the "mote" in the eye of those who would waste thought on such things as these. By the way; On a seemingly contradictory note, I like the NIV for obvious reasons. The Lord showed it to me shortly after its first full printing when, not knowing there was even another version in existence, I informed him that I couldn’t understand the KJV, and that there must be something out there that I could understand. He promptly satisfied my sincere desire. I also like the KJV “for obvious reasons;” Probably, primarily the same as others who were raised with it. Also because it helps to clarify questions I may have with specific scripture or thought in the NIV. I also like, and occasionally use for clarification purposes “The Interlinear Bible, Hebrew, Greek, English,” with the KJ2 version along the sideline, which anyone who is familiar with will know the obvious reason. I’d say that the KJV has stood the “test of time,” and that faith means more than all the words of all the so called scholars… George |

337 | how to interpret scripture? | 2 Tim 3:16 | GeorJoy | 89998 | ||
One can quote all the fairy tales they wish. If they don't understand Gods word, they can come up with excuses that could nearly convince the elect. I never heard or read a fary tale that stated such as is in 2Ti 2:15, Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth. I would suggest that rather than the fairy tales of others, one should consider the word of God. If one seriously does so, it would be no accident if he stumbled across sthe truth. Mar 4:11 And he said unto them, Unto you it is given to know the mystery of the kingdom of God: but unto them that are without, all these things are done in parables: Mar 4:12 That seeing they may see, and not perceive; and hearing they may hear, and not understand; lest at any time they should be converted, and their sins should be forgiven them. "If they don't want to see, or hear, They desirve NOT the truth." Carefull now! George |

Again, If I weren't to accept your apology, then I couldn't ask you to accept mine, which I do. Some want not to show their own ignorance by not "discussing anything with you" Schmythe. Others simply haven't the patience. Still, as with myself, others are offended by your method of discussion. Learn by what you see in the experiences of others. Try not to make the same mistakes they did and do. There is a Gold mine of learning along this line in this thread alone. Look at some of my posts. I haven't always worded them right, and thus came across saying something I didn't intend to say. Other times, what I wrote wasn't read correctly, and thus came across as an offence to the reader. Someone noted on this sight, in this thread , I think, something to the affect that "Christians don't come together to discuss scripture in the spirit of love because...." I wish I could remember who wrote it, and where that note was! For I simply don't believe that there is a true Christian alive who wishes to disagree with another Christian. Why CAN'T we agree? (I've got to do some serious studying!) It was as such in the early days of the church, and is as such today. BUT WHY? (Scriptural quotes please.) George |
