1 | Why one word for wind and spirit? | Ps 51:10 | Ray | 2023 | ||
Hi wdc, There are two words that are translated wind in the Greek that I know of and be assured that I am no scholar. The one in Mark 6:48 - 5l is "anemos", where the wind was against them and the wind stopped. The other place that I am thinking of is John 3:8 "The wind blows where it wishes and you hear the sound of it, but you do not know where it comes from and where it is going; so is everyone who is born of the Spirit." Jesus is saying "My spirit goes where He wishes and you hear My words, but yet you don't know where I'm from or where I am going." He says it over and other in the gospel of John. John 3:11 says (in my personal copy) "Truly, truly I say to you, We speak of what We know and testify of what We have seen, and you do not accept Our testimony." By the way, there are three Spirits in that section of John 3:5-8. Here the word translated wind is pneuma, spirit. He says "If I told you earthly things and you do not believe, how will you believe if I tell you heavenly things?" verse 12. Nichodemus was the teacher of Israel and he didn't understand these spiritual things. There's no dumb question. I see in my bible that I've compared John 3:10 with John l2:48,"He who rejects Me and does not receive My sayings, has One who judges him; the word I spoke is what will judge him at the last day." Praise God for His word. Later, Ray P.S. I noticed that Psalm 5l has three spirits in it. A steadfast spirit, a willing spirit, and a broken spirit. |

2 | Why one word for wind and spirit? | Ps 51:10 | wdc | 2025 | ||
Thanks for this study, I will go back and look into some more. I also am curious about John 6:63. (John 6:63) It is the spirit that quickeneth; the flesh profiteth nothing: the words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life. I notice how Jesus likens His words to Spirit. I have heard some say that the Word and the Holy Spirit are the same, at least in operation. I don't know about that. I know that the Spirit uses the Word, Eph 6:17 "the sword of the Spirit, which is the Word of God". Also Jesus is the Word, John 1:1. Does anyone have any thoughts on John 6:63? later...wdc |

Hi wdc, I just wrote to JVH and had a good time writing him, however the computer swallowed it when I went back to click on note. I've got to learn to paste like it was suggested earlier by someone else. Anyway, JVH and wdc, and anybody, hi. I love the book of John, just like everybody else I guess. It was where I started when I wanted to study the Trinity. Of course, wdc ,you may have recognized me as the capitalizer, so here goes. You say that you notice how Jesus likens His words to Spirit, but the verse you want to look at says that His words are spirit. The Word, the Holy Spirit, and God are the same in one Spirit. We as humans don't like to be "used"and I would think that the Spirit uses the word of God, the sword of the Spirit in your Eph 6:17 passage. Jesus is the Word, was the Word, and will be the Word. Also God was the Word. Scripture talks of God our Savior. And we know that God is a Spirit. Jesus will be Spirit when we get to know Him. Anyway, you want to look at Jn 6:63. "It is the Spirit who gives life; the flesh profits nothing; the words that I have spoken to you are spirit and are life." I think we have to look back and look at the Bread of life that the disciples were grumbling about. His words are spirit, this Bread is Spirit that gives life more abundant. Jesus said that you can't live on bread alone. And Jn 6:58 says "he who eats this Bread will live forever." But lets talk about this together later. I have some sleep to get, too. But look at the passage of Jn 6:26 through to your verse. Count the breads, I encourage you all to capitalize them. Praise Him in it. See if you don't come to the knowledge of the God/Man in His completeness. Later people, Ray V.H. |
