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. |

Dear Ray V.H.: I want to thank you for a good answer. I ESPECIALLY want to commend you on this sentence.: "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.' . . .I sincerely thank you for referring to the spirit as 'He' and not 'It'. The Holy Spirit is not an it. He is a He. Thanks for making that clear in your wording. --JVH0212 |
