1 | will pour out My (my) spirit?Who?What | Prov 1:23 | Ray | 107834 | ||
I would like to talk about the spirit of wisdom. Proverbs 1:20, "Wisdom shouts in the street, *She lifts her voice in the square; At the head of the noisy streets she cries out; At the entrance of the gates in the city, she utters her sayings:..." The writing style of the NASB leaves the *She that I starred in question, but the she should agree with the other "she" and "her" words. I think that a good verse to compare/contrast with Proverbs 1:23 would be Isaiah 44:3. Isaiah 44:3, "For I will pour out My *Spirit on your offspring, And My blessing on your descendants." I would put the Spirit that I *starred in lower case with the idea of pouring out of the spirit and blessing from the Spirit of God. Does that help us to understand the spirit of wisdom? What are your thoughts? From the heart, Ray |

2 | will pour out My (my) spirit?Who?What | Prov 1:23 | JCrichton | 107880 | ||
Hi, Ray! I liken the spirit of wisdom to the gifts of the spirit (1 Corinthians 12:4-11); but this is not the Holy Spirit (1 Corinthians 2:6-16; John 14:15-17, 25-26; 16:7-11; Hebrews 3:7-11). Sadly, there are those who would want to silence the Truth about the Holy Spirit and demote Him to an electric current that has energy or even to simple human knowledge and reason. They read Proverbs 1:20 and appease themselves saying: "...see, it's only a good feeling, a thing God gives us (or something to that effect)." They ignore every Biblical passage that declares that the Holy Spirit is God! (1 Corinthians 6:19-20). God Bless! |

Hi JCrichton, I wonder if you would rephrase your first paragraph for me please. For example, are you saying "I liken the spirit of wisdom to a gift of the Spirit, but this (spirit of wisdom) is not the Holy Spirit." That is what I would say. Or are you saying that there are pronouns of "Spirit" in 1 Corinthians 12:4-11 that you do not see as Holy Spirit? I would not put in lower case any of the Spirit pronouns in 1 Corinthians 12:4-11. 1) 1 Corinthians 1:6-16 has some words of "Spirit" that I have penciled in my copy as the "spirit" that we have received. 2) I also am interested in your capitalization of Truth. Do you always speak of Deity in your use of the word or is it sometimes capitalized for accent or stress? 3) In John 14-16 would you capitalize Spirit of Truth? From the heart, Ray |

4 | will pour out My (my) spirit?Who?What | Prov 1:23 | JCrichton | 108716 | ||
Hi, Ray! Sorry for the confusion. What I mean is that in Proverbs 1:20 as in 1 Corinthians 12:4-11 the Bible is talking about the abilities or gifts of the Spirit (Holy Spirit). Some denomenations grab on to such passages to attempt to deny that there is a Divine Person known as the Holy Spirit (John 14:26, 15:26). While just a few short verses away Provebs 1:23 (as 1 Corinthians 2:6-16) the Bible clearly demonstrate that there is a Holy Power at work: the Holy Spirit! How a person, nay, a people can read the Bible and figure out that God has abilities (sometimes referred to as wisdom or knowledge) which can be defined in human terms (as Proverbs 1:20; 1 Corinthians 12:4-11), and yet not be able to distinguish between God's abilities and God's revelations about His existance as the Holy Spirit (Proverbs 1:23; Isaiah 44;3; 1 Corinthians 2:6-16; John 15:26) is way beyond my comprehension! When referring to man and our spiritual nature I would never capitalize (spiritual, spirit...) when referring to the Father, the Son, the Holy Spirit or words that describe or symbolize their deity I will emphasize by capitalizing the first letter--with the exception of defining the term LORD which in the old testament was a title reserved for Yahweh (at least in some old Bible versions). Also, I tend to always capitalize Bible and Biblical to differentiate between the Scriptures and all source/material of human origin. Deity, Truth, Light, Beginning, End, Rock, Salvation, Refuge, Hope... these words (and others like them) when directly related to God (Father, Son, Holy Spirit) I capitalize as per personal preference. In this forum, since I have no knowledge of how emphasize with variations of font/color, I may use Caps Lock to create a tone (i.e.: JESUS IS LORD!). Now, when quoting a Biblical passage I would simply transcribe the text without adding any personal emphasis. So if I were to cite John 14:16-17, and the passage would include the phrase "Spirit of Truth" is so depicted I would transcribe per context. When I am defining my thoughts and I find that the passage or word directly reflects the Father, Son and/or the Holy Spirit, or if I am expressing a thought with my own words (i.e.: Jesus is Love!) I would most likely capitalize the adjective/pronoun directly related to God or to the three Persons of God's Deity! I hope this served to clarify your questions! Thanks for your interest in finding common grounds and understanding! God Bless! |
