1 | Why did God wait to send the Holy Spirit | Joel 2:28 | Sir Pent | 114122 | ||
Here's the verses you asked for................................. Hello again Ray, I am aware of your personal study on capitaliztion, although I must admit that I most of your posts on the subject are beyond me. Your dedication to your study is quite impressive though. As for the current topic, you mentioned a need for verses where the Holy Spirit dwells "in us". I would point you towards some that Makarios pointed me to. Gen 41:38, Num 27:18, Dan 4:8, 5:11-14, Ex 31:3, and Ex 35:31 all talk about the Holy Spirit being "in" people of the Old Testament. Rom 8:9-11, 1 Cor 3:16, Eph 2:22, Eph 3:16-17, 2 Tim 1:14, and James 4:5 all refer to the Holy Spirit dwelling "in" believers after Christ. |

2 | Why did God wait to send the Holy Spirit | Joel 2:28 | Ray | 114170 | ||
Hi Sir Pent, I wasn't thinking earlier of the Old Testament references. Thank you. The Ex 31:3 and Ex 35:31 I have in lower case "spirit' to be consistent with all the other "filled with the *holy *spirit" occurances to my mind. The New Testament verses reference do not talk of the Holy Spirt dwelling, but rather they talk of the Spirit of God, Spirit of Christ, His Spirit. The one that applies to the wording I am looking for is 2 Timothy 1:14 and also 1 Corinthians 6:19 that EdB gave me. 2 Timothy 1:14 to my mind is saying that the Holy Spirit who dwells in us guards the treasure, the words entrusted to us in the Scriptures. This treasure is the pledge, the down payment, the promise from the Holy Spirit of the holy spirit. Ephesians 1:13 talks about the message of truth, the gospel of your salvation and how after believing in Him you were sealed with the promised *holy *spirit. This holy spirit is given as a pledge of our inheritance. That is what we are told to be filled with; the word of God, the Scriptures. That is my understanding of being filled with the holy spirit. I go with the alternate reading in the NASB with my lower case spirit for James 4:5. "Or do you think that the Scripture speaks to no purpose: "The spirit which He has made to dwell in us jealously desires us". And for Joel 2:28 I interpret it as lower case spirit. "And it will come about after this That I will pour out My *spirit on all mankind;" That's the way I see it. From the heart, Ray |
