1 | God's or ours | Matt 28:18 | Ray | 101329 | ||
Hi Asis, I appreciate your question and the opportunity to have the first response. If you give the Scripture references that you had in mind when writing RE generation we can look at them together if your would like. 1) You wrote, "If we walk by the power of our soul rather than the power of our spirit (Holy Spirit power) then whose action is it? God's or ours? The verse that came to my mind is Romans 8:15. A dispute that the Lockman Foundation might want to avoid, and which we might be keep in mind, is the one of capitalization of spirit or not. The NASB and the NKJ have chosen differently on this verse. Romans 8:15, NASB, "For you have not received a spirit of slavery leading to fear again, but you have received a spirit of adoption as sons by which we cry out, "Abba, Father!" Romans 8:15, NKJ, "For you did not receive the spirit of bondage again to fear, but you received the Spirit of adoption by whom we cry out, "Abba, Father." Verse 16 says that the Spirit Himself bears witness with our spirit that we are children of God. So I would say that we have to distinguish between the spirit that we have received and the Spirit of God. Thus, I would not write as you did about "our spirit (Holy Spirit power)." I believe that the word and its parenthesis should agree in capitalization. The action that I see in the way that you wrote it is both ours AND God's. "The Spirit of God and our spirit are in union" I can agree with you on; but they are not the same. One is Spirit and the other is spirit. From the heart, Ray |

Ray I want you to know that I was suprised when I did not see my question on the Homepage. I did not get a Email that you had responded. I find it interesting that this thread is restricted. Any how. How does the Spirit do His work on the earth. What mechanism does the bible show. How does it work in the new tetament believer. I am in union with Christ. 1 Cor 1:30, 2 Cor 1:23. My spirit resides in my heart and the Holy Spirit dwelling in me reside in my heart. The heart being the center of a man's being. The Spirit of God does His work through our spirit. Yea? God's power comes through our spirit? Nay? What do you think. Check my profile and send me a letter that you have responded |
