1 | How do you "share the Gospel?" | Matt 28:18 | Ray | 100342 | ||
Hi Ken hepting, Your quote of Watchman Nee in part said, "God has given us His Holy Spirit, and when love is needed the fruit of the Spirit is love;". I personally differentiate between the Giver and the gift. The Spirit and the holy spirit. So my interpretation and change from his quote would be "God has given us His holy spirit, and when love is needed the fruit of the Spirit is love;" Would you comment on that please? From the heart, Ray |

2 | How do you "share the Gospel?" | Matt 28:18 | Ken hepting | 100345 | ||
Hi Ray! Sure, lets see some things. It might be easy. [Your quote of Watchman Nee in part said, "God has given us His Holy Spirit, and when love is needed the fruit of the Spirit is love;".] Ok, but God is Love, is He not? That's His name. So when Jesus said this: John 14:26 (NASB-U) "But the Helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in My name, He will teach you all things, and bring to your remembrance all that I said to you. How can it be that you should differentiate on the issue of the [S]pirit? [I personally differentiate between the Giver and the gift. The Spirit and the holy spirit.] Contextually they are one in the same. [So my interpretation and change from his quote would be "God has given us His holy spirit, and when love is needed the fruit of the Spirit is love;"] He gives more of Himself to us that we reveal Him in the matter. Remember He is Love. How'd I do? |

3 | How do you "share the Gospel?" | Matt 28:18 | Ray | 100355 | ||
Hi Ken, You are doing well in expressing yourself, but I disagree on your capitalization of Love. 1 John has several "God is" verses. "God is Light", 1:5. "He Himself is the propitiation for our sins", 2:2. "He/ is righteous", 2:29. "He/ is righteous", 3:7. "God/ is love", 4:8. "God/ is love", 4:16. So I would say that Love is not a name for God. Love is the gift that He gives. He gives the holy spirit to us. Another penciled in verse of lower case "spirit". 1 John 4:13, "By this we know that we abide in Him and He in us, because He has given us of His *spirit." His love is perfected in us. By the way I have no problem with capitalization of the Helper, the Holy Spirit, for He will teach you all things. From the heart, Ray |

1 John 4:13 (NASB-U) By this we know that we abide in Him and He in us, because He has given us of His Spirit. I have five other versions that agree with this one. |
