1 | 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? |

2 | 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. |
