2 | "promise or Promise?" | Matt 28:19 | Ray | 102710 | ||
I am always happy to see someone note Jesus as being a Person, (a Man, if you will) and as God. In thinking about Jesus as Spirit, what thought would you have while comparing Acts 1:4, Acts 1:8, and Luke 24:49? Do you agree with the NKJ version where the capitalization/interpretation speaks about the "Promise of My Father".? From the heart, Ray |

Promise, (The Holy Spirit of God) | ||||||
4 | "promise or Promise?" | Matt 28:19 | Ray | 102767 | ||
Hi khuck, Luke 24:49 and Acts 1:4 are the only two occurances that I know of in the NKJ that have the word "Promise" capitalized. Are there any others that you feel the translators/ interpreters of the NKJ should have capitalized? Perhaps Romans 9:9 or Galatians 3:22? There are 51 occurances of the word "promise" listed in my NASB concordance. None of them are capitalized. I am agreeing with the NASB here, but I would like to hear your thoughts or of anyone else interested in this question. What are your thoughts about Acts 1:4, Acts 1:8, and Luke 24:49? From the heart, Ray |

I believe that Jesus is instructing His disciples on one pending event in all three verses: The Promise of the Holy Spirit... The Day of Pentecost In Acts 1:4 it could very well read "the Promise" in the place of "the Holy Spirit" and still have the same meaning (in my understanding.) Or you could replace "the Promise of My Father" with "the Holy Spirit of My Father" and not lose the meaning and context of the other two verses(IMHO). Acts 1 4 And being assembled together with them, He commanded them not to depart from Jerusalem, but to wait for "the Promise of the Father", "which," He said, "you have heard from Me; 8 But you shall receive power when "the Holy Spirit" has come upon you; and you shall be witnesses to Me in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the end of the earth." Luke 24 49 Behold, I send the "Promise of My Father" upon you; but tarry in the city of Jerusalem until you are endued with power from on high." What the Father promised was to reconcile man unto Himself through the Sacrifice of Jesus. This could only take place through His Holy Spirit. note: God deals with us through the Holy Spirit (Romans 8:16). We deal with God through Jesus (John 14:13 and Hebrews 4:16). When we exist on the fleshly level, we are ruled by our bodies, and our souls and spirits are in second and third place. When we are born again, our spirits are moved to the dominant position and the Holy Spirit takes control. He helps us to conform to the image of Christ. In order for our salvation to be fulfilled we must have regeneration via The Holy Spirit, It is through Him working in us we have the Power to stand in Christ. My thoughts on the subject is that after the Cross and Resurrection, Pentecost was the most pivotal event to transpire in regards to reconciling man to God. Just a few of my views on the matter -khuck |
