1 | Filled with the holy spirit? | Mark 1:10 | Ray | 148833 | ||
Hi Angel, You did some great work here. I would love to discuss your three points with you at some time down the road if possible. For now let me talk about your last sentence and the Scripture reference. You said that "we can accept the Holy Spirit as both God's Gift and the gift giver." You have chosen not to capitalize "giver" so I surmise that you would NOT say that "we can accept the Holy Spirit as both God's Gift and as the Giver of gifts." Please comment on that. Romans 5:5 is interesting because of the grammar of the Greek. We have in the choices of translation, "was given" as in the NASB or "is given" as in the KJ. Please comment. May I say again for any new reader that I believe in the three Persons of the Holy Trinity. I simply am suggesting the holy spirit as a gift. From the heart, Ray P.S. Good night. |

2 | Filled with the holy spirit? | Mark 1:10 | Morant61 | 148836 | ||
Greetings Ray! As for Rom. 5:5, I would go with: "...through the Holy Spirit, Who was given to us." 'Who was given' is an Aorist, Passive, Participle, so it would generally refer to past action. Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |

3 | Filled with the holy spirit? | Mark 1:10 | Ray | 148991 | ||
Hi Tim, Thanks for your post and information. In considering "the Holy Spirit who was given to us", I usually think of a gift; (to my mind, holy spirit). However, I would consider the Holy Spirit with you. Irregardless of whether the Holy Spirit "is given" or "was given", and certainly having been given to future believers as well; Christ died for the ungodly; at the right time. John 5:5 connects the Holy Spirit in equation to Christ in verse 6. Any comments on that thought? From the heart, Ray |
