1 | Acts 2:33 (*Promise*) | Acts 2:33 | Ray | 72806 | ||
Hi Logix, You have written words like "he has poured forth his spirit". I am a person who capitalizes pronouns of Deity because I believe that it is one way that we show that we "exalt" Him and show that He is God. So if you were to write "He has poured forth His spirit" then I would see Him exalted even through that means. I like the desire that you have expressed of exulting Jesus, but I do not agree that the "promise" is the exalted Jesus. May I suggest that the promise is the gift of the holy spirit. Acts 2:38, "...and you shall receive the gift of the *holy *spirit. For the promise is for you and your children, and for all who are far off, as many as the Lord our God shall call to Himself." Our translations capitalize Holy Spirit, but I do not believe that the Person is spoken of here in verse 38. I believe that the holy spirit is what is poured out and is what the people both saw and heard. I put in lower case the "Spirit" in Acts 2:18, "Even upon My bondslaves, both men and women, I will in those days pour forth of My *spirit And they shall prophesy." Yet I believe the Holy Spirit is a Person: Acts 2:33 to my mind could also read, "and having received from the Father the Holy Spirit's promise, He has poured forth this [holy spirit] that you both see and hear." What do you think? May God indeed guide us. From the heart, Ray |
