1 | The Holy Spirit b4 Christ's ascension? | Num 11:25 | prazn | 85422 | ||
Throughout the New Testament, we are told that the Holy Spirit was given to mankind after Christ's resurrection and ascension. How was it possible for the Holy Spirit to descend upon and impregnate the virgin Mary (Luke 1:35); to fill John the Baptist (Luke 1:15), Simeon(Luke 2:25) and Anna the prophetess (Luke 2:36); and, to lead Jesus into the wilderness (Matthew 4:1)? Not to mention the Kings Saul and David, and the prophets Elijah and Elisha, among several other people referenced in the Old Testament (look up Holy Spirit or Spirit in the NASB word search). | ||||||
2 | The Holy Spirit b4 Christ's ascension? | Num 11:25 | Just Read Mark | 85423 | ||
Eternal Spirit. Hello Prazn. As I understand it, the Holy Spirit has always been active in our midst, from before creation onwards. I've put a passage from Numbers at the top -- because it looks amazingly like Pentecost. But still, the Spirit was only poured out on select leaders. That is what I see as the difference -- before Pentecost, the Spirit filled people selectively. Since Pentecost, the indwelling of the Spirit is a gift to ALL believers. Let us learn to walk in the Spirit, such an amazing gift. Yours JRM. |
