Where is the TEST? | ||||||
2 | Where is the TEST? | 1 John 4:2 | Searcher56 | 115032 | ||
Scripture ... 1 John 4:1-3 .................... The test is what they do with (say about) Christ. He is both God and Man ... not a spirit or part of a story ... He also wasn't just a (good) man. |

Hi Searcher56, I thought your answer here was very good. Tell me what you had in mind when you said "not a spirit or part of a story". Right now I have penciled in my personal copy of the Scriptures a lower case "spirit" for 1 John 4:2, "By this you know the *spirit of God." From the heart, Ray |

I have heard that some teach that Jesus never existed and just is a story that Christians made up ... others say that He came in spirit form. | ||||||
5 | Where is the TEST? | 1 John 4:2 | Ray | 115230 | ||
Hi Searcher56, If someone taught that Jesus never came in the flesh, then they would definitely be demonstrating a spirit that did not come from God. They should take 1 John 4:2 to heart and reconsider. Although Jesus did not come in spirit form and was not a Spirit for He had emptied Himself and came in the likeness of men; he still had a spirit which He gave up at the cross. He had the breath of life from God just as we do. 1) Do you see any reason that Spirit must be capitalized in 1 John 4:2? The "Spirit of God" is between two occurances of "every spirit". I have "spirit of God" pencilled into my personal copy. From the heart, Ray |

Capitialization is a option of the translators | ||||||
7 | Where is the TEST? | 1 John 4:2 | Ray | 115382 | ||
Hi Searcher56, I am surprised that you did not address the question I posed to you? Do you see any reason why Spirit must be capitalized in "the Spirit of God" in 1 John4:2? Are you saying that capitalization is an option of the translators but is not an option for us? I believe the passage we are looking at right now tells us that it is our responsibility to know what kind of spirit we are of. From the heart, Ray |
