Likewise the Spirit also helps in our weaknesses. For we do not know what we should pray for as we ought, but the Spirit Himself makes intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered Romans 8:26 King James Version NASB Romans 8:26 In the same way the Spirit also helps our weakness; for we do not know how to pray as we should, but the Spirit Himself intercedes for us with groanings too deep for words; Ashbury: These people continue to misquote Scripture in a futile attempt to prove their pet doctrine, their denominational bias, whatever you want to call it. I call it just plain bad doctrine. One writes: "Also in Rom 8:26 Paul says that through praying in the Holy Ghost, or praying in other tongues, however you chose to phrase it, the Spirit helps our infirmites because we know not what we should pray for as we ought." But God says: "...the Spirit Himself makes intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered" Romans 8:26 King James Version In Romans 8:26 it does not say that we pray THROUGH (or IN) the Holy Spirit or that the Holy Spirit prays THROUGH us. What it says is: "the Spirit Himself makes intercession FOR us". FOR us, not THROUGH us and not IN us. In this verse (v. 28) how does He make intercession for us? In words (language)? No, but "with groanings which cannot be uttered." Groanings -- not words. Not a tongue (a language). And such groanings cannot be spoken, cannot be uttered. As the Amplified says, "with unspeakable yearnings and groanings too deep for utterance." Unspeakable yearnings. How does one SPEAK of things that are unspeakable? How does one UTTER that which is too deep for utterance? Grace to you, Kalos |

I am the 'one' whom you quoted I believe. And I said exactly what God said as well. And no, it does not say in the text in that verse that we pray through or in the Holy Spirit, however it does say in 1 Cor 14:14, If I pray in an unknown tongue my Spirit prayeth. So right there, Paul shows us, that the Spirit prays for us. And in Romans 8:26 he is showing us how the Spirit helps us. We are to pray in other tongues, do you not think we all should obey that simple commandment? God Bless, Mitch |
