the church i assemble with teaches that at the resurrection foretold in rev 20:12-15, those who have not known christ will have their chance to know him, learn of his ways, and be accepted in his kingdom. i cannot for the life of me see this. what i see is that men (unlike those who remain faithful to christ tasked to be his kings and priests) will be judged according to his deeds. the ministers cannot show me anything beyond that god's will is that all be saved. i am saddened to note that having been given free will, many choose the broad gate (matthew 7:13,14) indeed. | ||||||

hi jeff! thanks a load. i had those excluded as i know them already and it has already been argued that this is just due to english grammatical convention and also due to bias of translators as the original has these in neuter *_*. so that does not prove or disprove anything. meantime, i will go through the verses you suggested and get back to you after. again, many thanks for responding. i scanned the unanswered questions and there was a veritable myriad of them and so i truly appreciate that you took time to answer mine *_*. take care, grace |

hi tim! below is a response i made for jeff but it also mentions the above verses you cited: Hi Jeff! So sorry I could only get back to you now. You must know that what is important to me is what the bible really teaches. I am not out to defend any doctrine taught by churches. Here are my thoughts on your response for whatever they are worth *_*. Now on to Mark 13:11 and Luke 12:12. If only there are no passages in the bible in the Greek manuscripts that use a pronoun for the Holy Spirit in the neuter gender I would naturally think the Holy Spirit is a person. But this is not so as in the sample verses below. The pronouns in the English translation are in the third person, but in Greek, they are in neuter gender. Jn 14:26 26 But the Helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in My name, He (Gk 1565 ekeinos) will teach you all things, and bring to your remembrance all things that I said to you. Jn 16:13 13 However, when He (Gk 1565, ekeinos), the Spirit of truth, has come, He will guide you into all truth; for He will not speak on His own authority, but whatever He hears He will speak; and He will tell you things to come. Jn 16:14 14 He (Gk 1565, ekeinos) will glorify Me, for He will take of what is Mine and declare it to you. Here is the definition of the original Greek word bolded and underlined above: ekeinos NT:1565 ekeinos (ek-i'-nos); from NT:1563; that one (or [neuter] thing); often intensified by the art. prefixed: (Biblesoft's New Exhaustive Strong's Numbers and Concordance with Expanded Greek-Hebrew Dictionary. Copyright © 1994, 2003 Biblesoft, Inc. and International Bible Translators, Inc.) So although the pronoun in the English translation is that of a third person, it is actually in neuter in the Greek language. Also, Mark 13:11 and Luke 12:12 do not prove the personhood of the Holy Spirit. In the following, the spirit of Job drinks; that of Asaph makes diligent search; that of King Nabuchadnezzar, was anxious to know; and that of man, knows the things in man. Job 6:4 4 For the arrows of the Almighty are within me; My spirit (Hebrew 7307 ruwach) drinks in their poison; The terrors of God are arrayed against me. Ps 77:6 6 I call to remembrance my song in the night; I meditate within my heart, And my spirit (Hebrew 7307 ruwach) makes diligent search. Da 2:3 3 And the king said to them, "I have had a dream, and my spirit (Hebrew 7307 ruwach) is anxious to know the dream." 1 Co 2:11 11 For what man knows the things of a man except the spirit (Greek 4151 pneuma) of the man which is in him? Even so no one knows the things of God except the Spirit (Greek Pneuma) of God. The verses that seem to me to imply a separate personhood are the following: Mt 28:19 19 Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, 2 Co 13:14 14 The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the communion of the Holy Spirit be with you all. Amen. Ge 1:1 - 2 Th 2:13 13 Stand Fast But we are bound to give thanks to God always for you, brethren beloved by the Lord, because God from the beginning chose you for salvation through sanctification by the Spirit and belief in the truth, But then again, we know that God the Father is a spirit; so is the Christ and the angels. The pronoun Scriptures assigned to them is that of third person. So why would the neuter pronoun be used of the Holy Spirit? Should you have any insight into any of the above, I would appreciate knowing them *_*. Take care, Grace |

hi tim! most certainly appreciate your thoughts and inputs on this matter especially with your so amiable spirit *_*. if it is just then a matter of grammatical convention of a language, then the question of whether the holy spirit is distinct and separate person for me is settled. may you spell for me the third person masc., fem., and neuter forms of the word ekeinos? providentially, in addition to mt 28:18, i found the following verses that separately mentions the father, the son, and the holy spirit in the same "breath" *_* to be of more help to me: Romans 15:30; 1 Cor 12:4-6; 2 Cor 13:14; 1 Pt 1:2. blessings to you tim, grace |

19 | Heb 1:7 licentious use of Ps 104:4? | Ps 104:4 | gdh1127 | 179794 | ||
hello brian! that is exactly how i understand ps 104:4. that is where the trouble lies because in heb 1:7 it is made to mean that god made his angels "just" spirits unlike our lord that he begot and calls his son. heb 1:7 is supposed to be a quote of ps 104:4. if the commentary's reading of ps 104:4 is correct, then the writer of hebrews is claiming a license to change its meaning to suit his treatise on angels vs christ. i know this is not so and that there is a logical explanation to this. so, would you know? take care, grace |

20 | Heb 1:7 licentious use of Ps 104:4? | Ps 104:4 | gdh1127 | 179839 | ||
hello john! thanks for the input. but i do believe there is a linguistic explanation for this and that although the original texts (greek writers quoting ot may it be from hebrew or greek renderings of it) agree, translation of the ot in hebrew or greek rendering into say english and nt in greek rendering into say english, something was lost *_* in the process. this is just a theory but i think it has good possibility. i just need someone who breaths ot hebrew and nt greek to show me *_*. blessings to you, grace |
