121 | 8 words of Deity in John 6:61-63: yes? | John 6:61 | Ray | 122340 | ||
Hi Tim, I envy you your knowledge of the languages and of English grammar. You are right of course about the number of pronouns; and I believe that there is the number seven of "He said" that is inferred depending on the phrasing in translation. What I "count" are the pronouns of Deity along with the nouns of Deity. So personally I count (with the "He said") four words (nouns and pronouns) that refer to Deity for verse 61. 1) Can you offer any suggestion of why the NASB chose not to include "in Himself" in their translation? 2) After the Son of Man ascends from where He was before, "who" or "what" gives life? The flesh profits nothing. Is it the Spirit or the spirit that gives life? 3) Is Jesus the Bread or the bread of life? How can this (m)Man give us His flesh to eat? From the heart, Ray |

122 | Spirit/spirit?Is Spirit given or spirit? | NT general Archive 1 | Ray | 122312 | ||
Acts 8:18 ..the (s)Spirit was bestowed through the laying on of the apostles' hands..." Acts 8:19, "...may receive the (h)Holy (s)Spirit." 1 Tim 4:14, "Do not neglect the spiritual gift within you... 1 Tim 1:6, "... kindle afresh the gift of God which is in you through the laying on of my hands." Question: Is not the holy spirit [sic] a spiritual gift from the Holy Spirit Himself? From the heart, Ray |

123 | Bread: Is it the spirit that gives life? | John 6:61 | Ray | 122288 | ||
As a counter of pronouns of Deity and a person who capitalizes words of Deity, and also as one who loves the NASB and regards it as a good literal translation, I have this question. For John 6:61 the NASB has only two pronouns. The NKJ and the three Interlinears available to me have four pronouns. I believe that this verse should be reconsidered by the Lockman Foundation. I believe that it is a key verse in interpretting verse 63 and understanding the statement of Jesus in John 6:48. There to my mind he was saying, "I am the Bread of life." This is a difficult statement; who can listen to it? From the heart, Ray |

124 | Spirit or spirit? Him or it? Distinguish | NT general Archive 1 | Ray | 122126 | ||
Hi Searcher56, Whether the original languages were in all CAPS or all lower case, God would want us to know that even though there are many gods there is only one God. Isaiah 46:9, "Remember the former things of old, for I am God, and there is no other; I am God, and there is none like Me." Surely, Searcher56 even you would take issue with some one who would put God in a lower case for John 1:1. 1) As far as "gift" is concerned, three or four Scriptures come to mind. These Scriptures deal with the gifts of the Holy Spirit; and they are difficult in that I do not know if they should be in lower case "holy spirit" or not. I still distinguish between the Giver and the gift. Are these gifts (holy spirit) or do they speak of the Person of the Holy Spirit? Hebrews 2:4, "God bearing witness with them, both by signs and wonders and by various miracles and by gifts of the (h)Holy (s)Sprit according to His own will." Acts 2:38, "and you shall receive the gift of the (h)Holy (s)Spirit." Acts 10:45, "...because the gift of the (h)Holy (s)Spirit had been poured out upon the Gentiles also." Are these gifts of or from? Are they gifts of holy spirit or gifts from the Holy Spirit? 2) When people say that they have received the Gift or have received the Baptism of the Holy Spirt, are they saying that they have received the Person or His holy spirit? 3) I peronally distinguish between the Holy Spirit coming upon us and between being filled with holy spirit. John 4:10, "Jesus answered and said to her, "If you knew the gift of God, and who it is who says to you, 'Give Me a drink', you would have asked Him and He would have given you living water." The question is: Do we know Him or "it" when we hear Him or "it"? Does He give the Spirit or the spirit without measure? Who or what does He pour out? Are we told not to quench the Spirit or the spirit? From the heart, Ray |

125 | So,spiritual gifts that are Spirit given | NT general Archive 1 | Ray | 122030 | ||
Hi Kalos, I agree that spiritual gifts are Spirit-given. I remember two people speaking in this thread about Spiritual gifts; but should this not have been written in the lower case "spiritual" as in your quote? People also speak of the "Gift" and the "Baptism". Do they know what they are talking about? From the heart, Ray |

126 | US go... even we, the disciples? | John 11:6 | Ray | 121547 | ||
See #8339 for reference. 1) Did the disciples follow Jesus and see the resurrection of His friend Lazarus? 2) Would we go, even we THE disciples, if it meant death to follow Him? See also John 18:17, 25. 3) Should we see the Light of the world in this passage? John 11:9 From the heart, Ray |

128 | Two swords:is the love of God enough | Eph 6:17 | Ray | 120483 | ||
"We need to do our best in every way to protect the saints, encourage them, and strengthen them just as Peter was encouraged to do." Are the word of God and praying in the Spirit the two swords? Luke 22:32: I have prayed for you...strengthen your brothers. Ephesians 6:10: Be strong in the Lord and in the strength of His might. Luke 22:43: Thy will be done. "Now an angel from heaven appeared to Him, strengthening Him. 44 And being in agony He was praying fervently; and His sweat became like drops of blood, falling down upon the ground."

129 | What are the devil's roads? | Eph 6:11 | Ray | 120420 | ||
I heard the first part of a message on this verse today and am sure that I will not hear the last part of it. Can anyone speak to the Greek "methodeia" as it relates to 2 Corinthians 2:11 also. I am considering the ways of thinking and the "roads" or ways that the devil would lead us on. The Greek for road is "ode" and we should not be unaware of his ways. From the heart, Ray |

130 | Can we agree? A case of agreement? | 1 John 5:8 | Ray | 119211 | ||
1 John 5:8, NASB, "For there are three that bear witness, the Spirit and the water and the blood; and the three are in agreement." 1 John 5:8, NKJ, "And there are three that bear witness on earth: the Spirit, the water, and the blood; and these three agree as one." 1 John 5:8, KJ, "And there are three that bear witness in earth, the spirit, and the water, and the blood: and these three agree in one." Question: Should these three agree in "case" as well? In other words, which interpretation is correct: Spirit or spirit? Upper or lower case? From the heart, Ray |

131 | "Your bread"?Or "loaves of Bread"? | NT general Archive 1 | Ray | 118992 | ||
Hi Kalos, Your post said that "The Hebrew in Deuteronomy 8:3 has "mouth of the Lord"; the Septuagint has "mouth of God". It is this latter that Jesus quotes." Jesus quoted that in Matthew 4:4. It is interesting to note that the NU text for the companion reference in Luke 4:4 omits that phrase "but on every word of God". These things have been thought about and discussed before don't you think? I wonder if you think that since Lord and God are both the same, we could look instead at the verse concerning the stones. The important thing to my mind is whether this Man is capable of changing the stones into Bread. Question: Does the Greek allow or suggest that there is "possession" involved. In other words could we interpret this verse concerning the stones in both Matthew 4:3 and Luke 4:3 as being "Your bread" or "loaves of Bread"? From the heart, Ray |

132 | Boasting: Blowing or tooting...? | Ps 75:10 | Ray | 118728 | ||
Psalm 75:10, NKJ, "All the horns of the wicked I will also cut off, But the horns of the righteous shall be exalted." Of whom is the pronoun "I" speaking of here? I am interested in this verse as one who counts pronouns of Deity. Should I count it or not? The verse of reference in our Study Bibles is Psalm 101:8. From the heart, Ray |

133 | Which version/interpretation? | Bible general Archive 2 | Ray | 117639 | ||
Which version/interpretation? Colossians 2:15, NASB, "When He had disarmed [Or, divested Himself of] the rulers and authorities, (He) made a public display of them, having triumphed over them through Him [Or, it]. Colossians 2:15, NKJ, "Having disarmed principalities and powers, (He) made a public spectacle of them, triumphing over them in it." Question: What all was nailed to the cross? A certificate of cancelled debt for sins? The Law with all its decrees? The body of Christ? All of the above? Romans 7:6, "But now we have been released from the Law, having died to that by which we were bound, so that we serve in newness of the (Spirit )[Or, spirit] and not in oldness of the letter." Parentheses here are mine for comparison of verses. From the heart, Ray |

134 | Gen 41:38 Spirit of God or divine spirit | Bible general Archive 2 | Ray | 116534 | ||
Hi lgtg, First of all I have to apologize to shey for I will not be speaking to her question since I feel that she should talk to someone who knows her. It has been known to happen in the past that our threads on the forum get off subject. If you think it best we can go to another thread. I have been thinking of the Holy Spirit and a desire to not quench His spirit lately. So I was thinking of what you have said and your Scripture references. 1) What do you think of "the spirit of the Lord" that is in you that makes you feel bold to venture an opinion about shey's dream? 2) In relation to the above question, which version would you go with for Genesis 41:38? Genesis 41:38, NASB, "Then Pharaoh said to his servants, "Can we find a man like this, in whom is a divine spirit?" Genesis 41:38, NKJ, "And Pharaoh said to his servants, "Can we find such a one as this, a man in whom is the Spirit of God?" From the heart, Ray |

135 | Holy Spirit or wind, breath, spirit? | Ps 51:3 | Ray | 116140 | ||
I have been considering Psalm 51:11 and Ezekiel 36:27 tonight and have "penciled in" some changes to my own personal copy. I wonder if you would consider putting Holy Spirit in lower case? Psalm 51:11, "Do not cast me away from Thy presence, And do not take Thy *holy *spirit from me." What I am considering is that "presence" and "holy spirit" and "salvation" would be more connected if spirit was in lower case. In other words, "Thy presence", "Thy holy spirit", and "Thy salvation". 2) Ezekiel 36:27, "And I will put My *spirit within you and cause you to walk in My statutes, and you will be careful to observe My ordinances." What I am considering here is that verse 26 speaks of a new heart and a new spirit within you, so a continuing with "My spirit within you" would make sense. Ezekiel 37:14, NASB, "And I will put My Spirit [marginal note, Or, breath] within you, and you will come to life, and I will place you on your own land." Here, with the incorporation of "breath" instead of "Spirit" we would be consistent in our usage of "spirit within you". What are your thoughts on the above? From the heart, Ray |

138 | promise from Holy Spirit; gift of h.s. | Mark 16:17 | Ray | 114427 | ||
P.S. I have used my pencil eraser through the years and wish to get back to this post. Now is your chance to set me straight with your comments. In my original post here, I had recommended a lower case holy spirit for Acts 2:33. I have it now in upper case for my personal copy since I now think of the verse as speaking both of the promise, the gift, and also the Person, the Holy Spirit. I offer these comparison verses: Acts 2:32, "This Jesus God raised up again, to which we are witnesses. 33 Therefore having been exalted to the right hand of God, and having received from the Father the promise of [from?] the Holy Spirit/, He has poured forth this which you both see and hear." John 7:38, "He who believes in Me, as the Scripture said, 'From his innermost being shall flow rivers of living water.'" 39 But this He spoke of the Spirit, whom those who believed in Him were to receive; for the Holy Spirit/ was not yet [given], because Jesus was not yet glorified." Acts 2:38, "And Peter said to them, "Repent, and let each of you be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins; 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." Comments and Scriptures, please. From the heart, Ray |

139 | Five words: see also 1 Cor 14:2 | Rom 8:16 | Ray | 114421 | ||
Hi, I have used my pencil eraser since I made this post that I am attaching to here. In the Romans 8:9-16 passage I now choose to put in lower case FIVE words of "spirit" instead of only THREE earlier. I would like some input from the forum concerning this change. I now see these comparisons of Scriptures: Romans 8:16, "The Spirit Himself bears witness with our spirit that we are children of (God)." Acts 15:7,8, "And after there had been much debate, Peter stood up and said to them, "Brethren, you know that in the early days God made a choice among you, that by my mouth the Gentiles should hear the word of the gospel and believe. 8 And God, who knows the heart, bore witness to them, giving them the *holy *spirit, just as (He) also did to us." Acts 5:32, [as I see it], also see NKJ, "And we are His witnesses of these things; and so is the *holy *spirit, which God has given to those who obey (Him)." Comments and Scriptures, please. From the heart, Ray |

140 | Whose Son is He? | 2 Cor 13:14 | Ray | 114275 | ||
Hi jcsav, I was interested in your lower case "spirit". Even the King James version has Spirit capitalized showing that the word spoke of Deity. Matthew 10:23, "But whenever they persecute you in this city, flee to the next; for truly I say to you, you shall not finish going through the cities of Israel, until the *Son of Man comes." Luke 21:14, "So make up your minds not to prepare to beforehand to defend yourselves; 15 for I will give you utterance and wisdom which none of your opponents will be able to resist or refute." Luke 21:27, "And then they will see 'the *Son of Man coming in a cloud' with power and great glory." Who is speaking in these passages and whose name is being spoken of? What do you think about the Christ? Who is the Spirit? Matthew 22:42, NKJ, "saying, "What do you think about the Christ, whose Son is He?..." From the heart, Ray |
