Bible Question:
Hi graceful, I have stated through the years on this forum that I believed that the verses speaking of being filled with the Holy Spirit should be in the lower case "holy spirit". I believe that Jesus was filled with the holy spirit. That is my "penciled-in" interpretation of the Scriptures. I believe that the Holy Spirit comes "upon" someone, just as He did Jesus at His baptism; but the "filling" is the holy spirit. A question that has come to my mind has come from comparing Numbers 14:24 and 2 Corinthians 11:4. Is "a different spirit" one that should be sought after or put up with? What "different spirit" should we receive? 2 Corinthians 11:4, "...or you receive a different spirit which you have not received..." This implies that you should receive a spirit. Sorry I took so long to reply to you; let me hear from you. From the heart, Ray |
Bible Answer: You said, "I believe that the Holy Spirit comes "upon" someone, just as He did Jesus at His baptism; but the "filling" is the holy spirit." What's your Biblical support to remove the Caps from the Holy Spirit's title? Please explain further. Every reference I've seen has it in caps. This is the format the translators of the KVJ and modern translations use. Why change it? We all "pencil" in our interpretations of the Scriptures. Such penciling (is that a word?) should be done with the back of other Scriptures to avoid false doctrine. Thanks, Scott. |
