Bible Question: What time span during which mary was visited by the angel to the time that Jesus recieving the Holy Spirit? mostly interrested in the BC dates. |
Bible Answer: Hi regguh, I would like to add some thoughts to the interpretation of Mark 1:10. 1) Jesus did not "receive" the Holy Spirit here. The Spirit like a dove descended UPON Him. It [dove] or He [Spirit] did not enter into Him as the Amplified states it; not here nor in John 1:32. 2) Scripture tells us that Jesus was full of the Holy Spirit; Luke 4:1. I have been encouraging people on this forum to consider a lower case "holy spirit" when the Scriptures talk about being filled with the holy spirit or receving the holy spirit. From the heart, Ray |
