Subject: What is to ask and receive the Holy Spir |
Bible Note: Mark, You are right on the money with Ephesians 4:4-6. The key word here is one. When we have an understanding of this word within it's context here. The questions and disagreements we have centering around this subject should be answered. One here is the greek word heis translated one,the first cardinal numeral;emphatic,one,even one,one single. When we brake it down using simple bible study principle (2 Tim 3:16,17, 2:15, 2 Peter 1:20,21) then we can set aside the speculation and sentimentality that can and does challenge all of us in one way or another.We dont have to debate. What we all have to do and nobody gets excluded from this one, is not allow our hearts to get hard and unwilling to change.Godly love and compassion will keep our hearts open to change and will enable us to be a much more closely knit family. And family we are. It'll help keep us close to God too. In Christ, lionheart |
