Bible Note: Hi Ray, I would submit that you and I are "almost" saying the same thing -- my thought is that as Jesus spoke John 4:24 "God is spirit, and those who worship Him must worship in spirit and truth." The spirit (ours and His)gives birth to worship and Romans 8:16 The Spirit Himself bears witness with our spirit that we are children of God. How does the Spirit (no distinction, but NASB) bear witness - through feeling, no, but through the Word which is the truth. The instruction to "be filled with the spirit" will result in our being "filled with are the psalms and hymns and spiritual songs; Ephesians 5:16. When the word of Christ richly dwells within us we teach and admonish one another with psalms and hymns and spiritual songs; Colossians 3:16" as you and I have written. kerux 12 |
