Bible Note: Hi graceful, Thank you for your excellent answer and testimony. I know that God will continue to use you. I want to look at your Scriptures so that we can see how we might differ in our understanding of our triune God. For I believe that we differ primarily in how we view the power of the Holy Spirit. I don't see the Holy Spirit as the Person that does all the work. He is another Helper just as Jesus is our Helper and God is our Helper. And I believe that Jesus is at the right hand of Power. Mark 14:62, "And Jesus said, 'I am; and you shall see the Son of Man sitting at the right hand of Power, and coming with the clouds of heaven." 1) Matthew 3:16: I believe that the Holy Spirit comes "upon" a person when there is a task to be accomplished. 2) Matthew 4:1: I believe that Jesus was led by the Spirit just as you do. 3) Matthew 12:27: I believe that Jesus cast out demons by the spirit of God. 4) John 14:17: You are right in sensing that I believe that Jesus is the Holy Spirit also. I put an extra pronoun in my personal copy right now, and wonder if you would comment on it. Here is how I interpret it, "that is, the Spirit of Truth, whom the world cannot receive, because it does not see Him or know Him, but you know Him bacause He abides with you and *He will be in you." I add a pronoun in verse 11 also and you might compare verse 17 with it, "Believe Me that I am in the Father and the Father in Me; otherwise believe *Me because of the works themselves." 5) I also believe that Jesus was filled with holy spirit. I wonder if that is not what we are filled with as born-again believers. John 3:5-34 I appreciate your considering these things. From the heart, Ray |
