Bible Question: How does the Holyspirit move among men? |
Bible Answer: Hi Julian, Welcome to the forum. I find your question of special interest because I am aware of how people capitalize their words. Your "Holyspirit" is a new combination to me. :) I say that not to poke fun at what may be a typo for you but to introduce how I look at this question concerning the Holy Spirit. I find that it is already difficult enough to distinguish between the Person of the Holy Spirit and the gift of the holy spirit. I would find Holy spirit, holy Spirit, and Holyspirit as an unnecessary burden. I would suggest that we all stick with Holy Spirit and holy spirit. Scriptures for you to compare/contrast: John 7:38, John 4:10, 14, John 3:3-12. Here we have to determine for ourselves how we will look on the spirit and breath of God. Are we born of water and spirit or water and Spirit? In John 4:10 is the gift of God or God Himself being spoken of; i.e. who is "it"? Are both the gift and the Giver spoken of in that verse? Does the spirit flow from us or from God in John 7:38? Steve is correct in giving you John 16:7ff for the Holy Spirit will disclose [it] and all things to us. The Holy Spirit is God just as Jesus is God. John 16 tells us that all things belong to God. Jesus declared all things (John 4:25), the Holy Spirit also will guide you into all the truth. Isaiah 42:5, "Thus says God the Lord, Who created the heavens and stretched them out, Who spread out the earth and its offspring, Who give breath to the people on it, And spirit to those who walk in it, 6 I am the Lord, I have have called you in righteousness, I will also hold you by the hand and watch over you, And I will appoint you as a covenant to the people, As a light to the nations,..." Acts 13:47, NKJ chosen over the NASB here, "For so the Lord has commanded us: 'I have set you as a light to the Gentiles, That you should be for salvation to the ends of the earth." So I would say that God has given us His breath, wind, and spirit that all might be born from above. Just as He is the Light of the world, we should be lights to our world. From the heart, Ray |
