Bible Note: Hi Hank, (and Ray!) I've had a difficult time understanding what Ray is talking about also, even to the point of giving up. But I think I know now, Ray, let me know if I am right :-) By (lower case) holy spirit, are you referring to the new creature, or as in Ephesian 4:24 "And that ye put on the new man, which after God is created in righteousness and true holiness."? Is this "holy spirit" you speak of. I know there was no upper/lower case in the originals, and that the use of capitalization shows the translator's interpretation rather than anything actually contained in the text. In thinking of these texts which you have discussing in this way, differentiating between Holy Spirit and holy spirit, is this a differentiation between the Spirit of God, and the work He has done in us? Is this what you mean? Love in Christ, Mark |
