Subject: filled and upon mean the same thing |
Bible Note: Hi itiswritten, You can disagree with me about Ephesians 5:18. I can't remember anyone agreeing with me on that point. :) I don't remember anyone agreeing with a lower case holy spirit for Luke 1:15, Luke 1:41, Luke 1:67, Luke 4:1, Acts 2:4, Acts 4:8, Acts 4:31, Acts 9:17, or Acts 13:9. These are verses that speak of being "filled with the *holy *spirit to my mind. I can not find where these suggest being filled with the Person. 1) I referenced John 3:34 in my previous post and didn't make clear that I have a lower case *spirit for that verse as well. "For He whom God has sent speaks the words of God; for He gives the *spirit without measure." The idea of "giving" to my mind makes the spirit a gift to my mind. The verse talks about the "words of God" and equates them with the spirit. The references that I listed above for being filled with the holy spirit, have words like "and they prophesied", or "they spoke the word of God boldly", or "they began to speak", etc. And Ephesians 5:18, "but be filled with the *spirit, speaking to one another..." So, again, I see no mention of a Person in connection with being filled. That is why in every occurance of the "filling" I have holy spirit in lower case penciled in on my personal copy.
