Bible Note: Hi Ray, Sorry to hear that you had a rough time. I want you to know that I do pray for you from time to time. Be that as it may...back to the subject at hand. I do not wish to convey that my bottom line is whether a particular scripture is written in capitals or not. I compare scripture and context and what other scriptures also say and I believe in testing the spirits also. That being said, I still believe the Holy Spirit is within me as He is in every believer in Christ Jesus who died for his/her sins and rose from the dead. I still say the Holy Spirit is a person Who is within me not because of captitalization but because it also says "Greater is he that is in you than he that is in the world." [1 John 4:4]among other scriptures. In comparing verses 11 and 16 of I Cor. 2, I would say verse 11 distinguishes man's spirit from God's Spirit. I also believe that when verse 16 speaks of the mind of the Lord and that we have the mind of Christ, I believe it means that because we have His Spirit within us we have access to the mind of Christ. The Holy Spirit also will remind us of all that we have learned from Him and from His Word.[John 14:26]. Sincerely, Itiswritten |
