Bible Question:
Hi Ray, First let me correct my question. I should have said "Act 10:44 While Peter yet spake2980 (was laleoing) these5023 words,4487 (rhema) the3588 Holy40 Ghost4151 fell1968 on1909 all3956 them which heard191 the3588 word.3056 (logos)." The interpretation I that is being passed around is that rhema is when the Holy Spirit applies the logos internally and effectively to the heart. Here we have and action of speaking the rhema ( word) and the logos is heard (word). If anything it is the logos which is received internally in this text. I note, with appreciation, the ensuing discussion which I study and respond to in due course. |
Bible Answer: Hi Ronaldo, I was wrong about "rhema" not being in Acts 10:44 for actually, it is. I agree with you that "If anything it is the logos which is received internally in this text." I wonder if you would consider putting in lower case the gift of the holy spirit of verse 45 and the receiving of the holy spirit of verse 47? That is what I have "penciled in" for my personal copy. Again, be assured that I believe in the Person of the Holy Spirit as the Giver. But I also see the holy spirit as the gift. The greatest gift besides the gift of His Son is the gift of the word of God. Acts 11:1, "Now the apostles and the brethren who were throughout Judea heard that the Gentiles also had received the word [Strong's #3057, logos] of God." From the heart, Ray |
