Bible Note: Hi with faith i walk, I would like to talk about some of the things that you have written and show some of the differences we have in capitalization. 1) You said in #89396, "The spirit in this sense is not the "word of the gospel" but the true spirit that is God." The word "true" brings to mind Scriptures that talk of the one true God and also John 1:9 where both the latest NASB and the NKJ talk about the true Light which enlightens every man. I agree also with the new copyrighted NASB for 1 John 2:8 where it reads that "the true Light is already shining." And 1 John 1:5, that "God is Light". So my point is that I would not have written about the "true spirit" as you did, but rather the true Spirit, that is, God. So the question remains for Acts 15:8 of whether God gives them Himself or a gift. I also want to talk about "Deity", but I have to go feed a friend's dog right now. From the heart, Ray |
