Subject: difference. filling of joy and fruit joy |
Bible Note: Hi Bill Mc, In the places where Scriptures speak of being "filled with the Holy Spirit" or full of the Spirit and of wisdom" or "full of faith and of the Holy Spirit" or here "full of joy and the Holy Spirit", I put in the lower case the "holy spirit". I do that in all the occcurances. I do not see the word filled as meaning "being controlled". I think that that is popular in the "Four Spiritual Laws" pamphlet as I recall, but I just don't see it. These words of joy, wisdom, faith, speaking the word,etc.are in the lower case and I think that this holy spirit should also be lower case. I'm thinking of some Old Testament passages where it would be confusing to have some words lower case and some capitalized. For instance when the passage speaks of the rock and fortress and refuge. One wouldn't speak of the Rock and fortress and refuge, although we certainly know Him as the Rock. You have written that "He was the vine and we are the branches" and also "we have been grafted into the Vine". I mention this because of my desire to have consistency in the Scriptures. Actually, I don't know if I have decided which it should be anyway, vine or Vine; probably Vine. Which would you say now if you had a choice of interpretation by capitalization? Anyway, every verse that has "filled with the holy spirit" is lower case for my mind and my copy. So in regard to the question here I would say that we are filled with joy and have joy as a fruit of the Spirit. |
