Bible Note: Hi Tim, Thanks for your vote. I agree with you about the "I am" statements. The "I am" the Bread of life is an interesting study. I go with the good shepherd, however. The thing that holds me back on a decision on the Vine is the idea of the Vine-dresser. The only place that I don't see the Holy Spirit as a Person is when,as I've said, Scriptures talk of the filling of the Holy Spirit or full of the Spirit. There are other times also when it talks of the Spirit when actually it is a spirit or an angel. Acts 13:48 talks about rejoicing and glorifying the word of the Lord. Verse 49 talks about the word of the Lord. I believe they were filled with Scriptures to share. And they relied on the Lord for the right word of grace, Acts 14:3, but again I don't see any "control" here. We are led by the Spirit but we are to be filled with (the) holy spirit more or less by commandment. The disciples shook off the dust of their feet in protest in Acts 13:51, but perhaps they were still filled with love for one another. What do you think? Look at John 3:34 with me and consider another lower case spirit. "For He whom God has sent speaks the words of God; for He gives the spirit without measure." |
