But if anyone does not have the Spirit of Christ, he does not belong to Him [and is not a child of God]. [Rom 8:14] |
Subject: filled Holy Spirit, or to walk in spirit |
Bible Note: Hi terrib, If there is confusion between us it might revolve around the "man's spirit" that you spoke of here. Just because I put spirit in a lower case does not mean that I am talking about man's spirit. The spirit that we receive is God's spirit. For instance, Ezekiel 36:26, "Then I will sprinkle clean water on you, and you will be clean; I will cleanse you from all your filthiness and from all your idols. 26 Moreover, I will give you a new heart and a new spirit within you; and I will remove the heart of stone from your flesh and give you a heart of flesh." Ezekiel 36:27 is where I would have people consider continuing with the lower case spirit so I would put a star next to it or indicate a choice in interpretation can be made. Verse 27, "And I will put My (s)Spirit within you and cause you to walk in My statutes,..." Thus a choice of interpretation is offered. Or, I would put a star next to the word to show that I have made a choice that differs from the NASB that I am quoting. Verse 27, "And I will put My *spirit within you and cause you to walk in My statutes..." I have always tried to make my interpretations clear (that they are my interpretation) and have not tried to deceive in any way. From the heart, Ray |
