Subject: filled Holy Spirit, or to walk in spirit

Bible Note: Hi terrib, I was led to Job 34:14 this morning. You understand that God's spirit is different from the Holy Spirit simply by looking at the different cases (lower and upper). Job 34:14 shows how we can interpret these things differently when we look at the NASB and the NKJ.

Job 34:14, NASB, "If He should determine [Lit. set His mind on Himself] to do so, If He should gather to Himself His spirit and His breath, 15 All flesh would perish together, And man would return to dust."

Job 34:14, NKJ, "If He should set His heart on it, If He should gather to Himself His Spirit and His breath, 15 All flesh would perish togeteher, And man would return to dust."

So, personally I go with the NASB and "His spirit and His breath." The Greek word "pneuma" means wind, spirit, or breath. I see no reason to confuse the verse with both lower and upper cases.

1) And yet, I see a difference between the Giver and the gift, the Spirit and the gift of breath. For Job 33:4 I have no problem with a capital "Spirit" and a lower case breath of life. Job 33:4, "The Spirit of God has made me, And the breath of the Almighty gives me life."

2) I see a difference between the "breath of life" in Genesis 2:7, 6:17, and 7:14,22 and "the breath of life from God", Revelation 11:11.

3) I see a difference between the wind that blows where it wishes, John 3:8; and the Spirit who works all these things, distributing to each one individually just as He wills, 1 Corinthians 12:11.
