Bible Question:
I personally like to distinguish between the gift and the Giver; the spirit and the Spirit. Looking at 1 Cor 7:40, would you be willing to think of Paul as having the "spirit [sic] of God"? From the heart, Ray |
Bible Answer: "Now He who establishes us with you in Christ and anointed us is God who also sealed us and gave us the Spirit in our hearts as a pledge." 2 Cor 1:21-22 According to this verse, all believers have been given the Spirit. I suspect that Paul is perhaps justifying his opinion here by stating that he believes that it is from the indwelling Spirit. Frankly, marriage to a flawed human being is quite a challenge in comparison to being united with Jesus Christ so I am inclinded to agree with Paul on this! What are you thinking about Ray?
