Subject: Can one have the Spirit of God? |
Bible Note: Greetings Ray, I think we are in agreement on 1 Cor 7:40, however . . . Re Eph 1:13-14 "In Him, you also, after listening to the message of truth, the gospel of your salvation--having also believed, you were sealed in Him with the *Holy *Spirit of promise, Who is given as a pledge..." Our sealing is a work of the Holy Spirit. To me, the verse is clearer when I see Holy Spirit AND Who instead of who. You wrote: "Whenever a gift, a pledge, a promise, is GIVEN, I think lower case spirit. When the Giver of the gift is spoken of I think of Spirit. Those are my thoughts." My thoughts: If the Giver and the Gift are the same - they BOTH should be uppercase! This is in contrast to the "gifts" of the Spirit or the "fruit" of the Spirit. Blessings on your day! mommapbs |
