NASB | 2 Corinthians 11:4 For if one comes and preaches another Jesus whom we have not preached, or you receive a different spirit which you have not received, or a different gospel which you have not accepted, you bear this beautifully. |
AMPLIFIED 2015 | 2 Corinthians 11:4 For [you seem willing to allow it] if one comes and preaches another Jesus whom we have not preached, or if you receive a different spirit from the one you received, or a different gospel from the one you accepted. You tolerate all this beautifully [welcoming the deception]. |
Subject: Martin Luther actually said |
Bible Note: Dear Edb, He applied the passage: "You men who are stiff-necked and uncircumcised in heart and ears are always resisting the Holy Spirit; you are doing just as your fathers did." (Acts 7:51) Thus holding the same position as did Paul -- who will also fail under such broad strokes of the brush -- regarding those who rejected the Word of God. He even had more animus for people who held to private revelations -- you can read about them as luther connected with the anabaptists and folks like Thomas Muntzer. How can any man love the Word and not hate those who intentionally and continually refuse its revelation? One of the more humorous quotes of Luther was when he said, "They have swallowed the Holy Ghost feathers and all!" So as with such hateful criticism of anyone slightly Reformed, I cannot but wonder what kind of spirit is at work? Certainly not the Holy Spirit. Such malevolence should prick ones conscience a la Romans 9:1 long before such language becomes a public post. Oh how I long to interact with men who are anointed by the Spirit -- the one who instructs in the Word. Their first and foremost evidence of this, would be a far greater charity than I have seen here; a charity arising out of the fruit of the Holy Spirit (Galatians 5:22-23) without contrivance and without hypocrisy. By their fruit ye shall know them. All who look to the Scriptures alone will know what I mean, for the Word is a perfect mirror (James 1:23). Others will find self-justification easy to stir up from their own heart. In Him, Doc |
