Subject: Define 'spiritual death' |
Bible Note: Hi John, Now you have introduced a conflict of spirits. You have equated the spirit [sic] of Christ with the Holy Spirit. I don't believe that you are correct in doing that. Scriptures speak of the Spirit of Jesus (Acts 16:6) and the Spirit of God (Gen 1:2) but I can't think of any Spirit of the Holy Spirit. Personally, I think that the Holy Spirit has a holy spirit. I think also that we can think of spirit as breath and wind. John 3:8 speaks of the wind or spirit blowing and speaks of our being born of the Spirit [or spirit]. Luke 23:46 speaks of Jesus breathing out His last. I believe the Greek says He "breathed out the spirit". It speaks of Jesus committing to the Father His spirit [sic]. And having said this, He breathed out [the spirit]. So you see, I believe that we can think of a spirit of holiness, even Jesus Christ our Lord. He spoke the things of God and He breathed on the disciples. We are born again by His words of eternal life. What died and was finished on the cross were His words of spirit and life. I believe that we have to be filled with the holy spirit. And we who have Christ within us have the hope of glory. From the heart, Ray |
