AMPLIFIED 2015 | Ephesians 4:23 and be continually renewed in the spirit of your mind [having a fresh, untarnished mental and spiritual attitude], |
Subject: Filled with Holy Spirit? |
Bible Note: Ray: Your taking the trouble to give me a definition of "heterodox" was kind but quite unnecessary, since I used it correctly in my post and obviously knew what it meant before you told me. .... But since YOU asked me to explain what a "scriptural QED" is, I'm happy to comply. "QED" is an abbreviation of the Latin "quod erat demonstrandum" meaning "that which was to be demonstrated." It is a phrase used to signal that a proof has just been completed. So, when I said, "I await still your furnishing of sufficient proof that would enable you to write a scriptural QED to your 'holy spirit' theory," the exact meaning of what I said should now be clear to you. .... So let's see whether you've learned anything about "QED" by using Matthew 3:11 as a test case. In your post to which I'm now responding, in the sixth paragraph thereof, you wrote: "The Holy Spirit came upon Jesus and He was filled with the holy spirit (sic) and washed and baptized with the word. Matthew 3:11: 'As for me, I baptize with water for repentence, but He who is coming after me is mightier than I, and I am not fit to remove His sandles; He will baptize you with the holy spirit (sic) and with fire.'" ..... Ray, what are you trying to prove by deliberately changing 'Holy Spirit' to 'holy spirit' in a direct quotation from the NASB, which obviously is the translation you quoted from? What gives you the liberty and authority to change anything that appears within quotation marks of a passage from which you make a direct quotation? Ray, it's not even being honest when one pretends to post a direct quote but takes the liberty to change whatever material he feels like changing that appears within the quotation marks. You have changed what the NASB rendered 'Holy Spirit' to 'holy spirit.' I can come up with no other reason that anyone would do such a thing unless it's an attempt to bend Scripture to agree with a false doctrine. That's exactly the tactics that Watchtower uses with their New World Translation. ..... By the way, I checked out the rendering in Matthew 3:11 of "Holy Spirit" in 11 versions of the Bible in addition to the NASB, making it a dozen versions in all. Without exception, they all agree with the NASB's rendering of 'Holy Spirit' and not 'holy spirit,' as you have done. Those additional 11 versions are KJV, NKJV, NIV, New Living Translation, Amplified Bible, Berkeley Translation, Holman Christian Standard Bible, English Standard Version, Today's English Version, New English Bible, and New Century Version. --Hank |
