Bible Note: Ray: Good morning, my friend. Always good to hear from you. :-) OK. Let's try it your way for a moment. Webster's defines control as restrain, influence, regulate, govern, direct, rule. According to you, filled with the Holy Spirit does not mean controlled by the Holy Spirit. Therefore, the Holy Spirit, God, does NOT restrain, influence, regulate, govern, direct or rule. Grace and peace to you, kalos - - - - - - - - - - - - - control a : to exercise restraining or directing influence over : REGULATE (to govern or direct according to rule) b : to have power over : RULE (a prescribed guide for conduct or action ) (www.m-w.com/) |
