Bible Note: Hi Doctrinsograce, I love it when forum members are working on the things of God at the same time. I wonder if you would read the post I just completed. The question that I was going to ask next in that post was "What have we received?" You have written here about what the world has to offer and you recognize that some of these things are good. Can we put then in lower case some of the things that we have received from God. In other words, consider 1 Corinthians 2:12. 1 Cor 2:12, NASB, "For we have received , not the spirit of the world, but the Spirit who is from God, that we might know the things freely given to us by God. 1 Cor 2:12, KJ, Thompson 1908, "Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the spirit [sic] which is of God; that we might know the things that are freely given us of God." Are you open to an interpretation of "receiving the spirit which is from God"; a holy spirit? Are you open to the idea that God provides us with His word [sic], His holy spirit, for it enlightens us?
