Subject: 2 Thessalonians 2:1-12 WHO? |
Bible Note: John 14:16 I will ask the Father, and He will give you another Helper, that He may be with you forever; Jesus said forever, not until taken away; and another interesting thing that I just noticed is the NASB capitalizes pronouns when they reference the Godhead, the translator of the NASB must not hold that 2 Thes. refers to Him either,if you notice their use of the pronouns. I am with you, I too belived it was the Holy Spirit, but Scripture must harmonize and I do not see the harmony in the thought applied when Jesus said the Helper, (Holy Spirit) would remain with you forever. Unless we take it to mean the Holy Spirit in us and not in the world, but that would be an assumption that I cannot support with Scripture. In His Service, Cuddle PS I am enjoying this debate, I truly enjoy this exchange of understanding. I pray the Holy Spirit will teach us the truth of this passage. |
