Subject: holy spirit guide men to write bible |
Bible Note: Hi Steve, I appeciate our time together here. From what you have said, however, I believe that you did not catch the lower case holy spirit of my post above. You wrote: "...then it would be more accurate to say, as you suggest, that the Holy Spirit is the breath/inspriration." Actually, what I suggested is that the holy spirit [sic] is the breath. In relating it to John 3, the holy spirit is like the wind or breath of God. The holy spirit is like the word of God. In other words, I believe that we have the Messenger and the message. We have the Holy Spirit and the holy spirit. We have the Giver and the gift. The Word and the word. We have the Light and the light. I also believe that we have the Morning Star and the morning star. I believe that we have the Spirit of Truth and the word of truth. These last two sentences are "penciled in" on my personal copy, but that is how I see it. In the Scriptures are both the Power and the power. 1 Corinthians 2:4, "And my message [lit. word] and my preaching were not in persuasive words of wisdom, but in demonstration of the *Spirt and of power, that your faith should not rest on the wisdom of men, but on the power of God." 1 Corinthians 12:6,7, "And there are varieties of effects, but the same God who works all things in all persons. But to each one is given the manifestation of the *Spirit for the common good." I added the *stars for comparison of the verses. From the heart, Ray |
