Bible Note: Hi Steve, Again, it is good to talk of the "deep things of God" with you. I'll number my paragraphs as I write of the things that you brought up. 1) "Our spirit is informed by God's Spirit while the non-believer's spirit is informed by the 'spirit of this world' - Satan. I would have you know that there is much power in the spirit of God. Lk 11:20 and Mt 12:28 showed that there was power in the spirit (or finger) of God. I don't believe that we have to capitalize Spirit in 1 Cor 2:5 because it speaks of "receiving" *it or knowing "the *things freely given to us by (God)." John 4:25, "...when that One comes, (He) will declare all things to us." But there is power in the things given to us by God. 1 John 4:6 says in part, "By this we know the spirit of truth and the spirit of error." Going back to Lk 11:20 we see that Jesus did not cast out demons by the evil spirit Beelzebul but rather by the spirit of God. Don't think that just because "spirit" [sic] is in lower case that there is no power. There are other discussion points that you have brought to my mind but perhaps I should quit here for now and hear from you. From the heart, Ray |
