Bible Question:
Hebrews 6:4-8 is being discussed in another thread. I would like to shift some of the discussion to here. It has been pointed out that blasphemy of the Holy Spirit is not an issue in this passage. The issue here is being partakers and being filled with, tasting, and soaking up the Holy Spirit or as I would say, holy spirit. Can I get a discussion away from thinking of "man" and whether he has faith or works or repentance or backslidden? What can we learn about God here? I hate to tell you, but we will not have any say about whether a person will be allowed into heaven or not. That is up to God and His grace and mercy, and His knowledge and will. So my question is: Does anyone agree with me for the lower case 'holy spirit'? From the heart, Ray |
Bible Answer: Ray I would disagree I think the capitalization here is to show this passage is talking about a saved Spirit filled Christian. To me not capitalizing this would be like saying he was a good person that had a holy spirit (good/righteous spirit) but wasn't necessarily saved and filled with the Holy Spirit. To me Holy Spirit is talking about the third person of the Godhead who comes at our salvation to lead us to all truth and wisdom. The holy spirit is a spirit within man that strives for righteousness and sinless life. That’s how I see it. Be blessed my brother and how are you? EdB |
