NASB | 1 John 2:2 and He Himself is the propitiation for our sins; and not for ours only, but also for those of the whole world. |
AMPLIFIED 2015 | 1 John 2:2 And He [that same Jesus] is the propitiation for our sins [the atoning sacrifice that holds back the wrath of God that would otherwise be directed at us because of our sinful nature--our worldliness, our lifestyle]; and not for ours alone, but also for [the sins of all believers throughout] the whole world. |

Bible Note: I'm with you on your position, this one anyway...:0)) You a Nazarene and me a Pentecostal, I'm sure we could come up with a difference of opinion here and there. But no, your responses have been excellent, more than I would have thought of. The verse I offered I remember from my experiences in the Holy Spirit and the ability we have in quenching Him thus "Thwarting" His purpose for the moment or messing up some specific opportunity by not responding to His urgings. I know that to be real not only in my own life but the lives of others who have been there. If the Spirit is subject to the prophet [1Cor.14.37] that means the prophet has the mind of God and but has option NOT to speak it. Of course there are reasons why one wouldn't. See Balaam and the donkey. I don't wish to resurrect the thread but suffice to say it's a "freewill" thing through and through. Can't be any other way and call it God's love. Regards, Ken |
