Bible Note: Hi Bill Mc, Thank you for responding to me. I was not saying by this question that there is a difference between the Spirit of God and the Spirit of Christ. Basically, I'm introducing the idea that there is "spirit of holiness" as well as the Holy Spirit. Let me get back to that after I've agreed more and questioned some about your post to me. You might rethink your opinion about the Spirit of God leaving Him for it is just that righteous Spirit in us that will give life to our mortal bodies after we die. Romans 8:10 I think that He cried out in Matthew because He was forsaken as a Man. "This Man is calling for Elijah." Matthew 27:47 Now as far as 1John 3:24-4:3, I believe that the passage is speaking about the spirit that we receive, the spirits that we are to test, that we are to use to confess that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh, and also the spirit of the antichrist. I also believe that Matthew 12:28 and Luke 11:20 give credence to the operation of a spiritual power as well as the Person. In Christ (and His spirit) Ray |
