NASB | 1 John 5:10 The one who believes in the Son of God has the testimony in himself; the one who does not believe God has made Him a liar, because he has not believed in the testimony that God has given concerning His Son. |
AMPLIFIED 2015 | 1 John 5:10 The one who believes in the Son of God [who adheres to, trusts in, and relies confidently on Him as Savior] has the testimony within himself [because he can speak authoritatively about Christ from his own personal experience]. The one who does not believe God [in this way] has made Him [out to be] a liar, because he has not believed in the evidence that God has given regarding His Son. |
Subject: Is this referencing the Holy Spirit? |
Bible Note: Hi mommapbs, I am sorry that I caused you to think that I would try to link unbelief with blasphemy of the Holy Spirit. In other posts I have stated that blasphemy of the Holy Spirit is demonstrated by the Pharisees in Matthew 12:24 when they said that He "casts out demons only by Beelzebul the ruler of the demons". They were unbelievers but the actual blasphemy of the Holy Spirit was in their attributing the authority of Jesus to an unclean spirit or to Satan. 1) For Matthew 12:28 I interpret "Spirit" to be in the lower case. Here is my interpretation for what it is worth. Matthew 12:28, "But if I cast out demons by the *spirit of (God), then the kingdom of God has come upon you." Any comments? 2) Have you "penciled in" any upper case occurance of the "Witness" in your copy? Do you capitalize "Testimony" in 1 John 5:10? From the heart, Ray |
