Subject: Who is this One (or one)? |
Bible Note: Hi Hank, I don't think the shouter wants to help me here so I will talk to you about this English question. I know you are capable. If the verse reads "It is the Spirit that..." does that not outline as a sentence that the Spirit is an it? However, I would go with the Greek in that it reads "And the Spirit is the (One) witnessing, because the Spirit is the truth." What do you think, teach? From the hear, Ray |
