Bible Question:
Hi Searcher56, So if (i)It refers to anyone of the Trinity, capitalize in English. Our choice is whether the Spirit is the It or the One who gives life. My interpretation is that "The Spirit is the One who gives life; the flesh profits nothing;..." John 6:63 1 John 5:7, "And (i)It is the Spirit who bears witness, because the Spirit is the truth." My interpretation is "And the Spirit is the One who bears witness; because the Spirit is the truth." From the heart, Ray |
Bible Answer: Ray, my dear friend, I must admit you do seem to be just a little obsessed by this ministry of yours, as alluded to by Searcher. Maybe you've been called to this ministry but it seems to be dominating almost all your posts to the Forum, and thereby limiting the effectiveness of your posts if we on the Forum see it as being obsessive. But ultimately it's your call, between you and God. I do hope and pray God blesses you in your continued study of His Word. --Rowdy |
