Bible Note: It seems to me that the most important thing that should be discussed when considering such topics is "What did the originating authors actually intend to say?" Hopefully, that kind of thinking is uppermost in all good, thorough and honest interpreters as they consider God's Word in rendering a new translation or updating one. As I said in my initial post, it still seems to me the Bible discusses two basic types of spirit: 1) His Spirit or 2) our spirit. That's because His priority is that He wants us to come Home to Him in Heaven instead of going home to the devil or hell which has been prepared for ALL those who refuse to believe AND obey His commands. Did you come up with another type of spirit? I don't see it in your response herewith. I await your reply, dear friend. Thanks for some interesting discussion and God bless. --Rowdy |
