Subject: A man of God? |
Bible Note: Hi Rowdy, Your thoughts and Scripture references are excellent and compare and match well with the question about men of God. If anything was left out, it would be the spirit of a man of God. What kind of spirit are we of? Your Philippians passage talks about the Spirit of Jesus Christ in verse 19 and Philippians 2:1goes on and says, "If therefore there is any encouragement in Christ, if there is any consolation of love, if there is any fellowship of the Spirit, if any affection and compassion, 2 make my joy complete by being of the same mind, maintaining the same love, united in spirit, intent on one purpose." So, like I said, if anything was left out of your excellent post it would have been mention of the Spirit. And I, as one interested in pronouns would like to go on in Philippians and talk about this Man of God who emptied Himself. But going back to Philippians 1, can we as fellow believers be united in spirit (soul, harmony of feeling), intent on one purpose, stand firm in one spirit and/or Spirit? That is Paul's hope. Philippians 1:27. From the heart, Ray |
