Subject: How's praying in the Holy Spirit tongues |
Bible Note: Hi, brother Ray! I've been praying for you! Regarding the Holy Spirit enabling us to believe, please see John 16:13-15, 1 Thes 1:5-7, 2 Thes 2:13-14, 1 Peter 1:12 and 22, 1 John 5:6-9, etc. The Holy Spirit is always at the root of all truth, knowledge, and wisdom. "Would you say that that version was not giving the orthodox view for the verse?" No, I wouldn't say that. I'd say that orthodoxy has always held a consistent view of what is meant by "spirit." "Should we beware the version [light versus Light] as now being unorthodox?" No, I think one could look at easily either way. Orthodoxy has always held that it is a metaphor. (So have we all, unless we think the light from our computer screen is somehow diety!) God is also a "consuming fire." Obviously, that is a metaphor as well. I enjoy as well -- indeed love -- the interaction we all share as we deliberate over the Word. It's iron sharpening iron! In Him, Doc |
