The Spirit of Power

[civic]

I've always found myself my favorite verses depends on what type of trial I'm going through but Rom 8 of course is very good. Some people like Psalm 91,. or Psalm 23 or all of John 3. Hahha....I think if people got in a fuss about it I think the best chapter in the Bible might be 1 Cor 13 the LOVE chapter to get them out of their strife. . I do agree though Rom 8 is very good!

Yes 1 Cor 13 is great

I didn't mean that literally, It's just my favorite. 1 Corinthians 13 Can't be beat. Without love we are just clanging symbols.

speech is masculine

the word is feminine

He Spoke the Word His Spirit

 

[Truther]

The Holy Ghost is actually a combination of the Father(God) and the glorified human spirit of His human son, since God resurrected His human son and fully indwelled him bodily. It is now known as God inside Christ…inside us.

 

[Theophilus]

Only the Holy Spirit knows what is fully good and right for us on a daily basis. Any other opinion can be only a part of the full truth, which is known by the Holy Spirit. In John 14–16, Jesus refers to the Holy Spirit repeatedly as the Spirit of truth.

Daily guidance is not something that was initiated by Jesus in His sending the Holy Spirit to us. Guidance has been God’s desire for His people throughout the ages. Numerous verses in the Old Testament point toward God’s guidance of His people.

Certainly, He provided daily guidance for His people as they left Egypt and crossed the wilderness to the land God had promised to them. His guidance then was manifested as a pillar of cloud by day and a pillar of fire by night. Remember the symbol of fire is usually associated with the Holy Spirit.

Take a look at the verses below, consider how the Lord is seeking to guide you as His child today.

The LORD is my shepherd;
I shall not want.
He makes me to lie down in green pastures;
He leads me beside the still waters Ps. 23:1–2

Trust in the LORD with all your heart,
And lean not on your own understanding;
In all your ways acknowledge Him,
And He shall direct your paths Prov. 3:5–6

Your ears shall hear a word behind you, saying,
“This is the way, walk in it,”
Whenever you turn to the right hand
Or whenever you turn to the left Isa. 30:21

God desires to make His will known to us. He wants us to know what to do and when to do it. Trust the Holy Spirit to be your daily Guide.

Here is the Holy Spirit in action and in power.
By the word of the Lord the heavens were made, And all the host of them by the breath of His mouth. Psalm 33:6

In Psalm 33:6, the word used for breath is ruwach, also translated spirit. Here we see the dynamic between the Word of the Lord (Jesus) and the Spirit in the creation. John 1:1-3, says he, Jesus (the Word), made all things. Here the Spirit and the Word are unified in creation.

 

[101G]

John 1:1-3, says he, Jesus (the Word), made all things. Here the Spirit and the Word are unified in creation.

just a question...."unified How?" for Isaiah 44:24 states he was "ALONE" and "BY HIMSELF". "Thus saith the LORD, thy redeemer, and he that formed thee from the womb, I am the LORD that maketh all things; that stretcheth forth the heavens alone; that spreadeth abroad the earth by myself;"

Alone means, "having no one else present", so how was they ..... unified?

[e v e]

A major point of confusion about the Holy Spirit concerns the differences between His activity

His Spirit is feminine.

101G.

The Word was with God (John 1:1) so there's 2 Persons mentioned.
The Word created everything (John 1:3) or the Word alone created everything (Isaiah 44:24) is saying the same thing: Only the Word created everything.
Now put all verses together and you get: The Word was with God (2 Persons mentioned) and the Word alone created everything.

A good example is when I do my assignment with my Teacher overlooking me. I was with my Teacher but I alone did my assignment. My Teacher was overlooking me but I alone did my assignment. My Teacher did not do any part of my assignment, I alone did my assignment.

 

[101G]

The Word was with God (John 1:1) so there's 2 Persons mentioned.

GINOLJC, to all,
Just because "WITH" is used it means two persons? let the bible educate you about with when it comes to the Godhead. scripture, Isaiah 41:4 "Who hath wrought and done it, calling the generations from the beginning? I the LORD, the first, and with the last; I am he." this sounds like two distinct persons .... correct. the "LORD" who is the First and the Last another Person .... right? ........well WRONG. Listen and Learn. Isaiah 48:12 "Hearken unto me, O Jacob and Israel, my called; I am he; I am the first, I also am the last." also means in addition; too. here it the SAME one PERSON just as the WORD in John 1:1 was "WITH" God and John 1:1c answer the "With", ..... And the Word was God. same one person.

do you understand? the bible doesn't lie.

now, if you have any questions, just as, this is what these Christian board are for..... QUESTION and ANSWERS in discussions.

May God bless.

Just one Question, is your Teacher "YOU?".

No why would you even think that lol ?

 

[101G]

His Spirit is feminine.

I agree with you to a point. My question is this, "is the Spirit feminine in Nature, or as said in Function. and here is why 101G say this. all men, (male or female), hands are feminine, because of Function. example the High Priest Aaron, when doing a function or activity, like laying his hands on a sheep or goat in his duties, or any man for example. his Gender is Masculine but the hands are feminine, not in NATURE, but in FUNCTION.

just like cars and boats, airplanes.... ect, are given feminine names, WHY? because of the function, in carrying things. just as the foot or feet, they carry.

@101G and @e v e

Bill Mounce Greek Professor

Heard a fascinating piece of bad exegesis the other day. The Holy Spirit is a she.

The basis of this claim was that the Hebrew word for “spirit” (ruach) is feminine. The short answer is that if this is true, then the Spirit is also an “it” since the Greek word for “spirit” (πνευμα) is neuter.

The longer answer is that Hebrew and Greek words follow what is called “grammatical gender.” This means that the gender of the word is not determined by its meaning but by other things. For example, all nouns ending in ματ are neuter. Since πνευμα is from the root πνευματ, it is therefore neuter. But that says nothing about how the Greek understood of the concept of God’s Spirit.

The best illustration of this is the Greek words for “sin” and “sinner.” “Sin” is a feminine noun, αμαρτια, but sin is not a feminine trait (as opposed to men). “Sinner” is a masculine noun, αμαρτωλος, but that does not mean that men (not using the word generically) are sinners (as opposed to women).

Now yes, sometimes there is a correlation between meaning and gender. Men’s names are masculine. Pronouns referring back to women are feminine. But apart from these obvious types of situations, the gender and meaning of a word are unrelated.

This makes John 16:13 interesting. “When the Spirit of truth (το πνευμα της αληθειας) comes, he (εκεινος) will guide you into all the truth.” The masculine εκεινος ges back to the masculine “Helper” of v 7 (παρακλητος). But is it not interesting that John can put the neuter πνευμα in apposition to the masculine εκεινος? Why?

Because the Bible teaches that all three members of the godhead are “persons” and that while God is more than the human categories of “masculine” and “feminine,” he is personal. The Holy Spirit is not a “she” or an “it.” He is a “person.” Hebrew and Greek follow grammatical gender.

@101G is trying to warp reality so that we can buy into his way of thinking. He's trying to physically unite both me and my Teacher into one person just like he's trying to unite both God the Father and God the Son into one person. Sorry, 101G, I'm not into warping reality these days.

First thanks for the update, and this, "fascinating piece of bad exegesis", ... (smile).

LOL, LOL, LOL, trying to warp reality? a. 101G is not a theoretical physicist, .... (smile), YIKES! (he do dabble a little). and B. 101G is a theoretical Christian, who reads God word DAILY and C, 101G is not trying to unite anything........ or as another say, "Split"..... lol, unite and split.... lol Oh Dear. where have you ever seen written by 101G of either? see this is how LIES get started, by misquoting someone. and this is just what been going on concerning our Lord and Saviour, the Lord Jesus...... misquoting him. if one is going to misquote the Lord Jesus or 101G, just don't say nothing, keep it to yourself. because as the Lord Jesus states, "IT IS WRITTEN". just as the Lord Jesus Words are not changing, nor 101G's. now as with the Lord, or 101G, go back and find where 101G or in the Lord word said the Godhead is a united, or split one?

if one cannot accept the TRUTH, then don't try to put word in the Lord Jesus mouth nor 101G's mouth. if you're going to quote the Lord or 101G, quote it right.

now, quote this. "God, who is the Holy Spirit, the LORD/Lord JESUS is the EQUAL "SHARE" of HIMSELF in Flesh, first human flesh, and Now GLORIFIED flesh... this is Called the "ECHAD or the "Diversity" of God in Amalgamation, that is to come fully.

so quote 101G on that ... ok....... ,,,,, (smile), 101G just LOVE the TRUTH, the Word of God, and all people, learned or not. for we all are God people.

How can I misquote you when I did not even quote you in the first place?!? There you go again warping reality once more.

By the way, is 101G you or someone else? I'm asking because you often times refer to 101G as a 3rd person.

 

[101G]

How can I misquote you when I did not even quote you in the first place?!? There you go again warping reality once more.

did 101G ever say anything about a face to face, you did, "You are not acknowledging the fact that the Greek word for "with" in John 1:1 is προς which means face to face and the Greek for "with" in Isaiah 41:4 (LXX) is "εις" which means to or towards."

then you said, I agreed to it, "Thank you. How about you @Wrangler? How much longer will you deny the following that @101G agreed to:". 101G has never agreed to any such Noesens. you injected that. this can be found in the topic, "Why The Trinity is Wrong: Juxtaposition"

By the way, is 101G you or someone else? I'm asking because you often times refer to 101G as a 3rd person.

Just like my Father in Heaven..... (smile)... Lol, Oh dear.
