So,
EVERYBODY was
"Spiritually dead" before Pentecost??
That's
NOT what the Word of God says . . .
Job 33:4
The spirit of God has made me; the breath of the Almighty gives me life.
Psalm 143:10
Teach me to do your will, for you are my God; may your good Spirit lead me on level ground.
Exodus 31:3
And I have filled him with the Spirit of God, with skill, ability and knowledge in all kinds of crafts.
Genesis 41:38
So Pharaoh asked them, “Can we find anyone like this man (Joseph), one in whom is the spirit of God?”
Numbers 27:18
So the Lord said to Moses, “Take Joshua son of Nun, a man in whom is the spirit, and lay your hand on him.
1 Sam. 10:6-7
The Spirit of the Lord will come upon you (Saul) in power, and you will prophesy with them; and you will be changed into a different person. Once these signs are fulfilled, do whatever your hand finds to do, for God is with you.”
2 Samuel 23:2
“The Spirit of the Lord spoke through me (David); his word was on my tongue."
Shall I go on - or have you had enough?
classic example of one who is fatuous in the scriptures. either they do not know, nor understand the difference between being "FILLED" with the Spirit, and being "BORN" of the Spirit.
let me make it simple, really simple. born of the Spirit is permanent, being filled is temporary..
Job 33:4 “The spirit of God has made me; the breath of the Almighty gives me life”.
the Spirit/Yeshua made all of us… that’s nothing new. And he, Jesus/Yeshua gave all of us life by his breath… this have nothing to do with being Spiritually alive...
Psalm 143:10 Teach me to do your will, for you are my God; may your good Spirit lead me on level ground.
Teach me to do your will?. well we have a HISTORY of people keeping God will. was not the covenant God will. so they keep that, I have scripture that say different. may, may, may your good Spirit lead me on level ground. may is a condition, which is "IF" and that's if you obey.
Exodus 31:3 And I have filled him with the Spirit of God, with skill, ability and knowledge in all kinds of crafts.
All people have abilities… and gifts from God.
Genesis 41:38 So Pharaoh asked them, “Can we find anyone like this man (Joseph), one in whom is the spirit of God?”
well Daniel hadn't came on the scene yet. but here he is.Daniel 5:12 "Forasmuch as
an excellent spirit, and knowledge, and understanding, interpreting of dreams, and shewing of hard sentences, and dissolving of doubts,
were found in the same Daniel, whom the king named Belteshazzar: now let Daniel be called, and he will shew the interpretation.
Numbers 27:18 So the Lord said to Moses, “Take Joshua son of Nun, a man in whom is the spirit, and lay your hand on him.
1 Sam. 10:6-7 The Spirit of the Lord will come upon you (Saul) in power, and you will prophesy with them; and you will be changed into a different person. Once these signs are fulfilled, do whatever your hand finds to do, for God is with you.”
2 Samuel 23:2 “The Spirit of the Lord spoke through me (David); his word was on my tongue."
These scriptures above have nothing to do with being Spiritually alive to God. John 4:14 "
But whosoever drinketh of the water that I shall give him shall never thirst; but the water that I shall give him shall be in him a well of water springing up into everlasting life".
now which one of these
had everlasting life at the time they was living?. not one because the Spirit was not yet given, scripture, John 7:38 "He that believeth on me, as the scripture hath said, out of his belly shall flow rivers of living water. (But this spake he of the Spirit, which they that believe on him should receive:
for the Holy Ghost was not yet given; because that Jesus was not yet glorified.)"
Shall I go on - or have you had enough?
My God this is almost comical.
shall I go on...
Peace in Christ Jesus/Yeshua
