Still, it is best to lean on Jesus Christ as your Good Shepherd for the wisdom in understanding His words because Strong's Concordance does not always have it right. Even at this KJV site with Strong's Concordance, they do not have its actual meaning in its entirety.
HTML Bible Index - King James Version - Strongs Concordance - Frames Version
1 John 2nd chapter has Christ defined in the Strong's Concordance as "from criw - chrio
5548; anointed, i.e. the Messiah, an epithet of Jesus:--Christ."
Christ means deity. That is the meaning of His name when in use in the verses.
1 John 2:22 Who is a liar but he that denieth that Jesus is the Christ? He is antichrist, that denieth the Father and the Son. KJV
How can denying the Son is the Christ is the same as denying the Father? This is why in how Christ is used in the verse, defines the name as referring to deity as confirmed by another verse where Rock as used in scripture also refers to deity.
1 Corinthians 10:4And did all drink the same spiritual drink: for they drank of that spiritual
Rock that followed them: and that
Rock was Christ.
To further illustrate this point ... we look at the Greek word "pneuma" from which the Holy Spirit is derived from, BUT that is not all that the word means.
"from pnew - pneo
4154; a current of air, i.e. breath (blast) or a breeze; by analogy or figuratively, a spirit, i.e. (human) the rational soul, (by implication) vital principle, mental disposition, etc., or (superhuman) an angel, demon, or (divine) God, Christ's spirit, the Holy Spirit:--ghost, life, spirit(-ual, -ually), mind. Compare yuch - psuche
5590."
So no one can say that all of those definitions can be applied to the Holy Spirit. No way. How it is used in the verse, defines the Greek word.
And modern Bibles have erred in capitalizing spirit when it was about the Holy Spirit at all. Examples below in how the NKJV have made that mistake.
John 6:63 It is t
he Spirit who gives life; the flesh profits nothing.
The words that I speak to you are spirit, and they are life.
NKJV
It cannot be the Spirit that gives life when Jesus was talking about His words being spirit and they are life. Is the Spirit a "they"? No.
So Spirit should never have been capitalized in that verse as it was about a vital principle or a mental disposition as being of the definitions of pneuma.
2 Corinthians 3:6 who also made us sufficient as ministers of the new covenant, not of the letter but
of the Spirit;a]">[
a] for the letter kills, but the
Spirit gives life.
NKJV
Again, not a testimony about the Holy Spirit but a vital principle or a mental disposition.
John 6:63 It is the spirit that quickeneth; the flesh profiteth nothing: the words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life. KJV
2 Corinthians 3:6 Who also hath made us able ministers of the new testament; not of the letter, but of the spirit: for the letter killeth, but the spirit giveth life. KJV
Anyway, when a Bible declines from the testimony of the Son by giving it to the Holy Spirit as being the Giver of life which explains the error of the Nicene creed.... it is not the truth in His words when it is the Son that gives life which is why all scripture points to Him to go to for life.
John 5:39 Search the scriptures; for in them ye think ye have eternal life: and they are they which testify of me. 40 And ye will not come to me, that ye might have life.
John 6:32 Then Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Moses gave you not that bread from heaven; but my Father giveth you the true bread from heaven.33
For the bread of God is he which cometh down from heaven, and giveth life unto the world. 34 Then said they unto him, Lord, evermore give us this bread. 35
And Jesus said unto them, I am the bread of life: he that cometh to me shall never hunger; and he that believeth on me shall never thirst.
All modern Bibles has this testimony, but because of errant translation, they give that glory solely to the Holy Spirit in the Nicene creed when the Holy Spirit would not take that glory away from the Son at all since it is His job to NOT speak of Himself, but to testify of the Son in seeking His glory and that includes in the scripture as well... the correct scripture keeping the truths in His words.
The Spirit is life.
Romans 8:2 For the law of the
Spirit of
life in Christ Jesus hath made me free from the law of sin and death.....10And if Christ be in you, the body is dead because of sin; but the
Spirit is life because of righteousness.
Jesus gives us the Spirit by the promise from the Father; and therefore it is the Son that gives us life. There can be no deviation from this as it is obvious how those in church history's ecumenical past have erred giving that sole glory of that title to the Holy Spirit in the modified Nicene creed.
As led by the Spirit of God, we are to testify of the Son in seeking His glory and modern Bibles translators have forgotten Who scripture is to point to.
