jr,
hub and I just believe that continually returning 'railing for railing' is anti-scriptural!!! -
11TIM. 4:2.
Preach The Word; be instant 'in season', out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort with all longsuffering and doctrine.
LUKE 9:5.
And whosoever will not receive you, when you go out of that city, shake off the very dust from your feet
for a testimony against them.

ROMANS 1:28.
And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind,
to do those things which are not convenient;
29.
Being filled with all unrighteousness, fornication, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness;
full of envy, murder, (((debate))), deceit, malignity; whisperers,..........................................................................................................

MAKE YOUR POINT PEOPLE AND THEN MOVE FORWARD, for as the Bible tells us,
(contention is like dripping water)...

You have just confirmed that Unconditional Election is unscriptural. Good for you.
...because of Adam death.

You probably meant "Adam's disobedience" which of course led to Adam's death.

@Nehemiah6 .....I have told you many times,God Saved me with out reading a bible ever....he chose me he drew me and he quickened my spirit to believe,a new birth in Christ.....you have kicked against the way I was saved for weeks.

That’s how I was saved and I will never ever deny it.

we have learned 'the hard way', that God's ways are so often way beyond our ways of understanding! -
for us, we have been taught that He doesn't ALWAYS do the same things the same way for everyone -
as it is written:
ROM. 10:20.
But Esaias is very bold, and saith, I was found of them that sought Me not;
I was made manifest unto them 'that asked not after Me'.
MATT. 7:7.
Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and you shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you:
8.
For every one that asks receives; and he that seeks finds; and to him that knocks it shall be opened.
we have learned to NOT put our SAVIOUR in our own individual BOX, it worked out that when we
did that, 'we were (WRONG)'...

Everytime I say to God..that will happen because I thought I knew best.....well it didn’t happen because I don’t know what is best.....only God knows what is best,so now I don’t even think about those words,...as I rely solely on Him.......”NOW” took a while though.

jr,
PLEASE, Jesus NEVER DEFENDED Himself, and nor should we -
it's OK to express, but not OK to 'defend', over, and over, and over,....
He is to be our EXAMPLE...

@jackrosie ...
I am assuming that your post you made a little while ago has been missed...
You said ( and please forgive me if I am wrong ) that you heard about Jesus from school , but the teaching never meant anything to you , and later on in life , you had a cleaning job at a vicarage , where they preached the Gospel , but you thought it was foolish , is this correct ?...
The reason I am bringing this up is because although you never read a bible , you had actually heard the Gospel , from when you were small , and later at the vicarage , and this may help those who come against you , because the night when you speak of getting saved , you had the Gospel in your heart , but you just weren't aware of it , does this make sense , or have I got it wrong?
...xox...

We will disagree, those of the Old Testament were filled with the same Holy Spirit As The Believers In Acts.

"Came UPON", not "entered". See Acts 2:17.

One would only need to read the first two verses of the Bible to answer this big theological question (tongue in cheek).

1 In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.
2 And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters.

I find this question very interesting....I wouldn’t be so bold to say I know the answer,so be careful who you listen to,as none of us are God.

God has always been.

Jesus came to save our souls/ spirit....a way to connect back to God...before Adam sinned,he was alive then he died spiritually.

Only the spirit of Jesus can save us,so in order for that to happenGod had to come down as man....He felt everything we do .

Not sure I answered your question,but hey,we can say anything on this thread about scripture,lol.

Then it saves other threads being derailed....that was the thinking behind this thread.

Have a good day and God Bless.

I see that as...internally,being filled with the Holy Spirit in their inner being/spirit......externally,to use to Glorify God,as from the power that was within them.

My belief,the Holy Spirit dwells in a believer,which is the new birth and there is power in your inner being,that power is the Holy Spirit,therefore what ever you do in His Name,all the Glory Goes To Him as we are nothing without Him....no power nada/zero.

I think we mostly agree. Go well.

My saving is a long story ,Rosemary....I can’t and don’t believe as many others.do on how they were saved,,you have got how God quickened my Spirit wrong...but it doesn’t matter,you are only trying to help.

I don’t have to defend my new birth and I won’t...but I will never deny it either.....it’s between God and I and will remain so....he chose me he drew me and he saved me....I did nothing to deserve it,nada/ zero.

I was saved 28 yrs ago.

Correct. That is why I pointed out the dilemma.

John 7:39 "(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.)"

Note that the word "given" is in italics, indicating that it does not appear in the Greek. So the verse really says;

"(But this spake he of the Spirit, which they that believe on him should receive: for the Holy Ghost was not yet; because that Jesus was not yet glorified.)"

Same Holy Spirit Upon The Old Testament Believers, Exactly The Same As The New Testament Believers (y)

1 Samuel 16:13KJV
13 Then Samuel took the horn of oil, and anointed him in the midst of his brethren: and the Spirit of the Lord came upon David from that day forward. So Samuel rose up, and went to Ramah.

Acts 1:8KJV
8 But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judaea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth.

1 Peter 4:14KJV
14 If ye be reproached for the name of Christ, happy are ye; for the spirit of glory and of God resteth upon you: on their part he is evil spoken of, but on your part he is glorified.

You were already told that "given" was necessary to complete the thought, but you continue to stay on this false line of thinking (in order to create a false doctrine), simply because given was not included in the Greek

Obviously you do not know the connection between the glorification and ascension of Christ and the giving or outpouring of the Holy Spirit on the day of Pentecost. But to prove that "given" is the necessary completion of that sentence, all English translations have it.

◄ John 7:39 ►
New International Version
By this he meant the Spirit, whom those who believed in him were later to receive. Up to that time the Spirit had not been given, since Jesus had not yet been glorified.

(When he said "living water," he was speaking of the Spirit, who would be given to everyone believing in him. But the Spirit had not yet been given, because Jesus had not yet entered into his glory.)

English Standard Version
Now this he said about the Spirit, whom those who believed in him were to receive, for as yet the Spirit had not been given, because Jesus was not yet glorified.

NET Bible
(Now he said this about the Spirit, whom those who believed in him were going to receive, for the Spirit had not yet been given, because Jesus was not yet glorified.)

Aramaic Bible in Plain English
But this he spoke about The Spirit, Whom those who were trusting in him were being prepared to receive; for The Spirit had not yet been given, because Yeshua had not yet been glorified.

Jubilee Bible 2000
(But this he spoke concerning the Spirit, which those that believe on him should receive, for the Holy Spirit was not yet given because Jesus was not yet glorified.)

American Standard Version
But this spake he of the Spirit, which they that believed on him were to receive: for the Spirit was not yet given ; because Jesus was not yet glorified.

Douay-Rheims Bible
Now this he said of the Spirit which they should receive, who believed in him: for as yet the Spirit was not given, because Jesus was not yet glorified.

English Revised Version

Webster's Bible Translation
(But this he spoke of the Spirit, which they that believe on him should receive, for the Holy Spirit was not yet given, because that Jesus was not yet glorified.)

Weymouth New Testament
He referred to the Spirit which those who believed in Him were to receive; for the Spirit was not bestowed as yet, because Jesus had not yet been glorified.

World English Bible
But he said this about the Spirit, which those believing in him were to receive. For the Holy Spirit was not yet given, because Jesus wasn't yet glorified.
