Blessings Brothers & Sisters Brother HAZARD & I recently participated in a Topic about "suicide",the discussion took it's turn and became another Topic about whether ot not Judas Iscariot was a Saved man and from there is became yet another Topic......was he a man indwelled with the Holy Spirit ? Finally ,after realizing we completely de=railed the Thread we decided to begin a new Thread to reason together I hold the position that the Old Testament Prophets as well as the 12 Disciples were not Indwelled,not yet.....not until the Day of Pentecost......Jesus had not ascended into Heaven & therefore His Spirit was not given,Jesus never lived "in a person" until after His Finished Work on the Cross,,,,,,,,granted,His Spirit,Gods Holy Spirit,the Holy Spirit could come "upon" man,an anointing giving them "access" to His Power but not "indwelled" We concluded with 2 different thoughts on these Scriptures.... Mark 3: 14, And he ordained twelve,, that they should be with him, and that he might send them forth to preach, 15, And to have power to heal sickness, and to cast out devils: 16, And Simon he surnamed Peter; 17, And James the son of Zebedee, and John the brother of James; and he surnamed them Boanerges, which is, The sons of thunder: 18, And Andrew, and Philip, and Bartholomew, and Matthew, and Thomas, and James the son of Alphaeus, and Thaddaeus, and Simon the Canaanite, 19, And Judas Iscariot, which also betrayed him: and they went into an house. Mark 6: 7, And he called unto him the twelve and began to send them forth by two, and two, and gave them power over unclean spirits: 8, And commanded them that they should take nothing for their journey, save a staff only; no scrip, no bread, no money in their purse: 9, But be shod with sandals; and not put on two coats. Mark 6: 12, And they went out, and preached that men should repent. 13, And they cast out many devils, and anointed with oil many that were sick and healed them. My comment was: Anointing,Indwelling,Authority,the Power,,,,,,what is the difference?Where does it come from? Let us remain loving, kind & respectful,it is not a debate...... Give God ALL the Glory!
