A Grievous Wolf - Time for Truth

58. Is the Holy Ghost an “it” according to John 1:32; Romans 8:16, 26; and 1 Peter 1:11 in the KJV?
[Again – you may not go the Greek for any “light” if you are a KJV only advocate].
See remarks above with respect to “KJV only advocate” and ““light”” from ‘the Greek.’ The verses in
Question 58 read as follows, with the additions of Romans 8:17, 27, Hebrews 7:25. Note the underlined
words.
John 1:32 “And John bare record, saying, I saw the Spirit descending from heaven like a dove, and it
abode upon him.”
Romans 8:16-17 “The Spirit itself beareth witness with our spirit, that we are the children of God:
And if children, then heirs; heirs of God, and joint-heirs with Christ; if so be that we suffer with him,
that we may be also glorified together.”
Romans 8:26 “Likewise the Spirit also helpeth our infirmities: for we know not what we should pray
for as we ought: but the Spirit itself maketh intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered.
And he that searcheth the hearts knoweth what is the mind of the Spirit, because he maketh
intercession for the saints according to the will of God.”
Hebrews 7:25 “Wherefore he is able also to save them to the uttermost that come unto God by him,
seeing he ever liveth to make intercession for them.”
1 Peter 1:11 “Searching what, or what manner of time the Spirit of Christ which was in them did signify,
when it testified beforehand the sufferings of Christ, and the glory that should follow.”
Each of the above passages, including the cross reference Hebrews 7:25, contains a reference to the
Lord Jesus Christ.
The Biblical answer to Question 58 is therefore found in John 16:13-14. Again, note the underlined
words.
“Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth: for he shall not speak
of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak: and he will shew you things to come.
He shall glorify me: for he shall receive of mine, and shall shew it unto you.”
In passages where “the Spirit of Christ” draws attention to the Lord Jesus Christ, “the Spirit itself” glorifies
the Lord Jesus Christ. Therefore “he shall not speak of himself.” That is why the words “it” or
“itself” are found in John 1:32, Romans 8:16, 26, 1 Peter 1:11 and not “he” or “himself” as the
NIV/TNIV/2011NIV/NKJV wrongly insert in those verses.
Simple, really, as in Luke 10:21:
“In that hour Jesus rejoiced in spirit, and said, I thank thee, O Father, Lord of heaven and earth,
that thou hast hid these things from the wise and prudent, and hast revealed them unto babes: even
so, Father; for so it seemed good in thy sight.”
59. Does Luke 23:56 support a “Friday” crucifixion in the KJV? [No “day” here in Greek].
No. John 19:31 shows why. Regardless of ‘the Greek,’ “day” is where it should be in English in the
1611 Holy Bible in Luke 23:56. The modern counterfeits, NIV/TNIV/2011NIV/NKJV, are in error in
omitting “day” because the omission implies that the week of the crucifixion had only the normal Sabbath,
namely Saturday. However, as John 19:31 shows, that week had two Sabbaths, just as the seven
days of unleavened bread in Exodus 12:15-18 incorporated two Sabbaths.
“The Jews therefore, because it was the preparation, that the bodies should not remain upon the
cross on the sabbath day, (for that sabbath day was an high day,) besought Pilate that their legs
might be broken, and that they might be taken away.”
See the Ruckman Reference Bible pp 1257-1258 and Dr Ruckman’s commentary The Book of Matthew
pp 218, 584-585, 709. The Lord Jesus Christ was crucified on the Wednesday and the “high day” Sabbath
of that week was the next day, Thursday, followed by the conventional Sabbath, Saturday, such
that the Lord spent a full 72 hours “in the heart of the earth” according to Matthew 12:40.
