Receiving the Holy Spirit - John 20:19-23 and Acts 2

[BetteTheRed]

I never would say "this is the true meaning" of any Scripture passage since that is a nonsensical phrase suggesting there is one 'true' meaning. I have preached on the various flavours of the fruit of the spirit either alone or in conjunction with passages like "by their fruits you shall know them" and as alway the preaching task is based on the question "what ware these ancient texts saying to us today?" the answer might not bd the same every time.

I would say that a true test of the fruits of the Spirit is "how 'they' make you feel". It is an old, and maybe true adage that people care less about what you say than how you make them feel.

Thus one old philosopher declared the makings of religion when feeling and thought were separated and caused self elimination when there were excess divides ... never think without care in ... she's critcal ... especially about bad thoughts. One has to learn the difference ... why the folly of humanity as mankind ... kind 've like that! vast metaphysics ... metaphorically? Tis a grand etude ... you have to get out to observe ... just a peak (^) sensation?

Thats a Nin Yah in another expression ... where 1 of yah isn't ... is an incarnation ... nothing like it when it is gone as a thorny issue ... an upright point of sort ... instigation for rising son ... dark foboding myths of men doing as they please without reining in? Resistance ...

This often holds true when it comes to sermons

There's a thing brewed here in Fredericton called FEELS GOOD ... often too much of the same thing has implications ... to no end!

It may settle to the core ...
