        <description><![CDATA[<p>Brethren,</p><p>Let's look with new eyes at the Holy Spirit. Much has been said and written, yet foolishness <strong>prevails</strong>. From a biblical view, let's settle it and help me answer the questions below:</p><ol><li>Is the Holy Spirit mere energy, power, or a thing?</li><li>Is the Holy Spirit God?</li><li>Is the Holy Spirit wind or an influence?</li><li>What is the relationship between Christ and the Holy Spirit?</li><li>What references are there to the Holy Spirit in the Old Testament?</li><li>How is the Holy Spirit addressed in the Bible?</li><li>What are the attributes of the Holy Spirit?</li><li>Is the Holy Spirit a metaphor or a Divine Being?</li><li>What are the actions of the Holy Spirit from Scripture?</li><li>Are the actions of God and of the Spirit interchangeable? If so, what are they?</li></ol><p>These and other questions on the Holy Spirit can be asked to bring clarity to the subject matter. The average Christian wants and needs to know how the Holy Spirit dwells in me if the biblical evidence shows the Holy Spirit is an intelligent Divine Being? Mine your Bibles the answers? <strong>CM</strong></p>]]>

        <description><![CDATA[<p>Should culture be elevated, ignored, or abandoned when interpreting, sharing, and preaching across cultures?</p><ol><li>What role did culture play in God giving us the Bible?</li><li>Does culture influence the Bible?</li><li>Is God above culture?</li><li>These and other questions arise when it comes to "soul-winning" or witness. </li><li>Would you mind sharing your culturally unbiased views on this topic?</li><li>What Bible is the most cross-cultural in existence? </li><li>What Bible is the least culturally friendly?</li><li>Can one indeed be culturally sensitive without diminishing any biblical teaching? <strong>CM</strong></li></ol><p><br /></p><p><strong>PS.</strong> This OP is a B. Mitchell special (living in Japan). We want to hear from you on this subject. <strong>CM</strong></p>]]>
