Admin	Beattitudes and the Gifts Posted : 5 Dec, 2010 04:19 PM Is it possible that the Beatitudes parallel the Gifts of the Spirit? I was studying this a long time ago. I never had heard any teaching about it but thought it was interesting. From the KJV. Gal 5:22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, Gal 5:23 Meekness, temperance: against such there is no law. The gifts are in parenthesis _ Mat 5:3 Blessed are the poor in spirit: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. (faith) Mat 5:4 Blessed are they that mourn: for they shall be comforted. (gentleness) Mat 5:5 Blessed are the meek: for they shall inherit the earth. (meekness) Mat 5:6 Blessed are they which do hunger and thirst after righteousness: for they shall be filled. (longsuffering) Mat 5:7 Blessed are the merciful: for they shall obtain mercy. (goodness) Mat 5:8 Blessed are the pure in heart: for they shall see God. (love) Mat 5:9 Blessed are the peacemakers: for they shall be called the children of God. (peace) Mat 5:10 Blessed are they which are persecuted for righteousness' sake: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. (temperance) Mat 5:11 Blessed are ye, when men shall revile you, and persecute you, and shall say all manner of evil against you falsely, for my sake. Mat 5:12 Rejoice, and be exceeding glad: for great is your reward in heaven: for so persecuted they the prophets which were before you. (joy) Just a thought. Thunder Post Reply

At first I was fascinated and awed, then a whisper said to me, why would you be awestruck, there is only one Holy Spirit would He not be consistent? I grinned real big and said yes!.....but it is still fascinating! Post Reply

View Profile History	Beattitudes and the Gifts Posted : 6 Dec, 2010 10:10 AM You're right, I meant fruit of the Spirit. Thanks for pointing it out. Fortunately, I'm not posting this to a group that wouldn't miss the error on my part. :glow: Thunder, the unknown reindeer. Post Reply
