"the Spirit of truth, whom the world cannot receive, because it neither sees Him nor knows Him; but you know Him, for He dwells with you and will be in you." (Jn. 14:17 NKJ)
"Behold, I send the Promise of My Father upon you; but tarry in the city of Jerusalem until you are endued with power from on high." (Lk. 24:49 NKJ)
So, when you read these verses, you clearly understand it to say "living people began to be indwelt at Pentecost."
That's interesting.
Do you think that by Jesus saying the Spirit merely dwells with his disciples at that particular time, that necessarily and clearly extrapolates out to "No one else was ever indwelt at any time before then." I wonder how you derive that universal meaning from a limited case?
And when you read "I send the Promise of My Father," instead of thinking Jesus is sending a particular promise at a particular time, you would instead read that as a clear universal declaration that Christ never indwelt anyone before this particular promise was sent?
Perhaps you could see how I struggle to see how you "connect the dots," when the dots seem so very far apart, in fact, some dots don't even seem to be there to connect.
