Hi TJ,
I only have a few minutes, so here goes.
The most important thing for one who can receive Jesus as their Savior is that it does not require a change; ie I do not have to change myself to be acceptable to God, only ask forforgiviness and recieve the free gift of salvation. All other religions require change.
Concerning the lifegiving part of the spirit, we are looking at two sides of the same coin; yes there has always been the life giving spirit, but to you and I we could only receive this life after the Last Adam.
Maybe there is some significance to the small "s" as others had mentioned?
Grace to you sister!
Shawn
