Know your Paraclete/Helper. I can feel God all the time, any time. I feel at peace every time, regardless of what is happening around me. Berean Study Bible John 14: G243 ἄλλον means another of the same kind. The Paraclete is like Jesus. G3875 occurs five times in the New Testament, all in...

Actually, it did. Leviticus 18: Leviticus 18:

John 11: Everyone was weeping. Jesus felt compassion. As a human, Jesus wept in sympathy for others. It was an occasion for weeping. The Jews interpreted Jesus' tears as tears of love. Good question. Vertically, Jesus knew that he was about to raise Lazarus. Horizontally, he felt the pain of...

Quote my words of pretension to prove your accusation that I pretended to teach Greek to you as my student. Can you do that?

Right. Can you quote my words where I made this pretension?

I think so. Paul was chosen by Jesus to be an apostle. He wrote with authority. Churches recognized his authority. Peter confirmed his authority.

I believe so. The Lord told Ananias to deliver a message to Paul in Acts 9: Paul claimed authority by Jesus Christ in Gal 1: Paul claimed the Lord's authority in 1 Corinthians 14: We also constantly give thanks to God for this, that when you received the word of God that you heard from us...

Ephesians 5: Was this a command from Paul? Interestingly, in the Greek manuscript, the verb "submit" is not even there. Let's check the context in the previous verse: As brothers and sisters, a Christian brother should submit to a Christian sister and vice versa. Submit Ὑποτασσόμενοι...

verse? Note the boldface.

That's the time of the judges: In those days there was no king in Israel. Everyone did what was right in his own eyes.

Good questions. I relate that to the process of sanctification of growing in faith daily.

Sanctification is the process between initial justification and eventual glorification of our bodies. Step 1. Make sure that you have been born of the Spirit. 2. Familiarize yourself with the whole Bible by daily reading. 3. Pray daily. Make your prayers your prayer life. 4. Have a repentant...

I think the Holy Spirit/Paraclete informed Peter.

The nascent church experienced quite a few miracles. The episode of Ananias and Sapphira was one of them. Acts 5: Peter cited the Holy Spirit. I think Peter received a specific revelation directly from the Spirit. God terminated Anaias supernaturally. God terminated Sapphira supernaturally...

ESV Judges 11: What did Jephthah expect to come out when he made the vow? Brenton Septuagint Translation was more specific: Jephthah was thinking about a human sacrifice. Keil and Delitzsch: Ellicott explained: The consensus was a human sacrifice until modern times. Jephthah didn't think...

Sure.

I think there is only one unforgivable sin: A person commits it when he defiantly refuses the Holy Spirit for all time. Numbers 15 (NIV): Sinning defiantly is associated with blaspheming the LORD. It is a person who hardens his heart against the LORD. It foreshadows Jesus' concept of blasphemy...

What is the difference between Paraclete and the Holy Spirit?

This is a difficult one. Here is my attempt. 1 John 5: John addresses the brothers in the church. Perhaps John refers to blasphemy against the Holy Spirit, i.e., the unforgivable sin. Let P1 = the person who stubbornly refuses to admit his sin and therefore would not repent. Don't bother...
