    How is it that the Spirit of truth "will not speak on His own authority?"

    That's great - the authority goes to Him whose name it is accredited to! This is truly a fascinating aspect of the Trinity.

    How is it that the Spirit of truth "will not speak on His own authority?"

    Yes. Thanks. It's just such and interesting play on "authority" between God and Himself, via the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.

    How is it that the Spirit of truth "will not speak on His own authority?"

    That is a great explanation. Thank you.

    Do you do this?

    Bla bla bla... you don't remember even what we were discussing, and now you say things that are not true, for "All things come in parables."

    How is it that the Spirit of truth "will not speak on His own authority?"

    Yes, with the assumption that the Spirit of truth is the Holy Spirit...and therefore God, it is a curious statement to say the least. With more study or consideration, it would seem to indicate some sort of comparable authority that is expressed regarding the Son, whom is also God, and yet...

    Do you do this?

    But...it is all in how you see it: Luke 11:33-35 “No one, when he has lit a lamp, puts it in a secret place or under a basket, but on a lampstand, that those who come in may see the light. The lamp of the body is the eye. Therefore, when your eye is good, your whole body also is full of light...

    How is it that the Spirit of truth "will not speak on His own authority?"

    What would you say: How is it that the Spirit of truth "will not speak on His own authority?" John 16:13 However, when He, the Spirit of truth, has come, He will guide you into all truth; for He will not speak on His own authority, but whatever He hears He will speak; and He will tell you...

    Strong delusions

    It is good to ask questions, but better if you don't also answer them. Israel said much the same thing about the coming of Christ, and therefore did not receive Him. Christendom has done the same, only in spirit. He did indeed refer "to the generation that would see all these things." But...

    Strong delusions

    With very little exception, Christendom as a whole is under the [strong] delusion that "this generation" which Jesus identified as when "all these things will come"...is somehow...anyhow...not "this generation" as He said. Not seeing what they expected to see, they looked to the future for what...

    Do you do this?

    I am not preaching the opposite of what He said. But rather that you apparently read and hear the words of Christ and they are not spirit to you, which He said they are, and that "all things come in parables", which you do not express the meaning of. So I am giving you the parable meaning in...

    Protestant Apostasy Pending?

    The problem is...you think this is all about you or us. It's not, it never was. If you keep practicing to enter into the rest of God (the Sabbath) after the time is fulfilled and it is finished, it's about you. If you actually do enter into the rest of God...it's about God. Instead of becoming...

    A Biblical View of the Refugee Crisis

    Maybe he is saying that refugees should serve the master of the land where they go, just as Joseph did, thereby finding favor in the master's sight for all his people.

    Scripture is not the last word.

    Tell that to God, whom was quoted the same way by Satan. I said what I said clear enough. If you have questions, ask. If you don't understand, ask. But don't come back with the same comeback as Satan, or that is how I will answer both you and windmillcharge, and I have.

    Scripture is not the last word.

    Because it implements me in his error. In other words, he was trying to trick me by using my own comments to justify his error...just as Satan did in the garden. Would you like to side with him and Satan then? Because, by your comment, you have already. As for you not wanting to hear it...I...

    What will you say

    That is perhaps your interpretation. But the word is derived from the [peoples] surrounding Israel as a nation. So, in the context of Israel being a nation - it does not mean that Israel is not made up of individual people, and likewise, it does not mean the same of the gentile nations. We are...

    Protestant Apostasy Pending?

    I did not say Sabbath keeping is "part of the ceremonial laws", but that keeping it is a ceremony. Furthermore, Christ did not select which sins He died for as you seem to imply, but died for all sin. And to hear you describe it, it is obvious that you have made a religion of the ten...

    What will you say

    "Nations" means people: Genesis 1:1 (KJV)

    Scripture is not the last word.

    This I do, but not as you say. I was first taken up in the spirit, then drawn in the spirit to read the word of God, which is spirit. Even now, I go to His word for confirmation, but not confirmation in word, but in the spirit. The scriptures must be discerned spiritually. But don't point to me...

    Scripture is not the last word.

    If someone comments and says the words of Jesus Christ are not spirit, reject that person. But don't reject God as they have. John 6:63 "It is the Spirit who gives life; the flesh profits nothing. The words that I speak to you are spirit, and they are life." And if that someone says that Jesus...
