This better describes the problem of the disagreements between the conflicting differences between the churches. The different churs=ches claim their church "Knows and understand what the "Spirt of truth" told them what is "all truth" and claim the others are wrong and do not understand.
You should believe evidence when the evidence contradicts the Bible. Absolutely. Follow the evidence. I used to believe as you did, but the evidence changed my mind.
John16:13, "But when he, the Spirit of truth, comes, he will guide you into all the truth. He will not speak on his own; he will speak only what he hears, and he will tell you what is yet to come."
Should I believe the clear Biblical evidence or your misinformation?
John 16: 13-15 (NCV) But when the Spirit of truth comes, he will lead you into all truth. He will not speak his own words, but he will speak only what he hears, and he will tell you what is to come. The Spirit of truth will bring glory to me, because he will take what I have to say and tell it...
God has godlike qualities such as being everywhere at once, knows what everyone is thinking and feeling, can do anything, can create out of nothing, knows everything including past, present, and future, has always existed, is beyond space and time, and can create realities. How can a being have...
As it is said, live and learn. 1 Corinthians 13:11 - When I was a child I used to speak as a child, To prefer as a child, To reason as a child: Now I have become a man I have laid aside the things of the child!

Yes I did. If you do not believe and obey what Gods Word says and continue in your sins and unbelief you will never understand Gods Words. This is because our sins separate us from God and His presence and we cannot understand God and His Word if he does not guide us and teaches us...
Yes it is.
I never said you did.
Yes it is.
However, you did in fact say:
So you are in fact attempting to explain something you yourself flat out stated can not be understood.
When asked what your end goal is you replied:
then when I asked:
you run off into left field with:
God also guides us and teaches us His Words through His Spirit if we ask Him. It is a part of Gods new covenant promise. See John 7:17; John 14:26; John16:13 and 1 John 2:27 and Hebrews 8:11 (part of Hebrews 8:10-12).
This is something you cannot understand as an unbeliever and does not believe and obey Gods Word. You can never know God and His Words if God is not your guide and teacher (Isaiah 55:8-9). God only promises to teach all those who believe and obey what His Word says (see John 3:36; John 14:26...
Since you asked what I believe about the Holy Spirit, I will tell you, and I will explain why.
God has godlike qualities such as being everywhere at once, knows what everyone is thinking and feeling, can do anything, can create out of nothing, knows everything including past, present, and...
I can accept that. Listen to God in your personal relationship with Him, for just as an earthly father may have household rules, he always has the authority to bend or override those rules for each of his children as he sees best, for he alone is the head of the household -- in partnership where...
Me neither brother, however I believe God is in control of His Words. The bible's old testament scriptures we have today is pretty much the same as the Hebrew or Jewish bible. Then we have the new testament scriptures made up of the 4x gospels and the writings of the Apostles. I believe both the...
Agreed Walt, that is the approach I also believe in and take with my personal bible studies. Looking at all scripture on subject matter and contexts are very important. Scripture does not contradict scripture. If anyone finds their interpretation of the scriptures is in contradiction to other...
From YOUR post #1335:
You cannot see this because you reject Jesus as your Messiah.
So Gods Word is hidden from you because of your unbelief.
So then God has not denied nonbelievers the ability to understand scripture, right?
Or did he as you have said in post #1335?
I repeated because you won't answer.
Its obvious that people " ask God for help" but
they get different answers.
So the advice is worthless.
And the more obvious because after claiming
you got it right, you go to talking about noah
and his big boat.
There was no boat or flood.
I ask about...
As posted earlier, the bible is not an ordinary book. According to the scriptures it is Gods Word and the way to salvation and eternal life and Gods forgiveness for our sins. You will never find the truth of Gods Word if you treat it like a book. You have to ask God to be your guide and teacher...
The book tells you to believe the book. :D
Who thinks that's evidence for anything?
And it's supposed to be believed on faith since
nothing can be verified. Not even Pi=3
I asked what the use if it when nobody knows what it means.
Each says " lo here!" And, " lo thrre" , each that
God gave...
