Hi KW,

Those in Christ have access to the Spirit of Grace.

Hi. T,

You would form your opinion of the words.

Compare verse with verse.

Hi t,

The light is the Spirit.

Hi t,

Yes you would think that.

But is the veil over your eyes when you read scripture?

Hi t,

No spiritual wisdom is gobbledegook to a carnal man.

Hi KW,

Good stuff.

Hi t,

The understanding of a natural man

1 Cor 2

Hi t

True.

Hi t,

Is it written?

Hi t,

The testimony of Jesus is the Spirit of Prophecy.

The Spirit of Christ was in the prophets.

Hi T,

Jn 14.26

But the Helper, the Holy Spirit whom the Father will send in my name,

He will teach you all things and bring to your remembrance

all I have said to you

Hi T,

Are you saying John the Baptist did not have the Spirit?

Hi T,

The Scriptures are meant to be what you check your teachings from the Spirit with.

Reliance just on the written word can be a trap.

Seek the Spirit.

Hi T,

And you are sure the words of Jesus Christ did not impact on him?

The words I have spoken to you are spirit and are life

The Word is living and active.

Hi T,

Those who had the Spirit recognised him.

Even pagan astrologers knew about him.

But carnal folks still misunderstand

Hi T,

Did you not realise the messiah was prophesied?

And Jesus was the appointed vessel.

Hi ED,

Jesus told us CHRIST means MESSIAH.

The long awaited prophesied messiah was born in Bethlehem.

Hi ED,

You do not understand 2Cor 13.1 then either.

verses must say the SAME THING to be regarded as proofs.

Corroboration is in the eye of the beholder

Hi,

And tradition still rules the understanding of many.

Their faith rests on the interpretations of men and not the Spirit.

They too then are like the whited sepulchres full of dead men’s bones

Hi T,

Yes there are verses to found that those who are oversure of their foundation can attempt to use to bludgeon others with.

Of course it is not the way of the lord.
