Mark 7:13

Thus you nullify the word of God by your tradition that you have handed down. And you do many things like that.” – Mark 7:13.

Jesus told us that men can render God’s power as useless because of our traditions. Religions and Christianity included are riddled with traditions that have been passed down to us. In fact traditions are often what defines religions. But Jesus wants us to not be followers of religion but to be followers of himself because it is he who will lead us to the Father. Jesus also said in John 14:6:

“I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.

Our brother Paul taught us in Romans 8:13-14 to be led by the Spirit of God and not follow the flesh or our own carnal nature.

for if you are living according to the flesh, you must die; but if by the Spirit you are putting to death the deeds of the body, you will live. 14For all who are being led by the Spirit of God, these are sons of God.

Our brother John taught us in 1 John 2:15-16 to not be of the world that we live in.

Do not love the world nor the things in the world. If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him. For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh and the lust of the eyes and the boastful pride of life, is not from the Father, but is from the world.

Rather we should be part of the Kingdom of God. Paul taught us this in Romans 14:17.

For the kingdom of God is not a matter of eating and drinking, but of righteousness, peace and joy in the Holy Spirit,

Hi T,
The Word is a lamp to our feet.

Written by the Holy Spirit through men and able to be understood by the Holy Spirit in us.
We do not walk in darkness but ever brightening light.

JN 14:17 that is the Spirit of truth, whom the world cannot receive, because it does not see Him or know Him, but you know Him because He abides with you and will be in you.
JN 15:26 “When the Helper comes, whom I will send to you from the Father, that is the Spirit of truth who proceeds from the Father, He will testify about Me,
JN 16:13 “But when He, the Spirit of truth, comes, He will guide you into all the truth; for He will not speak on His own initiative, but whatever He hears, He will speak; and He will disclose to you what is to come.
1JN 4:6 We are from God; he who knows God listens to us; he who is not from God does not listen to us. By this we know the spirit of truth and the spirit of error.
but if you are totally right then ;
MT 12:32 “ Whoever speaks a word against the Son of Man, it shall be forgiven him; but whoever speaks against the Holy Spirit, it shall not be forgiven him, either in this age or in the age to come.
LK 10:21 At that very time He rejoiced greatly in the Holy Spirit, and said, “I praise You, O Father, Lord of heaven and earth, that You have hidden these things from the wise and intelligent and have revealed them to infants. Yes, Father, for this way was well-pleasing in Your sight.
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 that I said to you.
so ED can you tell me if there are two spirit ;1 the holy spirit 2 the spirit of truth ? so what difference are they between them if they are not the same that is ,

Hi Pierre,
The “Holy Spirit” and the “Spirit of truth” are one in the same.

scriptures don’t say that right ?NO you do
God is a spirit being ,but also has a spirit of his own and a soul and a will , and can LOVE ,…………..
so by no means can it be his spirit body , but must be his will and other of his qualities ;for if it is not then we would be God himself and we are only sinners and man

Hi t,
Show the scripture that says what you say-that Nicodemus did not believe Jesus.
He admitted his confusion and skepticism but Jesus had the last say.
