Re: Please Help Me With A Scripture

The same is said of the Spirit (not speaking on His own authority, but speaking what He hears), and the meaning is the same: just as Jesus wasn't some guy promoting himself, but was simply the Messenger of God's truth, the Spirit won't be some spirit promoting itself, but would be the Messenger of God. Furthermore, the Spirit would be identifiable by its conformity to Christ and His doctrine. |
I will study your response when I get home. I appreciate your help, Esaias.
