Does the Holy Spirit lead you into all truth?
 

If He does, how effective are His efforts? Does He lead you into all truth? All truth, really? If so, I suppose everything you believe is correct, no doubt about it! (But what about those other guys? :lol)

Re: Does the Holy Spirit lead you into all truth?
 

The other guys just don't know how to listen to God. ;)

Re: Does the Holy Spirit lead you into all truth?
 

He will lead you if you are willing to learn. Most times we have too much pride to admit that what we believe could actually be wrong. He will lead us, but more often that not, we'll ignore Him.

Aw man, is everyone gonna vote 'something else'? Should have left that one off! ;)

Re: Does the Holy Spirit lead you into all truth?
 

He will lead, but if you want all truth, you have to follow.

Re: Does the Holy Spirit lead you into all truth?
 

Evertyone says that! And it makes sense, I have to agree. But how can you tell if you have actually followed? You may think you "want all truth" (and I'm not really arguing that you don't -- that would be silly), but can you really say that about those "other guys" I mentioned? E.g., does one party of the AFP debate want truth and the other party not want truth?

Well, well. We have two Yeses! All truthers! Congratulations, you two. Hey, why don't you determine the winner of the AFP debate for us? :heeheehee

Re: Does the Holy Spirit lead you into all truth?
 

Not a Yesser here.... For sure.

Re: Does the Holy Spirit lead you into all truth?
 

YES! He will lead. But, he won't drive you into all truth! There's a VAST difference. To be lead, you must be willing to follow. Otherwise you are driven, and that is against your own will. He don't play like that.

Re: Does the Holy Spirit lead you into all truth?
 

I'm not sure how to vote. On the one hand, I believe that Yes, he does. But on the other hand, I know I think of it differently then the majority of the people here.

I think that the Holy Spirit leads you to Jesus, and continues to guide you in your relationship with Him. (As I believe that Jesus IS Truth, this constitutes as a yes to your question).

However, I don't think that means that He is a magic-8 ball that will give you all the answers to life, the universe, and everything.

I was wondering if anyone was going to catch that!

Re: Does the Holy Spirit lead you into all truth?
 

There is an old saying that you can lead a horse to the water. but you can't make
him drink.
In order to be taught, that person must have a teachable spirit. They WANT/DESIRE
to know TRUTH! The teacher or person that is teaching may not know whether the
person being taught has a teachable spirit, but God knows. The understanding of the
person being taught may not be opened IF they are not open to TRUTH. We must be
open and honest to believe and receive as a little child. We must become as a little
child to be converted. Trusting and believing

Blessings,

4 Yesses, yay!! :thumbsup

Don't any of the Yesses want to take a stab at this?

Re: Does the Holy Spirit lead you into all truth?
 

I was one of the "Yesses" but I should qualify that. I was really answering the question, "Does the Holy Spirit lead you into all truth?" The "Yes" response I selected, however, though the closest one to what I would answer, doesn't capture the meaning of my yes response.

When you created the poll, you created the "Yes, he DID IT perfectly..." response and the "Yes, sometimes..." response. I felt the first one most closely described my belief, but not completely. And the "Yes, sometimes..." is completely inappropriate, IMO.

The "Yes, he DID IT perfectly..." answer suggests (to me) that truth is a destination, or some pinnacle of spiritual revelation that we can somehow obtain or attain in this life. And while, I believe the Holy Spirit is our guide, to lead us into all truth (as the Scripture states), I don't believe it's a destination. It's a journey... a lifelong journey... a matter of "pressing toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus"... that should lead the submitted saint into deeper revelation and deeper walk with Jesus, who IS the Truth.

So, because I am filled with the Holy Spirit, and I'm walking in Truth (Jesus), I'm pressing toward that mark. Not as though I had already attained, but forgetting those things which are behind I reach forward unto those things which are ahead. I'm not there yet. I don't have full understanding. For now, I see through a glass -- darkly. But then... face to Face with the Truth, when my body has been redeemed and my salvation is complete, then YES! The Holy Spirit will have led me into ALL TRUTH! Praise God!

So, sorry! I'm gonna watch the AFP debate from the sidelines. I have my own views, but I'll keep them to myself.

God bless!

Thanks, Jaamez. :)

All truth today? Don't think so. That scripture was spoken to the apostles, they had all truth.
