More Bolshevik bologna. You cannot separate the Word of God from the Spirit of God. Once again:
(2Pe 1:21 KJV) For the prophecy came not in old time by the will of man: but holy men of God spake as they were moved by the Holy Ghost.
The Word of God IS the same as the Spirit of God; therefore, they can NEVER contradict one another. Jesus said:
(
Joh 4:24 KJV) God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth.
Whenever you try to separate the Bible from the Spirit you will fall into error.
(
Pro 21:2 KJV) Every way of a man is right in his own eyes: but the LORD pondereth the hearts.
(
Pro 14:12 KJV) There is a way which seemeth right unto a man, but the end thereof are the ways of death.
Jeremiah said, under the anointing of the Holy Ghost:
(
Jer 31:31 KJV) Behold, the days come, saith the LORD, that I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel, and with the house of Judah:
(
Jer 31:32 KJV) Not according to the covenant that I made with their fathers in the day that I took them by the hand to bring them out of the land of Egypt; which my covenant they brake, although I was an husband unto them, saith the LORD:
(
Jer 31:33 KJV) But this shall be the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel; After those days, saith the LORD,
I will put my law in their inward parts, and write it in their hearts; and will be their God, and they shall be my people.
Jesus said:
(
Mat 5:17 KJV) Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets:
I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil.
Paul said:
(1Co 10:11 KJV) Now all these things happened unto them for ensamples: and
they are written for our admonition, upon whom the ends of the world are come.
Aquila would rather ignore the Word than embrace it. By doing this he is rejecting the Holy Ghost and the what God desires for each of us - to write His Law on our hearts. Thus, he rejects the Spirit in favor of sloppy agape and touchy feely religion that is powerless. Peter spoke about those who "promise liberty" while rejecting God's Word":
(2Pe 2:17 KJV) These are wells without water, clouds that are carried with a tempest; to whom the mist of darkness is reserved for ever.
(2Pe 2:18 KJV) For when they speak great swelling words of vanity, they allure through the lusts of the flesh, through much wantonness, those that were clean escaped from them who live in error.
(2Pe 2:19 KJV) While they promise them liberty, they themselves are the servants of corruption: for of whom a man is overcome, of the same is he brought in bondage.
(2Pe 2:20 KJV) For if after they have escaped the pollutions of the world through the knowledge of the Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, they are again entangled therein, and overcome, the latter end is worse with them than the beginning.
(2Pe 2:21 KJV) For it had been better for them not to have known the way of righteousness, than, after they have known it, to turn from the holy commandment delivered unto them.
(2Pe 2:22 KJV) But it is happened unto them according to the true proverb, The dog is turned to his own vomit again; and the sow that was washed to her wallowing in the mire.
