Why do you try to malign what I told you by inserting your own precepts? You are the one that keeps saying "Jesus is God". In fact he told the disciples when they told him he was good that only one was good and that was God."Lets face it" you are missing things I have told you and you are the one who is lacking. The kingdom of heaven was installed by the manufacture."Its not that I have a lack of faith, I am asking how it is possible that the spirit of truth, if you object to the word ghost, has not done even one single thing that Jesus said God would send the holy spirit to do if he already has come?"
It is not my personal objection to using the word holy ghost. Different cultures have different words to explain what a spirit is. You covered it nicely describing "disembodied spirits" as to where the problem may lie for some who are confused. The holy spirit is not some disembodied creature it is a little piece of heavenly treasure that is installed from the manufacture.
Did you read John 16:8-15? Read it again and tell me if Jesus is describing God sending another human being and what he would be sent by God to do, or if Jesus describing what an invisible spirit would be sent by God to do?
"Jesus mentions specific things that the spirit of truth would do that have not been done so how do you explain that fact with the claim that he has already come a very long time ago?"
You are speaking corporately for the whole when it has to be put on an individual basis. Not all are restored at that same point in time.
No, Jesus clearly says that the the Jews would be convinced that Jesus was right when the spirit of truth came. He is predicting his teaching being vindicated and accepted by the entire nation of Israel after being convinced that Jesus was right, not after 2000 or 10000 years depending where they each are at individually.
Lets face it, if Christians are going to continue to insist that Jesus was God or that Jesus claimed to be God the Jewish people as a whole will never be convinced that Jesus was right about anything and will probably continue to think that you have all been placed under a delusion and are lost and gone forever.
Your claims about Jesus being God in the flesh that you profess to be inspired by the holy spirit will only continue to convince the Jewish people that Jesus was insane and they were always right to reject his teaching out of hand.
The exact opposite of what Jesus said that the Spirit of truth would be sent by God to do...
I can tell you truthful things but can your carnal mind perceive them?
Or would you prefer to banter on about the religious affiliation of others?
Your precepts of "Jewish people" and those who are God's Jewish people that are called may not be one in the same.
You keep missing the point that the spirit God is not limited to only what you can now perceive.
The point was that the testimony that you claim is inspired by the holy spirit, that Jesus is God, brings the name of Jesus into disrepute, convinces the Jewish people that Jesus was insane, and the irrational christian beliefs that one unequalled God is really three coequal persons convinces them that they were always right to reject what Jesus taught.
The exact opposite of what Jesus himself said the Spirit of truth would do.
If anyone rejects the truth it is on them not you, if you reject truth it is on you not me. Having Christ means one is anointed with the salvation the Son of God provides. Do you take issue with that personally or are you just parroting someone else's talking points?
You can start first by answering questions I have asked of you.
Oh, so you do not believe that Jesus is God?
All apologies....
You still can just admit one way or the other whether or not the testimony of those who do claim that Jesus is God is inspired from within by the Spirit of Truth or a spirit of deception.
