Jesus said that the Holy Spirit would not speak on his own but would spread the word of God as Jesus did.

OK...and? What if I feel like the Holy Spirit is telling me you're full of hot air?

It might be considered a hot-air balloon race.

You keep asking these asinine questions knowing full well that we have the exact same authority and source that you do for the assertions YOU make and believe. Stop being childish. ! Cor 13, Galatians 5 and the Sermon on the Mount reveal UNAMBIGUOUSLY what the Spirit of God is like. You ignore it in favor of the descriptions of the Jewish War God because you do NOT test the Spirit of anything to see if it is compatible with the Spirit of God who IS agape love. Your antics are very tiresome, Vizio.

The Holy Spirit only speaks the words of God and reminds people what God and His prophets have spoken. He can do nothing on his own as Jesus said.

The Holy Spirit the world knows is a made up polterguiest that does not exist. Believe in it and you will die in your sin.

[i]
" The son can do nothing on his own he can only do what he sees the Father doing, whatever the Father does the son does likewise for the Father loves the son and whatever he does He shows him."

"The Holy Spirit whom the Father shall send in my name, he shall instruct you in everything and remind you of all that I told you."

"When he comes, the spirit of truth, he will guide you to all truth. He will not speak on his own but will speak what he hears and tell you the things that are to come. He will glorify me because he will take from what is mine and declare it to you"[/I]
