Subject: Raven, do you want ALL the Law? |
Bible Note: RAVEN: You wrote: "Well I guess I can't convience you that the Holy Spirit doesn't literally live in us." Well, you haven't convinced me because you have failed to address even once the Scripture I have cited. You wrote: "But if this true I just got one more question. Why do we have the inspired word of God if the Holy Spirit lives in us? It would seem to me that the Holy Spirit would guide us into all that is right thereby making the bible useless." We have the inspired word of God because He has chosen to operate through a written revelation He has provided us. The Spirit primarily works through the Scriptures to teach us. Both Scripture and the indwelling Spirit are infallible; and that is is one benefit that we have a written, external, infallible standard to reassure us when it is the infallible Spirit speaking to us and when it is our infallible selves. In any case, we have the word and the Spirit, both working in the sanctification of the believer. --Joe! |
