So the Holy Spirit is leading people into error? I see, an evil Holy Spirit and a good Holy Spirit sort of like the Gnostic heresy that there was an evil god in the Old Testament and a new good god in the New Testament. People who claim the Holy Spirit would lead people away from Christ are themselves listening to whatever spirit is hanging in a nearby tree, not to the Holy Spirit.
The Holy Spirit doesn't lead people into error. Anyone who thinks that's possible is in essence denying that the Holy Spirit is part of the Trinity and therefore by definition is not Christian.
you got that right rash....
ive not ever gotten a reasonable answer to my question....if the bible alone is all that is needed, and the holy spirit is guiding us in understanding the word of God...why so many divergent views on essential christian doctrine?
anyone?
bueller? bueller?
Or they know what the Scriptures teach.
IIThess. 2:7ff
"For the mystery of lawlessness is already at work; only He who now restrains will do so until He is taken out of the way. And then that lawless one will be revealed whom the Lord will slay with the breath of His mouth and bring to and end by the appearance of His coming; that is, the one who is coming is in accord with the activity of Satan, with all power and signs and false wonders, and with all the deception of wickedness for those who perish, because they did not receive the love of the truth so as to be saved. And for this reason GOD WILL SEND UPON THEM A DELUDING INFLUENCE SO THAT THEY MIGHT BELIEVE WHAT IS FALSE, in order that they all may be judged who did not believe the truth, but took pleasure in wickedness."
May want to put the remote down and dust off that Bible.
