that is correct...including about the spirit of false Christianity..the spirit of apostasy which is rampant in the churches of today. Sadly.

I trust the inspired word of God, but have seen MANY people who claim the Holy Spirit inspired them to....do...or say.....and their talk and actions do not reflect Gods word.

2 Timothy 3:16
All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness:

ALL scripture. Does NOT say we are to trust people who say they have the magic of the Holy Spirit, we are to trust the inspired word of God. Evil people can say they have the Holy Spirits magic. Why do you call it magic?

1 John 4:1
Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world.

I have seen personally people who claimed to be filled with the Holy Spirit and do evil things. That is why we trust Gods unchanging word and not imperfect people. We are ALL imperfect, Gods word is perfect.
