Your assumption here is that Jesus is saying that the Holy Spirit will lead *believers* to all truth *as individuals*. But neither the notion of believers in general, nor of individuals is present in the text.

Got it. Don't buy it, but I grasp your meaning.

We cannot carry this further, for we are, each of us, in self-enclosing circles of faith, teaching, and experience, and you shall no more alter my thinking than I shall alter yours. Let us, then table this discussion util such time as we have attained our eternal rest, whence we shall each have more perfect understanding, and be the more disposed to bear with each other's faults.

For now, let us agree to abide in the admonishment of St. Paul that, inasmuch as we are able, we ought be at peace with all men.

I, therefore, bid you peace.

Understood, and thanks for the discussion!

And oh, to think of that joyous day when we stand before the face of the Lord, when we have no need to debate truth, because Truth stands in His radiant fulness before us! :)

Oh, and apologies for the overuse of *asterisks* and the CAPS in my post above....I’m Italian, I even type emotionally. ;)
