First of all, I take all attacks on my belief personally.
Second of all, I am a big boy playing on the ballfield, i can handle myself.

***Would you see that anyone who claims to have the Holy Spirit indwelling them might be capable of any crimes or sins no matter how horrific?***

No more than any Catholic priest might diddle with the boys. Again, no one is sin free. All sin, yes, even me.

***Therefore, you, the individual, by extension, cannot do anything that the Holy Spirit does not direct you to.***

I cannot do anything other than what the Holy Spirit ALLOWS me to do. I still sin, it is part of my nature.

I wonder which is more problematic to the angelic hosts, the fact that those who have salvation, will still backslide and sin because of their sin nature, or the reason for sinners who have salvation find and exhibit faith in Christ even though they still have an old sin nature?
