It seems to me that you can't reasonably occupy the position that there are no revelations from God, no testimony of his truths (scriptures), and at same time say the Holy Spirit guides and comforts you every day. Please explain how you can hold both positions.

Jesus said that the Holy Spirit would bring the ministry of Christ to our remembrance, as opposed to bringing us new revelation.

So, of course, the Holy Spirit does, in fact, unfold already existing scripture to us, and leads, guides, and comforts us with those same scriptures.

But but but ... where is room for the mormon perspective of making God a debtor to the good works of mormons in that ministry of the Holy Spirit?... ‘Isn’t the function of religion to manipulate God?’ the mormon apologist might ask. /sarc

So your contention is that the Holy Spirit is now only testifies of the Gospel in the past tense? If you are receiving Guidance day by day isn't that new guidance?

I fear I am not completely understanding what you are saying, would you like to go private and explain it to me?
