"His Holy Spirit is the Teacher of His inspired Word."

That is exactly the function of the Paraclete Jesus gave to His Church. As for man, you cannot seriously claim that all of your beliefs (theology) you obtained without the help, guidance or teaching of any other humans. Rumor has it that you too are a man.

Let's jut agree to disagree. My recommendation is that you drink more decaf and pray to calm your spirit and work out your own Salvation. I'm doing just fine without you. Besides, your anger and agitation are not healthy for you either physically or spiritually.

Peace be to you

HIS Church is based on HIS Holy Spirit Word ALONE. The Holy Spirit has nothing to do with 'man made teachings' because they are 'of man' and not 'of God'.

As for man, you cannot seriously claim that all of your beliefs (theology) you obtained without the help, guidance or teaching of any other humans.

And you seriously cannot claim that all humans are the same. There are some 'of evil' and some 'of God'. 'Man' with man made teachings are not of God. Only what is God's, His Word, is 'of God'. Why the wrestle with such a concept that is easy to get? Pride is the hindrance that wants 'man' on the throne and not 'God'. But the Throne is God's and His Word is the FINAL Authority.

Let's jut agree to disagree.

It is not us who are disagreeing for It is Written. "For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. Ephesians 6:12

My recommendation is that you drink more decaf and pray to calm your spirit and work out your own Salvation.

What spirit is that - that needs decaf to calm it? I have no use of a 'recommendation' from man on what to drink as I only listen to God Who has given me water to drink where I will never thirst again. "Whoever drinks the water I give them will never thirst. Indeed, the water I give them will become in them a spring of water welling up to ETERNAL LIFE." John 4:14

I'm doing just fine without you.

It's not about me but Who is within me for It Is Written "I have been crucified with Christ and I no longer live, but Christ lives in me. The life I now live in the body, I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me." Gal 2:20

Besides, your anger and agitation are not healthy for you either physically or spiritually.

What is not healthy is believing in 'man' for 'the thief who came to kill, rob and destroy' uses them as his pawns with his man made teachings. Satan is who deceived through 'his words' of 'Did God really say'? There is nothing new under the sun.

"What has been will be again, what has been done will be done again; there is nothing new under the sun". Ecc 1:9

I am filled with the JOY of the Hply Spirit. This anger and agitation you speak of is of 'another' spirit so I'm not surprised you speak of it. Being born again of the Spirit of God - I am a new creation 'in Christ Jesus'. Praise God!

I am blessed because The WORD lives within me!
