The Holy Spirit speaks in all times THROUGH the Holy Spirit inspired Scriptures

No. John 14:26 did not add "THROUGH", etc. You made it up. That is the quality of all your proof-texts: traditions of men and wishful thinking of men and a few verses without context for a cover-up.

Why don't you show me where I said John 14:26 said "the Holy Spirit speaks through Scripture"? The quality of your responses are lacking context and you don't appear to even read what has been said before you do answer back. Here is what I actually did say:

As you have abundantly shown, even WHEN the Scriptures are given to you that prove sola Scriptura and sola fide, you reject them anyway. That's why I find it awfully disingenuous for you to place your church OVER Divinely-inspired Scripture. Just what exactly do you imagine the Holy Spirit "bringing to remembrance whatsoever I have said to you" means other than the enscripturation of Jesus' teachings? We have FOUR gospel accounts that do that and we also have the continued revelation from God to the early believers in the form of WRITTEN epistles. Do you trust the memory alone of sinful men to ensure God's truth remains pure? The Old Testament books were examples of the prophets of the Lord writing down His revelation - under God's instructions to do just that - so that we have His truths preserved for all time. Heaven and earth will pass away but the word of God will never pass away.

The Holy Spirit speaks in all times THROUGH the Holy Spirit inspired Scriptures and is who opens hearts to receive it and believe so that we are saved. It is why even the first Christians NEVER accepted the seven Apocyrphal books as equal to what they KNEW was divinely inspired Scripture. Maybe it's the Catholic's Bible that needs circumcision - the extraneous foreskin of humanly devised fables, myths, legends and musings don't belong with God's sacred word.

Jesus taught in John 14:23-26,

Jesus replied, “Anyone who loves me will obey my teaching. My Father will love them, and we will come to them and make our home with them. Anyone who does not love me will not obey my teaching. These words you hear are not my own; they belong to the Father who sent me.

“All this I have spoken while still with you. But the Advocate, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, will teach you all things and will remind you of everything I have said to you.

Are you now denying that the Holy Spirit speaks through sacred Scripture or that the New Testament writings were what Jesus meant by the Holy Spirit bringing back to their remembrance everything He taught them? Those disciples are long dead but we have the "more sure word of prophecy" (sacred Scripture) because that was the will of God. It's hard to decipher what your argument even is. Perhaps if you didn't give a "knee-jerk" response to everything non-Caths say here, you might be more coherent. If all you want to do is be an automaton who says, "NO!", to whatever someone you see as an opponent states, then you ought to devote your time to other things. You aren't making much of a contribution to this discussion.
