The Holy Spirit is, of course. Your side just doesn't believe that the Holy Spirit would give us the time of day. :) We counter and say that the indwelling Spirit actually loves us and helps with our sanctification. Part of that is understanding the word of God so that we can better follow Him and conform ourselves to the image of Christ. We believe that God wants a personal relationship with us as individuals, not an impersonal chain of command.
But I know that Christ came to SAVE THE WORLD, FK. How about that little biblical truth?
It's true! He came and saved every single one of His children. None are lost.
If anyone wishes to subscribe to doom and gloom, fire and brimstones, that's their choice, but that's not the message Christ came to proclaim.
Gloom and doom is what we have without Christ. Praise God for the Good News! Remember that what you're criticizing is exactly the style used by John the Baptist in his preaching, and Jesus certainly approved of that.
You know not what you are talking about. Read only the text of the Divine Liturgy once and then dare to repeat this nonsense.
But what is really a nonsense is that every Protestant claims the "indwelling spirit" and believes something completely private and inadvertantly different from others! Thus Osteen would surely say that what he teaches about hell is from the Holy Spirit as much as you would disagree with him claiming the same Holy Spirit as the interpreter.
Protestantism is unbiblical private interpretation of the sicrptures. The New Testament prohibits it. It is an amateur adventure, FK. It promotes relativism. Relativism denies absolute truth. It's a wide road to finding the narrow path. Good luck.
