Jesus said to those in the upper room, after Judas had left, "When the Spirit of truth comes, he will guide you into all the truth." You seem to construe Amos to contradict our Lord.
Instead of telling me how very wrong I am, which must get boring after a while (it certainly doesn't do much for me), could you please tell me what you think was going on when Jesus told NOT all his followers but those in the upper room after Judas had left, that that Spirit of truth would guide them into all the truth?
I didn't think so...The Spirit of Truth came when Jesus was crucified and ascended...Amos is speaking of 2000 years after Jesus ascended...

The people that followed Jesus were a mixed bag...People followed Him for different reasons...Some believed He was who He said He was...Others didn't...
As always in mixed company, Jesus was again talking in parables...He didn't want to spill the beans in front of good ole' Judas...
I will guess that you want to make the claim that the Spirit of Truth was offered to the Apostles only...There is way too much evidence in the rest of the scripture that the Spirit of Truth was given to all Christians...Just one of the many examples:
Joh 7:39 (But this spake he of the Spirit, which they that believe on him should receive: for the Holy Ghost was not yet given; because that Jesus was not yet glorified.)
