"John 14:26 But the Comforter, who is the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you."

Notice that word remembrance? That word followed by “whatsoever I have said to unto you” can not apply to anyone in the RCC. The RCC has duped people into believing that somehow they “acquired” that same “remembrance”. It’s ridiculous to follow that evil organization."

The problem with your interpretation here is that you are missing the word "and":

"He shall teach you all things AND

bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you."

That designates two separate things, He shall teach you all things and [he shall] bring all the things I said to you to your remembrence.

You also seem to be plugging in the word "ONLY" here from your own mind, not from the words of Jesus Christ. He by no means is limiting the capabilities of the Father, or the Son, or the Holy Spirit to just what He stated in that brief sentence. That just came from your own mind, CynicalBear, certainly not the Bible. Take another more careful look.

Most Christians agree that the Holy Spirit continues to do all kinds of other things today, which were NOT specified in that text you are wrongfully and erroneously modifying.

No, I didn’t add the word “only”. It’s that I didn’t add “and anyone who claims they are in the same position as the apostles” like the RCC does. I get that from other parts of scripture. He said often in scripture not to add or take away from what He commanded or said.

Deuteronomy 4:2 2 Ye shall not add unto the word which I command you, neither shall ye diminish ought from it, that ye may keep the commandments of the Lord your God which I command you.

Deuteronomy 12:32 What thing soever I command you, observe to do it: thou shalt not add thereto, nor diminish from it.

Proverbs 30:6 Add thou not unto his words, lest he reprove thee, and thou be found a liar.

Even Paul admonished the Corinthians to not go beyond what is written.

1 Corinthians 4:6 And these things, brethren, I have in a figure transferred to myself and to Apollos for your sakes; that ye might learn in us not to think of men above that which is written, that no one of you be puffed up for one against another.

>>He by no means is limiting the capabilities of the Father, or the Son, or the Holy Spirit to just what He stated in that brief sentence.<<

Of course He’s not limiting the capabilities of the Father, or the Son, or the Holy Spirit. He is however not including the claim of the RCC that others can add to what scripture says. If that had been the case there would be an additional statement that those “remembrances and teachings” would be given to others as well.

It’s the RCC that has added to what scripture teaches. They have added to what God commanded as well just as the Pharisees had done for which Jesus chided them.
