John blows a huge hole in that tautology! Read his epistle, and while you’re at it, have a read at James’.

Hahahahahaaaaa...

I have read ALL of the Scripture, many times, and have relied on the Holy Spirit to "lead me into all truth". YMMV!

I won't bother you any more with the whole Truth as explained by Paul, as you think that by following the Law one can achieve Salvation. If that were true, Christ died for naught!

Romans 8: ... 5 Those who live according to the flesh have their minds set on what the flesh desires; but those who live in accordance with the Spirit have their minds set on what the Spirit desires. 6 The mind governed by the flesh is death, but the mind governed by the Spirit is life and peace. 7 The mind governed by the flesh is hostile to God; it does not submit to God’s law, nor can it do so. 8 Those who are in the realm of the flesh cannot please God.

9 You, however, are not in the realm of the flesh but are in the realm of the Spirit, if indeed the Spirit of God lives in you. And if anyone does not have the Spirit of Christ, they do not belong to Christ. 10 But if Christ is in you, then even though your body is subject to death because of sin, the Spirit gives life because of righteousness. 11 And if the Spirit of him who raised Jesus from the dead is living in you, he who raised Christ from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies because of his Spirit who lives in you. ...

The spirit that leads away from obedience is the one that fails John’s test of the spirits, and is not ‘Holy.’
