THEN PLEASE EXPLAIN YOUR FALSE TEACHING TONY...

Funny thing that you write about this subject...especially when in your own words...you teach that the Holy Spirit has nothing to do with helping Christians understand, receive knowledge, and discern the Word of God.

The Holy Spirit plays a crucial role in Christian belief for understanding and discerning the Word of God as presented in the Bible. Here are a few key scriptures that highlight this role:

John 14:26 (NIV): "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." This verse speaks to the Holy Spirit's role as a teacher and reminder of Jesus' teachings.

1 Corinthians 2:10-12 (NIV): "The Spirit searches all things, even the deep things of God. For who knows a person’s thoughts except their own spirit within them? In the same way no one knows the thoughts of God except the Spirit of God. Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the Spirit who is from God, so that we may understand what God has freely given us." This passage emphasizes the Holy Spirit's unique ability to comprehend and communicate the depths of God's thoughts and intentions.

2 Timothy 3:16 (NIV): "All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness." While this verse doesn't mention the Holy Spirit explicitly, it ties in with the belief that the Holy Spirit, as part of the Trinity, is involved in the inspiration of Scripture.

Ephesians 1:17 (NIV): "I keep asking that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the glorious Father, may give you the Spirit of wisdom and revelation, so that you may know him better." This verse links the Holy Spirit with wisdom and revelation, essential for understanding God better.

1 John 2:27 (NIV): "As for you, the anointing you received from him remains in you, and you do not need anyone to teach you. But as his anointing teaches you about all things and is true and is not a lie, just as it has taught you, remain in him." This highlights the idea that the Holy Spirit's anointing enables believers to understand the truth independently.

These scriptures collectively underscore the belief in Christianity that the Holy Spirit is a guide, teacher, and revealer of the truths contained in the Bible, aiding believers in their understanding and discernment of God's Word.

BUT...according to YOU....the Holy Spirit does NOT help us. Hmmmmm

There are many here that would disagree with you.
