    That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit.

    Let me make a slight correction. I am here to prove your doctrine wrong or prove your doctrine right. If the Lord be willing. Wouldn't you want to know if you are deceived? I would.

    None of the above! First there is no human being that can know "ALL truth" because that would make him God.

    Second, I imagine you are referring to the promise of the Spirit in John 14-16 which was given to the Apostles? This referred to their work of fulfilling the Biblical canon of scriptures as predicted by Isaiah 8:16-18,20 and confirmed by Christ (Jn. 17:17-21) and acknowledged by them (1 Jn. 4:5-6; 2 Pet. 3:16-17; 2 Thes. 2:15; Rev. 1:3; 22:18-20; etc.). Its fulfillment is found in the completion of the scriptures - Isa. 8:20; 2 Tim. 3:16-17.

    Third, only the Holy Spirit can reveal truth to a person but He chooses to do so through ordained means (1 Pet. 2:2; Jn. 17:17; Eph. 5:25-27; 6:17; Mt.28:20;etc.).

    Fourth, only decievers use subtility and guile in dealing with God's Word:

    2 Cor. 4:1 But have renounced the hidden things of dishonesty, not walking in craftiness, nor handling the word of God deceitfully; but by manifestation of the truth commending ourselves to every man’s conscience in the sight of God.

    Fourth, only decievers use subtility and guile in dealing with God's Word:I will not encounter any in the Light. But thanks for the warning anyway

    Beauty was not the issue, intentionally baiting was.

    Well, preferred doctrine aside, how about just stating the doctrine you disagree with. Then, it can be known what all the subterfuge is about.

    The answer in short is no, of course not.

    Now, why is it that the Spirit of truth performs this ministry, and when did He begin?

    or every one that doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved.

    But he that doeth truth cometh to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are wrought in God.

    The deceivers are not going to come to the Light. If you want to avoid them go to the Light and stay there.

    And if you do not know the difference between Light and darkness...then you are in a bad situation.

    Correction: He is Spirit.

    And He is God.

    And how you refer to Him indicates perhaps you view Him as a force, rather than God. Is that incorrect on part.

    God. Though, He being God, serves in this ministry willingly, even as the Son willingly served in His ministry.

    It was to the way you presented the question that he refers to. This is why one person already decided not to participate.

    I see Wisdom is not your strong point either.

    In John, light and darkness take on a consistent theme.

    Was there something you wished to convey about this?


    I don't know, is one baiting if they recognize baiting?

    You might have me there.

    Well, if you give it a little time, you might see this differently.

    And speaking of time, mine is almost gone. Is there something that you wish to present, or deny, or relate?

    Well, yes, actually I have.

    Do you think maybe I should work on that?

    Maybe I could be better at it if I do this?

    Or perhaps, that it not be misunderstood that I am angry and I intend to ride roughshod over people I could use red and bold...for emphasis?

    I don't know...let me know.
