When people say things like the holy spirit can contradict the scriptures or the holy spirit told me this and it goes 100 percent against the Bible
The holy spirit is a person of the Godhead , the trinity.
Acts 5
1 But a certain man named Ananias, with Sapphira his wife, sold a possession,
2 And kept back part of the price, his wife also being privy to it, and brought a certain part, and laid it at the apostles' feet.
3 But Peter said, Ananias, why hath Satan filled thine heart to lie to the Holy Ghost, and to keep back part of the price of the land? note
4 Whiles it remained, was it not thine own? and after it was sold, was it not in thine own power? why hast thou conceived this thing in thine heart? thou hast not lied unto men, but unto God.
5 And Ananias hearing these words fell down, and gave up the ghost: and great fear came on all them that heard these things
In verse 3 it says you have lied into the holy ghost and you have lied to god and then he killed them
That does not happen that often nowadays
The Bible talks about if we love jesuss words he will send the holy spirit to abide with us.
This is what I do not understand about modern day Christianianity is that
John 14:26
23 Jesus answered and said unto him, If a man love me, he will keep my words: and my Father will love him, and we will come unto him, and make our abode with him.
24 He that loveth me not keepeth not my sayings: and the word which ye hear is not mine, but the Father's which sent me.
25 These things have I spoken unto you, being yet present with you.
26 But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, 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. (Compare)
27 Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.
Joh 14:26 But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, 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
He will teach you all things where is the teaching going on in the church today if the holy spirit is truly among us ?
Joh 15:26 But when the Comforter is come, whom I will send unto you from the Father, even the Spirit of truth, which proceedeth from the Father, he shall testify of me:
Where is the spirit of truth if the holy spirit is truly amongst us
Gal 5:17 For the flesh lusteth against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh: and these are contrary the one to the other: so that ye cannot do the things that ye would
In our day worldly fleshly entertainment is out forth as the holy spirit which is completely anti biblical
If we take a good look at the many different variations of what the holy spirit it is definitely not the holy spirit
1Jn 2:15 Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him
1Jn 4:1 Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world
I believe that God can speak for today I am not cessationlist but most of what comes from people who have the holy spirit reminds me of what Jeremiah and ezekial warned against.
Jeremiah and ezekial loved the people they knew destruction was coming they warned them to flee but the people just didn't listen
One thing that does not tend to get mentioned is that the sheer abhorance that the way that the third person of the trinity is being used for all types of ungodly things in his name.
John 16
7 Nevertheless I tell you the truth; It is expedient for you that I go away: for if I go not away, the Comforter will not come unto you; but if I depart, I will send him unto you.
8 And when he is come, he will reprove the world of sin, and of righteousness, and of judgment: note (Compare)
9 Of sin, because they believe not on me;
10 Of righteousness, because I go to my Father, and ye see me no more;
11 Of judgment, because the prince of this world is judged.
Where are we being taught that the holy spirit is to convict of sin , righteous and judgement yet to come
John 16
13 Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak: and he will shew you things to come.
14 He shall glorify me: for he shall receive of mine, and shall shew it unto you.
He shall glorify Jesus most people it tends to glorify them or there ministry and not Jesus
