Kam, I thought better of you, it appears you are throwing up many avoidance tactics, and you may not even realize you doing it. Constantly side stepping passages which I have well and truly been backing up. Testing the Spirit is also testing ones words.
I will repeat wotsup that the Father and the Spirit of Truth are NOT the same thing. John 15:26 states one PROCEEDS from the other. So you are saying, Jesus was telling some untruths. YOU have had more than enough verses and From Jesus, who interchanged the He, Spirit of Truth with the Father which we know IS The Almighty God who IS the Holy Spirit which is defined in the Bible as the Spirit of truth, comforter.
God is truth, his word is truth, his word is Spirit. His word simply proceeds, comes forth, out from God, from His Spirit. Psa 139:7- 10 - Whither shall I go from thy spirit? or whither shall I flee from thy presence? If I ascend up into heaven, thou art there: if I make my bed in hell, behold, thouart there. If I take the wings of the morning, and dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea; Even there shall thy hand lead me, and thy right hand shall hold me.
All these and more like face etc are in reference to The Word --> The Word of God, Him, the word proceeds from his Spirit. 1 Cor 2:11 - For what man knoweth the things of a man, save the spirit of man which is in him?even so the things of God knoweth no man, but the Spirit of God.
My question is, can you show me how the Spirit of Truth has ears to hear, a mouth to speak? I will just take this a decoy or joke, or you have simply not read enough of the Bible to understand the various contexts of many areas. The above, hand, right arm etc, should spell out some obvious's here. Also who is the Spirit of Truth talking to? If you want to play this game, how can it also be a He, which you tried to make a point on by mentioning it? Who does Jesus or the Bible say He will be talking to, in the verses I provided. Don't forget this --> John 17:20 - Neither pray I for these alone, but for them also which shall believe on me through their word; That they all may be one; as thou, Father, in me, and I in thee, that they also may be one in us: that the world may believe that thou hast sent me.
Luke 2:40 & 52 - And the child grew, and waxed strong in spirit, filled with wisdom: and the grace of God was upon him. And Jesus increased in wisdom and stature, and in favour with God and man.
So Jesus pretty much said, he can do nothing of himself, and yet he asks that we become one as He and the Father are one. The logic and commonsense will tell us, there is only one way this can happen. It is very clear from the Luke references here, where Jesus began and where he got his wisdom etc from.
