The Spirit, indwelling, two aspects,
Yes, lets stick to the aspect that guides us ALL to ALL TRUTH, not the aspect that draws you closer to God. We do not have the authority to speak with Authority (capital A). The Spirit of Truth filled Jesus and He spoke with Authority for all. That Authority must return to speak what we could not bear to hear, what IS NOT RECORDED IN THE BIBLE, because clearly what is recorded in the Bible is what we COULD bear to hear. THERE IS MORE.
"Jesus, which the following you deny, did this, hence it is FINISH, no another Jesus's coming, no another Spirit of truth as GOD is this ONE Spirit of truth of which was shown to you from the Bible and obviously rejected by you to enable you to add your Wolf."
This is clearly made up by you. "It is finished" is not an end to God's guidance, otherwise He would not emphatically state:
“I have much more to say to you, more than you can now bear." John 16:12
There's no way this is finished. Jesus' work was finished for what He was commissioned to do at that time in history, YES, but not God's work for eternity, NO! There was more He had to say, HE HAD TO SAY, not you, or me, HIM
John 8:47 - He that is of God heareth God's words: ye therefore hear them not, because ye are not of God.
This has nothing to do with the Spirit of Truth that will guide us to ALL TRUTH, wotsup. He is talking to the Pharisees in John 8, and He is speaking the Word of God, yet the Pharisees are not seeing as such.
1 Cor 3:2 - I have fed you with milk, and not with meat: for hitherto ye were not able, neither yet now are ye able.
Yes, some of the recently converted Jews and Gentiles were not ready for Jesus Revelation, so Paul had to ease them in gently. It wasn't easy to convert from Judaism especially with how Paul cut off Jewish practice entirely.
Jesus' Plan didn't fail if another Mouthpiece of God arises in the world. He succeeded. His promise to send ANOTHER Comforter, the Spirit of Truth, who will tell us the things that we could NOT BEAR to hear at the time of Jesus, has indeed come! Nothing YOU SAY wotsup, is unbearable to a Christian. You go to a Christian and say, "this is what the Spirit of Truth says" and they look at you and say "YES! Thats in the Bible!" Nothing unbearable there. On the other hand, what Baha'u'llah has said and revealed is CLEARLY UNBEARABLE to you, and indeed a lot of Christians who don't investigate fully the fruits of Baha'u'llah's Words. Jesus' promise is fulfilled!
No other name etc has no relevance to us today. Paul was writing to newly formed communities who were still clinging onto the past, wanted to be Jewish Christians etc etc. He was ensuring faithfulness and steadfastness to Christ's teachings at that time. A thousand years before that there was no name Jesus Christ. To imply that God had no bountiful favour to those who had never even been born at the time of Jesus to hear a "name" (really? You don't call this tribalism? Its taking a verse that is time relevant in the Bible, OUT OF CONTEXT and translating it into superiority for all time)
What was the bounty and loving favour of God for Jews in 500BC?
