The Holy Spirit NEVER contradicts Scripture. His job according to Christ is to glorify the Son, to bear witness of Him which you deny.Yes, as it is written;
Ps. 45: 6 Thy throne, O God, is for ever and ever: the sceptre of thy kingdom is a right sceptre. 7 Thou lovest righteousness, and hatest wickedness "therefore God", thy God, "hath anointed thee" with the oil of gladness above thy fellows.
And again;
Is. 53: 1 Who hath believed our report? (Not you Civic) and to whom is the arm of the LORD revealed?
2 For he shall grow up before him as a tender plant, and as a root out of a dry ground: he hath no form nor comeliness; and when we shall see him, "there is no beauty that we should desire him". 3 He is despised and rejected of men; a man of sorrows, and acquainted with grief: and we hid as it were our faces from him; he was despised, and we esteemed him not.
Nothing like the image of God you have adopted, with his long flowing hair, and perfect profile.
Jer. 6: 16 Thus saith the LORD, Stand ye in the ways, and see, and ask for the old paths, where is the good way, "and walk therein", and ye "shall find rest for your souls". But they (Civic) said, We will not walk therein.
And again;
Matt. 5: 48 Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father which is in heaven is perfect.
Why don't you listen to Him then Civic.
Matt. 7:26 And every one that heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them not, shall be likened unto a foolish man, which built his house upon the sand: 27 And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell: and great was the fall of it.
John 14: 1 Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God, believe also in me. 2 In "my Father's house" are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you.
Phil. 2: 8 And being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself, "and became obedient" unto death, even the death of the cross. 9 Wherefore "God" also hath highly exalted him, and given him a name which is above every name: 10 That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth; 11 And that every tongue should confess that "Jesus Christ is Lord", to the glory "of God the Father".
And again;
Eph. 1: 17 That the "God of our Lord Jesus Christ", the Father of glory, "may give unto you" the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of him:
18 The eyes of your understanding being enlightened; that ye may know what is the hope of his calling, and what the riches of the glory of his inheritance in the saints,
19 And what is the exceeding greatness of his power to us-ward who believe, according to the working of his mighty power,
20 Which he wrought in Christ, when "he" (God the Father) raised "him" (Jesus, His son) from the dead, and set him "at his own right hand in the heavenly places",
Your religious business is to glorify your image of God in the likeness of some handsome long-haired man. The Gospel of the Christ "of the bible" was to Glorify the God and Father of the Lord's Christ, who raised HIM from the dead.
John 14: 10 Believest thou not that I am in the Father, and the Father in me? the words that I speak unto you "I speak not of myself": but the Father that dwelleth in me, he doeth the works.
John 4: 23 But the hour cometh, and now is, when the true worshippers "shall worship the Father" in spirit and in truth: for the Father "seeketh such to worship him". 24 "God is a Spirit": and "they that worship him" must worship him in spirit and in truth.
John 17: 8 For I have given unto them "the words" which "thou" gavest me; and they have received them, and have known surely that I came out from thee, and they have believed that "thou didst send me".
John 6: 62 What and if ye shall see the Son of man ascend up "where he was before"?
63 It is the spirit that quickeneth; the flesh profiteth nothing: the "words that I speak unto you" (Given Him by His Father and my Father), they are spirit, and they are life.
64 But there are some of you that believe not. For Jesus knew from the beginning who they were that believed not, and who should betray him.
The Holy Spirit ALWAYS points a believer To Christ alone.
So from Jesus own words- the TRUTH you do not testify to the Son so I know you do not speak from the Spirit since you do not glorify the Son as Jesus promised the Holy Spirit would do. You only see the Father worthy of glory, honor, praise and worship. The Holy Spirit honors the Son. He points people to the Son, not the Father.
John 15:26
“But when the Helper comes, whom I shall send to you from the Father, the Spirit of truth who proceeds from the Father, He will testify of Me.
“But when the Helper comes, whom I will send to you from the Father, the Spirit of truth, who proceeds from the Father, he will bear witness about me.
John 16:13-15
But when he, the Spirit of truth, comes, he will guide you into all the truth. He will not speak on his own; he will speak only what he hears, and he will tell you what is yet to come. 14 He will glorify me because it is from me that he will receive what he will make known to you. 15 All that belongs to the Father is mine. That is why I said the Spirit will receive from me what he will make known to you.”
1 Corinthians 12:1-3
Now about the gifts of the Spirit, brothers and sisters, I do not want you to be uninformed. 2 You know that when you were pagans, somehow or other you were influenced and led astray to mute idols. 3 Therefore I want you to know that no one who is speaking by the Spirit of God says, “Jesus be cursed,” and no one can say, “Jesus is Lord,” except by the Holy Spirit.
hope this helps !!!
