@TheIsweem Thanks

[TheIsweem]

@MessengerNamedLove thats ok, its understandable :)

[MessengerNamedLove]

@TheIsweem We do have bible study, In fact, I'm rereading the bible this week. I'm sorry if the message I sent a couple of days ago sounded a little bit angry, my parents are just fighting A LOT, over debt issues. I'm not going to lie to you, I'm just putting that out their.

@MessengerNamedLove I believe you bro, i believe that the cathiloc church put the Bible together. Now theres just one more thing left; studying it :) haha, im not trying to bash on catholics but there's so many exciting things you can learn from Bible scriptures that your cotholic priest will never tell you.

@TheIsweem We did put it together, that fact is proven lol. PLUS GOD IS A THREE PERSON TRINITY! Btw, just so you know, every other denomination you see split off from the catholic church.

[TheIsweem]

@MessengerNamedLove lol the catholic church may have ruled that the Holy Spirit as a third intity. But does the Bible say it? nope. I am an ordinary christian, i love the catholics but they don't even seem to read the very Bible that they claim to have put together.

[MessengerNamedLove]

@TheIsweem The Catholic Church Ruled that the holy spirit is the third person in the trinity, to argue against this obvious fact is to excommunicate yourself from the church.

i love John Piper. However, i don't believe that the Holy Spirit is a 3rd godhead. But rather, the spirit of God. Basically speaking, when we die and see God with our own eyes, we will only see the Father and the Son. The Holy Spirit is their unchanging powerful character of love. Which God uses to pour out on those who know him. And yep, i also have noticed that the Holy Spirit is not talked about as much as the Father and the Son.

The holy spirit?

I think the human race should feel slightly ashamed of itself for believing in magical non-entities.

There is no proof (needless to say) of such a being , except in the deluded mind.

There is no need of such a being, unless you can convince yourself that you're guilty of something "in your spirit" and therefore need redemption.

So, since we have no spirit ourselves, we can deny this holy "

spirit "and resume our normal lives without any need for "saving".

Don't feel guilty!
