The Holy Ghost teaches us what to say

The Holy Ghost teaches us what to say

Really?

Does the Holy Spirit teach us to say stupid things?

I've heard lots of stupid things here.

... and if The Holy Spirit is doing all that....

Well, I don't think so. Be honest.

Forgive me...

 

[PT Calvinist]

You know what I mean. He dosen't teach us to say stupid things. We say those things of our own accord.

"f...or the Holy Spirit will teach you at that time what you should say."- Luke

In times of trial of course and giving you utterance to speak things which no man can disagree with.


"I speak the truth in Christ—I am not lying, my conscience confirms it in the Holy Spirit—"- Romans 9:1

"It was revealed to them that they were not serving themselves but you, when they spoke of the things that have now been told you by those who have preached the gospel to you by the Holy Spirit sent from heaven. Even angels long to look into these things."- 1 Peter 1:12

Are you familiar with the "great disappointment of 1844"?

Was that The Holy Spirit's teaching?

Forgive me...

 

[PT Calvinist]

no, I'm not familiar with that..

If it was heretical and in discordance with the Bible then it isn't the holy spirits teaching.

Maybe you could provide a little backround info for us ignorant people?

Speaks of the ordained. Not everybody.

That's unbiblical

 

[PT Calvinist]

Now when they bring you to the synagogues and magistrates and authorities: Few of us have had the need to trust God because we have been hauled before magistrates and authorities for the sake of Jesus. Yet all have our own arenas where we need to trust God to give a bold witness.
b. Do not worry about how or what you should answer, or what you should say: This is an exhortation to trust in God, not your eloquence. It is not an excuse for poor preparation in teaching or preaching.
c. For the Holy Spirit will teach you in that very hour what you ought to say: Jesus promises that the Holy Spirit will help when you are "put on trial"; He will give you the right words to say.

I forget which commentary it's from

Learning from within The Church of Antioch

How can you do that when you're in the USA?

IS there a Antioch Church in the USA>?

1 Corin 12:1 About yet the spiritual-things brethren! not I am willing ye to be being ignorant/agnoein <50> (5721).

IS there a Antioch Church in the USA>?

Yes. In the same way that Roman Catholic Churches are in the US. The Church of Antioch is all over the world actually. Antiochian Orthodox Christian Archdiocese

They are one of the few Orthodox Churches who teach in english.

I am a reader.

Forgive me...

Care to go over each of these scripture independantly then?

I believe there were three listed.

Forgive me...

Great Disappointment - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Forgive me...

 

[AllForJesus]

Yes! The Holy Ghost gives you revelation of Scripture.

Thank you for understanding.

I am sorry if i was not clear enough but 'Teach me yours way oh God' does not mean that theology is bad! Opposite to that!

The Holy Spirit inspires people in theology!!! and in other way too but be careful on saying that trying to study more about God is bad!!!

I never said Theology was bad....I said it fails (having fallacy).
I never said studying more of God is bad....I'm sorry that you couldn't read some of my responses to others, but I clearly stated that study of God is encouraged. Thank your for posting but it seemed to be based only on the OP and title, and not on the proof-reading of the rest of my posts

But your post did inspire me to say, another reason why theology fails is because people lie about recieving revelation of a scripture which causes more confusion.

 

[Mary of Bethany]

If theology is reduced to an intellectual pursuit, even within the context of faith, it is bound to fail.

True theology is the experience of God, through ceaseless prayer of the heart. That is why we say that a theologian is one who prays. Not one who reads and studies, though that is good as far as it goes. But we cannot truly know/experience God via our minds only. God comes to the pure in heart.

That revelation, and being given Words to speak is only for the ordained?

Yes I would much like to go over how that is Biblical
