Discuss John 14 Page 21

Hopefully no one is condemning anyone. John 3:18, that debate may be the question, is it out of disbelief? A deeper, individual question for oneself. Titus 3:9-11, James 5:9-10, 1 Corinthians 11:28-32

1st I think you are incorrect about "government requirement" of all "those vaccinations" that's why there's still debates. I believe in some states they are not required. Even where they are there are debates of rights as parents & individual choices. * not a GOD Law.

2nd Importantly if vaccination is effective; (I agree most have been)= then the hatered, animosity, & anger about freedoms shouldn't exist! Because if effective then those vaccinated have no fear, only non-vaxers would have threats in society. This is a freedom & liberty argument. Jeremiah 34:15-18, Psalms 119:45-46,

3rd If "boomers" could say 'choice' when it came to killing millions in my generation through abortion, then my generation has choices too. Isn't that the real questions? Galatians 5:11-14,

4th The HOLY Spirit is Amazing!!! just this morning I was reminded how painful & difficult, chicken pox were, I contracted maybe 3 times, before 8 yr of age. contracted German measles in hospital at birth. I am grateful my children through vaccination didn't contract. I believe I was reminded because I would be responding to you. Thank you LORD GOD ALMIGHTY :) John 14:26,

5th I believed in the power of vaccinations, I was vaccinated & oldest child. I encountered studies about Autism connected to vaccination. I heard parents' arguments about anti-vax & evidence. I had next infant fuly vaccinated, didn't seem to effect us. My youngest was born & early on had several 'markers for Autism' the evidence in studies pointed to somes inability to absorb metals like Mercury & Lead in bloodstream - I had worked in Lab several years with many Chemicals, including Lead, Mercury. I was also MSDS Supervisor. Knowledge of reproductive system risks, I had to make the moral 'choice' not to vaccinate, at that time.

Hi Brother Fred,

You are right, as Christ Followers, we are to keep God's Ten Commandments/Law per the bible scripture.

Those that truly love Jesus we will hear his voice:

John 14:15

"If ye love me, keep my commandments."

God Bless.

Brother Rick,

I say this with love, and also for others that are seeking the truth. Jesus absolutely did not do away with the 10 Commandments/Law, including the Holy Sabbath Day, Saturday.

Jesus states:

John 14:15

"If ye love me, keep my commandments."

Jesus knows who loves him, because they will keep his commandments. Many people don't even try to keep God's commandments because it doesn't facilitate their worldly lifestyle. We have to ask ourselves this important question: Do we let our lifestyles guide us, or God's words?

Jesus said: Matthew 16:25

"For whosoever will save his life shall lose it: and whosoever will lose his life for my sake shall find it." Do you believe this scripture?

Matthew 24:35

"Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my words shall not pass away."

So are you saying that Jesus words in John 14:15, and Matthew 24:35,have passed away?

Hebrews 13:8

"Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and to day, and for ever."

Are you saying that Jesus Christ changed? His words no longer matter?

Jesus death on the cross and the new covenant does not erase the Ten Commandments/Law. Please read what God tells us about the new covenant and the law:

Hebrews 8:10

"For this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, saith the Lord; I will put my laws into their mind, and write them in their hearts: and I will be to them a God, and they shall be to me a people:"

God is telling us he will put his laws into our minds, and our hearts! Do you believe this? This scripture is very important: Matthew 5:18 "For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled." Do you believe this scripture?

The scripture is very clear, and easy to understand. We can't change the scripture, but many try to ignore or twist it into a puzzle that doesn't even make sense.

Read it and believe it!

God Bless

Bible scripture is not complicated. Please don't let others complicate and confuse you.

Much of the bible scripture including the gospel of Jesus is written so that a common person (even a child) can easily understand enough to become saved, and remain saved, and receive Salvation/Heaven.

John 3:16

"For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life."

Believe in Jesus Christ.

Mark 16:16

"He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned."

Get baptized in water, and receive the Holy Spirit.

1 John 1:9

"If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness."

Ask God for forgiveness in the name of Jesus when you sin, and walk in the Spirit.

John 14:15

"If ye love me, keep my commandments."

Strive to keep God's ten commandments, and ask for forgiveness when you sin.

Revelation 22:14

"Blessed are they that do his commandments, that they may have right to the tree of life, and may enter in through the gates into the city."

Jesus tells us above, that those of us that keep his commandments - we will have the right to the tree of life, and may enter in through the gates of the city/Heaven.

Nothing is complicated in most bible scripture. God wants all of us to understand!

Do not depend on others, pick up and read your Bible, believe in what it says, and take a hold of YOUR SALVATION!

These are just two of many verses about the importance of the cross, and Jesus salvation on the cross.

John 14:6-7, "Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me."

"If ye had known me, ye should have known my Father also: and from henceforth ye know him, and have seen him."

Ephesians 2:8-9 "For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God:" "Not of works, lest any man should boast."

John 1:18

No man hath seen God at any time; the only begotten Son, which is in the bosom of the Father, he hath declared him. [represents God wrapped in human flesh]

1 John 4:14

And we have seen and do testify that the Father sent the Son to be the Saviour of the world.

John 14:7 [Jesus speaking]

"If ye had known me, ye should have known my Father also: and from henceforth ye know him, and have seen him."

Please, remember, at the end of a prayer, you must say in Jesus's Name. Amen. Because, it says, in

John 14:6 "Jesus said to him,'I am the way, the truth, & the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me,"

Many of us know this famous portion of Scripture. We know we cannot access the throne of God except through prayer to Jesus.

Christians have a decision to make: whether to trust and follow God's morals or the world's morals? Christianity (folllowing Jesus) isn't a one time event, but a lifelong pursuit. 1 Corinthians 9:24. It says to run the race (effort); it doesn't say the race is already finished. Some get off course and don't care.

Some Christians follow God's morals only to the point where it conflicts with the world's morals, then proceed with the world's morals instead. The result is following the world ( 1 John 2:15).

Despite Acts 2:38 saying to be baptized, some say "don't" be baptized.

Despite John 14:6 saying to go to Jesus, some say to go through a 'prophet' or pope.

Despite James 4:17 saying to avoid sin, some claim it's bad and 'legalism' to avoid sin.

Despite Psalm 139:13 saying unborn babies are special, some claim killing them is ok.

Despite Ezra 7:13 saying people have freewill, some claim they "don't" have freewill.

Despite Matthew 7:13 saying most people will go to hell, some say most will "not" go to hell.

Despite Matthew 10:28 warning us about hell, some say "there is no hell."

Despite 1 Timothy 2:12 saying women shouldn't teach, some say they "should."

Despite Leviticus 20:13 saying homosexuality is a sin, some say it's "not" a sin.

Despite John 15:10 saying to obey, some say it's ok to "not" obey.

Despite John 1:1 saying Jesus (the Word) is God, some say Jesus is "not" God.

Despite 1 John 5:7 saying 3 are one, some say the 3 are "not" one.

The rationalizing pattern seems to be: "No, the Bible doesn't say [what it actually says], but says [something I'm more comfortable with]". This format seems awfully similar to Genesis 3:4 where satan says "Ye shall NOT surely die." Satan is called the father of lies for a reason and some Christians assume they are immune to it.

Rationalizing the world's morals over God's morals seems to require ignoring scripture. Does anyone agree?

So, should we follow God's Word or man's word (which might be satan's word)?

God bless...

Sister GiGI: SECOND COMING

Colossians 1:27 You whom God would make made known which is the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles; which is CHRIST IN YOU, the hope of glory.

John 14:17 Even the Spirit of truth, whom the world CANNOT receive because he seeth him not, neither knoweth him, but ye know him; for he dwelleth with you, and shall BE IN YOU.

These are God's words, if this is a reality to you then Christ has COME THE SECOND TIME; TO YOU.

Hebrews 9:28 So Christ was once offered to bear the sins of many (first coming), and unto them that look for him shall he appear the second time (as CHRIST IN YOU) (second coming) without sin (Christ's sacrifice covered our sin in his first coming) unto SALVATION.

Isaiah 27:12 It shall come to pass in that day (we are in that day), that the Lord shall beat off from the channel of the river unto the stream of Egypt, and ye shall BE GATHERED ONE by ONE, O ye children if Israel (the elect are the TRUE children of Israel).

Matthew 24:40 One shall be taken, to be a Son of God, and never see death, and one shall be left, to die in their sins, lay in the grave, resurrected to flesh and judged in the fire of the Lord, not TORTURED IN PHYSICAL FIRE.

Sister GiGI, Do you agree that Christ is the Holy Ghost, the Comforter, Spirit of Truth.

John 14:17 ....but you know him, for he dwelleth with you, and shall BE IN YOU.

Jesus came the second time in the form of the Holy Ghost and it happened at Pentecost.

Hebrews 9:28 So Christ was once (first coming) offered to bear the sins of many; and unto them who look for him shall he appear the second time (as the Holy Ghost) without sin unto salvation.

You never see the thief in the night, you never see the Holy Ghost. This is the reason so many miss his coming, they are looking for the physical. The culmination of the second coming will end with him and the elect standing in the flesh to judge the world. The AGE of GRACE will be over, and the AGE of JUDGEMENT will begin.

Rev.3:7 Gen. of Jesus Christ family line

church of Philadelphia( they tough of the canaanites deceitfulness) that is one of the good churches, right?

John 14:16 Jesus prayer to the Father, He gives us a comforter Holy Spirit

Isa 22:22

So The Key of David

lineage of true Christ

-The Trinity-

Revelations 3:7, Isaiah 22:22, perhaps it's Jesus symbolism John 14:16

Adam - there are reprobates that can't see, Paul was spiritually blind until the light shined on him. Paul believed in the God of Abraham, Issac, Jacob but he didn't know who Jesus was. - Matthew 7:6

James 2:19 Thou believest that there is one God; thou doest well: the devils also believe, and tremble.

Mark 6:12 And they went out, and preached that men should repent.

John 14:15 If ye love me, keep my commandments.

1 John 5:3 For this is the love of God, that we keep his commandments: and his commandments are not grievous.

I kinda think we hurt our fellowship with the Father if we sin willfully. That's why we need the blood of Jesus. Jesus died for all sins and then sat down at the right hand of the Father; and became our Advocate.

And so the taunts of Satan before the throne. He's not Omni-present, but he sees plenty.

Do our hearts condemn us? That is a heart that still loves Father and Son. The Holy Spirit is going to convict us. That's his Ministry. John 14:20, 26 and John 16:8-14. Especially John 17, all.

He wants us to be one. This is prone to happen when we practice evangelism on each other. We were told to GO YE INTO OUR WORLDS or ALL the world. Love turned inward becomes sterile.

Good Morning Laverne When we confess Romans 10:9+10 we are born again of Gods Spirit and at that time we become spiritually His child and we have the Peace of God John 14:27 which passes all understanding.

If we don't endeavor to build Gods Word and walk by the spirit the cares of this world will effect our peace, and let the peace of God rule this means[to be president or dominate all decisions] to which ye are called and be thankful[ in everything]. The more we renew our minds to scripture the more we let Gods Word dominate our thoughts we will develop the fruits of the spirit, love joy [peace] longsuffering meekness temperance against such is no law. This is not automatic its happens over time. Prayerfully this helps.

To add to discussion I just recently replied but felt led to add to my post. Just recently in Daniel I believe GOD revealed to me Daniel & his friends may have been, as captives of war made Eunuchs by Nebuchadnezzar- Daniel 1:1-3, Daniel 1:7-9, Daniel 1:10-11, each time it states those who were put over Daniel & his companions that title was given them 'over the Eunuchs' . There is no account of them having children that I've found. Futhermore when Nebuchadnezzar threatened people in his brutal way= Daniel 2:5, Daniel 2:12-13, Daniel 3:28-29, it was probably a very viable threat & intensely reality. Which now not only puts new light on Nebuchadnezzar's threats but his way of thinking.

Recently GOD's been showing me more in these scriptures. Daniel also is the only one that I've found where an angel says was greatly beloved, Daniel 10:11, Daniel 10:19, there seems to be a distinction in this address. GOD knows us & everything thing we have suffered, everything taken from us, even wrongful sterilization. He loves us! Hopefully this is also encouraging in a deep way as it has been to me. Yes I believe GOD addresses people personally & callings differ. Moses, Hosea, Ezekiel are few examples Daniel another. Sometimes HE calls us to do things others have not been called to nor had precedence for. Like Noah. In my life I've been reminded of this scripture more than once [1 Kigs 13:8-10,15,16,17,18,21,22,*24,] 1 Kings 13:1-32, we must obey GOD ALMIGHTY in what HE calls us to do personally.

When I say a distinction the wording is a little Different than Isaiah 48:14, 2 Samuel 2:24, 1 Kings 10:9, Revelations 1:5, Revelations 3:9, John 14:20, Mark 10:21, & even Matthew 3:17 because CHRIST is the SON, THE WAY TRUTH & LIGHT, LIFE. If I had my Exhaustive Concordance at hand, I would study it more fully.

Dear all, for some dayes ago ill get a word, from

Acts 1:25

That he may take part of this ministry and apostleship, from which Judas by transgression fell, that he might go to his own place.

Some years ago ill have a sight of my grandparent's they stood behind each other like i remember them. In a light who is not on this earth. In a place who Jesus have made for them, ill see columns in a tempel and them! After that i was soo grateful too the Lord Jesus who is the only King!

John 14:2

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.

It is soo many ppl i know who have gone too they're own places. The places that Jesus have made for them. He may already have done a place ready-made for me as well.

Some other time ill look my stepfather waving energetically too me after one hour when he died. And he belived in Jesus. If he understand the meaning of Christ i dont know. But it is not for me to know.

Am glad if all ppl i meet tell me that they belive in Jesus.

John 11:26

And whosoever liveth and believeth in me shall never die. Believest thou this?

Its many more words in Holy Scripture of this. Read and understand inspired by the Holy Spirit ill pray.

If we belive in Jesus We dont die anymore. Here's a big question! Do Jesus have a place for all them who have past away? Noo matter what_ And are all died ppl in one of the heavens who is described in this examles. I'll belive soo, evan Judas Iskariot could go too his place.

It is good to understand this: That God is in charge of this. Soo i belive strongly that we meet again some day. And i will know whom from whom by the spirit they had in life.

God bless us all in Jesus Name by the Holy Spirit. Love u all in Christ

Hi Amelia,

I noticed you received responses, but none of them actually answered your question.

The Bible doesn't seem to mention requirements or qualifications of the person doing the baptizing. We can look to examples in the Bible as to WHO was baptizing, and we have John the Baptist and Jesus's disciples. Jesus said to his disciples in Matthew 28:19 calling the to baptize and make disciples.

I believe the one baptizing should be a Christian at bare minimum, because baptism is an act of Christian faith. And someone baptizing is in a leadership role in my opinion. It would seem hypocritical if the person leading you through a step of faith didn't even believe in it himself. And I believe that person should be at the age of accountability, so the belief is genuine, and not coerced through family or other forces. So, I don't believe a child should baptize anyone for example.

Finally, there's always someone trying to discredit baptism as if they have a force telling them its bad or as if they're afraid of it, or have some kind of personal animosity against it, or fear of public embarrassment? I think this reaction to a direct instruction from Jesus is a noteworthy reaction in itself.

Acts 2:38 - this verse is all I need to see in the Bible. People can use lots of words, can twist things, can use unlimited anecdotes, but none of it matters, because I read Acts 2:38 and I know exactly what it says and since I'm serious about following Jesus I was baptized. There's no question I'm doing it. To me, I don't understand anyone trying to rationalize to 'get out of' something, as if they only want to do the bare minimum in following Jesus. I want to give Jesus everything and I don't want to give the devil any foothold. John 14:15 is another 100% clear verse. So, when you put those two verses together the right decision is very obvious.

God bless...

everyone mentions john 3:16,don't get me wrong that verse is awesome but talk about GPS or maps and Jesus provides that and more by letting us know our only way home is there any other way indeed there's not Praise to you Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.

I have been taught that the Father is completely Spirit and cannot be seen by beings he created. But I was taught that Jesus had a form before His incarnation and the Father resides in Him, as Jesus stated this in John 14:7, 9-11. Even though the Father is completely Spirit, it does not mean that He is not personal. But we experience Him through Jesus Christ. The Spirit is also obviously completely Spirit. He is able to reside in us, therefore bringing Jesus and the Father to also reside in each believer. It is such a mystery.

Many years ago I wrote a song and the first stanza said,

Father, Son, and Holy Spirit'

Three in One; yet One in Three;

Holy God, the One the Only;

Oh, to grasp Your Mystery!

There is no big mystery of God, the big mystery is why there are some on this site that try hard to confuse, mystify, mislead, and complicate the bible scriptures. God speaks plainly, so "plain people" can understand.

John 14:15

"If ye love me, keep my commandments."

Do you love Jesus? Yes or No?

It's very simple!

God Bless.

2 Peter 2:1 But there were false prophets also among the people, even as there shall be false teachers among you, who privily shall bring in damnable heresies, even denying the Lord that bought them, and bring upon themselves swift destruction.

I noticed some comments posted that sound like they are only a breath away from denying the Lord. God's Word and 2 Peter 2:1 is for them. Luke 12:5. 1 Timothy 6:12.

Some sound upset that God demands obedience, and some feel entitled to do what they want as if there's no ramifications. John 14:21, John 14:15, James 1:22, Proverbs 16:18.

I can read whole books of the Bible every day. (I'm retired) I turn off the phone, the tv, get a large water and pray that my eyes and heart be open to the Holy Spirit.

He's our Teacher. Book of John 14:28,

John 16:13-14, 1 Peter 2:2,

1 Corinthians 3:2

If we're not quoting scripture like The Son of God, what are we learning?

Acts 19:15 And the evil spirit answered and said, Jesus I know, and Paul I know; BUT WHO ARE YOU?!

This is what we need. More Christians quoting scripture like the Son of God.

I have visions ok. I had this one of me as a baby Christian: I was sitting on a chair by this big table. I had my arms on the table pulling food into my mouth. Everybody's face looks on with disgust. Then I hear Jesus laughing at the head of the table. He was pleased.

Jesus likes to see a healthy appetite!

If I sound kinda rowdy it's because I'm from Texas. If we all ate the Bible like Texans can pack on some barbecue, we'd all be firing scripture like the Son of God.

When Jesus was in the desert, fasting 40 days and nights: he was challenged by Satan. Jesus said, IT IS WRITTEN: and He fired off the appropriate Scripture. He defeated Satan each time. We can too. We're his disciples because we follow Him.

The only arrows in our quiver, are scriptures. Your Sword of the Spirit enlarges with Gods WORD in our mouth.

God provides. We obey.

Millennium kingdom.

Part 6.

The Millennium will be the time when there will be the full manifestation of the glory, the power and the will of God over this earth. And all agree that this is not in evidence today. You'll not have hospitals, you'll not have graveyards, you'll not have the suffering nor broken hearts and lives when Christ is reigning on this earth. And it's an insult to my Lord to say that the Kingdom of Heaven is being built today and is in existence on this earth. When He is reigning you won't have the tragedy that presently exists throughout the world.

Millennium takes its label, is detailed in numerous passages including Revelation 20, Isaiah 65, and Ezekiel 40-48, among others. Ezekiel's detailed tour of the Millennial Temple virtually defies any skeptic's attempt to treat it allegorically.

1 John 2:27. Is not a verse we use to defy scripture. Any revelation from the Holyspirit should line up with Gods written word, and what Jesus taught.

John 14:26. But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you.

One can symbolize all the scripture and twist it to say what ever. This is Dangerously flawed!!

Jesus said MY sheep hear my voice, to follow another voice and turn from the call of the great shepherd then you're not his sheep.

Paul says Galatians 1:6-8. I marvel that ye are so soon removed from him that called you into the grace of Christ unto another gospel:

Which is not another; but there be some that trouble you, and would pervert the gospel of Christ.

But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed.

2 John 1:9-10.

Keep that which is committed to thy trust, avoiding profane and vain babblings, and oppositions of science falsely so called:

Which some professing have erred concerning the faith.

God bless.

I believe much of the wisdom from the Bible is aimed to help us grow in maturity, avoid sin, as well as avoid general problems in life. If you have some from your church who warned you they may care about you and are repeating the warning from the Bible in 2 Corinthians 6:14.

Some choose to ignore God's word and do their own thing and seek to fill their desires away from God and some learn the hard way and deeply regret their decision at some point. We're called to love everyone so it's always Biblical to love someone of a different faith. But this verse says not to be 'yoked' with unbelievers which I interpret as a relationship such as marriage. So, it's doing you a favor by informing you of this pitfall in advance. It's my personal opinion that catholics teach, believe in and practice falsehoods, because Jesus said no one comes to the Father but through him ( John 14:6). Catholics ignore this and have a pope instead. Some bow before him, pray to him, have graven images of him, worship him. Some also chant, bow down to graven images (idols) of Mary, and worship her. This violates the first 2 of the 10 commandments. There's more, but any one of these practices are major departures from God's word.

Hello, it really doesn't matter what man thinks, but what God says, correct? So, if you believe and trust God then go with God's word. Here's the problem: people are falsely assuming they're 'saved' before they're even judged. It doesn't say in the Bible we're saved before we're judged, but after. The judgment is to determine salvation. So, you have many here claiming they can't lose their salvation. But that won't occur until after this life. So, they are taking verses that are for that and assuming they apply now. But read the Word closely, Paul said we can have assurance of salvation. Not that we're saved and can do whatever we want with no consequence. Paul said to run the race to get the prize. But people here are thinking he said 'you already have the prize, so don't run any race, and enjoy the world.' It says don't conform to the world.

Matthew 12:32 "...but whosoever speaketh against the Holy Ghost, it shall not be forgiven him, neither in this world, neither in the world to come."

Matthew 7:21-23

"Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven."

Hi Gloria.

Accompany reading the Bible with listening to it.

The Lord will meet you right where you are at! God don't depend on man's intellect.

If we depend on our reasoning to fully understand the bible we all would be lost. God put his spirit in man and opened our eyes to what he has to say to us.

1 Corinthians 2:9-16. But as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him.

But God hath revealed them unto us by his Spirit: for the Spirit searcheth all things, yea, the deep things of God.

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.

Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the spirit which is of God; that we might know the things that are freely given to us of God.

Which things also we speak, not in the words which man's wisdom teacheth, but which the Holy Ghost teacheth; comparing spiritual things with spiritual.

But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned.

But he that is spiritual judgeth all things, yet he himself is judged of no man.

For who hath known the mind of the Lord, that he may instruct him? But we have the mind of Christ.

1 Corinthians 1:26-29. For ye see your calling, brethren, how that not many wise men after the flesh, not many mighty, not many noble, are called:

But God hath chosen the foolish things of the world to confound the wise; and God hath chosen the weak things of the world to confound the things which are mighty;

And base things of the world, and things which are despised, hath God chosen, yea, and things which are not, to bring to nought things that are:

That no flesh should glory in his presence.

Also read. John 16:13-14.

John 14:26.

This site is for help.

God bless.

I take it to believe "yea", may not be him rejoicing but even that, has scripture backing Philippians 4:4-9, James 1:2-4, 1 John 4:18,

even if we walk in/near death we should not fear because GOD promises to be with us (that trust in HIM) Deuteronomy 31:8, Hebrews 13:5-6, John 14:16-21, Psalm 139:1-24, Psalms 37:40,

The rod; Proverbs 13:24, Job 21:9, Proverbs 29:15, Lamentations 3:1, many times references discipline, correction: Proverbs 22:15, Proverbs 23:14, Proverbs 3:12, Hebrews 12:4-8-11, Staff: Hebrews 11:21, Zechariah 8:4, Exodus 21:19, Numbers 22:27, 2 Samuel 3:29, Judges 6:21

Hopefully these scriptures help you with the HOLY Spirit to understand deeper. John 14:26, James 1:5

May I add, The Godhead though having three are the one, eternal God there is an order of government. The Father is the head and is greater than the Son.
