You stand against men who have done you no harm and who believed their was a path to love.
You make false accusations against them, as I once did, but you haven't even read the book. Do you believe everything everyone says?
People seem to be afraid to even touch the texts of a prophet not there own. Then they follow men who say give me money and I will tell you the truth. Not one of the prophets sold the word of God.
But you believe in the interpretations given to us by the greedy men who thought religion, God's word, was a path to financial gain.
Who exactly owns God's word and thus has the right to sell it????

The baptism of John what was it? Since you say you believe in baptism and the bible only speaks of two, but John says the baptism of Christ superseded anything he was doing.
John's baptism was repentance (to turn away from sin, to stop sinning, to sin no more).This was important that they cleansed themselves ritually to make way for the perfect Christ, who would Take away their sins.
Jesus baptism of the Holy Spirit can only come to the man who believes he is above sin/Satan and can indeed with the help of the Holy Spirt walk a path of perfection and shine like Christ.
Satan is never called God's son, but Jesus called those of us who believe in the Holy Spirit to be son's. He is the way and his way is perfect.
The spirit of disobedience and chaos remains in our lives everyday. This spirit that tells us to justify sin by ritual. What was Satan's biggest lies.
1. He can give you the world
2. If you have all the knowledge in the world you will be like God, Even jesus said none is good.
3. The lie he tells through the church he established, Satan tells you it's his world and you will always fail to overcome his will.
Ad his biggest lie, it's ok to sin a d long as you perform the right ritual you will go to heaven.
If you still believe that it's impossible to ignore the Spirit of disobedience/Satan, than what baptism did you receive? And from what doctrine did this baptism come from???
Only the one who believes he can overcome sin can find heaven within. Those who remain in sin will remain afraid and suffer much depression.
Jesus died for my sins and he lives within me. He is the Holy Spirit sent to me by his father, exactly what the bible says.
You say because they were not perfect men and that you disagree with some of the texts that they were liars. They claimed to be prophets, started all the world's religions. It is not the prophets who stand in contradiction only your understanding.

If your so sure, show me the passages that are against the Holy Spirit and I will interpret them for you. Any verse any scripture, I've read many and understand everything i've read. Still no contradictions.
I'm not trying to go against you. What I am saying is you have become so indoctrinated by water baptism as a necessary ritual that you can't see past it.

All of these men claimed what they were teaching was from the Holy Spirit. They were not perfect men but they were not blasphemous.
What you believe is Ghandi couldn't possibly be full of the Holy Spirit, but what did he teach that is against the Holy Spirit? What did Buddah teach that was against the Holy Spirit.

I'm sure this happens but the Koran does not condone such behavior. Alcohol is forbidden in the Koran but will be given back in the new age comming soon, just like predicted.

I see what your saying, but I will not accept that. The fact that Jesus died for our sins does not save us. We need to believe it to be saved.
Show me where your prophets said, "BELIEVE on Jesus Christ and you will be saved".
Jesus is not the Holy Spirit. He is in union with the Father and the Holy Spirit, but they are 3 different beings.
