Scripture is the living inspired Word of God. Is the Holy Spirit God? Yes, it is.
Scripture confirms how we are Born Of The Spirit = Spirit gives birth to spirit” = supernatural divine heart revelation a Living spirit birth.

Scripture is NOT the Living Spirit Of God..

You can believe whatever you like.

THEY did not continue in HIM . They were never OF HIM .
had they been OF HIM , no doubt they would have continued with us .
But always remember the born again apostels DID WARN ALL MEMEBERS of THE CHURCH of the DIRE NEED TO CONTINUE IN HIM .
see that is where osas MESSES THINGS UP . it dont bring no warnings , RATHER it twists any warning
to rather fit an acroymn . That is why i have a problem with OSAS DOCTRINE . its the doctrines it omits and twists .
I would say that members of forums like this ARE abiding in Him themselves because they have to be in the Word to be able to post arguments, even if wrong doctrinally. They still love Jesus and read His Word. That's the important thing.

You can believe whatever you like.
Hebrews 4:12 (NKJV) For the word of God [is] living and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the division of soul and spirit, and of joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.

Indeed, but what you don’t understand is,

The scripture is confirming that the word of God who is a Living Spirit, is Alive and Active ...is Gods witness the Holy Spirit Alive and Active in your heart?

Is the Holy Spirit Alive and everywhere in the world?

Can you see the Holy Spirit?

He’s like the wind..quoting and searching the scriptures doesn’t make one’s spirit Born Again..only Gods Living Witness can testify with our spirit that we are Gods children, a spiritual rebirth, that’s how I know God..he gifts us supernatural faith as his word says.

Romans 8​

King James Version​

8 There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.
2 For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath made me free from the law of sin and death.
3 For what the law could not do, in that it was weak through the flesh, God sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh, and for sin, condemned sin in the flesh:
4 That the righteousness of the law might be fulfilled in us, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.
5 For they that are after the flesh do mind the things of the flesh; but they that are after the Spirit the things of the Spirit.
6 For to be carnally minded is death; but to be spiritually minded is life and peace.
7 Because the carnal mind is enmity against God: for it is not subject to the law of God, neither indeed can be.
8 So then they that are in the flesh cannot please God.
9 But ye are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit, if so be that the Spirit of God dwell in you. Now if any man have not the Spirit of Christ, he is none of his.
10 And if Christ be in you, the body is dead because of sin; but the Spirit is life because of righteousness.
11 But if the Spirit of him that raised up Jesus from the dead dwell in you, he that raised up Christ from the dead shall also quicken your mortal bodies by his Spirit that dwelleth in you.
12 Therefore, brethren, we are debtors, not to the flesh, to live after the flesh.
13 For if ye live after the flesh, ye shall die: but if ye through the Spirit do mortify the deeds of the body, ye shall live.
14 For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God.
15 For ye have not received the spirit of bondage again to fear; but ye have received the Spirit of adoption, whereby we cry, Abba, Father.
16 The Spirit itself beareth witness with our spirit, that we are the children of God:
17 And if children, then heirs; heirs of God, and joint-heirs with Christ; if so be that we suffer with him, that we may be also glorified together
.
18 For I reckon that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us.
19 For the earnest expectation of the creature waiteth for the manifestation of the sons of God.
20 For the creature was made subject to vanity, not willingly, but by reason of him who hath subjected the same in hope,
21 Because the creature itself also shall be delivered from the bondage of corruption into the glorious liberty of the children of God.
22 For we know that the whole creation groaneth and travaileth in pain together until now.
23 And not only they, but ourselves also, which have the firstfruits of the Spirit, even we ourselves groan within ourselves, waiting for the adoption, to wit, the redemption of our body.
24 For we are saved by hope: but hope that is seen is not hope: for what a man seeth, why doth he yet hope for?
25 But if we hope for that we see not, then do we with patience wait for it.
26 Likewise the Spirit also helpeth our infirmities: for we know not what we should pray for as we ought: but the Spirit itself maketh intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered.
27 And he that searcheth the hearts knoweth what is the mind of the Spirit, because he maketh intercession for the saints according to the will of God.
28 And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose.
29 For whom he did foreknow, he also did predestinate to be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brethren.
30 Moreover whom he did predestinate, them he also called: and whom he called, them he also justified: and whom he justified, them he also glorified
.
31 What shall we then say to these things? If God be for us, who can be against us?
32 He that spared not his own Son, but delivered him up for us all, how shall he not with him also freely give us all things?
33 Who shall lay any thing to the charge of God's elect? It is God that justifieth.
34 Who is he that condemneth? It is Christ that died, yea rather, that is risen again, who is even at the right hand of God, who also maketh intercession for us.
35 Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword?
36 As it is written, For thy sake we are killed all the day long; we are accounted as sheep for the slaughter.
37 Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us.
38 For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come,
39 Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.

Here’s my advice to you. Continue to study the Word of God like you’re doing, and not just to win an argument. Study because you love Jesus with all your heart and desire to learn all that He wrote in His love letter to you, the Bible. Ask God to help you understand. Be patient. The LORD will answer you and teach you.

My advice to you is.pray for divine heart revelation ,no need to get nasty,

You need to know God in your heart, ..Spirit gives birth to spirit = divine heart revelation...I speak Gods truth.you just post scripture.

God gives us life in our spirit, we come Alive in our spirit, just trying to help you that is all.

I can’t deny Gods word because it upsets you, sorry can’t do that.

The Holy Spirit is Gods Living Witness, not the Bible..nothing to do with arguing, if you get upset because I challenge you @LatterRain ..that’s your problem not mine.

I’m called to stand on God’s truth and stand on it I will.

RJ says, I’m in the word most of the day..,thank you.

RJ says...By the way God loves me from within my Heart, as his word says, he loved us first, the Bible confirms this...the Spirit Of God is pure unadulterated Love..= Spirit gives birth to spirit...that’s how I know the Love Of God, His seed penetrated my heart / spirit.the Bible confirms this.

I would say that members of forums like this ARE abiding in Him themselves because they have to be in the Word to be able to post arguments, even if wrong doctrinally. They still love Jesus and read His Word. That's the important thing.
kenneth copeland and the pope make speeches and talk about the LORD all the time .
It dont mean THEY ABIDING in HIM sister . This generation is becoming far too focused on the wrong kind of getting along
If i didnt love you i would have said nothing . Now lets bible up again .
I see some regularly on this site that often always post things . But what these post PROVE they dont know him .
SO i sure as heck would not say members of forums are abiding in HIM .
Not all anyway . We better really tilt our necks and raise our arms holding a bible and reading it daily .
Something is going amiss and now it seems to be affecting even some
that were more determined to at least focus on doctrine .
The LORD warned me long long ago that in the end any and all who were not truly of HIM
truly His , stuck to the wrong stuff and really their love was attached to the world , WERE ALL GONNA GO
right into the END TIME DELUSION . Lets do a check up from the heart and neck up sister .
LETS fall in love with the truth in that bible again . Refresh yourself in them pages . and stay in prayer .

your wearing out and down sister . I can see it .
Yet by grace ol amigo is still charged and focused . You might want to ask yourself why that might be .
IT AINT CAUSE I AM BETTER THAN YOU , OR EVEN THINK I AM . so lets get that mindset out of the way .
SO many have for so long been stuck on the doctrines of men . For years i have warned many
WE have just got to put them denominational teachings down and start over FOR OURSELVES .
This will mean we gonna have to put down the denominational teachings we held too
AND JUST start fresh in the bible for ourselves and read it for ourselves . many are not gonna make it sister .
I aint giving up on ya , I AM JUST trying to help you . Start over IN just the bible for YOU . DO it NOW , today
while it is still called today .

Rita , ya know i loves ya so do not see this as any kind of attack .
Do you beleive that when i do as i do its to SIMPLY PROVE ME RIGHT
OR is it because i truly love the peoples .
You pray about it . But i can tell ya its not at all about me proving me right and someone else wrong .
by grace i already know the ONLY REASON i even know as i do is BY HIS GRACE and i am NO BETTER
than anyone else . I do as i do because i desire only GOOD for the peoples .
Even for those who have called me anti christ , satan and scores of other things .
I DESIRE THEIR GOOD and not their destruction . GOD put me in the BIBLE sister to learn and to grow .
NOT so i could have a following , NO so i could look good in my eyes and have men to bow before me and priase me .
BUT SO as i could learn . By grace the more i learned and do learn
THE MORE I SEE i am truly But a wee thing that never deserved WHAT JESUS attained for me .
And the longer , by grace , i have continued to only READ the bible
the smaller and smaller , and smaller and smaller this flea has become in its own eyes .
You honestly want to know how i see myself . Without CHRIST , WITHOUT the SPIRIT
WITHOUT HIM and HIS GRACE , WICKED TO THE CORE and ROTTED TO THE T sister .
IN fact the ONLY , lets say this again , THE ONLY GOODNESS i have in me , IT AINT OF ME , ITS OF GOD .
Ever wonder why i POINT TO CHRIST ALONE , HIS DOCTRINE , and never offer up any kind of false hope to man .
ITS CAUSE THERE IS NO OTHER HOPE for man . YOU HEARD ME RIGHT . THERE IS NO OTHER HOPE FOR MAN .
GOD has chosen , AND HE IS WORTHY TO DO AS HE PLEASE S , HOW TO save
BY the preaching of the gopsel that those who bELIEVE would be saved . INTERFAITH IS OF SATAN .

The Holy Spirit witnesses to our spirit who Jesus Christ is/ was.scripture confirms this.

How would I know who Jesus is, having never read a Bible, not until I was Born Of The Spirit? @amigo de christo ?

The Living Holy Spirit testifies with our spirit that we are God’s children, the Bible didn’t do that for me.it came by divine heart revelation.

GOD put me in the BIBLE sister to learn and to grow
God birthed me in the Spirit that is where I learn and grow. the Bible is not who I idolise , the Bible is not God,I idolise God from within my spirit, that is where his seed remains.

I know God in my spirit, the Holy Spirit indwells my spirit, Born Again of imperishable seed that liveth and abideth forever. I’m in the heart of God all day long...every day for the past 33 yrs.
Do you understand that?

Spirit gives birth to spirit = a Living supernatural rebirth that came by divine heart revelation.,.do you understand that also?

The Bible is NOT God!.,he is a Living Spirit.who is to be worshipped in spirit and truth.

I Love the Spirit Of God..you tell me what is better than to be in LOVE with the Spirit Of God, I idolise him, now you tell me what is wrong with that?

The Living Holy Spirit Loves me in my heart/ spirit, what is better than that?

I’m deeply in Love with God just as his word says, Love me with all your heart, mind and soul.

I am not in Love with a Bible @amigo de christo .

I Love the Spirit Of God..you tell me what is better than to be in LOVE with the Spirit Of God, I idolise him, now you tell me what is wrong with that?
In SPIRIT and IN TRUTH . THE SPIRIT IS TRUTH rita . so i have zero problems with one who says they love the SPIRIT
MY problem is that within many the spirit they seem to be loving IS CONTRADICTING the written truth .
Guess what that means . THEY AINT LOVING the SPIRIT they are loving the spirit that feeds their flesh .
Let us ponder on that for a while . Everyone under the moon can cliam they love the SPIRIT .
not saying you dont . But anyone can make the cliam they love the SPIRIT
yet why is it they dont seem to love the TRUTH . cause the SPIRIT is TRUTH and leads us into TRUTH .
not into lies that feed our flesh . IT really is bible time rita . i say that for our own good .
