roadrunner Posted September 7, 2012 Share Posted September 7, 2012 I have always heard the atheist argument that there are so many religions how do you know who's right so you may as well quit wasting time. As a matter of fact I agree with it but to further the argument and apply it to these thousands of denominations that swear that THEY are correct. Ive heard the saying that there are "no catholics, baptists or methodists in heaven, only christians". So christians, this holy spirit that comes to guide you should be the same for all denomination since there is one god. Yet, the holy spirits leads pastors to preach that speaking in tougues is unbiblical and another denomination says its led BY this same holy spirit to speak in tongues. Why can't this holy spirit agree with itself on what it wants to do or consent to? How many teachings are held sacred by one denomination and pagan by another? Could it be this holy spirit is simply the mind of the believer? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OnceConvinced Posted September 7, 2012 Share Posted September 7, 2012 yep, sadly the Holy Spirit is incompetent. It can't bring unity amongst Christians. So much for God. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Super Moderator florduh Posted September 7, 2012 Super Moderator Share Posted September 7, 2012 You must ask Thumbelina what the HS really is saying. I think he's saying, "Thumbelina, go thou into the clubs and arenas and wrestle topless in the mud." 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
centauri Posted September 7, 2012 Share Posted September 7, 2012 The prayer of Jesus in John 17, for his followers to display complete unity, was a failure along with his claim that the Holy Spirit would guide believers into all truth. That's the reality believers are faced with but can't accept. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Positivist Posted September 7, 2012 Share Posted September 7, 2012 A friend told me a funny true, local story. A church board was trying to make a decision about something but could not come to agreement. The pastor told the board members to go home and pray about the matter and to come back the next day to share what the Holy Spirit advised each of them about the right course of action. So they all went home and sincerely prayed. They reconvened, as planned, the next day, and a vote was taken to see how the Holy Spirit was leading. They admitted all hearing the Holy Spirit's leading and were excited to move forward in agreement with one another. But guess what? The group was split right down the middle: one side "yes" and the other "no". Holy Spirit confused? Indeed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If so, she gets mad props from me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ConureDelSol Posted September 7, 2012 Share Posted September 7, 2012 See, this is why I think life would be easier if we were in some sort of mind-reading collective like the Borg. Then we'd know exactly what EVERYONE'S "holy spirit" was telling them. Then we could stop them before they actually did whatever it told them to do... I have been watching Star Trek again lately, can you tell? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
par4dcourse Posted September 7, 2012 Share Posted September 7, 2012 I believe the idea of mud wrestling for jebus has been tossed about. That would clear up all doubt about who's hs is bs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
