Dear Elder Yong,
Happy Chinese New Year to you! I have come across some questions and hopping you can enlighten me. My below questions maybe a little disordered plus touching on topics that are too broad, however these are my tread of thoughts when reading Holy Sprits. An overview answer from you will be very much sufficient. Grateful to your excellent efforts and thanks a million!
1.Does a human consist sprits, soul & body? What does the bible says?
2.What are the functions of each entity?
3.Does human soul or sprit provide human conscious?
4.Does it mean our sprit are changed or replaced when Holy Sprit abide/dwells in us?
5.How does Holy Sprit works together with human conscious? Pls give an eg.
6.How can we differentiate between voices from Holy Sprits, own conscious or the devil?
7.How does one get prompting / guiding of Holy Sprit (Roman 7:6, Psalm 46:10, John 16:13)?
8.Some Christians or non-believers I’ve known are affright of joining wrong denominations or learning wrong teaching. Beside telling them to check on their faith statement, Can I tell them to trust God and follow their heart based on 1 Corinthians 14:33, James 1:5 , Psalms 32:8?
9.Can one truly believe he has Holy Sprits guidance? Based on Mt 7:7, Mt 21:22.
10.If one can be guided by Holy Sprits, why do great Christians still have differences (big or small) in certain doctrines? For eg. differences between Rev. Dr. Stephen Tong and you. Does it mean we do not fully submit to the Holy Sprits?
