Has religion served its purpose?

But you are upset ... lol 😀
The man knows you are upset because he has the Holy Spirit.
So dont argue with people who have the Holy Spirit
Plus he can speak in tongues

“Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.

Nicodemus saith unto him, How can a man be born when he is old? can he enter the second time into his mother's womb, and be born?

Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God.”

(John 3:3-5)

Any Christian can speak in tongues.

You really shouldn’t mock what you don’t understand.

You should not lie about something you are not doing. You are a liar and a deceiver. The day people start interpreting what the are saying in tongues that is the day may start believing that it is true. So far nobody can interpret, so it is all gibberish.

The day you start speaking teaching and preaching like Jesus Christ, that is the day I will start believing that you have the Holy Spirit. Right now you have a church sprit in you, which counts for nothing. The Holy Spirit is a guide sent from God to remind you what Jesus preached and bring to your memory his teachings. So far you have failed.

More loving thy neighbor?

The Apostle Paul *prayed* in the Spirit and prayed with the understanding. I’ve repeatedly said I’m referring to praying in tongues (also known as praying in the Spirit) in private. You need no interpreters for that because the Holy Spirit inside a Christian is praying directly to God.

<<The day you start speaking teaching and preaching like Jesus Christ, that is the day I will start believing that you have the Holy Spirit.>>

Like you do, with your endless insults, condemnation and hate? I couldn’t care less what you think of me and whether you think I have the Holy Spirit. I know I do. See Romans 8:16.

<<Right now you have a church sprit in you, which counts for nothing. The Holy Spirit is a guide sent from God to remind you what Jesus preached and bring to your memory his teachings.>>

The Holy Spirit was sent to indwell Christians for more reasons than that, but yeah, that’s one of the reasons.

<<So far you have failed.>>

Your opinion of me means nothing to me. You’re a very hateful person and don’t have the love of God in you. And you’ll answer for all this hate someday. And boasting to Jesus about how you shoveled snow off your elderly neighbor’s stoop one winter ain’t gonna cut it, amigo.

Jesus said to love and all you do is hate.

How can anyone tell that you "have the Holy Spirit" aside from you saying so?

I’d recommend that you read Galatians. Chapter 5 I think addresses that.

But why would I be concerned if someone thinks I have the Holy Spirit, particularly if that person is an atheist who doesn’t believe the Holy Spirit exists anyway?

You are a complete waste of everybody's time. People who disagree with you, you call them hateful or angry. Nobody is angry. Nobody cares about hating you. People just see through your facade of using the Holy Spirit which clearly you do not have, to promote your false teachings, and promote yourself ... for whatever reason.

Disturbed people come to chatsites like this when they have personal problems and want to speak about themselves, and what they do and who they are and they love themselves. You are that type.

Most posters here never speak about themselves, as they are here to speak about issues and doctrines.

I am not asking about Galatians. I am asking you about the claim you make about yourself. If you do "have the Holy Spirit", how does it manifest itself in your character and behaviour, aside from you saying so over snd over and over again?

You don’t think calling someone a liar, a deceiver, Satan (as you previously called me) and a complete waste of everyone’s time is hateful?

I’ve got news for you, amigo. No Christ follower has as much hate inside of them as you do. You’re overflowing with hate - you hate the church, you hate Christians, you repeatedly break Jesus Christ’s commandments to love God and love thy neighbor. I really think you ought to consider professional counseling or an exorcism. I’ve never met anybody - online or offline - who’s as hateful as you. All you do in here is spew hate.

Well, in Rajk's defence, you are actually a liar, so, well, there's that.

How would someone here who DID believe that people can "have the Holy Spirit" be able to know that you did?

And I don’t say so over and over and over again. I don’t think I’ve said it more than once, if I’ve even said it once.

Not a liar at all. You’re projecting.

You probably said it more than 100 times in 2018, here on this forum.

Read Galatians 5.
