lol...sorry, I tend to do that (Pauline sentences) without meaning to. Most of the time, at least, they seem to be understandable. Please let me know if they're not though.
Well, that's exactly the question, isn't it? I mean, we bring up the topic of the Holy Spirit (sorry for the abbreviation...I've got used to jotting it down that way in my notes), we can get any number of completely different an conflicting responses depending on the person we're talking to. I guess that was really the entire point of my previous post. I think in my mind I was tying it into special revelation, because of the idea people seem to have of prophecy and the like...but looking back on it, I didn't make that very clear. I think it was in response to the Bible, or the Holy Spirit being the source of Special Revelation, which then would immediately raise the question, how does the Holy Spirit interact today and such, which finally led to the "everyone is majorly of hugely different opinions on this matter, making it a fairly important, if offensive, topic."

). I have never personally experienced people getting offended by a discussion of the activity of the Holy Spirit (what He does and does not do). I think that this topic is of enough importance that even if individuals were to get offended by the discussion, it is not one that we should shy away from. So by all means, start a new thread about it and let's... have at it! Hehe...
