Holy Spirit.

John 16:7-13
“But I tell you the truth, it is to your advantage that I go away; for if I do not go away, the Helper
shall not come to you; but if I go, I will send Him to you. And He, when He comes, will convict the
world concerning sin, and righteousness, and judgment; concerning sin, because they do not believe
in Me; and concerning righteousness, because I go to the Father, and you no longer behold Me; and
concerning judgment, because the ruler of this world has been judged. I have many more things to
say to you, but you cannot bear them now. But when He, the Spirit of truth, comes, He will guide
you into all the truth.”

The Talmud teaches that men can determine their own truth. It is filled with the thoughts and
opinions of the rabbis as they applied their carnal minds to the interpretation of God’s word. Christ
has testified that we need the Spirit of God to know truth. His apostles declared the vital role of the
Holy Spirit in ascertaining the thoughts of God, and the utter inability of the carnal mind to
apprehend spiritual truth.

Romans 8:14
For all who are being led by the Spirit of God, these are sons of God.

I Corinthians 2:11-14
For who among men knows the thoughts of a man except the spirit of the man, which is in him?
Even so the thoughts of God no one knows except the Spirit of God. Now we have received, not the
spirit of the world, but the Spirit who is from God, that we might know the things freely given to us
by God, which things we also speak, not in words taught by human wisdom, but in those taught by
the Spirit, combining spiritual thoughts with spiritual words. But a natural man does not accept the
things of the Spirit of God; for they are foolishness to him, and he cannot understand them, because
they are spiritually appraised.

As disciples of Christ we are to bear much fruit for the glory of God. We are informed that we can
ONLY bear fruit if we ABIDE in Christ. We do NOT want to be independent. The branch that is
independent from the vine withers away. It will be gathered up and cast into the fire.

John 15:4-8
“Abide in Me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, unless it abides in the vine, so
neither can you, unless you abide in Me. I am the vine, you are the branches; he who abides in Me,
and I in him, he bears much fruit; for apart from Me you can do nothing. If anyone does not abide
in Me, he is thrown away as a branch, and dries up; and they gather them, and cast them into the fire,
and they are burned. If you abide in Me, and My words abide in you, ask whatever you wish, and it
shall be done for you. By this is My Father glorified, that you bear much fruit, and so prove to be My
disciples.”

Talmudic Judaism is apostate because it has separated itself from God. The Son of God declared this
to be true. He warned His disciples of the persecution they would suffer at the hands of those who
claimed to be doing service to God. Christ’s disciples would suffer because their persecutors, the
