shall not come to you; but if I go, I will send Him to you... 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...”

Note that Yahshua does not say that upon His departure He will send them a flawless text of the
Scriptures. Neither does He suggest that the Bible will lead them into all truth. These activities
belong to the Holy Spirit. As the prophets have testified, “and they all shall be taught of God.” This
truth the apostle John affirms.

I John 2:27
And as for you, the anointing which you received from Him abides in you, and you have no need for
anyone to teach you; but as His anointing teaches you about all things, and is true and is not a lie,
and just as it has taught you, you abide in Him.

Have you ever been sitting in a church service, or Bible study, and heard someone proclaim
something that in your spirit you sensed was not right? You may not be immediately able to refute
the error you have heard, but because you are sensitive to the voice of the Spirit as you listen to
others speak, you have a sense of truth and error. You may be prompted to go home and look further
into some claim that you heard spoken to see if there is validity to it.

As the Holy Spirit is able to make us sensitive to error in the spoken word, He is also capable of
disclosing to us error in the written word. Even as a pastor, whose mind has been corrupted by false
doctrines and errant beliefs, presents no insolvable roadblock to faith, so too we find that the errors
present in our Bibles today may be overcome as we invite Yahweh to lead us into all truth, and to
disclose to us error when we encounter it.

As I shared in the preceding chapter, the ultimate environment to stimulate spiritual growth is one
in which believers are made to struggle. If truth came too easily to us, we would not learn needed
spiritual disciplines, or develop the fruits of the Spirit. In the book of Proverbs, the sluggard and
slothful man is condemned.

Proverbs 13:4
The soul of the sluggard craves and gets nothing, but the soul of the diligent is made fat.

You may crave truth as a Christian, but Yahweh has so designed this present creation that it requires
diligence to obtain it. If you do not exercise yourself unto godliness, if you fail to stir yourself up and
study the word of God as “a workman that need not be ashamed,” you will find that rising above the
pervasive and cloying errors of an apostate church is a goal that remains just beyond your reach.
Yahweh wants His people to manifest patience, perseverance, longsuffering, faithfulness, and every
other good and noble trait as we walk with Christ and search for truth.

There is a very insightful expression stated by Solomon in the book of Proverbs.

Proverbs 15:19
The way of a sluggard is like a hedge of thorns, but the path of the upright is a level highway.
