And as each is lead, so let him be led. It is said that we are to follow God's Law. Some will go into that thinking all laws are from God and must be obeyed.. Some will go into it thinking that Christ fulfilled certain aspects of that Law and what remains is God's Law (Love). Yet, another will go in thinking that any obedience nullifies faith. But, one thing we see here is that all three are led by an earnest desire to know God. Who are we to say that the Spirit must start His tutorage at a particular point for all, knowing that we all come from different outlooks in life? I believe the Spirit leads each from where that person stands and in the end, we all come to the same knowledge.

But, do not misunderstand me. Some, in their zest, declare early in their "walk to the Truth" that what they know is the absolute Truth and will come into conflict with those in front, even some behind them. You are right brother Josh. This is only one Truth and one path which leads to It and only One who leads to It (Him), but we all do not walk a straight line, some are closer to the crown of life than others.

But yet, there are some who has died in their walk. Yet, there are some who has fallen, but the Coach is right there with them to edge them onward to the Truth. It is only when we walk off the track that we have abandoned the race and the One who leads us to the finish line. Until we all have finished the race, there are people all over the tract.

My brother, I will see you at the finish line. Whoever gets there first, let us not forget those we have left behind, those still being led by the Spirit to Truth.

so your telling me that this spirit leads people into a completely different directions of something, like " you follow this law and you follow this law, is that what you are saying? i thought it's suppose to be all truth so why does other people who claim to be born again don't go to another denomination? since it's all " the truth ", i see what you are trying to say though i truly do but it's either you receive it or you don't you will instantly know what is the truth when you are born again, maybe somewhere along the path some people may realise that something isn't right and will hopefully go to the lord for anwsers

What I am saying: we all do not look at life with the same pair of eyes. So, the Spirit starts from what we think and from there leads all He leads to the Truth. One Christian might been brought up by his parents who taught him that things must be worked for. So, as an adult, he might think that he has to work for salvation. The Spirit, on the other hand, works with him from that notion and leads him to the understanding that faith and not physical works is the means to earn everlasting life.

Yet, another might have been bought up to believe that all things must be given to him because that was the way it was when he was a child. The Spirit, again, works with him from that notion and leads him to the understanding that faith without works is dead.

What I am saying is that the Spirit leads to the Truth, but with each person, there is a different starting point. But, nevertheless, the Spirit leads to the same and absolute Truth.

Listen brother: you say that when one is reborn, he will instantly know what the Truth is. If this is so, why would he come to an realization somewhere along the path that something is not right and seek the Lord for answers, if he already know all Truth. It is said by some young Christians that grace has freed them from the Law of sin, and then go out and live their life as before. But, deep down they feel a conviction. This conviction tells them that the path they are on now is not the Lord's path. And by faith, they hearken to the Spirit of the Lord and redirect their steps to be in harmony to God's will.

Listen still: if it is said that once we are reborn, we know all Truth, then why does it say that we presently do not know all things. But, that when the Perfect comes, we shall then know all things, seeing that we shall be like Him. Just as an infant, his parents tutor him in the way he should walk until he comes of age. Likewise, our Father gives to us a Tutor to teach us the way we should walk until the Perfect comes back. If an infant knows all things when he is born, then what need is there for a Tutor?
