I speak plainly but please do not mistake it for arrogance.

My goal is that everyone genuinely has the Spirit so that I am not special.

I have not seen any light in you, although you think you get it.

I have encountered people with the Spirit online, it is not exclusive.

I just haven't encountered it here yet.

You misunderstand.

I am being direct and honest.

That appears arrogant, but it is just absence of doubt.

You call others being direct and honest something else while according special status to yourself.

You do not understand prophecy very well to say such things. Prophecy is to be valued because it
spoke of and pointed to Jesus Christ, Who has fulfilled hundreds already and will fulfill more when
He returns. There is no fear in any of this for me. Again you erroneously assume and falsely accuse.

Prophecy speaks of me so if anything it is an attempt to avoid ego traps.

I recognize your position. And I recognize what you believe concerning me. I don't have any hard feelings towards you. I just know that you lack discernment. Your assessment of me is firsthand knowledge for me.
I wish you the best.

If the Spirit was in you we'd recognize each other.

I hope you keep seeking until you find.

Do not let pride create a chasm.

Again, I am quoting scripture...

Why do you have an issue with scripture?

Please actually read 1 Corinthians 13:1-13 real quick.

You are accusing me falsly.

No I am not falsely accusing you, and you bear false witness even against yourself
claiming you quote Scripture when you repeatedly give citations without quotes.

The verses say prophecy comes to an end... that ultimately only love matters.

You are angry at Paul because you haven't read the scripture.
