The Holy Spirit does speak, but he won't speak of himself he only speaks what he hears. If we don't give Him inerrant bible verses.... Well he won't speak. Another spirit however is ready to jump right in and speak.

I imagine most people today do not even know what "begotten" means. It is not a word commonly used today.
However, everyone knows what a "son" is... it is the child of a father.
To say that Jesus is God's one and only son, is the same thing as saying he is his "only begotten" son, in today's vernacular.
I've never heard anyone argue about that. Ever. Well, except for the KJV onlyists, who want to insist on using archaic words and phrases that MOST people don't understand anymore.
The idea, or thought, or fact that the word is getting across STILL comes across, accurately.... in language that people can understand.

So He can't say which version is correct?
He does say more than quoting from the correct Bible , whichever that is in opinions.

I'm sure begotten isn't even in a lot of languages.. By his claim, they can't hear then..
I don't know of any bible verses that say the Holy Spirit will speak of himself. He leads us to truth by bringing scripture to our rembrance.
It comes from the bible in the book of John I believe. The Holy Spirit will only speak what he hears.

I don't know of any verse that says He only quotes the Bible.. He led Jesus in the same way.. How else did Jesus know what to do? God speaks, HS speaks.. Jesus did not only speak when quoting scripts..

God's word is in all languages. Begotten means to be sired from, I'm sure all languages have an equivalent word.

Here's the bible verse:
Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak: and he will shew you things to come.

Re-read what you just quoted. He says what he hears, not what He heard.. God speaks all the time.

If you honestly want to know, things concerning my life.. If you think it's impossible, I will not endeavor to go back and forth as that is futile..
Well as far as i know whether the Holy Spirit speaks, God the Father speaks or God the Son speaks it is God who is speaking. So saying the Holy Spirit does not speak is the same as saying God does not speak. And seeing how God speaks to us through the Holy Spirit, i would say God is then speaking. God the Father, God the Son and the Holy Spirit equals God in full.
Unless you are seperating the Holy Spirit from God. If thats the case then i would say you have a problem with the trinity in general.
