My response:
What the posted article indicates is why the Holy Spirit needs to be told what and when to "say"
things human beings.
John 16:12 “I have many more things to say to you, but you cannot bear {them} now. 13 But
when He, the Spirit of truth, comes, He will guide you into all the truth; for He will not speak on
His own initiative, but whatever He hears, He will speak; and He will disclose to you what is to
come. 14 He will glorify Me, for He will take of Mine and will disclose {it} to you. 15 All things
that the Father has are Mine; therefore I said that He takes of Mine and will disclose {it} to
you.”
The Holy Spirit did not experience being human as Jesus Christ did.
Also, the promises in 1 Corinthians 10:13 and Romans 8:28 have kept me with hope after the
upsets and the heartbreaks in my life. Notice the requirements for the promises.
1 Corinthians 10:12 “Therefore let anyone who thinks he stands [who feels sure that he has a
steadfast mind and is standing firm], take heed lest he fall [into sin]. 13 For no temptation (no
trial regarded as enticing to sin), [no matter how it comes or where it leads] has overtaken you
{and} laid hold on you that is not common to man [that is, no temptation or trial has come to
you that is beyond human resistance and that is not adjusted and adapted and belonging to
human experience, and such as man can bear]. But God is faithful [to His Word and to His
compassionate nature], and He [can be trusted] not to let you be tempted {and} tried {and}
assayed beyond your ability {and} strength of resistance {and} power to endure, but with the
temptation He will [always] also provide the way out (the means of escape to a landing place),
that you may be capable {and} strong {and} powerful to bear up under it patiently. 14
Therefore, my dearly beloved, shun (keep clear away from, avoid by flight if need be) any sort of
idolatry (of loving or venerating anything more than God).”
Romans 8:28 “We are assured {and} know that [God being a partner in their labor] all things
work together {and} are [fitting into a plan] for good to {and} for those who love God and are
called according to [His] design {and} purpose.”
