I told you. I think it is referring to the influence of the Spirit. I don't think you drive the spirit away but by living incorrectly you no longer hear his influence. I believe sometimes Prophets speak in the way they understand and convey shaded information.
Do you want to respond to my questions? Are they too hard to answer? You seem very interested in no answering questions or defining your own beliefs, as Adam pointed out. If you are so sure you are correct in everything you state, why do you avoid explaining or defining? I admit I'm open to revisiting positions on things. You, otoh, seem to decide what you think and then find facts to support your position.

God's not taking back anything. The Gift of the HG means you CAN have his constant presence in your life, IF you live worthily. ONLY those that receive this gift have this opportunity. |

To me, mullahs aren't stupid. This is why they are dangerous. So, no.

Your question is clumsily phrased, anyway. God doesn't revoke the gift of the Holy Ghost anymore than one needs an additional confirmation ordinance after sinning. But that doesn't mean the Holy Ghost abides with someone embracing sin. Aren't we really splitting hairs anyway? Does it really make a doctrinal difference whether the Spirit is physically with the person or not? Quote:

But you also believe if you after repenting for a sin commit the same sin again, all the previous sins will come back to you as if never repented for. You also believe time periods of perfection and elimination of sin are requisite for repentance to prove you really repented. So by that, I don't know how anyone could ever be worthy by your definition. Is anyone ever truly repentant and therefore worthy in your world? Or does it go back to the issue that you only define sin as the stuff you don't do, the "big ones". |
