“And I (Jesus) will pray (to) the Father, and He will give you another Helper,
that He may abide with you forever -- the Spirit of truth
… you know Him, for He dwells with you and will be in you.
I will not leave you orphans; I will come to you.
… If anyone loves Me, he will keep My word; and My Father will love him,
and We will come to him and make Our home with him.
… But the Helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in My name,
He will teach you all things, and bring to your remembrance all things that I said to you.” (John 14:16-26)

The Greek word here for "another" is "allos" meaning "another of the same kind" (ref: Vine).
So, the Holy Spirit is another Person of the Triune Godhead (like God the Son).
It seems to say that ...
all 3 Persons of the Triune God will come to be with the faithful believer,
but only the Holy Spirit will remain in him/her forever (i.e. until death),
and only the Holy Spirit will be the One doing the teaching.
Interesting, or what?

Hi evangelist. Welcome to the forum

I have the strength to face all conditions through the power that Christ gives me. Philippians Ch 4:13

[1:1] Peter, an apostle of Jesus Christ,
To those who are elect exiles of the Dispersion in Pontus, Galatia, Cappadocia, Asia, and Bithynia, [2] according to the foreknowledge of God the Father, in the sanctification of the Spirit, for obedience to Jesus Christ and for sprinkling with his blood:
May grace and peace be multiplied to you.
[3] Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ! According to his great mercy, he has caused us to be born again to a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, [4] to an inheritance that is imperishable, undefiled, and unfading, kept in heaven for you, [5] who by God's power are being guarded through faith for a salvation ready to be revealed in the last time.
(1 Peter 1:1-5 ESV)


Peters letter tells us that we are elect according to the foreknowledge of God, He is Father to us, His Spirit has and is sanctifying us for obedience to The Son whose very precious blood has sprinkled us. Because of His mercy, even great mercy as the apostle says, we have a living hope, a real hope, a most certain hope. The Resurrection of Jesus the Christ is our certain hope. Hope that is more real than what we know or see now. Hope that is as the apostle says is imperishable, undefiled and unfading. "God's power is guarding us through faith for a salvation ready to be revealed at the last time" You couldn't word it any better that that! What good news this is.

Please Yes and Amen if you are edified by this.

I have seen the light of the gospel in these verses;
1Co 15:1 Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand;
1Co 15:2 By which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain.
1Co 15:3 For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures;
1Co 15:4 And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures:
For many years I was tossed to and fro, not knowing if I have salvation or not.
Let God speak through the scriptures.
Ephesians 1:13 In whom ye also trusted, after that ye heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation: in whom also after that ye believed, ye were sealed with that holy Spirit of promise,

Create in me a clean heart O God and renew a steadfast spirit within me..Restore to me the joy of your salvation

Peace, be still (said to whatever storm comes my way)

Be still and know that I am God (good to know someone is in charge)

Jesus wept (touches my heart)

Dear Georgie, those are beautiful quotes and thoughts.

In case you ever want to find and read the full passages they are based on:

"And rising up, he rebuked the wind, and said to the sea: Peace, be still. And the wind ceased: and there was made a great calm. "
- New Testament, The Gospel of Mark, Chapter 4, Verse Number 39
(This reference can also be written as Mark 4:19, i.e. "Book Chaper:Verse" format)

"making wars to cease even to the end of the earth. He shall destroy the bow, and break the weapons: and the shield he shall burn in the fire. Be still and know that I am God; I will be exalted among the nations, and I will be exalted in the earth" - Old Testament, Book of Psalms, Psalm number 46, verses 9 and 10. (Can also be written as Psalm 46:9-10)

"When Jesus saw her weeping, and the Jews who had come along with her also weeping, he was deeply moved in spirit and troubled. "Where have you laid him?" he asked. "Come and see, Lord," they replied. Jesus wept. "
- New Testament, Gospel of John, Chapter 11, verses 33-35
(Can also be written as John 11:33-35)

For the grace of God that brings salvation has appeared to all men, teaching us that, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we should live soberly, righteously, and godly in the present age, looking for the blessed hope and glorious appearing of our great God and Savior Jesus Christ, who gave Himself for us, that He might redeem us from every lawless deed and purify for Himself His own special people, zealous for good works.
Titus 2:11-14

1) Corinthians 16:13 Be on your guard, stand firm in the faith, be men of courage, be strong.

Trust in Him at all times, you people;
Pour out your heart before Him;
God is a refuge for us.
(Psalm 62)

I'm not a terribly religious person at all but a quote I've always loved as it can be interpreted with the idea of karma is:

"Is méanar do lucht na trócaire, óir déanfar trócaire orthu."

Or in English:

"Blessed are the merciful for they shall have mercy shown unto them."

Matha 5:7/Matthew 5:7.

If you do not spend your money in doing good to others. it follows that you must spend it in harming yourself. Now these are the true results in riches spent on ourselves in worthless and needless expenses, and when used recklessly where there is no "real" need. We only succeed in using them to our own harm by creating "unreasonable" desires, nourishing bad qualities, indulging our passions and supporting a worldly, empty, attitude of mind.

For high eating and drinking, fine clothes and big houses, status, worldly pleasures and distractions, all harm and distort [defile] our hearts and minds. They are the food and nourishment of all the stupidity and weakness of our human nature. They are sure ways of making us worthless and worldly in our characters. They support things that ought not to be supported; they are contrary to that sobriety and devotion of heart which relishes Divine things; they are like so many weights upon our minds, which make us less able and less inclined to lift up our thoughts and affections to higher things, things that are above.

...."And He [the Father] raised us up together with Him and made us sit down together [giving us joint seating with Him] in the heavenly sphere [by virtue of our being] in Christ Jesus [the Messiah, the Anointed One]".... Ephesians 2:6 The Amplified Translation

...."Therefore if you have been raised up with Christ, keep seeking the things above, where Christ is, seated at the right hand of God. Set your mind on the things above, not on the things that are on earth. For you have died and your life is hidden with Christ in God".... Colossians 3:1-3 NASB

Surviving on this, presently: "Peace, be still"

Let him who is without sin cast the first stone.
