Spirit- When the Christian speaks of the Spirit, we are talking about the Spirit that rules Crhistianity. The same Spirit that Jesus sent to replace Him. Not some guide, but THE guide. I am not talking religion, I am talking reality. I am not mincing words, religious and spiritual people just have a hard time dealing with "absolutes". The "religion" of Christianity was founded by Jesus Christ (God in the flesh). Then Jesus goes on to say that he is the ONLY way to the Father (John 14:6), with Peter confirming it in Acts 4:12.
What has happened with Christianity is that "man" has syncretized it. Syncretism is the "attempt" or tendency to reconcile or or combine differing beliefs. The only TRUE God in His omniscience has set Christianity in a realm that makes it "impossible" to be syncretized. How? By making His ways "Absolute". The God of Christianity made it impossible for other gods to join, for other spirits to partake, and for no man to come to Him on other terms.
No I cannot apply any name that suits me. The Name has already been given, and who do we as humans think we have any say so or right to change what God has set up. Yet, make it so obvious as to Who he is, that His Word is true, and His ways unique as to not be mistaken for any other god or higher power. Hallelujah!!
Let Jesus Be Glorified

So are you saying that only Christians know the real God? And all others are worshiping a false God?
