** I would liked to ask that if you want to say Holy spirit please first read the whole text
1-John chapter 14 verse 16:
"And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you "another" Comforter, that he may abide with you forever."
2-Gospel of John chapter 15 verse 26:
"But when the Comforter is come, whom I will send unto you from the Father, even the Spirit of truth, which
proceedeth from the Father, he shall testify of me"
3-Gospel of John chapter 16 verse 7:
"Nevertheless I tell you the truth; it is expedient for you that I go away: for if I go not away, the Comforter will not
come unto you; but if I depart, I will send him unto you".
**Some Christians say that the Comforter mentioned in these prophecies refers to the Holy Sprit. but
the prophecy clearly says that only if Jesus (pbuh) departs will the Comforter come. The Bible states that the
Holy Spirit was already present on earth before and during the time of Jesus (pbuh), in the womb of Elizabeth, and again when Jesus (pbuh) was being baptised, etc.
whereas the Bible says "....for if I go not away, the Comforter will not" so the comforter WILL NOT COME even just temporarily when Jesus is on earth
So according to 3-Gospel of John chapter 16 verse 7, the comforter cant be Holy Spirit .
***********************
Gospel of John chapter 16 verse 12-14:
"I have yet many things to say unto you, but ye cannot bear them now. Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth is
come, he will guide you unto 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. He shall glorify me".
and this was exactly the way that the Holy quran was revealed to prophet mohammad he used to just repeat what was
revaled to him , and he did not add or delete any words from it.
any ways this was my interpretation of these verses and I did not want to disrespect others.
peace to you all
