The holy spirit is not a voice, it is a wordless light within. It shows us right from wrong and shows us when we err.

Wrong again.

The word shows us what is right and what is wrong. The Holy Spirit speaks to us and convicts us when we're wrong but the standard of right and wrong is set forth in Scripture. THAT'S how we can know if we're right or wrong instead of depending on feelings since the heart is deceitful above all else and desperately wicked.

John 16:13-15 When the Spirit of truth comes, he will guide you into all the truth, for he will not speak on his own authority, but whatever he hears he will speak, and he will declare to you the things that are to come. He will glorify me, for he will take what is mine and declare it to you. All that the Father has is mine; therefore I said that he will take what is mine and declare it to you.

The word is what shows us right from wrong.

Psalm 119:9-16 How can a young man keep his way pure? By guarding it according to your word. With my whole heart I seek you; let me not wander from your commandments! I have stored up your word in my heart, that I might not sin against you. Blessed are you, O Lord; teach me your statutes! With my lips I declare all the rules of your mouth. In the way of your testimonies I delight as much as in all riches. I will meditate on your precepts and fix my eyes on your ways. I will delight in your statutes; I will not forget your word.

John 17:17 Sanctify them in the truth; your word is truth.

It is a blessing and has transformed my life totally. Thank God!

*It*? The Holy Spirit is an *it* to you?

Is the Holy Spirit God or not? And if not, what is it?

you don’t even really understand the Scriptures that you quote. The word, often is a metaphor for spirit of God and Jesus. You cult members really are not so bright, sadly.
