So you claim to have been present during Christ's discourse to His disciples following the last supper? Who's really the liar.

I know you don't have the bible so here is what it says:

We have the original unabridged edition, unlike you and your comrades.

You'd be well served to heed the words of St. Peter: 2 Peter 3:16 "As also in all his epistles, speaking in them of these things; in which are certain things hard to be understood, which the unlearned and unstable wrest, as they do also the other scriptures, to their own destruction."

"It is good to speak for God, but it is better to purify oneself for God."

I can't recall who said this....

Better for you to call me a liar out of ignorance than for you to call Jesus Christ one.

We speak the wisdom of God in a mystery, even the hidden wisdom, which God ordained before the world unto our glory, but as it is written, eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither entered into the heart of man, the things which God has prepared for them that love Him. But God has revealed them unto us by his Spirit: for the Spirit searches all things, yes, even the deep things of God. Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the Spirit which is of God, that we might know the things that are freely given to us of God. Which things also we speak, not in the words which man's wisdom teaches. but which the Holy Ghost teaches, comparing spiritual things with spiritual. We have the mind of Christ.

Now concerning spiritual gifts, brethren, I would not have you ignorant. Now there are diversities of gifts, but the same Spirit. But if any man be ignorant, let him be ignorant. Wherefore brethren, covet to prophesy.

We are to be aware of the gifts of the Holy Spirit and are not return the talent without interest, at the least.
