The Holy Spirit! Take it? or Leave it? – With A Free Will To Choose
With a Spirit of Truth
-Be Well, in love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and Self-Control
Luke 5:31
31 And Jesus answering said unto them, They that are whole need not a physician; but they that are sick.
out-of-control, unkind, unfaithful, iniquitous, cruel, impatient, create war, sadness, and hate.-
Without a Spirit of Truth.
The Spirit Of Truth
It would have helped the World earlier on if it obtained a bit more love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and Self-Control in behavior. It could have helped to pacify many of its historic tragedies which were out-of-control, unkind, unfaithful, iniquitous, cruel, impatience’s, filled with war, sadness, and hate.
As it can be seen from Earths past, and current affairs, this world seems to be with out a Spirit of Truth, and on its present course, it may need to see a Doctor, it definitely seems to be in its troubles, and could rightly be its own demise if it doesn’t see a Physician.
The Natural Person
It is perceived, by many that the Natural Person (without a spirit of truth) does not accept the things of the Spirit of a God, it is absurdity to them, and it is claimed they are unable to understand them because they are said to be spiritually discerned, unable to perceive, or just don’t want to recognize, or desire a spirit of truth of any kind.
Born In The Spirit
Those Born in the Spirit, are said to be Born Again with what is known as a Holy Spirit, and are no longer believed to be a Natural Person, because their bodies are said too then be temples of a Holy Spirit, receiving power from the Holy Spirit, who is in them, whom they have received from that God. Those Born in the Spirit are not their own, but of that God. Those Born in the Spirit are said blow as the wind blows wherever it pleases, with the sound of the wind being heard, but where it comes from or where it is going is the mystery. So it is with everyone born of that Spirit living life by love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and Self-Control, removed from being out-of-control, unkind, unfaithful, iniquitous, cruel, impatient, causing war, sadness, and hate.
Those that are said received the Holy Spirit would claim their God dwells in them, and they walk not according to the flesh (without a spirit of truth) but according to the Spirit. and since it’s said that their God is Spirit, to worship that God, a Natural Person must also be of spirit, to worship in that Spirit of Truth. This is said can only be done if a Natural Person, through the washing of regeneration, and renewal of the Holy Spirit be Born Again, going from being that Natural Person, to being the Spiritual Person, received into the Spirit of adoption, as sons or daughters, of that God.
Born Again
The entity of the Holy Spirit, the latter in the Trinity, can either be bestowed, or given to anyone that asks that God, and when given this Spirit, a person is said to be Born in the Spirit, or Born Again. Those who are Born Again believe they are of the Spirit of Truth, and walk not according to the flesh (without a spirit of truth) but according to the Spirit, and through the Spirit walk by faith, love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and Self-Control which is received upon adoption; Those Born Again then eagerly wait for the hope of righteousness, while having to live in a world believed to be constructed, and control by those classified as the flesh, (earthling) or Natural Persons, those that are said live without a spirit of truth, living life out-of-control, being unkind, without faith, living in iniquity, cruelty, impatience’s, creating war, sadness, and hate.
Opposition Against The Spirit
Since the desires of the Natural Person are said to be against the Spirit, and the desires of the Spirit are against the desires of the Natural Person, these are opposed to each other. The desires of the Natural Person, tends to keep those who may benefit from a spirit of truth, from doing what they really need to do in order to obtain that love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and Self-Control that may be found in life, but is not easily acquired due to the actions of those classified as the Natural Person.
How Un-True Is This World
Those who live according to the flesh (without truth) who appear to be out-of-control, unkind, with no faithfulness, living in iniquity, cruelty, impatience’s, creating war, sadness, and hate, have their minds set on what the Self desires; but those who live in accordance with the Spirit have their minds set on what the Spirit desires, love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and Self-Control. To set the mind on the flesh (without truth) is said leads to death, or on the lighter side, to troubles. To set the mind on the Spirit is claimed to be life and peace, living according to the Spirit which is said to be love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control.
Some Need a Doctor
The Spirit of Truth is said helps those Born Again in their weakness, helping them overcome the dealings of the world that is not of a spirit of truth. Those Born Again or that have received the Holy Spirit search their hearts in prayer to find out what is the mind of the Spirit, because the Spirit intercedes for them according to the will of that God, but through wordless groans, presumably because the world is out-of-control, unkind, secretes unfaithfulness, causes iniquity, cruelty, impatience’s, creates war, sadness, and hate, it seriously lacks in love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and Self-Control, and seems in dire need of a Physician.
Why not Just Give the World the Spirit
If that God’s love, or Spirit had just been poured into the hearts of all men through the Holy Spirit, instead of just those that ask for that Spirit, this Planet would be a Grand Reality; but it’s not, due to Free Will Of Choice.
Into The Union
When it comes to their God, and receiving the Spirit, this is a Commitment into a Union, and IS SOMETHING THAT SHOULD NOT BE TAKEN lightly. It needs to be a persons choice to join with that Deity Of The Israelites, or another, and receive that Spirit of Truth. The Natural Person, or person must first be Fully Educated in All the Matters of that God before a choice can be made. The choice needs to be a free choice, not a forced choice. A relationship does not work productively when someone is forced to be in it, regardless of what security, or gifts it may bring in this world, or the hereafter.
Conclusion
Verdict
Even if a Individual does not wish to receive what is known as the Holy Spirit, given by a God, and committing to that Union, being Born again through the washing of regeneration, and renewal of a Holy Spirit, this does not mean that people are unable to obtain the practices of love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and Self-Control through other sources of education… Where a Individual gets that understanding, and lives by those qualities doesn’t matter; what matters is, that Individual doesn’t need a Physician, and shouldn’t be characterized as what is seen as that Natural Person documented in the Biblical text.
Those that already practice love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and Self-Control in life are not…

likeness of sinful flesh and for sin, he condemned sin in the flesh, in order that the
righteous requirement of the law might be fulfilled in us, who walk not according to the
