The Spirit of Truth

[Clovis]

In John near the end, Christ mentions His ‘Helper’ or sometimes translated, the spirit of truth, this is interesting considering when He is talking to the woman at the well, he says The Father wishes to be worshiped in spirit and truth. Is the Holy Spirit necessarily The Helper; After all they are mentioned in different areas with different titles? Christ says The Helper doesn’t act on his own authority, but will serve Christ and lead us closer to God. I wonder if it is the Holy Spirit or if it is something else which will come later, perhaps during the end times; after all, the world’s various views of God are confusing, and if the Helper were around, maybe it wouldn’t be as confusing.

You asked this in another thread. The answer is that the Helper is The Holy Spirit. It is very clear in Scripture.

DR Bible
John 14:26 26 But the Paraclete, the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he will teach you all things, and bring all things to your mind, whatsoever I shall have said to you.

NAB
John 14:26 26
**The Advocate, the Holy Spirit **that the Father will send in my name–he will teach you everything and remind you of all that (I) told you.

thistle thank you, I sometimes get confused over things, probably from over-analysis or something.
