Perhaps you can explain.

I'm having a sale today, my two cents worth absolutely free. If you are saying you already accept something like the holy spirit as guiding you morally and in "spiritual knowledge" (whatever that might mean), why would you balk at accepting it as a divining rod for picking out the real McCoy God-inspired verses? When you have this much woo on your hands it seems odd to suggest Frodo might be taking it just a notch to far.

Well I don't believe the holy spirit, but I can understand it bestowing spiritual knowledge from their perspective. What I can't understand is how just words can be known to be true by it. Spiritual knowledge like "it's good to love your neighbours"...I can relate to because the holy spirit is suppose to be like the moral voice in humanity..but just seeing some words and knowing it's from God, I don't understand at all.
