Comparative Religions 101 Guidelines
Welcome to Comp Religions, this is where the sights and sounds of the many world religions come together in a big World's Fair type atmosphere, without those delicious funnel cakes.
World Religions is a theist only type place, but that does not exclude certain religionists who practice non-theistic faiths ala Buddhism. If you are not sure, ask a moderator.
This is not a place where we argue the existence / non-existence of God.
And as usual, the forum rules apply.

You're saying that God doesn't speak from anyone but Himself, but when you're using that language like that all you're doing is begging the question in favor of a unipersonal view of God. If the teaching of the Trinity is true your objection is meaningless, because then one Person (The Spirit) in the Trinity can speak what He hears from the other Persons (the Father and Son) in the Trinity and He is still speaking from God.

The reason you have to ask such a dumb question, is because you cannot accept the Truth of the Holy Spirit, because you don't know Him. He does not live in you.The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.

The answer to your question, if it were based on a legitimate reading of the biblical text, would be the teaching of the Eternal Procession of the Spirit.

In this regard, Jesus saying in Matthew 24:36 "But about that day or hour no one knows, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father" proves the Holy Spirit did not know the hour because Jesus said it is ONLY the Father that knows only the hour and hence the Holy Spirit is not God.Last edited by Same Hakeem; 05-10-2019, 02:41 PM.

Lee"What I pray of you is, to keep your eye upon Him, for that is everything. Do you say, 'How am I to keep my eye on Him?' I reply, keep your eye off everything else, and you will soon see Him. All depends on the eye of faith being kept on Him. How simple it is!" (J.B. Stoney)

Saying "That still does not say that he can't speak on His own authority, only that He doesn't speak on his own authority" is not true because ,for example, God does not lie and hence God cannot lie.
Saying " Jesus here is not literally claiming that the Father is the only one Who knows the hour of the Sons return, but is using imagery from ancient Jewish wedding customs" is not true because if Jesus wanted to say the Holy Spirit knows the hour, Jesus would not have said "but the Father ONLY" in Matthew 24:36.
The Trinity is questioned in light of the fact that Jesus said in Revelation 3:21 "I also conquered and sat down with my Father on his throne" and hence Jesus cannot be God because had Jesus been God, he would not have sat with God the Father; God (Christ if so) cannot be sitting with God the Father.
