I posted you a whole revelation on guardian angels. Have you read it yet?
No.
No offense intended but I'm just not interested in your revelations. God's Word (Logos) is plenty enough for me, thank you.

The verses all make completely perfect sense to me! They just cannot be used to undermine the very logic that you're using in the attempt!
Why is it that you cannot see that?
I think you do see it, you're just stubbornly resisting the testimony of your own mind.
The two are not mutually exclusive nor is there any need for them to be at odds. What you mean by this is that you are lead around by your emotions. But even at that, you use a faculty of your mind. All decisions whether good or bad are always - always made in the form of a logical argument, even if you aren't trying to be logical. It is always "Ideas X and Y are true, therefore Z". Even decisions made that some would call instinct are so made. "That is food, I am hungry, therefore eat." It's all logic. There is no other means by which your mind works. The only questions are whether the premises of your decision are true and your logic sound.
It's just language and nothing you've quoted from the bible contradicts a syllable of it.
That's because language is not carnal. Language is God's idea. All life on this earth is language based (DNA) as is all of creation, as God spoke creation into existence.
Jesus is Truth! He is also Logic. Same thing!
THERE IS NO WAY TO TELL TRUTH FROM ERROR WITHOUT THE APPLICATION OF SOUND REASON!!!
How would you know if someone, some preacher, was telling you something wrong?
That's a real question. How would you know false doctrine when you heard it? Be specific.

I know what your saying. I have been where your at. And I won't go back. You don't know what I'm saying because you haven't been where I'm at or you wouldn't have gone back.
The Holy Spirit only quotes verses. The verses are a language from the Holy Spirit. One cant learn this language until they have purged their carnality.
John 3:34
34 "For He whom God has sent speaks the words of God, for God does not give the Spirit by measure.
(NKJ)
John 14:26
26 "But the Helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in My name, He will teach you all things, and bring to your remembrance all things that I said to you.
(NKJ)
John 16:13-14
13 "However, when He, the Spirit of truth, has come, He will guide you into all truth; for He will not speak on His own authority, but whatever He hears He will speak; and He will tell you things to come.
14 "He will glorify Me, for He will take of what is Mine and declare it to you.
(NKJ)
1 Cor 14:10-11
10 There are, it may be, so many kinds of languages in the world, and none of them is without significance.
11 Therefore, if I do not know the meaning of the language, I shall be a foreigner to him who speaks, and he who speaks will be a foreigner to me.
(NKJ)
But there are people who God raises up to put certain 2s and 2s together to make the preaching of the Word sharper. Even in Acts we have the example of Apollos without being told or quoted anything he said. Did he just read Scripture to people? No. He taught and preached. His work was entirely validated in the text, yet we have nothing in print--unless you believe he wrote/spoke Hebrews.
The Holy Spirit only quotes verses.

No such thing as guardian angels.
Quite sure. That passage is Messianic. Jesus had guardian angels. It goes well beyond what the text can support to apply such a verse in such a broad sense, especially since we aren't Jews.
Also, there's almost certainly not nearly enough angels in existence for every Christian to have one. Further, since we are in Christ, we don't need them.
Whether he's right or wrong about the issue (and I think his point is a good one, though far from conclusive, since those angels, not being omnipresent, can't be here helping the little ones out of jams if they are always in heaven seeing the face of the Father), he at least had to use logic to decide to use that particular verse for that particular issue, as no verses explain that "If Clete, in the year 2017, tries to reject the existence of guardian angels, thou mayest quote this verse to him." So he is refuting his OP.Matt 18:10
10 "Take heed that you do not despise one of these little ones, for I say to you that in heaven their angels always see the face of My Father who is in heaven.
(NKJ)
Here you go, Clete. If Jesus had guardian angels, as you assert, then your other assertion is false, that there are no guardian angels.
1 point for Squeaky.
But, Squeaky has used "carnal" or "stupid" logic to determine which passages apply to guardian angels.

So he is refuting his OP.
If Squeaky were to claim that the Holy Spirit led him to that verse (which is a legitimate claim), he would then have a NEW revelation from the Holy Spirit, one that is NOT in scripture, which is also refuting his OP.
Game, set, and match to Clete.
That's ok--go think about it for awhile. Try not to be defending your guardian angel proposition, as it's mostly irrelevant.I said
I don't understand your reasoning.
I said
I don't understand your reasoning. I posted a revelation on "Guardian Angels" and I explain for reference I use the term guardian angel. But the fact is we all have an angel that has been with us sense birth. And because it is God who is working in us. And God doesn't speak directly to us. Our guardian angel relays the messages to us inside.

And yes the Holy Spirit gives me the verses. I ask the questions and the Holy Spirit answers me with the verses. I just have to believe Him, which I do.
sure thing, always willing to share logic with someone so open about their own.I said
lol Well thanks for posting your logic here.
your ability to point out those examples requires logic to recognize/identify what can actually be described as an example. how can you say something you use daily is bad in a single situation which allows you to describe who you are to yourself let alone to others?I said
lol Your just full of all kinds of good examples of the OP

You cannot find a verse to prove that "your guardian angel and the devil are the ones where your thoughts come from" because it is not in the Bible!
The things you are saying are your own thoughts, or from the enemy but they are not scriptural. God has blessed us with a mind of our own and most of our thoughts are our own personal thoughts. Yes, we can have thoughts given to us by the enemy and by God but ONLY God can read our mind! Thank God that the enemy cannot read our minds. And it is not our "guardian angel" it is the HOLY SPIRIT who is the COUNCILLOR. The Holy Spirit is the one who councels and guides all believers and is given to every believer at the moment they believe.
John 14:26 - “But the Helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, he will teach you all things and bring to your remembrance all that I have said to you.”
John 16:7 - “Nevertheless, I tell you the truth: it is to your advantage that I go away, for if I do not go away, the Helper will not come to you. But if I go, I will send him to you.”
Romans 8:14 “For all who are led by the Spirit of God are sons of God.”
1 Corinthians 12:13 “For in one Spirit we were all baptized into one body—Jews or Greeks, slaves or free—and all were made to drink of one Spirit”
He does this by our conscience and if we listen to the Holy Spirit we are able to discern what is Godly and what is not.
Romans 9:1 - “ I am speaking the truth in Christ—I am not lying; my conscience bears me witness in the Holy Spirit”
What you say is pretty much we have a cartoon devil on our right shoulder and a cartoon angel on the other and they are both whispering into our ear. This is just not the way the Bible paints the picture, you are getting your ideas from the culture and the world.
You do realize that the devil is not a little red thing with horns and a tail running around with a pitchfork right?
Also you should be VERY CAREFUL when giving your "revelations" you should probably not even use that word at all. If you have a prophesy thats fine if you have been given the gift but all prophesies line up with the word of GOd. if it does not lineup with the word of GOd it is NOT FROM GOD.
In the book of Revelations it clearly gives a warning:
"I warn everyone who hears the words of the prophecy of this book: if anyone adds to them, God will add to that person the plagues described in this book; if anyone takes away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God will take away that person’s share in the tree of life and in the holy city, which are described in this book" Revelations 22:18-19 these are the FINAL WORDS OF GOD
If YOUR revelations do not line up with the Bible they are NOT FROM GOD. And you should be very very careful. If YOUR revelations are adding any EXTRA-BIBLICAL information then YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED BY GOD.

Did God give you that judgment? Because that is carnal judgment. If your judging carnally something I said carnally you could condemn yourself.
Rom 2:1-3
1 Therefore you are inexcusable, O man, whoever you are who judge, for in whatever you judge another you condemn yourself; for you who judge practice the same things.
2 But we know that the judgment of God is according to truth against those who practice such things.
3 And do you think this, O man, you who judge those practicing such things, and doing the same, that you will escape the judgment of God?
