You have no idea what the Holy Spirit teaches. If you did you would be seeking to be holy instead of advocating the sexual sin of homosexuality and the mental illness of transgender. It is simply evil to encourage people in such things.

You're right. After a lifetime of hearing about it, I still have no idea "what the Holy Spirit teaches", nor do I care.
If you understood chemistry and physics and geology and meteorology, you would be seeking to be smarter about science. It is simply evil to pretend that magic (aka wishful thinking) is more important than reality.
Who cares what some goat herders who lived thousands of years ago thought they heard from an imaginary ghost?
Casper told me to be friends with people who are different from you, and at least you can see him on TV.
In the Christian tradition, the Paraclete dwells within the body - in the naos, or temple - of every Believer as counsellor and comforter in times of need; as teacher and guide otherwise. Beyond that, the Holy Spirit is an elusive figure in scripture (albeit one wìth immense power).
This would be a deeply personal relationship, and little is said in the Bible about its nature.
For Martin to make any claim to know what the Holy Spirit teaches other people is shockingly arrogant.
A good teacher can back up what they teach with reasoning and evidence. If your maths teacher says 2 + 2 = 5, you should challenge them to explain why. I have seen no reasoning why homosexuality or being transgender is bad beyond 'God says so'. If he'll tell me why, perhaps I'll start to listen.
I know it's considered an unpardonable sin to reject the Holy Spirit...however, I can easily reject you and your bigotry. And I advocate for my fellow Homo Sapiens, I encourage them to be the best, that they see themselves to be.
It's being a sanctimonious bigot that's evil.
No, I have no idea what that "Holy Spirit" of yours teaches. I'm even doubtful that it exists, at all. Do you have any idea what Illyria teaches?

I don't "advocate" homosexuality or transgender, I just acknowledge that homosexual people and transgender people exist, just as I acknowledge that tall people exist and that green-eyed people exist. Is it also evil to encourage people in tallness and green-eyedness? They are all just born like that; they have no say in how they turned out. IF your god created us, HE created homosexuality and transgender people too. HE is to blame, not his "products".
Confused?
