    First of all I'm not sure that what I believe the Spirit of Truth is (to me it is the Holy Spirit) and is what you believe it to be. So to be clear it is the Holy Spirit that has taught me these things through many and diverse means.

    Where I came from it is a well known fact

    that there are seven Spirits of God.

    Has the Holy Spirit taught you of them and told you their names?

    And I beheld, and, lo, in the midst of the throne and of the four beasts, and in the midst of the elders, stood a Lamb as it had been slain, having seven horns and seven eyes, which are the seven Spirits of God sent forth into all the earth.

    Is this the Holy Spirit that you were speaking of that is teaching you now?

    "We exist to lead people into a growing relationship with Jesus Christ"

    Who leads these people who exist to lead people into a growing relationship with Jesus Christ?

    Ah Yes Rev 5:6 I think. I may have it wrong but look at the passage you quoted.
    Lets break it down
    Who is the Lamb that was slain? Jesus. Also note
    Who is at the center of God's throne? Who is encircled by the Seraphim?
    The Lord God. Thus we see the Lamb (Jesus) is co-equal with God because the lamb is standing at the center of the Throne thus he is the Lord God. Lets continue.
    The Lamb's physical attributes 7 horns and eyes are the seven spirits of God. Thus these attributes are Jesus (God's) as he is the lamb who is slain.

    Do you think that it is possible that the Lord could tell me to ask you something that you would just say

    I do not know or that you do not have an explanation for?

    It's absolutely possible. There are many things I don't know or have explanations for. So yes I am certain God could ask you to ask me such a question. However, I may question whether he did or not. Or wonder at what purpose it would serve. Or whether you were accurate in querrying me.

    If I told you that you contradicted your own words with your own words...quite a lot.

    Would you believe me?

    Then he said, I pray thee therefore, father, that thou wouldest send him to my father's house:

    For I have five brethren; that he may testify unto them, lest they also come into this place of torment.

    Abraham saith unto him, They have Moses and the prophets; let them hear them.

    And he said, Nay, father Abraham: but if one went unto them from the dead, they will repent.

    And he said unto him, If they hear not Moses and the prophets, neither will they be persuaded, though one rose from the dead.
