The Holy Spirit

Contributed by Byron Perrine on Jul 9, 2019

The importance of the role of the Holy Spirit is extolled as an additional and vital empirical tool. Empiricism limited to only perception through sight, sound, smell, taste and touch falls short of the epistemological opportunities afforded us by God.
