John 14:26 But the Comforter, which is the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will
send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your
remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you.
John 15:26 But when the Comforter is come, whom I will send unto you from the
Father, even the Spirit of truth, which proceedeth from the Father, he shall
testify of me:
If any other man claims he is the true " Menachem/the comforter " he is a Liar ,
according to the biblical scriptures. We have one advocate ,to speak on our
behave, to Father YHVH, for our sins . The Hebrev Messiah, is the one an only.
John 14:6 " Yahushua saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no
man cometh unto the Father, but by me."
COMFORTER [International Standard Bible Encyclopedia]
kum'-fer-ter:
This is translation of the word patakletos, in the Johannine writings. In the
Gospel it occurs in John 14:16,26; 15:26; 16:7, and refers to the Holy Spirit.
The word means literally, "called to one's side" for help.
The translation "Comforter" covers only a small part of the meaning as shown in
the context. The word "Helper" would be a more adequate translation. The Spirit
does a great deal for disciples besides comforting them,
although to comfort was a part of His work for them.
The Spirit guides into truth; indeed, He is called the Spirit of truth.
He teaches and quickens the memory of disciples and glorifies Christ in them.
He also has a work to do in the hearts of unbelievers, convicting the world of
sin, of righteousness, and of judgment (John 14 through John 16).
The Comforter remains permanently with disciples after He comes in response to
the prayers of Christ.
The word parakletos does not occur elsewhere in the Scriptures except in 1 John
2:1.
In Job 16:2 the active form of the word (parakletos is passive) is found in the
plural, where Job calls his friends "miserable comforters." The word "Comforter"
being an inadequate, and the word "Helper" a too indefinite, translation of the
word in the Gospel of John, it would probably be best to transfer the Greek word
into English in so far as it relates to the Holy Spirit .
In 1 John 2:1 the word parakletos refers to Christ:
"If any man sin, we have an Advocate with the Father, Christ the righteous."
Here the translation Advocate is quite correct. As the next verse shows the
writer has in mind the intercession of Christ for Christians on the basis of His
mediatorial work:
"And he is the propitiation for our sins; and not for ours only, but also for
the whole world" (1 John 2:2).

(Gr. para/klhtov) , one who pleads another's cause, who helps another by
defending or comforting him. It is a name given by Christ three times to the
Holy Ghost (John 14:16; 15:26; 16:7, where the Greek word is rendered
"Comforter," q.v.). It is applied to Christ in 1 John 2:1, where the same Greek
word is rendered "Advocate," the rendering which it should have in all the
places where it occurs.
