Bible Note: You wrote: "languistically spoken words are a very POOR way to communicate in the first place" And yet it is the way God ordained to preserve His revelation for His people.... You also wrote: "Anyway, when we communicate with Him, he understands us even without words because when he made us he installed a communications link - ....your soul..." According to the Bible, it is not our souls that are the "communications link." It is God Himself, the Holy Spirit: "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 said to you." --John 14:26 "In the same way the Spirit also helps our weakness; for we do not know how to pray as we should, but the Spirit Himself intercedes for us with groanings too deep for words; and He who searches the hearts knows what the mind of the Spirit is, because He intercedes for the saints according to the will of God." --Romans 8:26-27 "Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the Spirit who is from God, so that we may know the things freely given to us by God, which things we also speak, not in words taught by human wisdom, but in those taught by the Spirit, combining spiritual thoughts with spiritual words." --1 Corinthians 2:12-13 --Joe! |
