Subject: Hereing from God |
Bible Note: Dear Fwiaskycap, people sometimes make claims that they think people cannot refute such as subjective experiences. Its a way of saying hey I am better than you, I had a dream, an experience, an angel talked to me. Or saying God spoke to them audibly is like saying I am smarter than you. I have a higher knowledge than you. Going back to the bible we see that God spoke to very few people audibly. Why should we suddenly believe He would now? Hearing from God in a voice, a dream, an experience is something that is not a common occurance. If you want to discuss passages of the bible which is what this forum is all about then certainly lets do that. Lets look at those passages. But honestly most people are not going to take anyone seriously who epouses these type of claims. If you read the rules of the forum you will see the rules of the forum clearly. Our authority is the bible not ourselves. If you are serious about bible study then why not read the bible on this topic and tell us the names of people God spoke to audibly, then tell us the names of people God spoke to in a voice, and a dream. I really don't know if experience is in the bible. This is serious. Since you have pronounced Brother Doc wrong it is your responsibility to show us the evidence from the bible since this is a bible study forum. Otherwise, people making these claims need to find a different website to talk about their experiences. This is the wrong forum for that and we request you stop. Sincerely, Val |
