I would expect the God of the Bible to speak to me in 17th century William Shakespearian English.
Are you expecting God to use words? Why not try pictures?Only if God tells me to. So far He has never said anything to me.
No. I'm not expecting anything.Are you expecting God to use words?
I'm not expecting that either. That would be ridiculous though. Humans communicate with words, not pictures.Why not try pictures?
I see lots of inanimate objects that do not give me instructions. I see other living materials that do not give me instructions. I see some humans that actually do give me instructions. I see no gods. I'm not saying God has given me this day but if He has, there are no strings attached that I have been made aware.Step into the day God has given to you, and what do you see before you?
Not all of us. I wasn't given those instructions.We were given the simple directions to put God or goodness first, and to love all those around you.
Then Christ's words were accurate when he said, "It is finished." Let's close up shop and stop discussing religion.Perhaps you are thinking, "I am a decent human being, so I already do that." Great, then you heard God.
Yes. I could do those things.Then the daily words are, Can goodness be given an even higher priority, and can I love those around me even more?
This is vague and broad. I encounter lots of things. Mostly bad but still lots of good.What presents itself to you as you walk through your day?
You are going to like my answer and use it as proof that God is speaking to me. My spirit wants to respond with the most intense humility as I can possibly muster. I don't want any negative encounter with another human to phase me or rile me up. I'd love to have the capacity to ignore all negativity directed towards me and just reap benefit after benefit much like a wild bird does. They find feed, they eat it. If another animal scolds them or humiliates them, they fly away, come back later to the same spot, or find food elsewhere. My spirit craves that kind of humility/superiority/strength. You'll like this comment too. The Bible says the flesh is weak but the spirit is willing. My flesh wants to destroy and humiliate those who humiliate me. That's usually what happens. My spirit wants to ignore them.How does your spirit want you to respond to these opportunities?
If so then the complexity of my existence is already orchestrated by God. The outcome is the same. Ignore religious nuts who want to impose thoughts, or actions upon me against my will.Perhaps envisioning God sitting down and speaking to you over coffee and donuts is too limiting for God, so he paints you pictures (pictures being worth a thousand word) throughout the entire day.
Any hallucination will do!Are you expecting God to use words? Why not try pictures?
The LORD is my shepherd; there is nothing I lack. In green pastures he makes me lie down; to still waters he leads me; he restores my soul. He guides me along right paths for the sake of his name. Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for you are with me; your rod and your staff comfort me. You set a table before me in front of my enemies; You anoint my head with oil; my cup overflows. Indeed, goodness and mercy will pursue me all the days of my life; I will dwell in the house of the LORD for endless days.oh,
you really do, outdue yourself ... do your shoes stay dry when walking on water.

Leave it to you to dismiss that every civilization has overwhelmingly believed in a higher power than man and not associate that with functional advantage.Nah, that's false. There are a lot of people on the planet. This is the year 2024, not 1500.
But stay tuned. With the proliferation of nukes, religion still has time to end society as we know it.
Many things. I don't believe you need God to try to manipulate other people. You are doing just fine on your own.Me too but if God talks to me I will never use it to manipulate other people. I'll just do what I am told by the big fellow. What did God tell you to do?
Yes, I got it from the Slidell Seminary School.I am highly impressed. You have a Bible?
I have chosen the better portion and it will not be taken from me.When did you get a Bible? I have been here for years and this is only the second time I have seen you quote the Bible. In the past you have always avoided quoting the Bible like the plaque. Both times I seen you quote the Bible has been in the last few days.
It might be the case that we cease to exist after bodily death, but that's not necessarily true. Before you and I were born physically, we never experienced consciousness, or thought any thoughts. Perhaps the fact that we are alive now and thinking thoughts, makes the difference between our non-existence before we entered into this living condition and the condition we will be in after our physical, biological bodies breakdown and die. We spent years thinking and perhaps making an impression upon the universe, which we didn't make before we became sentient, conscious beings. Perhaps in this lifetime our brains, this biological organism, generates another body, that continues to exist after biological death.The same experiece as before you were born.
For example, one could ask what it was like to wake up after never having gone to sleep just as logically as they can ask what it is like to go to sleep and to never wake up.
Prove the forgeries. You can’t. Therefore, it’s bearing false witness.- that is you c-bear, where is the appendix to their book and the preserved actual documents used to write the christian bible - a book of forgeries and fallacies on nearly every page.
provide the stone tablets claimed by the liar moses etched in the heavens w/ 10 commandments - that never existed.
where are the documents written by jesus in their own hand, the religion of antiquity they taught - liberation theology, self determination.
I didn't do that. Without your pathetic strawmen, you wouldn't have much to say.Leave it to you to dismiss that every civilization has overwhelmingly believed in a higher power than man and not associate that with functional advantage.
Great then you agree that that occurred because belief in a higher power offered a functional advantage that non-belief could not offer.I didn't do that. Without your pathetic strawmen, you wouldn't have much to say.

Your reasoning doesn’t exist. It’s sad. No proof.you're a multifaceted loser c-bear ... take it up w/ the jews - good luck.
Revelation 9: 6 And in those days people will seek death and will not find it. They will long to die, but death will flee from them.
Where Does the Soul Go After We Die?
My husband and I disagree about where our souls go after we die. I believe that you are judged right away and that if you are found worthy your soul w...www.catholiceducation.org
This site sounds pretty Catholic so far, meaning it is not Francis-esque (alleged-pope reference)
There is no proofs in the spiritual realm as proof relies on physical evidence and God is spirit, Spirit and Truth. If one wishes to seek and find God, it is simply logical to search for him in spirit and truth, instead of seeking audible sounds in the physical world.You are going to like my answer and use it as proof that God is speaking to me.
