Thanks. George.
That was such a sad situation. We do need to ''Weigh'' all
things seemingly ''Spirit'' or natural.
I was getting out a small tree's roots to add a new tree two
foot away, a couple of days ago.
I was conscience of the Holy Spirit being there with me.
I am artistic & no DIY wiss. I worked at it unusually
systematically through the wet clay.
Would there be an other root going straight down just to
frustrate me.?
Would the root I was chopping go through easily?
Would I be strong enough to move it?
I just felt an unusual confidence.
I haven't had this experience before with no ''Spiritual''
purpose in what I was doing.
I hope this make sense.
I agree in what has been said before that God speaks to all all
the time as we tune in to Him or He chooses to make Himself
known.

Quote from George:- I don't believe that anyone hears a voice
whether it be in there heads in there dreams or in physical
form.....
George having said that you do not believe and that you are not
looking to have your belief changed and that anyone who says
they do hear is on the verge of mental instability WHY would you
expect an answer from anyone who actually does hear from God?
The bible makes it clear we are not to put before those who will
rend the truth, those things that are the pearls of the kingdom.
Bless you George with an intervention from God such as the man
Saul had on the Damascus road.

I honestly wasn't expecting for anyone to say they hear
voices... If they did I would have expected scripture that shows
that God says when we listen we will hear his voice...Only
scripture that comes to my mind is "Be still and know that I am
God"... I cant think of one where God says anything about us
hearing his voice

I made this statement so that anyone who chose to reply would
speak from there heart and not in a manner of trying to persuade
me or convert me into there thought process... I wanted to hear
some things from the heart, supported by scripture, what I
didn't want was a bunch of short sermons... Anyhow its
irrelevant

And to clarify I said nothing of the sort!!! What I said was I
think anyone hearing voices is not of a strong mind... I didn't
say anyone was on the verge of mental instability!!!
Please don't twist my words to make me sound as if I am trying
to insult people... If you were insulted, that is how you took
it... NOT WHAT I SAID THOUGH!!!

Now George I hope you were not trying to scare me with your big
letters.
Yes George, the truth is that is what you said but not in those
words.
What you said was that anyone who claims to hear the voice of
God is not of a strong mind and you then went on to say that
such people were acceptable to many voices( I think you meant
susceptible to many voices) and that there were many instances
of people who have committed murders based on the fact they
heard from God to kill
George I would call killing someone because you said God told
you to was without doubt mental instability. I am sure by
mentioning the murders you were showing the path a person was on
if they claimed to hear from God.
Still no matter George since it looks as if you might have lost
interest as you say it is now irrelevant.
George I was not insulted. In my opinion I just gave an honest
reply to what you had written, the fact that you do or do not
believe that a living person can hear the voice of God is, as
you say, irrelevant.
As I said before I pray you have the blessing of a Damascus road
experience.
James

Actually I myself was insulted. That's why I didn't reply after
I read the OP.
I don't believe that God ever tells us to do something we cannot
do.
Many , many times in the OT He said " Hear My voice" Harken to
My word. Attend to Me. Why say that if He doesn't have a voice
or speaks?
Noah heard, and built the ark. Abraham heard, and took his only
son up the mountain.
Elijah heard.."and went to the brook.." etc
In the New T. Jesus says- " My sheep HEAR MY VOICE..."
I have heard, and I do hear the voice of the Lord. ...In many
different ways.

P.S.
And...for a "Global Moderator" to shout at someone with font
sized 38, I think is pretty bad behaviour!!

[/quote]
I think for people to quote others yet change words is poor
practice... Again you took it as I'm shouting because I used a
large font... I thought shouting was using all caps... Large
font is so that it is seen clearly that that was not my words!!!
Moderator status can be changed... I'm not going to let anyone
put words in my mouth whether I am a moderator or not, I should
have the same rights as you, and I'm sure you wouldn't
appreciate it either... If someone didn't understand what I
meant they could ask, not assume and make there own statements
and credit them to me or say that I said it...

Scare you??? Not at all!!! It was to make it clear you changed

Yes George, the truth is that is what you said but not in those

[/quote]
That is how you read it... I said someone hearing voices is not
of a strong mind... Meaning they are easily persuaded to believe
things that may not be true... Nothing with being on the verge
of mental instability

[/quote]
I gave an example of when people claim to hear a voice when we
know they are wrong... nothing to do with anyone who claims to
hear Gods voice is going to kill people... The part about
susceptible to hearing many voices is true I said that and stand
by that...

This is a ridiculous statement!!! For correction you ASSUMED
that is what I was meaning... But you are not SURE, there is no
way you could be because you got it wrong...

Glad you were not insulted... Maybe next time clarify if what
you think I mean is actually what I mean with questions rather
than assume you know what I mean and reword my statement when
quoting me...
