>It's not blind faith but it takes faith to hear and see what is being conveyed.

Then the assurance isn't faith itself… you're seeing and hearing things!

Either you are truly a holy man or need a psychiatric evaluation.

 

>Be like a child. Intellectuals are too much in their heads imo.

So have blind faith in something representing it/themselves as an authority figure, because they say so, without thinking about it or looking into it, especially via avenues outside the scope of their agenda???

Do you have something better?

 

Because the Ephesians called his ass out and got commended for it in Revelations.

 

"Oh fucking wah! Poor me! The Church in Asia isn't following me! THEY'RE GOING BACK TO CHRIST, THOSE FUCKING BASTARDS!"

Don't you just love having an excuse to not think and be obstinate?

 

One day, I hope that I too can find such an excuse, but as a lowly heathen, I am responsible for my actions and therefore can't get away with it on my own.

Darn.

>I trust the Bible in it's entirety was divinely inspired by the Holy Spirit.

And who convinced you of that?

 

>You seem to think you know better than what the Holy Spirit has allowed.

I go where the Universe sways me.

Also, why would the Holy Spirit intentionally limit someone's knowledge/ability?

That'd be like God hardening someone's heart and then sending them to hell for not believing/having a hard heart.

 

>I will trust the Holy Spirit over man. I suggest you do the same, but you have already declared that you do not.

Yet you're placing your full trust in man regarding the Holy Spirit.

Also, fuck you, I'm the who has the position of not trusting the claims of man, namely Paul!

 

>That is between you and the Holy Spirit not me. May you find peace.

I get what you're saying, but I have a hard time trusting people whose imaginary friend can absolve them of all wrong doing.

I refuse to believe that my actions are inconsequential and I'm not responsible for anything if I hold an idea in my head saying so.

I don't MAKE belief, and if God wanted me to be a child the entire time, then there's no point to any of this experience of growth and understanding.

 

All that is to say… I have peace, and I question yours.

If not because the Bible or someone you deem as an authority told you to, then you believe out of the fear of what would happen to you if you didn't.

That's not peace.

>It's moar of a heart issue and no I don't hear audible voices…

It's the impression that you get?

-cues trumpets-

 

>God speaks to me mostly by images which could be comprehended in any language.

Now is this the hallucination variety or the dream (possibly lucid) variety or the imagination variety?

 

>Also by bringing my attention to something and giving me an internal nudge.

That makes more sense than the others.

 

>Sometimes thru something even an unbeliever happens to say.

It's amazing how often you see the number 23 when it's something you think about on the regular… even when you least expect it!

 

>I don't want to limit God or rather put God in a box on how he choses to speak to anyone.

A book is just a box filled with pages, and in the Bible's case, one that limits how and who He chooses to talk to.

Amazing how God hasn't had anything to say nor do worth writing down in so long, though.

 

>Something to keep in mind… He is good and has good intentions toward you/us.

I thought He was and the Creator of All?

Even the Bible admits that Evil comes from God, whether directly or via non-interventionism.

 

>>12698820

>Most important… spend some time getting to know Him by reading the Bible…

Mmmmm…. shouldn't I get to know God by talking to God as if They are a close friend?

God only talked to folks in the Middle East and just sorta… left everyone else to fend for themselves?

Why not read something like the Zend Avesta?

(I highly suggest you read the Zend Avesta. You'll understand so much more about Christianity than you ever will be reading the Bible over and over.)

 

>Doesn't matter what book, chapter, verse.

Even the brazenly made up stories, such as Esther? What about the works that weren't actually written by Paul?

Some of the letters come to mind.

 

>I met Him reading Ezekiel which most Bible scholars don't recommend… good thing I didn't wait to consult them.

Why would anyone tell you not to read Ezekiel???

Even if he changed from Joe Biden to J. Biden Jr. when he became president of the city-state of dc and its corporation…

 

He wouldn't have split his B like that.
