So, anyway, my point is that if God speaks to people (today or in the distant past), nobody can really know for sure if what they think He says to them really is God speaking. Some say are absolutely certain that He does, but they can't be certain. Anyone could be deluded, including those who say they hear reasonable things. But again, nobody who does believe God speaks has any basis to say to someone else that they are wrong, when they've heard something -- even "unreasonable" things. God's ways are not our ways, after all. |
I agree with most of your post, Timmy, but I disagree in that a way has been provided that anyone may know for sure, and not be deluded. I use it all the time, and it is not held out for "believers" only. I don't believe this is given to aid anyone's judgement, but everyone's discernment, meaning that testing is given so that a person may know for themselves.
