Instead of me trying to guess at what you are trying to say, I'm going to ask you to clarify.
So, please could you clarify the above comment?
Sure.
Every single claim that God has said something is made by a human. I.e., a man (or woman) claims to have hears God say something -- whether by an audible voice, or a dream, or a still small voice. Some of those claims were written down thousands of years ago. Some of those written claims are believed by many people today. So when you say "God said xyz", what you really mean is "Someone claimed that God said xyz, and I believe him."
By the way, whether such claims are true or not is irrelevant to my statement. So it you agree with it, it's not an admission that you might be wrong (or more to the point, that the one who made the original claim might be wrong), so there's no reason to disagree, really. (But some will anyway, I expect. )

Last time I checked, the Bible claimed it was written by inspiration of the Holy Ghost.
I.o.w. it's the Word of God.
But of course you will disagree.

OK Timmy... how would YOU like God to communicate to human beings? What would be the preferred method of communication that you would like to see between God and humanity? What would it take for you to believe that God had indeed spoken?

There comes a time in every mortals life when we will all find out. Sadly we won't be able to come back and have anyone write a book about it, or make it into a movie. All proof will be able to be examined on that day. I just hope everyone makes the right life choices for that trip. Won't be any "lol" smiles to post on that day.

So true. We all have a meeting scheduled with our Maker.

You hope you have guessed right, too. So?

When you make life choices they are a process of guess work?
Really.
