Why would God do nothing but quote the Bible to people? Can't He do whatever He wants? Couldn't He tell me "Brother Larry is da man!" if He wanted to?
No Timmy, God could not tell you that because He cannot tell a lie.
Timmy, I know you sometimes try to patronize me, but I don't care. I don't care if some pastor doesn't want me to preach for him. I'm so "out there", few even understand what I'm saying. I think you are taking my words a little too literally, when you said, "...quote the Bible". I mean't that what God says in spiritual voice, will always agree with scripture.

Yes, actually I figured that's what you meant to say. Didn't mean to patronize, sorry.
Even so, I don't think what you said goes far enough. It may be a valid way of disposing of some false messages, the ones that don't agree with scripture, but what if a message does agree? It still didn't necessarily come from God, in the sense that God, right then, spoke something to you. Or does it even matter?

No problem, Bro. I'm not offended. I love ya anyway. I think I'm beginning to understand your writing style. You use satire and sarcasm as literary devices. Early on, I was a bit agitated by your posts, but not anymore.

Timmy, you continue to amaze me with your insight. Do you intentionally mask it with your writing style, so that you don't come across as a "known-it-all"... like.....uh...say...B/L?

Timmy if you have the Holy Ghost your spirit will recognize the "spirit" of the prophecy to be true or not. What we can a "witness" of the spirit.
Hope that helps.

Well common sense will tell you if it is off the wall nonesense. But sometimes you are told something that has a little true and lie mixed in together.
Timmy have you ever felt what we term a "witness" of the Holy Ghost?
If not, you most likely won't understand what I'm saying.
