This is one of the many reasons there is great dispute in Faith, and thousands of denominations all claiming they have the "Truth".
Men stand up and claim, "God told me", and so people find themselves following an Idea that lives in the Spectral World where proof can't be touched, verified, and deemed valid. We are told, “That’s the Man of God, and touch not mine Anointed”, so fear keeps us in the bay of not questioning such statements.
All Faith's do this. We can pick any one. The Mormons go way out there, into realms and visions that look and sound good and we laugh them off as crazy with False Doctrine. Yet, we do the same thing. We allow men to stand up and say, "God told me" in the Apostolic Church, and because we are committed to our Idea regarding Scripture we give them that liberty.
If you really think about it, telling people that God told you something is probably one of the broadest forms of manipulation on our Planet.
Yeah, but what do ya do when God really does talk to you?
