Billy Graham says Christians Don't Actually Hear the Voice of God

    But if you do subscribe to Christianity, then you should know that God (or the Lord or His messenger, call it whatever) doesn't make sure you feed the dog and mail your packages. While those might be highly important things to you, I would hope God is telling some drunk heathen atheist not to swerve and kill that grandmother with his Buick.

    OT:

    Just so you know, OT, I do not subscribe to Christianity. I hope that is made plain and clear to you here. To use your word, I “subscribe” to Jah’s Son, the Christ. Quite a different thing from Christianity. Okay?

    If I read your post correctly, you say that “God . . . doesn’t make sure [I] feed the dog or mail [my] packages.” Do I understand that correctly? In THAT post, OT, I stated that the Voice said to me to remove the headphones because my wife was going to say something to me. Is that clear? The Voice told me to listen to my wife—regardless of what she was going to say. Is that clear? It was my wife who was concerned about ‘feeding the dog’ and about the ‘mailing of a package.’

    Incidentally, just so YOU know, Jah is concerned about the feeding and care of animals. Did you not know this? Is the care of animals less important than the care for people? Seriously? There is ‘no superiority of man over the beast,’ OT. Do you not know this? ‘All have the same spirit.’ The care for animals is just as important as care for humans, OT. I am perplexed that you seem not to know this fact and use such interest in caring for animals to denigrate me and/or my wife and especially my God and his Christ.

    But, oh well . . .

    And as for your last comment:

    I would hope God is telling some drunk heathen atheist not to swerve and kill that grandmother with his Buick.

    God has said so. (Shaking my head in disbelief of you. . . .)

    the word "ignorant" is thrown around here more than "jehovah', LOL !

    The good news? Ignorance need only be a temporary condition.

    The bad news? You can lead a horse to the water. . .

    SBC: Question: How do you know you aren't hearing Allah's voice?

    Answer: Because you don't live in a Muslim-predominant country. (Edit)

    Cuz Allah doesn't speak English.

    It's not "bad" unless it's necessary for a Christian to be concerned with "correct belief". Some of the larger groups are most definitely concerned with correct belief. Indeed, not having the correct belief equals eternal damnation to them.

    Granted, this is true and this is hwo organizations control their flock.

    Lets look at Paul and Peter in Acts.

    Paul preached that gentiles and jews were the "same" under God in the NEW convenant, no snipping of the schlong required.

    Peter and many didn't agree, but Paul convinces them otherwise,, right?

    Well, this was AFTER Peter has laready been told by Jesus to acceptable ALL including the gentiles ACTS 10: 9-22.

    In Peter's letter he mentions that some of the things Paul teaches are hard to understand, he was of saying he doesn't agree with them 100% probably but oen thing is for sure, they didn't always see eye-to-eye and this was between two 1st generation guys, one a direct disciple of the Christ while he was alive and preaching, the other a direct convert of the risen and ressurected Christ.

    Xch: Cuz Allah doesn't speak English.

    Dang. Good point.

    Okay, what if Allah's chief adversary speaks english and he's pretending to be the Judeo-Christian god to mislead people who hear his voice??? Oooh. The plot thickens.
