God appears to be talking to mankind through discovery; technology; education and science
God the process, the god of Spinoza, yep I'm with you in that sense. But since I haven't been swayed either way yet, did anyone mention through the conscience? You know: even the gentiles though not knowing the law etc.?
(Scootergirl") so aptly said, that is where I am concerning spirituality. Sometimes its like making an inspired book from the renderings of Mark Twain. If its something you want to do and feel good doing it, then by all means do it, the Book of Mormon is a good example of this. Shane
There is no evidence that God is talking in an unambiguous manner to humans. Which is why I don't believe he exists.
It should be pretty easy to tell humans to fill a stadium with down syndrome kids and then cure them. That would be effective communication for an entity you would call "GOD". Short of something like that I don't believe there is such an entity.
As far as the "small voice" in the head - you better increase your medication. Those intuitive flashes you call "god-talk" lead to crazy religions. It makes some people believe they are special/annointed.
If god could make beings with ears and vocal chords - he ought to be able to do a little advertising.
how will "jehovah" dispense his wishes in the new system, i wonder? will he have a big celestial fax machine, or will they use e-mail, or will you just hear this big booming voice while you're outside toiling in the sun burying corpses and digging latrines? interesting to ponder...
I don't think God communicates with humans in this day and age.

He only "communicates" to me if I stop taking my meds... lol

Is this the "deride something I don't understand" approach, that I see before me?
Why how open-minded we've become...
God communicates with me through my Alphabet Cereal. This morning he said: "FOGRDCJKIIOICSERYHJVC"
I got a message the same way,but he said "Oooooooooo!" Of course, I was eating Cheerios
Through trials and events sometimes, it appears to me.
JH,
God speaks to us by means of a Son, whom he has appointed heir of all things and through whom he has made the orders of things. In the past God spoke to us by means of the prophets and also by means of his Son. Today he has chosen to continue to speak by means of his Son who resides in the heavens and he has even made him High Priest and given him all authority in heaven and on earth. He has given to all mankind the capacity and the ability to HEAR the voice of his Son who speaks to us from the heavens.. but it is up to us if we wish to hear it.
If you "want" the Father to communicate with you, you may have it so if you come to him and ask it of him. He will send forth his Son who will open your ears that you may hear the voice of One calling to you, and anything you should ask of him he will tell you. Everything that the Father tells you by means of his Son will be things that are for your true benefit. If you desire it so, he will give you discipline and instruction that you may be able to "hear better" and understand more. The more you understand, the more you grow.. and the stronger your spirit will become. He has offered this 'gift' .. and others.. to all mankind since the days of Adam up to now. If you desire this 'gift'.. and others.. you may have them by asking and going to the One to whom the Father has given all authority in heaven and on earth, his Son. call out to him and he will answer you.
May you have the abundance of peace, both to you and your ENTIRE household.
