That's right Midget-Sasquatch.

(Kinda reminds me of "Uma Thurman." )

Now I understand ! . . . Due to the fact that there is so much sarcasm ( the wit of the witless ) on this board, people have a difficult time relating. Let's bump it a little everyone, whatta' say ?

"Today, there are no prophets".

Maybe there were not any prophets 6000 years ago. either ... .but nobody had yet coined the term "paranoid schizophrenic".

In the past, God spoke to humans through Angels, prophets, and Jesus.

Today, there are no prophets, angels don't show up anymore, and Jesus isn't there to speak to us.

We can talk to God through prayer, but how does God talk to us?

So, other than the bible which is pretty outdated, how can God communicate with humans?

It looks to me like you know how God speaks today. You just don't want to listen!

when my grandmother died I wanted to send the best flowers . I prayed and told God how i wish I could send beautiful flowers. I sent the cheapest but members of the family called and told me a blanket of red roses came from me and they put over her casket and was buried with her. I was in awe. If that wasnt God how did it happen? I was scared because I thought I would get a bill for flowers that I could not afford. Never heard a word.

Dear Frankie,

Not everyone wants to hear from God. It is not meant to be judgmental when it is said that mankind, as a whole, does not want to hear God. It is the truth. Man doesn't wish to hear him. It is for this reason and others, that God who respects their "wish" does not speak to them. however, to any who do want to hear, he speaks to them.

Mankind as a whole likes to be left alone to do what they want to do.. this is why they do not want to hear God. If you find this offensive or judgmental, rather than allowing yourself to get offended.. ask mankind for yourself. Ask people what it is they want in life.. why are they doing what they are doing. Ask them why is it that although they know the "right" thing to do.. they prefer to do what feels good. Ask them, and they will tell you. And for the reasons they give you, are also the reasons they do not wish to hear from God. Everyone has their reasons and if you listen to what people say and see what they do, you can begin to "see" what some of those reasons are. God understands this and he loves them, and so for this reason.. and others.. he doesn't speak to them.

When I see the sun breaking through the clouds, and it casts rays down in all kinds of patterns. When I see a baby. When I look up at a clear night sky and can't at all fathom what I see before me, it leaves me in awe and wonder.

That may sound simplistic, but that's how it happens for me. God leaves the rest up to me.

Beautifully said. Thank you!
