    Gods Voice(Only those who believe that God speaks today)

    Albion, did you miss the thread title here, this thread is for those of us that profess belief that God does still speak, it is clear from your posts elsewhere that you do not profess that belief so please take your commentary elsewhere. Pete from Peterborough UK

    Gods Voice(Only those who believe that God speaks today)

    I have only heard an audible voice on two occassions and on both of those I was alone, so our cynical brethren will question whether I actually heard it or if it was my own imagination, but interestingly on both occassions His words were confirmed either by a preacher shortly after or through my...

    Why do Christians think God talks with them?

    So we are only abe to hear from God in a way that is acceptable to you then, is that your view? Suggesting that I am likely to be deceived is rude and unnecessary, and I shall not join you in decrying a fellow believer, so I am going to leave this debate, as you seem content with your own...

    Why do Christians think God talks with them?

    Yes! Because his children are not complete yet and God is still working to finish the work He began in us! Pete from Peterborough UK

    Why do Christians think God talks with them?

    You continue to focus on the audible voice part of this issue, can I draw your attention to Acts and the conversion of Saul outside of Damascus. According to my understanding (which I accept may be flawed, as it is based upon a reading of the modern translation of a text written many years...

    Why do Christians think God talks with them?

    Do you think God has stopped being involved in His creation then? Surely our good and loving God would want to communicate with us. Why would He remain silent for thousands of years? Pete from Peterborough UK

    Why do Christians think God talks with them?

    Let me pose another question here, what evidence did the first century Christians have that Christ had in fact risen from the dead? Now let me answer that, they had the word of people that had experienced and seen him dead and alive again. But those first believers did not have any empirical...

    Why do Christians think God talks with them?

    I do not know how you test the spirit, but I tend to ponder the words until they are confirmed either by someone I trust or by scripture. How do you test your interpretations of scripture? Pete from Peterborough UK

    Why do Christians think God talks with them?

    I wonder why this forum seems to have issue with people 'hearing' from God? This is the second thread approaching this issue in a similar fashion where the OP possits the question in a way that focuses upon the audible voice of God. To me this is a case of someone asking for clear evidence...

    Why are Christians hated so much?

    I think the issue is really a perception issue. Many people have poor experiences with churches or churchgoers and associate that sort of judgementalism with all Christians. But as we know there are many different types of Christian and some are more Christlike than others. The truth is...

    Let's build my garden!

    Lammchen, we are going to need more information. Where is the plot? What is the topography? Is it sheltered or wind swept? North or south facing? What sort of soil do you have? And finally what sort budget have you got? Pete from Peterborough UK

    Making Plans

    Mmmm this is a lesson I am very much in the midst of, my issue, like so many guys, is that I get part of the plan from God and then believe I know ALL of it and rush on ahead to get it done! I am having to learn that I (we) am called to be a Follower and I cant do that from way out in front...

    Hurricane Irma

    I would imagine that they either do not have a TV to watch right now, or else they are too tired to care! Pete from Peterborough UK

    Expectations

    I suspect that heaven will be life without expectations. In my experience it is often expectations that cause problems because one persons expectation is anothers obligation and obligations are felt as an imposition and unmet expectations cause resentment. For me heaven will be a life without...

    Bears!

    Bears are not as invasive as you may think. My uncles and aunts live in Jasper Alberta and they are more bothered by elk than bears! Pete from Peterborough UK

    Mega

    I think a mega church is not any more a single church than your own church is. Generally they divide into groups based upon some sort of house group or neighbourhood basis, that is where church happens, the weekly worship sessions are no more than performances where the super Pastor personality...

    Osteen's Megachurch denying shelter to hurricane Harvey victims

    Just to try to bring some semblance of balance to this thread, I think we need to recognise that Lakewood Church has in fact suffered flooding too and that it would be considered unsuited as a shelter. I have visited the church some years ago and can say that parts of the building are very low...

    voices that influence us

    Hmmm well I agree with your Pastor's teaching and his categorisation of the 'voices' in our lives. But I have to say that imo it is far from easy to distinguish between God and the masquerading liar that is Satan, especially when your own heart wants to hear what Satan is offering. I have...
