God speaks, the bible can only be read, it has no voice. I've been wating to make this point for a long time, this seems like a good time to do it.

The bible is only as clear as one's interpretation of it. The bibles we read are just the interpretation of a group of men that translated it into our language.

I said well we must not have the same "God" because that is not what he is saying to me. I am very suspicious of anyone who says, "God told me..." I have been sharpening my discernment skills ever since. There are a lot of misguided manipulators out there... Very scary.

Even jokingly I get into a crouching tiger position when talking about stuff like "hearing from God" and "reading the Bible" comes up. I’m glad this satirical.

Was that a Night at the Museum 2 reference?<br /><br />You forget the H card... calling something "Heresy" in your most sappy "Humble" tone... and then throwing the H-B combo by saying "that's just what I get when I read my Bible."<br /><br />We had the author of the Shack at my church... he has enough H cards to supply flash card companies until the end of time, or until the new preschool iPhone teaches you the alphabet and how to pee.

You forget the H card… calling something “Heresy” in your most sappy “Humble” tone… and then throwing the H-B combo by saying “that’s just what I get when I read my Bible.”

When I'm unsettled about something in life it's often because I'm actually doing what God wants me to do. It's really the enemy trying to cast doubts.
