God's voice?
Posted: Sun Jan 09, 2011 3:23 pm
I was just in a converstation with my friend last, night, who's an agnostic, and he brought up something I said to him.
I said that you can hear God in a still-small voice inside of you, that you feel is from your heart...
...but he said it doesn't sound real. After that I couldn't really explain it...
I then began wondering myself "How do you know it's God's voice and not yours?"
I hear people say "Well, put it up against scripture and see." The problem with that is that, couldn't it just be you paraphrasing verses in your head in the first place?
How do you know if it truly is God? And how come it seems like I'm not hearing this voice (it seems like I have to put words in his mouth, or force myself to think of what he would say to me)
