How Do You Know God Is Talking To You? by zarazara: 2:12am On Aug 28, 2008
How do you know God is talking to you? I am just wondering how we all hear from God,

Which god?
Re: How Do You Know God Is Talking To You? by madamkoko: 2:38pm On Aug 28, 2008
I call it madness. A jobless man once told me, that god told him to start a church in Nigeria.

I asked him the same question: how do you know it is god speaking with you and he said "I just know."

I was thinking god should be able to find you a job for him to tell you all these things.

I call it madness.    If he found a job like every other sensible person, he won't be speaking jagbajantis.

He also said god told him to start a conference for christians, worship center, publishing company and write books like oyedepo.

Personally, I think that "god" may speak to people in dreams but thats it.

But when someone tells me "god said this and that" Then they are getting delusional and need to visit a psychiatrist.
Re: How Do You Know God Is Talking To You? by IDINRETE: 4:12pm On Aug 28, 2008
in what language would that god be talking,

i presume that:
to the jews yahweh/jeovah talked in hebrew
to the arabs alhah talked in arabic
to the greeks zeus talked in greek
to the yorubas olodumare talked in yoruba
e.t.c grin grin grin grin grin grin grin
Re: How Do You Know God Is Talking To You? by madamkoko: 4:19pm On Aug 28, 2008
the popular belief is that god understands all languages. But the best way to speak back to god is to speak in tongues. lol. hehehehehe grin grin grin grin


I think you ask a good question of which god.? Because traditionalists will also tell you that god speaks with them, so will muslims, so will hindus, so will buddhists and all the various types of religions that exist.

HOW do you know? did your god tell you that personally? Why cannot that dream come from eating too much eba?

What if i said "when someone tells me god spoke to me in a dream then they are getting delusional and need to visit a psychiatrist"?

Dont include my name in your conversation. You claim to be "smart" and should be able to present your nonsensical ideas without my name.

How do you know god is talking to you??

Answer; When you start hallucinating and hearing voices in your head.


In advanced countries you would be checked into a psychiatric institution, in Nigeria, you become a prophet.

That's pretty dumb to be honest unless you intend to go post on a personal blog. I'm not presenting an idea just yet, mazaje already knows where i stand, i'm merely poking fun at your own silly claims. Isnt that what you do to ours?  grin

you say we hallucinate and need psychiatric help when we say God speaks to us . . . arent you suffering from the same problems if you claim a "higher being" speaks to you in dreams?

I am implying that i'm more likely to believe if someone tells me that god spoke to them in a dream. For instance, based on the bible, which you believe in god spoke to Joseph and others through dreams. I never said me.

the bible tells you a story and you believe it. cry cry cry

just the same way you personally believe a higher being exists and he talks to you in your dream. What's the difference? grin

Pot calling kettle black sound familiar to you?

There is this freaky shit that goes on in most churches today.

During prayers or worship or preaching sessions, Some dude/dudette (mostly women), will jump out of their seats, start spinning around, talking gibberish (tongues), then come to rest on the floor and start talking;

"Thus saith the lord"

After spilling their guts out, everybody will start cowering in fear that God has just spoken through that person.

Now I ask u, What is the difference between that person and an insane man/woman on the road??

Answer; One is in church, the other is on the street.

I know a friend that is seriously in love with a girl(He told me so) but he has personal esteem problems and couldnt approach her, he went to the pastor and told him that god told him that the girl will be his future wife, imagine this happened just two days ago. i no fit shout. Niaja kai. The country is completely dead because of god and religion. why are people just deluding them selves? how long can we continue moving down this dangerous path?

1. then how did you know a higher being can speak to people in dreams? he told you?
2. Just about old enough to dismiss people like you for the unstable, ignorant hypocrites you truly are.
3. covenant? nah.
Re: How Do You Know God Is Talking To You? by madamkoko: 8:36pm On Aug 28, 2008
go back and read my posts. dont' have time for rubbish.


If I don't believe in your god how am I an hypocrite. Makes no sense. An hypocrite based on its definition is someone who believes but pretends no to. I have no reason to pretend.
