You could have responded "yes I do" or "No I don't" to the kind of question I asked you. You don't need to bring in the long epistles about God.

That's my point!
You could go back to check what I asked earlier.
i remember what you asked.

You asked why God wont talk audibly for everyone to hear Him at once whether they are listening or not.
Am i wrong?

Any voice which demands you do what the word of God is against is of the devil. God wont work against His words.

There are basically three voices speaking in our minds,
Your own voice.
The voice of the deceiver (Satan)

The voice of God. which takes spiritual sensitivity to hear.

god is speaking to me in a language i dont understand
psucc:
And do you want God to use public address system for you hear? God is speaking. Only that we chose to listen to what we care or the ones that we feel will make us right before men.

Male voice, but gentle.
Re: Why Doesn't God Audibly Tell People Not To Do Certain Things? by Nobody: 9:54pm On Oct 02, 2016
how are you sure he is male though
Pidggin:


The Holy Spirit is the person who speaks directly to man. He is a gentle spirit. He was sent to comfort, counsel, guide and sanctify man thus He cannot communicate in a thunderous voice as God does because humans will be scared

The bible says He doesn't make us scared nor cause us to be afraid

God doesn't communicate in a feminine voice because He is not female. Gender is an earthly identity

calling Him a man is an insult? but most times when you describe god how come you us HIM when you refer to god
Pidggin:


Yes, God and the Holy Spirit communicate in two different voices. I believe you can change your voice at will or can't you? There are times when you speak loudly, there are times when you speak quietly, it depends on your intention.

I listed the roles of the Holy Spirit previously, He is here to communicate with us. He wouldn't speak thunderously because people will die of fear and His aim will not be achieved

I stated facts not personal thoughts. God doesn't communicate in a feminine voice because He chooses not to, He can do all things and nothing is impossible for Him so communicating in a feminine voice is not impossible but He has made His choice.

God is more than a man, He is the I AM. Calling Him a man is an insult.

In light of your post (with the biblical quotations directed at me), which I don't dispute.

I ask again in a clearer way

Question:
"Won't it be nice if God Almighty spoke to all humans which he created (NOT at once to everyone but at different occasions when necessary) thereby making us all know him better, and not to his selected 'sheep' alone"?

Options:
a. Yes, it will be nice.
b. No, it won't be nice.

Then you move further to justify the option you've chosen.
If you don't know or don't want to answer, politely say so. I'm not compelling you to answer

Thank you.

He is already doing it, but you don't hear because you don't want to hear.

Besides, am not in any position to tell the Only Potentate what is nice or not for Him to do.

He decides what is nice or nasty, not me.

I am but clay in his hands. and as clay, i accept my position and allow him do His thing.

Abi I follow am create him world? Very soon i go die, i go dey here dey decide what is nice for him to do or not?

I remember the last time we argued, something similar to this happened. The question is straight forward and simple, why all the rigmarole? If you give an opinion will harm befall you?

I never asked you to decide for God what he should do. That would be outrageous.

I asked for "your opinion ASSUMING GOD DID SOMETHING".

Just like saying " Won't it be nice if God blessed a couple with children "?

I just wonder!

The same God appeared in the form of a cloud by day and light by night in the book of Exodus. He also showed himself as lightening, thunder, and a thundering voice, the Bible also describes Him as a dazzling light, He appeared in the form of a dove during the baptism of Jesus, He spoke through a donkey to Paul and in a terrifying voice during the transfiguration

He can take on any form He likes because He created everything. We refer to Him sometimes as HIM because He takes on male-like form when He pleases. This occurs mostly when He is on His throne (every believer knows that humans are made in His image)

Good luck with your unbelief.

The Bible says we are God's temple, this includes both male and female. If He lives in you, He has taken on your form. When a female believer has the life of Christ in Her, He will act and do His will through Her if she allows

However, when He assumes His heavenly throne He mostly does so in a male-like form. But God can take on various forms e. g. fire like in the day of Pentecost, thunder /lightening /dazzling light /cloud etc as shown in the book of Exodus

Ah, Otio. From when did quoting sxriptures become an ignoramus game?

You said God commanded Joshua to kill people, pls show who and who Joshua killed, now it has become a game?

If you dont know the scriptures just admit it, and stop claiming sense.

You come to NL and listen to all these ignoramus insult God, you join in without knowing anything about it.

Re: Why Doesn't God Audibly Tell People Not To Do Certain Things? by chieveboy(m): 9:26am On Oct 03, 2016
I think the issue has to do with how religion had conditioned people to 'pray' out to some god in space...even though a god exists out there in space, reaching out to it becomes the problem.

Prayers and whatever works, but only if one follow the rules...the algorythm or better put: the laws of nature or the spiritual laws.

To cut a long explanation short, you listen within you! What is your heart saying? It's a rule that your heart can never lead you astray. Now listening to your heart is listening to God, but you didn't listen to the 'Space God' or the God you where conditioned to believe resides in the sky. There is a difference.
