I agree to a degree.

We speak to God through our prayers, but how does God speak to us?

Sometimes prayer is a twoway communication. That is something which we could learn, if not by experience, then by studying the book of Daniel.

God speaks to me through prayer... prayer is talking with God... that has been my experience....

Well then, how does God speak to you through prayer?

Does He speak to you directly, or through the inspired words of the Bible?

Both?

The Creator speaks to me through nature. That is how I get to understand His nature and character.

I can see how God's nature and character could have been seen in pre-fall nature, but not in post-fall nature, especially after the Great Flood in which only those in the ark that Noah built survived.

Also, nature can't speak to me and speak of prophetic events like the Bible can and does.

Daryl, please point me to the source you have that is not post-fall in nature.

You may not have noticed but no one is able to interpret prophecy until after the prophecy has been fulfilled. The only use prophecy has to to prevent us from becoming delusional because we have been forwarned that things will happen. There is no one on earth who knows the future, regardless of how much prophecy they have studied.

Finally, there is something strange in the way you keep referring to the Bible as if it is a human being. The Bible does not say anything. The men who wrote the Bible are the ones speaking, and in there you find a lot of awful stuff done in the name of the Creator that certainly does not reflect Him.

Darius,

I am not going to repeat here what was already covered in another topic, however, I will say that I am surprised that you, with your education, limit God in what He can do, and has done, through inspiring those people to write what they wrote in what we refer to today as the Bible.

Daryl, how much of what the Bible writers attribute to God do you accept as true?
