Has God ever communicated with you?

[Justin108]

Can you perhaps describe how exactly God communicated with you?

Through holy spirit and personal experience.

Was it an audible interaction as if another human being was speaking to you?

Not as yet, no.

Please, in as much detail as you can, describe to me what it is like to have God personally inform you of something.

Yes I can. I won't, at least not to you, but I certainly could if I chose to.

JW

JW claims God spoke directly to him/her. JW, for whatever reason, refuses to explain the details of this interaction. I can only wonder why. Are there perhaps others on this forum who can explain to me in detail what an interaction with God is like?

[Justin108]

But a "what if it were true" scenario is utterly useless as a means to demonstrate anything other than what it would be like if it were true.

That is precisely what thought experiment is about. No one is asking you to believe anything is true.
Imagination is vital to any idea which requires logical thought. What I am saying is that it isn't difficult to understand as perfectly feasible. Something which is feasible isn't necessarily true, but if one is not even willing to consider something feasible,, one isn't engaging the part of the mind that deals with imagination, and one cannot then go about seeing if there are ways in which to test the hypothesis, because one has already made up one's mind that the idea isn't feasible, without even engaging the imagination.

As mentioned in a different thread, yes - I acknowledge that it is feasible. How do I now go from "feasible" to "true"?

Yet another excuse to refuse to support your argument.

No. It is a very logical, reasonable thing to want to determine if the request is genuinely motivated by actual interest. In line with that, I don't think the request is suitable given the amount of time and effort I will need to do what you are asking for, and the lack of guarantee it will be treated with all due respect on that count, given your track record so far.

"I don't want to support my argument because it will take too much time. Why am I even on a debate site? Damned if I know"

Anyway, I believe this concludes our "debate". If you ever change your mind and decide to actually support your claims, let me know.

[Yet another excuse to refuse to support your argument. I think I've heard enough excuses to conclude that at no point in this debate will you ever provide anything other than preaching. If you ever change your mind and... oh I don't know... use this debate site to actually debate rather than preach, let me know.

It's just not civil to write the above and it should be a warning. The hardest thing, however, is walking away.

"I don't want to support my argument because it will take too much time. Why am I even on a debate site? Damned if I know"

it is not good form to put words into others mouths, as the saying goes. Please refrain from misrepresenting what I actually say by taking this option.

I have plenty of data to support my arguments. And yes, it has taken a lot of time and effort to put together, and due to this sites allowing members to have a place to put such notes, that is where you will find them.

If you are actually interested in the data associated with the question, you will find it there.

This is the link

It is comprehensive and well enough organised and easy to navigate.

If the interest is genuine you will peruse the data at your own leisure and I am more than willing to answer any questions you have regarding the data.

Until then, happy researching and all the best Justin.
