Speculation Topic for JWs: God's Way of Communicating

I had forgot to mention this before, but I just edited my OP to include "other Christians." And I am really interested in any answers or speculation that people have because I find it strange that back in the olden days, God used to talk to people. However, now he doesn't and you can only read (and interpret) what he is supposed to be saying to humans. But that's just strange to me.

..Will God continue to communicate with humans by means of written information based upon JWs' belief concerning Revelation 20:12?

That nobody knows for sure. It seems as if Adam and Eve communicated directly with God (or arguably with His Son) and were able to hear his voice and converse with him; so it is conceivable, once humans reach perfection, such a thing will again be possible .

So, why would humans need to reach perfection to be able to talk directly to God again?

I didnt say "talk" (we can talk to God in prayer at any time) ; Perfection was mentioned in relation to conversing in a way Adam and Eve seemed to be able to do before their sin. After God prononced judgment on them there us no record of them being able to freely exchange with God again.

While God did subsequently communicate with his inspired prophets and there are three occassions recorded in scripture when he audibly spoke from heaven, mankind in general has been cut off from direct conversation with God it seems because of their sinful condition.

I'm through with yours and the other JWs at this forum's Theocratic War Strategy.
