Who does God talk to???
Several folks here claim that the God of the bible talks to them... (and has talked to Christians and pre-Christian Jews throughout the ages).
In a way, yes, the power of God talks to us... through our higher selves, through our spirit guides and guardian angels, though our selfless acts for others, through the examples we set when we aid and assist in the spiritual growth of our fellow man. God speaks through love, compassion and tolerance.
But is this talking God just the God the Bible, an exclusively Christian God? One that talks just to certain Christians now days who believe in the bible and have taken Jesus Christ as their savior?
I posted that GW Bush invaded Iraq because God told him to. (I won't go into my feelings about this here, although some of you may be aware of them)
The Islamic clerics in Iraq that are involved in the 'insurgency' are urging their followers to fight to death because God tells them to. God talks to Bush in Washington. God talks to al-Sadr in Fallujah.
All through history God supposedly tells one side of a conflict they are righteous and to go to war, and tells the other side they are righteous and to go to war.
Is God schizophrenic?
Sounds like it, doesn't it?
Here is a challenge to those who believe in a strictly Christian God:
Before you just simply claim everyone else is lying, listening to, and/or worshipping a false God, and that yours is the 'Real MaCoy' ....and dismiss them as heathens, heretics, or lost souls... take a moment to see if you can make a rational and 'spiritual' case for 'your' God. Simply quoting scriptures is not going to cut it... think for yourself on this one...
