Are you of the truth, the word of God? Who do you know who is of the truth?

"My sheep hear my voice"

"Whoever is of the truth hears my voice."

"Whoever belongs to God hears every word God speaks."

"To you the secrets of the kingdom of God has been given but to those outside it is not given."

I hear it every time I read or think of a verse in the Bible.

I have no idea. I asked If you heard it...you didn't. Your expecting it... or not....isn't relevant to what I asked.

It would reveal the work of the Holy Spirit in you and prevent you from being a mind-numbed robot spouting verbatim verses with a blind faith in ancient ignorance and superstition.

I propose that "voices in one's head" should be seen as a serious mental health issue and reported to a doctor immediately.

It's a radical and blasphemous idea, I know.

So if the voice in your head says, "That guy isn't going to stop on the red. He's going to blow through the intersection."...... you just hit the gas because you have the green light and think voices in one's head is a mental health issue?

I hope you have REAL good insurance

I don't "hear" Gods voice..Gods spirit is with me always, guiding me, instructing me, and letting me know through my guilt feelings when I have done wrong.

Kind of like "spiritual telepathy"

Lol!

Do you get a discount on your insurance because the voices in your head reliably warn you of impending collisions??

Home, home again.
I like to be here when I can.
When I come home cold and tired
It's good to warm my bones beside the fire.
Far away across the field
The tolling of the iron bell
Calls the faithful to their knees
To hear the softly spoken magic spells
