I Said: I am a high functioning autistic, and have never had "good Social Skills" for that reason, I had no intuition on how what I did and said would affect others and how they would react to me. Thus, I became a student of human nature, hope I will always be a student of human nature, studying people's motivations and reactions teaches me a lot about how they work and lets me interact better with them. As someone who is not "in the emotion" of society, I believe I am a better "Impartial Observer" than most.

You Said: In light of the above paragraph where you outline your inablility to discern emotion, how do you rectify your "burning in the bosom" - the emotion - that signals the answer for your "truth?"

You will find if you actually care to look that I have never claimed that my answer came from a Burning in the Bosom, but that that was a "Common method" as the apostles experienced on the road to Emmaus. I have always said that answers are as individual as the people who need to hear them.

Perhaps your undeveloped "emotions" got the better of you.

Your attempts to have fun at my expense are not appreciated.

Why should we trust your internal dialog, feeling, intuition, or gut reaction when it comes to truth?

You asked for an analysis, you got one you want an assessment of your emotional state, go somewhere else. I'm autistic, not stupid.

I will place my faith in the written, proven and true word of God, thank you very much.

Great, the Bible commands you to Try the Spirits to Ask God for Wisdom and to Seek and ye shall find.

You may do as you wish, God's commands not withstanding, I am merely inviting people to ask him, as he has commanded. If you truly believe they will receive a negative answer, you should be encouraging them along with me to put our church to God's test. and when they get an answer, and it testifies of Jesus Christ as My answer did, then they can apply the Bible again: First John 4:1-3
1 Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world.
2 Hereby know ye the Spirit of God: Every spirit that confesseth that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is of God:
3 And every spirit that confesseth not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is not of God: and this is that spirit of antichrist, whereof ye have heard that it should come; and even now already is it in the world.
You claim the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, nicknamed Mormons abbreviated as LDS is a creation of the Devil through a false prophet, antichrist, etc. Tat's your claim.

Here is how people can know, and it's straight from the Bible. I encourage everyone to take John at his word, don't believe me, don't believe them, but try the Spirits, read the Book of Mormon Read the Bible, pray about Both, compare the spirit(s) of Both, ask God, and either he will tell you it's true, or he will tell you it's false.

Let's be clear about this, it's God's test, not mine.

When God answers, if he says you are wrong, then you are wrong, If he says I am wrong, then I am wrong.

If people get an answer and it testifies of Jesus Christ and his resurrection, they'll know I have been speaking the truth, either way, the answer comes from God, not me, for I am nothing but his messenger, and a poor servant at that.

Care to explain that? How does an answer testifying of Christ and His resurrection indicate YOU are speaking truth? BTW, when speaking of Christ, it is customary to capitalize "His".

THE
DOCTRINE AND COVENANTS
OF THE CHURCH OF JESUS CHRIST OF LATTER-DAY SAINTS
SECTION 9
 
Revelation given through Joseph Smith the Prophet to Oliver Cowdery, at Harmony, Pennsylvania, April 1829. HC 1: 37–38. Oliver is admonished to be patient, and is urged to be content to write, for the time being, at the dictation of the translator, rather than to attempt to translate. 1–6, Other ancient records are yet to be translated; 7–14, The Book of Mormon is translated by study and by spiritual confirmation.
 
1 Behold, I say unto you, my son, that because you did not translate according to that which you desired of me, and did commence again to write for my servant, Joseph Smith, Jun., even so I would that ye should continue until you have finished this record, which I have entrusted unto him.
2 And then, behold, other records have I, that I will give unto you power that you may assist to translate.
3 Be patient, my son, for it is wisdom in me, and it is not expedient that you should translate at this present time.
4 Behold, the work which you are called to do is to write for my servant Joseph.
5 And, behold, it is because that you did not continue as you commenced, when you began to translate, that I have taken away this privilege from you.
6 Do not murmur, my son, for it is wisdom in me that I have dealt with you after this manner.
7 Behold, you have not understood; you have supposed that I would give it unto you, when you took no thought save it was to ask me.
8 But, behold, I say unto you, that you must study it out in your mind; then you must cask me if it be right, and if it is right I will cause that your bosom shall burn within you; therefore, you shall feel that it is right.
9 But if it be not right you shall have no such feelings, but you shall have a stupor of thought that shall cause you to forget the thing which is wrong; therefore, you cannot write that which is sacred save it be given you from me.
10 Now, if you had known this you could have translated; nevertheless, it is not expedient that you should translate now.
11 Behold, it was expedient when you commenced; but you feared, and the time is past, and it is not expedient now;
12 For, do you not behold that I have given unto my servant Joseph sufficient strength, whereby it is made up? And neither of you have I condemned.
13 Do this thing which I have commanded you, and you shall prosper. Be faithful, and yield to no temptation.
14 Stand fast in the work wherewith I have called you, and a hair of your head shall not be lost, and you shall be lifted up at the last day. Amen.

I doubt that you mean this!
