Unless God (assuming you would recognize him!) said it in front of you, you must believe it, based on nothing more than another man's testimony. So, when you say that God said something how is it that you "know" unless you are willing to believe that a book, which was written by an human, represents God word?

God is not a hypothesis. He lives. His Name is I AM. I've known Him for a half century and counting.

The words of God are spirit and life. The words of men are neither spirit nor life.

It is the spirit that quickeneth; the flesh profiteth nothing: the words that I speak unto you, [they] are spirit, and [they] are life. - John 6:63

The natural man cannot discern the words of God. To him, they are merely words like any other. The natural man does not have "ears to hear."

Why do ye not understand my speech? [even] because ye cannot hear my word. – John 8:43

But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know [them], because they are spiritually discerned. - I Corinthians 2:14

The indwelling Holy Spirit brings the words of God alive within me. That is how I spiritually discern the difference between the words of God and the words of men.

But the Comforter, [which is] the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you. - John 14:26

But the anointing which ye have received of him abideth in you, and ye need not that any man teach you: but as the same anointing teacheth you of all things, and is truth, and is no lie, and even as it hath taught you, ye shall abide in him. - I John 2:29

Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, except it abide in the vine; no more can ye, except ye abide in me. - John 15:4

To God be the glory, not man, never man.

Thank you A-G. I have a copy of this answer. In fact, it's like any other I asnwer I get from you...same stuff, different number. If you want to make a comment, make a comment in your own words, but cutting and pasting the same lines over an dover gets old.
