Hi Ampu,

Do you believe that God can reveal his mind and will to an individual, and give inspiration and guidance?

I disagree when you say that I have no way of knowing whether something is of God or of a demon.

We all are born with an inborn knowledge of good and evil which God has given us a way to judge between what is of God and what is of the devil. It is the light of Christ — which is “the true light which lighteth every man that cometh into the world” (John 1:9)

This light allows us to discern what is of light and what is of darkness. It is a gift and a guide that can lead a man or woman to Christ, if they do not harden our hearts and “quench the Spirit” (1 Thess. 5:19)

“I disagree when you say that I have no way of knowing whether something is of God or of a demon.”

And that would be simply an opinion with no facts, logic or evidence. Again.

“We all are born with an inborn knowledge of good and evil which God has given us a way to judge between what is of God and what is of the devil.”

Can you give me a Bible verse citation on that...

“It is the light of Christ — which is “the true light which lighteth every man that cometh into the world” (John 1:9)

Bad translation, by the way. It is Christ coming into the
world, not every man. That doesn’t not mean Satan cannot
deceive you.

“This light allows us to discern what is of light and what is of darkness.”

No, that isn’t what the verse means, Normandy.

“It is a gift and a guide that can lead a man or woman to Christ, if they do not harden our hearts and “quench the Spirit” (1 Thess. 5:19)”

Again, wrong understanding of the passage. It doesn’t say
it will guide you. Only Christians have the Spirit of the
Bible. You are quoting a passage that was written to the Church
of Christ. The Church that condemned mormonic teaching.
The Christ that was neither created nor made, but is
and was and will be eternally God.

Again, no facts, no evidence, no logic. You have feelings
that support your feelings.

ampu
