So you are trying to say that God never speaks to us except through His word? Is there scripture to show that God has stopped speaking to us?

It gets a little dicey though. When i was a kid, the deacons told the preacher that God told them it was time for our church to find a new preacher.
He said God told him the exact opposite. So there they were, in a Mexican standoff.

I won't say that. I will say this: If you claim "God told me X, Y and Z" I am not required to believe you, unless it's a direct quote from Scripture.

Is the Scripture that says He does?

God has never actually spoken to me but he has showed me things in other ways.

If some one tells us God spoke to them, fine but if they try to influence us by that fact we should beware, its time to search the scriptures.
