The words were not my words, nor was I the One who "mingled" them or spoke them. God's word is His own providence--and He alone decides by His own choosing who speaks the truth from Him.

Question is: Why have you come out with swords and clubs, as those who killed the prophets of God and crucified Christ?

And you? You are in no position to preach.
A noteworthy aspect of being a prophet, which is what you'd be if God is talking directly through you. Is that God's power/miracles follow alongside with them. Saying the wrong thing or doing the wrong thing under God's personal direction has serious consequences, which I'd say all those prophets knew well. It's a serious calling, that any Christian would have to know that their normal workaday life is over. Just believing that your called as a voice for God is not enough, and as much as I have learnt it is not something many people would want.

This whole world is cursed, and all people have sinned and fallen short of the Glory of God. There is nothing in this world perfect, except those in Christ. You might be short and wished you were taller and thought that wasn't fair. You can be allergic to something and somebody else isn't. you might sing good, but somebody else sings great. the list of life's unfairness's is endless. Not just humans, you can buy a farm and can't grow vegetables no matter what and the farm next door has a bumper crop, simply because the soil for some reason is better. Fish don't bite in your stream, but somebody else's stream has plenty of fish. With God, all things are possible. I praise God, that I belong to Him. Jesus makes life better in all aspects, in this imperfect world and people.

I am well aware. But don't think for a minute that those who falsely accuse those actually sent by God are subject to any lesser consequence.

You haven't shown anything to validate a God is talking through you. Put yourself in my shoes, if I was from some faith claiming that a God is talking through me, how would you react. At best I am not going out of my way to make a joke about it, or ridicule you. But I have a right to question anyone who'd expect me to simply follow what they say on the basis that they believe God is talking through them. Because in truth you believe that, and I'm not you believing what you believe.

I guess if you gave all human beings a right to free food, clothing and shelter no one would stands to profit so drastically.
You can get free food , clothing and shelter here in the USA . Don't they offer it where you live ?

You don't need to do anything. In fact doing nothing would be better for you. But no, you claimed that God was not speaking through me--like you would know, like you knew anything.

And I don't need to validate anything. You are owed nothing.

If you don't like hearing the wind, plug your ears or seek your own shelter, but don't expect God to be silent when you vent in His court.

That's one reason why the US is so deeply in debt.

2 Thessalonians 3:10
For even when we were with you, this we commanded you, that if any would not work, neither should he eat.


The Lord teaches in His Word that if someone does not work they should not eat. Freebies are not biblical.

It's one thing to give someone a hand up, and quit another to build a welfare state and continually support people who refuse to work.

That's called Idiocracy.

So when A.I takes over everyone's job, it will be fair when all those people starve.

I don't say people should get everything freely. Just their necessities. Food, clothing and shelter. Why? Because those things are commonalities. Think about everything else we're accustom to be buying with our workaday expenses. I think that if those base-line necessities are no longer a added stress to our list of expenses all economies around the world would grow.

So you are all about you and you are a taker never a giver.
WHO is going to pay for people to have free stuff??? The communists?

It's no wonder you are homeless!

Too bad you don't believe what God says in His Word and act on it.

You must be one of those liberals, right?
