I will listen to God.
M4X, how can you listen to god?
In the posts since this one I'm quoting, you speak of the Bible and it's prophecies, as if it represents your future listening of god.
While that book does have some moral guidelines which are valid, for all I know, it also carries many which are invalid nowadays. Because of this, I find the notion that the book was inspired by god himself a bit (alright, quite a lot) disingenuous.
The book seems to be little more than a product of its time.
As with all predictions of the future, some educated guesses do some to pass, eventually, while some never do. This same statistic is present in the Bible, so it's prophecy capability is not surprising, hence not evidence of any special insight.
All this makes me think that you are being selective when you approach that book, and, just like the driver that complains that all traffic signs are coming out red for him while missing to account for the few that are green... You too count only the prophecies that, somehow, came true (even if the earliest known texts with them are dated from after the fact), while ignoring those that have never come true.
Some time ago, I picked up a book written in the 70's and I was surprised to find in it the prediction of working from home thanks to computers and their connectivity. Before computers were a thing you could have at home, before the invention of the internet! Should I assume that Alvin Toffler was inspired by god?
Perhaps you would like to revise your stance on those prophecies, or explain why the ones that have come true are the important ones that show us unequivocally that there is divine inspiration...?
