Quote:You say "if God says go I will go no questions". Always question everything for your own good. A few years ago i read about some people like you who believed and no one could talk them out of it. One guy tried and I believe succeeded in cutting off his hand because it offended God, another deluded fellow cut off his manhood If god ever told me to do that I think i would tell God where to go Believing in God is one thing but your are over doing it, remember God of the OT is one crazy S.O.B.Again this is why knowing the bible is so important. Because God is not the only one who 'speaks.'
I am sure men like Joseph Smith and the other one... mmm.. Mohomad truly thought the were speaking to God/angel of God. An experience like this puts one almost into a state of shock, and without guideance there is no way to tell God's direction from any other. Guideance comes in the written word of the Holy Spirit/Bible.
I chose my words carfully. When God says go I go with no questions. The questions are there to desern who's voice it is that i hear. If God says go, I go.
