I don't know, which is why I'm asking. I'm just wondering how you would determine a random circumstance that you happened to be able to interpret as consistent with the bible from guidance from god, or are you simply asserting that if it is consistent with the bible, it must be guidance from god?

Drich Wrote:The 'sheep' know the Shepards voice. So, no.

So, you are certain that you interpret things correctly, because you have certianty in your ability to interpret things correctly? Have you been able to confirm this outside of the bible?

Even if the open windows of science at first make us shiver after the cozy indoor warmth of traditional humanizing myths, in the end the fresh air brings vigor, and the great spaces have a splendor of their own - Bertrand Russell
