Christian "purpose" and "meaning" in life.

[Brakeman]

kidding aside, The prophets and the bible authors could not have had the same method of communication as you, through scripture only, so where does the bible explain that your prayers will be different and that god won't talk to you as he did in all the other examples?

He can communicate with me any way he wants. I believe he's communicated with me through situations or signs. He might talk to me in words some day. I don't know. I don't particularly need him to do so. What are you getting at?

So god hasn't spoken to you directly yet??
Do you think that perhaps you had a faulty baptism? In the new testament some believers accepted Christ per John's teaching (John 3:16) but had a faulty baptism and because of that the Holy Ghost hadn't come to them yet.
Just like you, they weren't getting any direct communication from god via the holy spook despite their very sincere prayers. Paul saw their problem and fixed that.
It seems that Paul had to re-baptize them to get it right so that they could receive the holy spirit that they had been missing. Do you think this could be your problem? To reference this, it is found in Acts 19.

Just think, one little screw up at the baptism, and you've been going for years in a pool of self delusion thinking god just doesn't have anything to say to you, but in your reality, you just have a messed up phone line to god and you didn't know it... I think you should get re-baptized right away, your ghost line answering service must be full of important messages from god himself... Maybe he wants you to build another boat?
