Sure you can.
One can test what was said against how it plays in reality.
If God gives direction in business, then look at the business to see if it flourishes or fails.
If God gives direction if wisdom, and His word look to what is say, and how it applies.
If God gives direction in family matters look at the resolution and where the family is over time.
If these things are from God then the person who receives them will be better off than when he started. In truth when one receives direction from God all aspects of life are effected, so when one is successful in all aspects and attributes these successes to God, if you believe mental illness can also be a possible explaination then it is your job to identify what specific illness that leads itself to personal and business sucess and then provide proof of this illness.
Otherwise know your whole arguement is an appeal to probability from a position of ignorance.
This is where you say if something turns out good, it's Yahweh. The implication being that if it turns out bad, it's just you.
Read it again sport.
that post was in Answer to the claim that their is no difference between mental illness and direction from God.
This post has absolutly nothing to do with anything you have said. Either your reading comperhension is below a 6th grade reading level or your intelectually dishonesty has placed you common sense in question. Because why else would you misrepresent what I have said so badly?
Is it your belief that I can not straighten the mess you have made here?
Quote:The alternate translation you gave says to abandon everyone, including what you want. This is pretty close to the same thing, and still bad advice coming from a guy that's supposed to care about you.Because if one stays true to the defination of slavery, one would realize that we are all subject to to "cruel masters" at some point if not through out our whole life, and what is being said here is to remind us of what Christ endured.
Why do I need to go farther than him saying be obedient to cruel masters, instead of saying escape the bonds of slavery for it is evil for one human to own another?
Quote:Jesus suffered a horrible death before coming back and becoming the ruler of the universe. Do the slaves who live their whole lives under the heel of cruel masters get such a reward? There is no comparison here.Our 'reward' is indeed in direct relation to how we respond to situations like this.
