QuoteHow do you know when god is speaking to you?
While there may be other ways God communicates with us individually (e.g. feelings/emotions/experiences), one can only be sure that He communicates to us through His Word.
QuoteThe only trustworthy source of divine truth, guidance for your own spiritual growth, and instruction for the church is the written Word of God. No emotional urging or mystical experience can trump the concrete, fundamental truth God has given us in Scripture. Does God still speak? Yes, but not in an audible voice. He speaks through the pages of Scripture.
The Bible alone has survived the test of time, and countless attacks from doubters, liars, and heretics. Its objective truth is proved every day in the transforming work the Lord accomplishes through it. Even the apostle Peter, who witnessed Christ’s transfiguration firsthand, heard the voice of the Lord numerous times, and performed miracles himself, counted Scripture as “a more sure word” — the final word regarding God’s revelation (2 Peter 1:19). - John MacArthur

QuoteSo when God tells me that as a test of my faith, I should go grab the kid and a pick ax and head for the hills, and he'll explain the rest later, I should comply?
No...because that would be inconsistent with any principlal derived from scripture. Whatever voice you may have heard that told you that was not from God.

You have to pull his string.
GLORY BE! IT'S A MIRACLE!
CAN I GET AN AMEN?

===================
Genesis 22:
Some time later God tested Abraham. He said to him, “Abraham!”
“Here I am,” he replied.
Then God said, “Take your son, your only son, whom you love—Isaac—and go to the region of Moriah. Sacrifice him there as a burnt offering on a mountain I will show you.”
Early the next morning Abraham got up and loaded his donkey. He took with him two of his servants and his son Isaac. When he had cut enough wood for the burnt offering, he set out for the place God had told him about. 4 On the third day Abraham looked up and saw the place in the distance. 5 He said to his servants, “Stay here with the donkey while I and the boy go over there. We will worship and then we will come back to you.”
===================
Is it your claim, then, that Genesis 22 is incorrect?

I have a rather long story that I'm writing concerning this sort of thing. I will post as soon as I can. It concerns my wife and my son almost dying when he was two months old.

Context Billvon. Abraham was a prophet. God certainly spoke in audible clear language to him. You can't pluck that from the OT and apply it to us today. Now, God speaks to us through Scripture.

God (apparently) spoke in clear and audible language to Ron. Is he a prophet?
Do you want to have an ideagasm?

You said that if a voice told someone to take their kid, grab a weapon and head for the hills to sacrifice them, that such a voice "would be inconsistent with any principal derived from scripture." Yet that's exactly what God told Abraham per Genesis 22. So which is it? Could God have said that?

So who was it who commanded the Jews to kill every man, woman, and child in Canaan?
The O.T. is filled with commands from your loving God to commit murder, rape, and to enslave.
You really should read the book that you refer to.
Or, maybe you only refer to the new and improved God in the N.T.?
