I dont rely on what others tell me,I rely on what God tells me.Thats not a weakness,its the truth.No Hammertime,I didnt speak and hear Gods voice so save your usual banter,I feel it and Ive spoken of it how many times before on here.
So.... who told you about God?

No voice. You feel it instead? You can feel a voice talk to you? Is that like a vibration or something? Maybe it was a subwoofer.
Feel god's voice. More irrational emotional meaningless nonsense descriptions. Cognitive distortions. And that feeling is from another entity, another being, invisible and immaterial but its a deity, a god, a being.
You've heard of the Jerusalem Syndrome haven't you?
So why can't it be a voice? Too insane even for you? Well your buddy hears voices. A few of them actually. One even felt hands on her. Another had a conversation with god but all you get are these feelings....
Don't you see how feeble these descriptions you're giving are? Its just poetry at best and delusions if you believe its an entity vibrating at you.

Jankia, so he doesnt speak with you but tells you. okay.
This is what you said previously:
I dont rely on what others tell me
But isnt this not true? Dont you think all in all you talk riddles and not being truthful to yourself?
I have a keen sense of you and know you to be a good man. But your beliefs are not allowing you to reach your true potential. Damn me for saying so, I dont give a damn 
But the fact remains you are relying on what you have been taught by others. It is how you learn in life. You also learn by the world about you. What you learn by the world about you and the people in it is what becomes confusing when trying to seek the truth.
You are relying on what you are told hence what you believe instead of getting the raw truthful deal about life and mans ideologies in blind faith. Sad but true.

When you rely on what the Bible says and only what the Bible says, you ARE relying on what others say.
There is no truth until a person has researched out and proved to themselves that it is a truth.

You said the bible is the word of god, I believe.
So why does the word contradict itself throughout it's pages.
That's an ommission.

If the bible is the word of god then god shut up a long long time ago. (except to those who hear voices in their head)

You people just dont get it do you.Where did I say that I rely on what the Bible says?
There is no truth until a person has researched out and proved to themselves that it is a truth. So truth is isolated to what an individual proves to himself that it is?
Speaking the truth is far more difficult then saying whats untrue.Its similar to a lie.Lying is easy,remembering a lie is far harder than remembering the truth.

Never mind, no need to answer. Its rhetorical.

OK, Jankia, so you don't rely on the Bible.
So where DO you get your information?

Jankia, this is what you had said:

Why infer "You people" when this isnt true? See, you do this stuff all the time.
When will you be a stand up kind of guy and admit we see so many faults in what you say even though you may not realize it that what you believe is true, actually isnt. We do provide all the logic and reasoning behind what we do say. Well I do any way despite you "picking on me constantly" and we know why you do that, dont we Cos im too bleedin kind to you!

I"m just wondering why a Christian and a member of the Methodist Church says he doesn't rely on the Bible.

Beyond me too mom
Jankia needs to come out of the closet and seek the truth with us all. All this limited faith stuff is just a dead end on a path he will one day have to realize. Better sooner now so he can walk another way to the goal.

There is joy beyond imagining when a person opens their minds and just lets go.

There is a great wisdom that has always been present awakens. Compassion radiates forth and the greatest feeling of joy and equanimity pervades. This is a weakness of Christianity.... they talk of these things and they try to practice these things but the art of these things lay beyond them. This doesnt mean to say this is bad. Of course not but realization must come eventually that these things are within them and not outside of them.
