Can you give an example?

"When you speak for God, I believe you are only speaking the thoughts of Brees." I agree that I only speak the thoughts of Brees. I don't claim to be inspired by God or to be a Messenger of God. I definitely would not attribute speaking for God to brees. Big mistake if I ever did....ducking and digging for my lightnin' rod. I sometimes say I know something because I believe it so strongly. I dun noe nothin.

"Why should I believe you are speaking for God and not for Brees." I can't think of a single reason. If you are a truth seeker and anything I said strikes you as the truth then fine. However, I make no claim on the truth. I'm merely a seeker, the truth is God's.

I believe that, what I do believe is not changeable in me, except by God. I believe the same to be true for you. That is why, as I have said before, I am not interested in debating religion. Just trying to clarify if what you like to criticize is the same thing I worship. It doesn't appear to be.

"Nobody tried to arrest Moses, or David, or Joshua...Hmmm. Do you think maybe they should have?"

Ever heard of the Philistines? They probably had a wanted poster or two.

"Moses, or David, or Joshua..."

I believe that these people were messengers of God. I would not try to arrest them because I believe they were doing Gods will. We don't know if or how much opposition existed among the believers. Its possible that it was there but no one made a record of it.
