If someone claimed to be the Son of God today…

[Nutcracks]

If someone claimed today all the things that Jesus did/said, would you believe them?

Curious about how people would respond in today’s world.

We are most definitely not gods ourselves. There is no 'being in the know' that you speak of. God made everything in creation. We are unable to do that ourselves.

The Spirit communicates with my spirit. That’s where I hear Him speaking, not audibly with my ears but inaudibly in my spirit, and it’s just as clear. It is always unmistakably Him. Sometimes it’s an impression conveying a particular message, other times it’s distinct words. Often it’s a confirmation through an inner “yes” to a particular scripture. Often He draws my attention to something, perhaps in scripture, perhaps something else and then goes on to speak to me.

His words are often intensely personal and include directions and commands. Sometimes He will give me a word of knowledge in a particular situation, which is usually for the benefit of another person.

There are many examples I could give of when He told me to do something or to go somewhere.

Many are deeply personal and not something I’d care to share but one that’s not in that category was the time He told me to join a particular college course. I looked up the prospectus but it showed there was no crèche available, which was an essential requirement for me and which had already been agreed with Him would be necessary. He still told me to sign up for it. I protested “but there’s no crèche”. He told me to phone them anyway. So of course I did and when I spoke to the receptionist I mentioned that I really needed a crèche but noticed they didn’t have one. And she said, “no, no, we actually do. The information in the prospectus is a misprint”. That’s just one very simple example out of 43 years of this relationship.

There are many scriptures which mention the communication of the Spirit. Here’s one which is particularly in regard to a Christian’s new status as a child of God -

“For those who are led by the Spirit of God are the children of God. The Spirit you received does not make you slaves, so that you live in fear again; rather, the Spirit you received brought about your adoption to sonship. And by him we cry, “Abba, Father.” The Spirit himself testifies with our spirit that we are God’s children.”
Romans 8:14-16
(’Abba’ is Aramaic, the language Jesus spoke, for ‘Father’)

I’m not a sinner but am an atheist- wonder where I’ll end up🤣. Although I don’t agree with the concept of a sin - it’s just a control mechanism to try and scare people.

Sorry, but still wondering why God just didnt spread his word worldwide?

Which is what?

@AgileGreenSeal I do wish I could hear in the same way you do, but then you have been a Christian for a lot longer than I have and no doubt have spent much time in the scriptures and prayer. Occasionally there is 'something' that I'd say was the Holy Spirit nudging me, but nothing beyond that. Yet.

Why doesnt he do this with everyone?

Possibly exactly as it sounds, or maybe something like a fiery star, who knows. Not somewhere I'd want to be. It's nothing on this Earth anyway.

Well, He has actually done so! Via us humans. His Gospel has been spread to very distant lands from where it first originated.

I’m not going anywhere other than staying on Earth - same as everyone else do nothing to worry about!

No, your wrong. everything comes from source, but we are from that source and we do the creating when we get here.

Sounds like gibberish to me!

No it hasnt. Why are there missionaries if it has?

That’s because you don’t know.

The Gospel has been spread worldwide. Humans are born and die so new generations come along, missionaries keep spreading that word and reinforcing it for as long as God wants.

Messiah.

it was really good.

Well enlighten me then, but you'll have to be a bit clearer and more logical in your explanation.

But if God is everwhere why do you need missionaries. Surely god would be capable of making him known everywhere?

There is no scientific evidence that god ever existed or has done anything so I’ll carry on regardless.

Did Jesus claim to be the son of god though…

not everyone believes that…

that’s a point of faith, no historical fact.

then there’s the reason for his actual execution, that’s not that he was the son of god but because he was preaching of the kingdom of heaven and Jewish escatolology which didnt mean good things for the Roman Empire. He was basically executed for treason. (Read a few scholarly books on the historical Jesus)

Yessss, gutted this was cancelled

Source is light energy, which is what humans refer to as god.
when we are not being human , what’s people call dead we are that energy.
when we are being human we are manifested energy, ergo we are god manifested.

Your choice!

When you mention something of a practical nature like that college story, what do you mean when you say he told you to sign up, and then to phone them? Do you mean you heard a voice in your head? I don’t understand. I have read similar stories but I am not sure what people mean.

I’ll stick with fact rather than fiction
