Let me ask you this, Peaches - if someone truly hears from God, don't you think that He could speak so they could get the right information?

If you look at the OT prophets - there was never a question as to whether they spoke God's Words - and they never made mistakes. If they did, in the OT they stoned them for being a false prophet .... and this what God commanded for punishment.

So then, if God felt that way then, do you really supposed He just shrugs His shoulders when people say they hear from God, and it doesn't come true today?

Wow, I never thought of it that way before. But now I am confused, cause there are like 100s and 100s...maybe even 1000s and 1000s of people who prophesy and say they hear from God and then they speak a "word from the Lord" in church and everyone thinks that the Holy Spirit is there blessing people. So how come so many people are doing this if it's not God speaking? This is scary.
