What voice within? Where in scripture does it say that thoughts and feelings that pop into our heads is God's voice within giving us new revelations?
Why would He use such an unreliable method of communication when proponents themselves admit it is virtually indistinguishable from their own thoughts?
Again nonsense...
Romans 8
12 So then, brethren, we are under obligation, not to the flesh, to live according to the flesh— 13 for if you are living according to the flesh, you must die; but if by the Spirit you are putting to death the deeds of the body, you will live. 14 For all who are being led by the Spirit of God, these are sons of God. 15 For you have not received a spirit of slavery leading to fear again, but you have received a spirit of adoption as sons by which we cry out, “Abba! Father!” 16 The Spirit Himself testifies with our spirit that we are children of God, 17 and if children, heirs also, heirs of God and fellow heirs with Christ, if indeed we suffer with Him so that we may also be glorified with Him.
Notice verse 16 the communication is His Spirit direct with our spirit.
You would do well not to belittle the work of the Holy Spirit within.
This direct communication between Him and us comes in various forms and does not involve the mind.
Most often through His inspired desires, sometimes an awareness, sometimes a dream, sometimes an illuminated scripture, sometimes a vision, rarely an audible voice. (think Samuel)
Now you don't experience this communication otherwise you would not argue so vehemently against it. Maybe your theology has grieved Him. You are certainly missing out on His intended living communion with you.
By the way when He speaks it is far from indistinguishable, I remember vividly during a prayer meeting His presence 'passed by' and I was unable to speak for several hours.
