Let not God speak to us!

Exodus 20:18 And all the people saw the thunderings, and the lightnings, and the noise of the trumpet, and the mountain smoking: and when the people saw it, they removed, and stood afar off. 19 And they said unto Moses, Speak thou with us, and we will hear: but let not God speak with us, lest we die. 20 And Moses said unto the people, Fear not: for God is come to prove you, and that his fear may be before your faces, that ye sin not. 21 And the people stood afar off, and Moses drew near unto the thick darkness where God was. 22 And the Lord said unto Moses, Thus thou shalt say unto the children of Israel, Ye have seen that I have talked with you from heaven.

Jeremiah 23:28 ... he that hath my word, let him speak my word faithfully. What is the chaff to the wheat? saith the Lord. 29 Is not my word like as a fire? saith the Lord; and like a hammer that breaketh the rock in pieces?

Psalm 50:16 But unto the wicked God saith, What hast thou to do to declare my statutes, or that thou shouldest take my covenant in thy mouth? 17 Seeing thou hatest instruction, and castest my words behind thee. 18 When thou sawest a thief, then thou consentedst with him, and hast been partaker with adulterers. 19 Thou givest thy mouth to evil, and thy tongue frameth deceit. 20 Thou sittest and speakest against thy brother; thou slanderest thine own mother's son. 21 These things hast thou done, and I kept silence; thou thoughtest that I was altogether such an one as thyself: but I will reprove thee, and set the] in order before thine eyes. 22 Now consider this, ye that forget God, lest I tear you in pieces, and there be none to deliver.

Isaiah 30:8 Now go, write it before them in a table, and note it in a book, that it may be for the time to come for ever and ever: 9 That this is a rebellious people, lying children, children that will not hear the law of the Lord: 10 Which say to the seers, See not; and to the prophets, Prophesy not unto us right things, speak unto us smooth things, prophesy deceits: 11 Get you out of the way, turn aside out of the path, cause the Holy One of Israel to cease from before us. 12 Wherefore thus saith the Holy One of Israel, Because ye despise this word, and trust in oppression and perverseness, and stay thereon: 13 Therefore this iniquity shall be to you as a breach ready to fall, swelling out in a high wall, whose breaking cometh suddenly at an instant. 14 And he shall break it as the breaking of the potters' vessel that is broken in pieces; he shall not spare:

John 8:44 Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it. 45 And because I tell you the truth, ye believe me not.47 He that is of God heareth God's words: ye therefore hear them not, because ye are not of God.

Psalm 119:103 How sweet are thy words unto my taste! yea, sweeter than honey to my mouth! 104 Through thy precepts I get understanding: therefore I hate every false way. 105 Nun. Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path.

2Timothy 3:16 All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness:

2Timothy 4:3 For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears;

Israel in Moses’ days did not want God to speak to them. They were frightened and preferred for Moses to speak to them instead. He was a mere man. They could talk back to him in opposition and threaten him ... and they did so. But they were too intimidated to do that to God! What does that tell you about "human choices"?

Today we have the same thing. Some have said, "Do not give us all those scriptures! Give us your heart is saying in your own words". The fact is men prefer the words of men for the same reason Israel wanted to hear Moses rather than God. The Word of God is written thunder, fire and lightening, and earthquake that speaks in an "unheard voice". The Word intimidates unregenerate minds and they do not understand it. "Give us the word of man and not the scriptures"! Men can argue against the words of men and challenge their veracity and "authority". It is hard and intimidating to do that against the direct Words of God without looking foolish as an "unbeliever"! In Isaiah 30:8-12 we find that Satan’s offspring hate the Word of God. They do not want to hear it or see it, and they do not want Jesus or God (the Holy One) before them. Jesus said, "He that is of god heareth God’s Words. Ye hear them not because ye are not of God. Ye are of your father the devil!" Men must take heed to the spirit that is in them and influencing their choices. Any time you conclude that YOU do not want the Word of God and YOU prefer the "spin" on instead .... then you know what spirit is influencing you. It is your personal "badger’s skin veil" of devils covering your temple body! Exodus 26:14, Ezekiel 28:14-15, Matthew 12:43-45.

Romans 7:15 For that which I do I allow not: for what I would, that do I not; but what I hate, that do I. 16 If then I do that which I would not, I consent unto the law that it is good. 17 Now then it is no more I that do it, but sin that dwelleth in me. 18 For I know that in me (that is, in my flesh,) dwelleth no good thing: for to will is present with me; but how to perform that which is good I find not. 19 For the good that I would I do not: but the evil which I would not, that I do. 20 Now if I do that I would not, it is no more I that do it, but sin that dwelleth in me.

Just as men did not want to hear God in Moses’ days,
they do not want to hear God and nothing but God today! "You write TOO MANY SCRIPTURES! Say what you have to say in your own words (which do not have the power of life nor God’s authority). The problem with the men of Moses’ day is the same problem men have today. Devils covering their bodies do not want to hear nor see the Word of God. So they steer YOU (their horse) away from it! Let every man take heed to the spirit leading his mind!

Isaiah 55:8 For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, saith the Lord. 9 For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts.

The scriptures are meaningful only to those ho choose to believe they are the word of a God. To someone not so inclined thay are not relevant. Quoting scripture without any commentary to someone who does not believe scripture is the word of God is ludicrous.

BTW goodnewsinc;
I am in no way frightened or intimidated by your concept of your God. I simply have no reason to believe the Bible is anything more than ancient literature.

Havoc: You are right! Why would any wise person post to those who do not believe? But in a public forum, why would an acknowledged "non-believer" bother to review a post such as mine?

To believers: Romans 15:4 For whatsoever things were written aforetime were written for our learning, that we through patience and comfort of the scriptures might have hope. 5 Now the God of patience and consolation grant you to be likeminded one toward another according to Christ Jesus: 6 That ye may with one mind and one mouth glorify God, even the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ.

All we do is look and live!
