A strange inconsistancy - Divine communication Christanon 12/28/18 (Fri) 19:27:35 ba8ae7 No.748229

I was formerly part of a religion that has mediums as leaders. I always found it was a strangely inconsistent thing in Christianity in you would listen to only to the founders of your religion who said they had heard from an angel or God. Your own bible says demons can masquerade as anything holy. How do you tell the difference and why are such instances increasing rare in your religion?

They've always been rare, from the beginning. God only revealed himself to Noah, at a time when literally the entire world was blind. God only called Abraham out to break from his people and create his own civilization. And it's not like the history of Israel was full of prophets. There was only a handful - and most of the time, people killed them or at least tried to.

There is a dissonance between the two ideas you have here.

Diligence in Faith.

Because Protestants have no mystical teaching, protestants make up most of America. But even then, you'll have testimony of it happening, and then you'll still find supernatural occurrences in Orthodoxy and Roman Catholicism with great claims held by both Churches.

You're just wrong.

Well yes, that's exactly what I'm saying. Your own bible says not to trust mediums and that any demon can make himself appear as if he's anything, yet you follow a religion that is said to be communicated by the divine. This is a dissonance within Christianity itself.

I wasn't aware of many strange occurences. The only one I really know is Jeanne De Arc and her ability to predict outcomes of battles by what she said was the voice of God she heard.

I see it as increasingly more common. Our primordial assumptions about life, as in what's popular in the media, are so demonic you don't realize it and take it as natural.

When the black science man smiles and giggles in saying that humans are not important to the universe, know that you're seeing a demon. Same for women openly defending murdering their offspring for material prosperity, that's human sacrifice. Human sacrifice is very demonic. Demonic influence needn't be a grandiose thing like an 8 year old blaspheming in perfect old Coptic, most of it isn't. Same for divine revelation.
