This Friday we begin a 4 week series called ' God Speaks ' in which we will be looking at the different ways in which God may speak to us.
This week we are looking at the Holy Spirit.
Has God spoken to you ? If so, how ?

God has spoken to me many many times and in some spectacular ways, but 99% of the time it has been through the Bible, sometimes as someone explained it but usually just as I read it.
Hi anon, the Bible doesn't speak of a God who instructs suicide bombers. I think those who take this course of action are not hearing the words of my God. Simply, I believe the Bible is the word of God.
But will people listen to you if you just argue that you are right and they are wrong? You may believe that the bible is the word of God , but they will be just as convinced that the Koran is the word of God - and also may be prepared to go to more lengths than you to demonstrate that God is speaking directly to them .
PS God in the bible clearly instructed his chosen people to kill in order to inherit the promised land. Are the SB's so different in their approach?

God has spoken to me during discussions with fellow Christians and Bible study.
How can you be sure that it is God speaking to you?
Well, anonymous, that's what we will be exploring at the services over the next few weeks, so If you live locally, come and find out :o)
Does God also speak to suicide bombers? How can you be sure you are right and you are wrong?

Surely no faith can ever be 'proven', isn't that why its called faith ?
