If someone told you that there was going to be a flood because God told them, would you believe them?

Of course, I was watching Evan Almighty the other night and thought about how many people made fun of him and didn't believe him. As a Christian, how many of you would actually believe that he spoke to God? How many of you know believe that someone has a message for you from God? What would it take for you to actually believe?

Now let's forget the fact that it is a movie and that Steven Carroll is an actor. Maybe it's your next door neighbor who had to build an ark, or your son who had to play God. What would your intial reaction be and what would it take for you to change?

    I watched Evan Almighty last night and thought of the exact same thing and was about to ask it. What are the chances. But If that happened now, people would think the person is crazy, and wouldn't believe it.

    Although most of the people calling this person crazy also believe the bible is 100% true.(Nothing against you if you do)

    those who believe in God and are true Christians have faith and we know right from wrong. we know when something does not sound trustworthy, we are spiritually prepared by God to know if we should or shouldn't do what is correct. how many people have said that they are Jesus and how many followers or believes they have? I know when someone its lying or not about God, because i feel it, i feel when something is wrong and i shouldn't do it. if a neighboor says or anyone says they are building an ark because God told him there was going to be a flood. i will pray and ask for Gods acceptance, if i get this feeling its a bad idea, then i wont, if its feels good and trustworthy, then i will. God can communicate with us just like he communicated with noah or any other true Christian, so we shouldnt have any doubts.

    I would convince him to see a doctor. They have special drugs that help people get back to normality when they hear voices.

    Hearing voices are still considered by clinical psychiatry as an auditory hallucination and as a symptom of conditions such as schizophrenic disorders, manic depression and psychosis. The usual treatment - major tranquillisers - are administered in order to reduce the delusions and hallucinations.

    However, not everyone responds to this type of treatment. Psychiatrists, nurses and other professionals have been taught that there is not a lot an individual can do for themselves to cope with the voices. Indeed, in the past professionals were taught not to engage voice hearers about the content of their voice experience as this was thought to be "buying in" to the patients' delusions and not helpful. Most often professionals sought to distract the voice hearer from their voices.

    God has speaks to me every day--I have nurtured a relationship with Him so that we converse (just like we are doing here) easily and daily. One thing God has revealed to me (concerning prophecy) is that the Chinese will invade America. Do you believe that?

    First, in this time, i understand the flood won't take place returned because of the fact God has promised that the earth should not be flood returned. So, for the period of as we talk time, i might push aside that guy. yet, you omit the element. in the journey that your arguing with in the context of the bible, enable us to proceed in that: God says that for the period of the day of Noah the completed earth became into crammed with wickedness. consequently, there's no "God the assassin" because of the fact homicide should be UNjustified - guy, at that element, had rather earned it (remembering we are arguing interior the context of the bible). Noah became into the only committed guy or woman in the international on the time. human beings did no longer hear to Noah in basic terms because of the fact his declare sounded loopy; they might by no ability had hear to him whether it became into no longer a loopy declare. Why? because of the fact all of them have been depraved. It did no longer be counted what God reported or what Noah reported; no longer something in any respect might have broken in the process the hardness of their hearts. They weren't attracted to what a righeous guy had to declare. rather, Noah by no ability somewhat slot in with something of the depraved international. If there have been different sturdy human beings in his day they'd not have been in with something of evil society and that they might have rather been greater receptive to a guy like Noah. sturdy human beings can perceive different sturdy human beings, yet dark hearted adult adult males don't comprehend the easy.

    I would be much more inclined to believe them if they said there was going to be a flood because a meteorologist told them.
