This was the first and only post by speechteach, a n00b.

Perhaps one of "Ballard's internet buddies".

Rules for the Religion forum on FR are

HERE, speechteach.

There are many "closed" threads labeled "devotional" or "caucus" on which the comments may be more to your liking.

In the meantime, welcome to FR and perhaps you will learn things about your religion that you do not know on the "open" threads.

I think I see another example of people using only parts of articles that back their conclusions and try to hid the rest of the article from of folks.

In my opinion, posters who limit their postings to include nothing but carping, caviling, accusing, complaining and ignoring forum rules about "making it personal" do not have a leg to stand on in criticizing the contibution to the discussions by other FReepers.

“For no reason I can imagine, God talks to me. I know from direct revelation tht God needs us.”

Not to discount what you think; but be very careful with thoughts like those.
Many cults and destructive people have had those same thoughts throughout history...

I am one who believes that God talks to each of us, are you saying there in no personal inspiration?

I know it is nutty, but I have a relationship with God. It may be that I give Him what He needs. Yes “needs”. Reread scripture. Pay attention to the needs of God.

And your introduction/invitation to get to know Him is given in the spirit of mockery with no mention of Him or His Gospel as you know it? How are we to know what the Truth is if you won’t tell us?

Lol! God is love! He loves Obambi too!

I am the last person on earth that God would talk to. I guess that is the reason He talks to me. Imagine for a moment that it’s true. It is ridiculous, but I wouldn’t lie.

I've often told my story of how Christ saved me. You must have skipped it.

He loves me - He leads me, He feeds me. There is nothing more than that!

I do not look to others to do for me what only my Lord can do. And you cannot find love from His disciples until you find it in Him.

I love my enemies (at times I fail). And I love you Reaganesque. I fear it is you who cannot love me, an apostate from Mormonism.

Find Him, I pray, it is imperative for your eternal life.

“I am one who believes that God talks to each of us, are you saying there in no personal inspiration? “

I would agree with what you say.
The other poster seems to be taking this to another level however, that does not seem to agree with scripture.

Saying that God “needs” us, seems to very dangerous ground to be treading on. It elevates man to a level with God; not a good place to be going.

Scripture says that God gets angry and/or jealous. God wants a friend. Why is that so hard to understand?

I do not believe in “God”. But I have exhausted the statistics. My saintly wife gets nothing, but I get personal messages. God is a “dude”. He is a brother, not a father. He needs us.

I am not concerned about basphemy. God is my friend!

Reread scripture. Pay attention to the needs of God.

Specifically site which scriptures talk about God's needs that relate to your claim that He needs us.

More deserving people don’t understand. Neither do I. God loves me. I know it. It makes no sense.

“Scripture says that God gets angry and/or jealous.”

Yes I would consider this to true according to scripture.

“God wants a friend”

No this is not based on scripture.
