Inconsistent
Your opening post (OP) is inconsistent and you haven't provided your position concerning any of the questions.
This is a debate forum. You present a question and then present your position and the support for it.
There is a thread still open: Message 1
I suggest you read that thread and see if it helps with your questions or at least helps you to formulate a clearer position and post.
I'm not inclined to promote this topic as written.
Let me know if you wish to rework the OP.

Re: Inconsistent
This isn't a Coffee House topic. Coffee House is not an anything goes forum.
Inconsistencies:
How can you identify the word of God without judging God?
How would you determine whether or not it is the word of God since one is not to question the word of God?
How can you tell them apart without using your mortal understanding of existence?
What question do you want to deal with concerning identifying God's word: judging God, questioning God, or our mortal understanding of existence?
If your main question is how can anyone identify the word of God without judging God, then make your case for your position. An opening post made only of questions isn't a good start.
Think of it this way. In a debate a question is asked and each side gets a chance to speak. On this board, the opening post holds the question and the originator's position on the question. IOW, the originator goes first.

Re: Inconsistent
Yes I understood what you meant my judging. Since you thought of the other option, it is wise to clarify what you mean. I suggest not using the word judge.
quote:
My position is that I don't know how the word of God can be identified without judging God. I am asking those who believe that they have done so how they have done so.
There is a lot you can provide concerning your position. Such as:
Why is assessing God a problem in identifying his word?
Who says we can't question God?
What has our understanding of mortal existence have to do with identifying God's word?
You're asking questions, but providing no insight as to the point or basis of these questions.
If you really want to know how those who believe that they have identified the word of God and believe they have done so without assessing God, then you need to write a clearer OP. Why is assessing God an issue?
You've got participation under your belt and have written a reasonable OP for the spider thing. You can flesh this one out a bit and provide some basis for the questions.
