Re: The evolution of morality

Which is as we feared for you.
Hearing voices is a red flag signaling mental problems. If you are not on meds, then seek professional help. If you have stopped taking your meds, then resume taking them. If you are taking your meds and still hear voices, then report that to your doctor so that he can change your meds to something more effective.
This past month, Brian "Mr. Deity" Dalton released a short series of The Way of the Mister videos, "WOTM: How To Discern Between God's Voice And Your Own" (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZaYfngrV3fI). Would be worth watching.
Malcolm's Brother Reese warning their younger brother, Dewey, based on his own personal experience:
Don't do what the voices tell you. THEY'RE NOT YOUR FRIEND!

How come you're prepared to spend pages on biblical analysis but no more than a handful of not very useful words on this?
What do you mean 'you hear Him'?

Actually, Tangle is writing to you and you are reading his words. Obviously that's not what you mean
If Tangle were to talk to you in person or by phone, sound waves would reach your ear. Obviously that's not what you mean, either.
So what do you mean 'you hear Him'? Why is this such a difficult question for you to answer?

Hi Percy,

Why not don't you get science information that way.

I probably would not hear him as I only have 15% hearing in base tones. I read my phone conversations.
Percy writes:

Its not a problem I hear him just as good as I hear you.
If I have a problem I can't solve I tell Him I need help and the Holy Spirit gives me the answer.
God Bless,

Re: The evolution of morality
Can you record the conversations or forward the text of what he tells you? Is English their preferred language? Has anyone else been there at the time this communication happens?

What can be asserted without evidence can also be dismissed without evidence. -Christopher Hitchens

Facts don't lie or have an agenda. Facts are just facts

"God did it" is not an argument. It is an excuse for intellectual laziness.

If your viewpoint has merits and facts to back it up why would you have to lie?

What else do you want me to say?
God gave me the Holy Spirit to lead me and guide me in all truth the moment I received His free full pardon and became His child.
John writes:
John 16:13 Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak: and he will shew you things to come.
I know you can't understand what I am saying because to you it is foolishness.
God writes:
to me in 1 Corinthians 2:14 But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned.
The natural man cannot understand spiritual things.
Thats the best I can do Tangle.
God Bless,

What good would that do you and everybody there except a very few would say they were faked.
But for me to hear Him He has to put the sounds in my eyes or ears which don't work properly. I have 15% hearing in the low range. My cochlea has been damaged by running heavy equipment that made really loud exhaust noises about 5 feet from my head back in the 50's when there was no OSHA to protect us. So the signals to the auditory cortex in the brain turns into noise instead of understandable sounds. There is a range where I can hear certain voices in that range but only15% of those. As long as you are standing or sitting where I can see the entire lips or half of the lips and you open your mouth when you talk I can understand everything you say, using what I do hear and reading your lips. So when the Holy Spirit talks to me he sends the signals to my brain or speaks to me through His Word.
God Bless,
