I'm sure you've done meditation Astargath. I have done little, but enough to realize that not all thoughts are my own. These "thoughts" are not in any way audible, but I can still perceive them the same way I perceive my own thoughts. The major difference between the two thoughts is some came from me, but some did not come from me.

BADecker didn't realize it. BADecker isn't as sensitive to spiritual things as was Jesus. However, BADecker is becoming more sensitive to many spiritual things around him, including some of the thoughts of others at times when such is beneficial. BADecker is too slow at becoming spiritually sensitive. But there is a practical, "hands-on" way that anybody can become spiritually sensitive somewhat like Jesus. Can you guess what it is?

Cool

Please tell us.

''but enough to realize that not all thoughts are my own.'' Again, you might think you realize those thoughts are not your own but how do you know? Is there a way to prove it or test it? Of course not, it's just your brain, as usual. That's why mentally ill people think they can fly or someone is telling them things.

Actually, there is. For decades, now, doctors who opened up a person's skull, and sent a little jolt of electricity through sections of the brain, induced thoughts in a patient that weren't exactly his. In similar way all of cause and effect induces thoughts in all of us.

The question should be, Are any of my thoughts mine?

Cool

''inducing'' thoughts by stimulating a brain doesn't mean the thoughts are from a god or another being, that's not even close of being evidence of that mate.

Quite the opposite in my opinion.

I control my mind, rather than let my mind control me.

How do I know whether I am hearing a message from God or from the devil?

If it is a message of love, compassion, kindness, equanimity etc. then it is a message from God.

If it is a message of hate, arrogance, contempt, lust, jealousy, anger, greed etc. then it is a message from the devil.

(my belief in God is based on personal experiences and observations only)

Damn, so easy. If you hear voices in your head, it is actually insanity, not god.

They are not audible voices, they are absolutely silent.

Besides, I never said a message from God has to come from inside my head, it can come from anywhere.

There is no way to verify if it's a ''message from god'' or something else mate. It's literally impossible. Furthermore because most religious people claim that, it is easy to prove it's in your head and not any god. Hundreds of different religions and each one of them claim it's their god talking to them. The most logical explanation is that it's not a god but your own brain.

You should be a movie consultant, LOL

All movies, except for a few documentaries, and the few that are made while they are happening in non-movie real life, are lies. So, people love to make lies, and others love to watch the lies unfold.

Revelation 22:15:

Quote from: https://biblehub.com/revelation/22-15.htm

Outside are the dogs, those who practice magic arts, the sexually immoral, the murderers, the idolaters and everyone who loves and practices falsehood.

Or as the King James Version says:

Quote from: https://biblehub.com/revelation/22-15.htm

For without are dogs, and sorcerers, and whoremongers, and murderers, and idolaters, and whosoever loveth and maketh a lie.

Let us know when he answers bro :^)

What was the answer? The answer was that both of you are being given the ability to think and act in the direction of your little piece of free will.

Cool

So there's my answer! Grin

I was praying for God to tell me what Jesus meant by making that statement and God answered me via BADecker Cheesy

God answered through cause and effect. He answered both you and ATMD way back at the time He set things in motion. What was the answer? The answer was that both of you are being given the ability to think and act in the direction of your little piece of free will.

Of course, if you change the direction of your free will, God will go back and tweak the universe from the beginning. You will never know, brain-wise, from the resulting C&E activity, that you had ever used your free will in a different way... because, suddenly, you won't have.
