Whether we can talk with God directly

Have you seen the movie DOGMA? In the movie one of the angels tell a woman that if god were to talk to her directly god's voice would kill her, so every time god talks to man it is actually an angel interpreter speaking the words to men.

Interesting concept i thought.

if god were to talk to her directly god's voice would kill her, so every time god talks to man it is actually an angel interpreter speaking the words to men

I think it's referring to seeing God, that's what God told Moses that He will die if He sees God. (Exodus 33)
But it's different when it comes to hearing God's voice, the book of Malachi was written as " The word of the LORD to Israel through Malachi.", and there are other many passages suggest that God spoke in the Old Testament directly to people. In the New Testament there are even more passages of God's communicating with people.

Whether we can talk with God directly

A devotee asked a question about the possibility of talking with God directly. He should investigate the human incarnation at present and can talk directly. The procedure to identify the human incarnation based on the scriptures is extensively explained by Me in several answers to the questions that are placed in the web-site (Universal Spirituality

I recall a time many years ago when I was coming home from working the 4 to12 shift. As I was traveling in my truck I was just praying and thanking God for my life when He suddenly spoke to me. I was right in the middle of a prayer when He said. "Your wife is going to have a child." Now I had a daughter, and I never really thought about having another child. Yet I just heard this voice. I respond, "but Lord, we really never thought about having another child." I then caught myself and quickly responded. "But Jesus, thankyou for the child you are sending us." I got home as quick as I could to tell my wife what God had just told me. Yet when I got there I discovered that my wife had already gone to bed. I recall leaning against are bedroom door and saying to myself. "My poor wife, she is pregnant and does not even know it." I then went to bed and thought I would tell her the good news in the morning. It was about three hours later when I heard my wife in the bathroom. She was sick and trying to throw up. As it turns out, she was pregnant. As time revealed, it was a boy. It was God that spoke to me that night. And He revealed to me something that neither I or my wife could of known. He is a God of wonder.

Current biases affecting past memories....it is not uncommon.

There are about 6.5 billion people in the world yet god doesn't have anything better to do than act as a pregnancy notifier.

God speaks to people who love Him, and he ignores those who don't. And that is why over in the Middle East Islamics who are seeking to know the real God in truth, are reporting that Jesus is appearing to them in dreams and telling them to follow him.

The Jews didn't have such a benefit during the holocaust.

Well if you recall, it was the Jews who rejected Jesus. I accepted Him, and He was the one that spoke to me.

God is a dick.

Well the day is coming when you will stand before Him. Perhaps you can tell that to Him on that day. Yet the Bible tells us, that on that day every knee will bend and every mouth will confess that Jesus Christ is Lord. Most of the World hates Christ, yet God is looking for the few that love Him. God came to this world to save the world. The world nailed Him to a cross. And if given the chance again, they would do it again. The real dicks are the ones who would oppose a God that loves them.

You fantasizing again?

No, I'm just talking about prophecies that will come to pass in the future.

Campbell34 thanks for sharing.
Jesus Christ is not someone you can be of disrespect. Why to be antagonistic about Him, except only if your own actions convince you. It will be a different time when He will not be a meek servant, but a powerful, almighty judge. That's the bottom line.
