To be fair, I didn’t say what you said is Unbiblical because you reject the Biblical doctrine of sola scriptura. I said that what you said is Unbiblical because it is not Biblically supported.
I think this too is a common feeling.
I have faith, I just have faith in God, not in you.
What does that mean?
There is no comparison with what the OP described and being physically whopped on the head. This is simply confirmation bias at work.
Sure it might statistically happen as would be predicted by probability but more likely you are interpreting an ambiguous passage favorably through confirmation bias.
I’m sorry, but if your only reason for contributing is to deny based on a sola scriptura argument, I’m going to kindly ask you not to derail the thread. I’m looking at this from a Catholic perspective, and to be frank, I don’t care if you don’t believe Catholicism’s teachings, no matter how persuasive you believe your argument to be.
Where in the bible does it say it is the only objective authority and nothing outside it is?
Where does the Catholic Catechism say straw man arguments are a valid rebuttal?
) The latter are called locutions and are quite rare I believe, while the former is the more common way that may leave room for doubt; God draws us to Himself first of all, asking for our faith, for our obedience, our cooperation without overriding our wills. He whispers, and we meet Him inside. There’s also another way, that’s not from Him, where we convince ourselves that we hear Him because we prefer to believe so. Finally there’re outright frauds who claim to hear God for personal gain.
That’s actually not what it means at all. It just means that, of all of the other sources we have, God’s Word is the highest.
