I know a little because my bi-polar in psychosis took me into "religiosity", a manifestation of the illness. Since then, I have learned what is truth by the fruits of my labor. Now, all I have to do is answer my own question.....if good fruits are not being produced, chances are I am not in relation with God, but religiosity.

No you are not qualified to diagnose yourself.
No you are not qualified to write the bible unless you are called on by God, have been baptized and received the priesthood by the one and only true church.
In the bible it states that there is only "One Lord, One Faith, One Baptism" Ephesians Chapter 4 verse 5.
Take Care!

There is no distinction (especially with the development of modern science). The only thing that protects religious from being labled crazy (which really they are....I mean thinking that a cracker and some wine are some 2000 year old dead guys actual flesh and blood is really absurd) is that they hold majorities in nearly every country (except china where the country is atheist because it is communist).

The truth is that if anybody hears God talking to them they have schizophrenia/mental or are just having a acid trip. If you didn't know, God does not exist so he can't talk to anyone.

When you quiet your mind through meditation and prayer, you will be able to listen. Peace is the verification that your communication is from God, demons are the authors of confusion. Schizophrenia appears to me to be confusion, not peace. I am not qualified to write the bible, only to receive prophecy as God sees fit to allow me to understand. When I feel peace with what He reveals, I know the source is true. There are three answers to prayer, yes, no and wait. Most people lack the patience to wait and persistence to keep seeking the truth.

It's schizophrenia if God answers back.

God has not asked me to re-write His timeless scriptures lol... and if He wanted me to, HE would write it THROUGH me, as He did author the bible through His servants. i do not have mental problems lol but God does speak back in mysterious ways...like when i didn;t know who Jesus was and i told that demon to go away in the name of Christ, that was wonderous and mysterious. BEAUTIFUL miracles still happen you know, it's just so very few people have such strong faith, where u cud tell a mountain to fall into the sea and it wud obey. when you are scared and u feel alone, who is it u pray to? i called upon the name of Jesus and he came to my aid...that demon was gone, probably really scared... fyi...it used to haunt us children in kindergarden and the first graders... it was located right next to the playground in new norway, alberta canada in a white house... i remember everything...i can draw out the village, the house in which it lived, the playground and the demon itself....where and how it came into my room, the evil drum music me and my sister wud hear..... anyways.... that one night was not my first encounter with the demon... i had seen it before but didnt understand it was evil until that nite...after i casted it out in Jesus name... i ran out of my room...now i had atleast 25-28 steps on my staircase...and i being 5...only touched like 3 steps...how did i not die? i leapt down the stairs!! someone helped me down those stairs i can remember!! i didn't think of dying i knew i had to go and i knew i wud b ok so i leapt. i am not crazy, i have experienced what alot of people don't anymore... i am today a pentecostal, born again Christian who wished to be a Minister. Praise the Lord, God in heaven for his wondrous Love beyond all imagination and knowledge.

When you hear your own voice that speaks and answers back as God, not simply hearing A voice..

The line is drawn, when you actually believe that God is talking back. and I mean literally talking not in signs
