Answer 2

LOL, good one. If somebody showed up today claiming to have received commandments directly from god via a burning bush, even the mainstream christians would have him committed to a mental institution. Why is that -- they'll believe in a "miracle" that let somebody talk to god 4,000 years ago, but wouldn't believe it now? Is it because they recognize that such behavior is indicative of a serious mental illness, as we've learned through science? Yet they accept that 4,000 years ago it was from the hand of god? How come god doesn't do stuff like that anymore if he's real?

Answer 4

If you mean would I follow what he said, it would depend on whether it was from God. Moses gave the Law that came from God, so I believe it. Moses was also used to do a number a miracles, like parting the Red Sea and once when Joshua was fighting, whenever Moses' hands were held up, the Israelites were winning, and when he got tired and put them down, they were losing. So some ppl held his hands up for him and they won. So, yeah, I would believe him. Have you ever won a battle by holding your hands up?

Answer 5

Alot of veriables exist to answer this question. Here are just a couple. Do they hold the priesthood of God? (can their priesthood athority be traced to Christ himself?) What are they asking me to do? Does it conform to the teachings of Christ in the Holy scriptures. As well as the teachings of the many Prophets through history. Is he claiming to be sent by God? Or does he just hear things from burning foliage? Lots of Questions. If he is a Prophet of God I will follow him.

Answer 6

I would believe in a god if a bush burst into flames in front of me, as long as I get to choose the Bush.

Answer 7

The Bible well says: “They did not glorify him as God nor did they thank him, but they became empty-headed in their reasonings and their unintelligent heart became darkened.”
So like the ancient philosophers of yesterday are the atheistic philosophers of today: “They are in darkness mentally, and alienated from the life that belongs to God, because of the ignorance that is in them, because of the insensibility of their hearts.”

Who says there is no God? “The fool said in his heart, ‘There is no God.’”—Rom. 1:21; Eph. 4:18, NW; Ps. 14:1, AT.

Answer 8

No - I follow the God that spoke through the burning bush.

Answer 9

Yeah, if he freed me from 5 generations if slavery, I'd probably be inclinded to at least stick around long enough to hear what he had to say.

Answer 10
