I understand nobody can know God's mind - hence the question.
PS: I'm not expecting many answers as there a plenty more questions posed in this forum that are easier to jump to and answer. But thank you for those of you who try.

I represent God to the best of my understanding, knowledge, experience and Spirit given revelation.
Sometimes, I do miss a key point, that is my own human error. There are some issues that I am unclear on, and I will state such somewhere in my answer. There are somethings that I have not been given a revelation or particular understanding of, those questions, I will pass by.
If I teach someone wrong..........I am judged far more than the one who follows my incorrect teaching.

Most are answering for themselves. Only those that have the spirit of revelation when they answer can be said to be answering for God. What that means is that when we are moved upon by the Holy Ghost, then the message we deliver is the same as if it were from God, it is the mind and will of God spoken through His servants, whose servants we are when speaking under the inspiration of the Holy Ghost.
Are there people with that ability? Yes, there are. Living prophets and their delegated representatives, having authority from them to speak on their behalf.
I declare that The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints has that authority and its leaders are indeed God's representatives on the earth today. Revelation is real and it is available to all of us who seek it and need it.

Definitely a little of both I think. And they think they can answer for god through the bible.
It's looks if I am wrong! I'm actually pretty happy about that. Can I say that it SEEMS like some people sometimes act as if they are talking for god?

I see a question that I think I can answer then I do. We as Christians have the word of God to go by and that is how I answer with what my understanding of the word is. Hopefully it will help someone.

Religious people answer the questions with answers according to their programming. If its not main-stream and according to what ever faith, its rejected as garbage. If the Spirit of God were accepted by the world then we probably wouldn't have all these religious questions.

to be honest, the only way we can answer *for* God is to quote scripture, and that sometimes is done in the wrong context or manner... so most of us answer as to how we *understand* the scripture, and a lot of times we are only between 40 to 70 % right, if that much..... but, if we are honest in our faith we do our best........ as instructed though, by seeing and knowing how Jesus answered during His temptations, we *should* use the scripture to answer..... go in peace....... God bless

Serious questions: I answer with the best of my ability and the prayer that the Spirit is guiding my words.
all others: depends, I answer some for fun, for myself. If someone is being rude or disrespectful, I answer in different ways: pretend it is serious and answer as such or call them on the carpet for their poor manners
