And you consistently downplay the Bible's importance yet you're semi quoting it. You can't have it both ways, telling us how much you love the Bible yet are quick to point out it's not needed. It's very much needed. Having thoughts in your mind and attributing them to God talking to you says to me, with all due respect, that you are delusional. God speaks to us through the Bible he has given us as our guide. There's nothing in it that says he will speak directly to Christians. You're telling us we must disregard what the Bible says if it's in conflict with what God has told you directly. God wouldn't give us a guide and then give us conflicting commands. Only someone filled up with his own self deluded importance would think otherwise.
