When my acquaintance spoke, his mother instantly recognized his voice and responded.<BR/><BR/>We recognize sounds, whereas understanding thoughts are not so easy.<BR/><BR/>To have "thought voice" suggests that there is more to the thought than an idea, because is needs some form of sound to be voiced.<BR/><BR/>In this context, a "though voice" would stand out as not being a person's normal thought, but one that has emphasis attached to it. <BR/><BR/>Such a thought suggests external influence. I can understand how a person having such a thought would ponder it rather than let it fly pass the bat.Happy Richeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08987034800727836062noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4588993912565225243.post-12986793467661333442009-04-06T09:49:00.000-07:002009-04-06T09:49:00.000-07:00Hi - I've had a similar experience.

I went out and (I can hardly relive this) - in fact I won't. I'll only say that I hurt someone really bad. Why he didn't die I'll never know. <BR/><BR/>Anyhow, as I turned to go back into the bar the crowd that had gathered parted like the Red Sea and this Thought, this Voice, this Thought-Voice said, "You are a very sick young man. You need Me." <BR/><BR/>I remember my head snapping up and my eyes going way wide and I was looking at the people kinda sideways to see what their reaction was. Obviously they hadn't heard anything out of the ordinary. It was still another 6 or 7years before I became a Christian but since then I've talked to other people who've had a similar experience. All of them are now Christians. Some were Christians at the time and some weren't. That's where I got the term "Thought Voice." Anyhow - <BR/><BR/>I've heard many atheists say something like, "Why won't Jesus just appear in front of me? Then I'd believe." The fact is, even if Jesus appeared in front of an atheist it wouldn't make any difference. That would be a miracle and atheists don't believe in miracles. If Jesus just appeared, the atheist would come up with a naturalistic explanation of go merrily on h/her way.Thesauroshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13305052511095551483noreply@blogger.com
