God communicates in different ways

I believe God communicates to us on an individual basis and in different ways. Sometimes through what others say. Sometimes it could be from something we read. Or through a song. His ways are infinite but real. It's in His timing and we have to be open to it

Pop onto my profile I did a post a while back about how God speaks to us
@TheWildEcho Shouldn’t he speak to us in a way we can understand and respond to? If I talk to you in a foreign language you don’t speak, whose fault is it if you don’t understand me? Mine or yours?

@LeopoldBloom have you seen the post I refer to?
@TheWildEcho I'm referring to your current post. You can answer the question anytime.

@LeopoldBloom like I say it was a reference to my former post, have you read it?
@TheWildEcho Yes. You had a poll asking people how God speaks to them. One choice was "he hasn't spoken to me yet." So the question is, assuming God wants everyone to believe in him, why isn't he "speaking" to everyone [i]in a way they can understand[/i]? It's not enough to say "well, he spoke to me through the Bible/rainbows/trees and flowers/etc. so that should be good enough for you." Clearly, whatever way you "hear" God doesn't work for everyone.

Think of it this way. Imagine that you think Shakespeare is the greatest writer ever, so you read his plays to someone who only speaks Chinese. Whose fault is it if he doesn't think Shakespeare is that great? His for not learning English? Shakespeare's for not writing in Chinese? Or yours for not translating?

In the same way, if God wants to transmit knowledge of himself to me, it's on him to figure out a way to do it. It's not my fault if he's essentially talking Chinese and I don't understand him or even know he's talking.

@LeopoldBloom plenty of people on here have explained very eloquently about how to accept Jesus as Lord and Savoir, and all in English, are you telling me you don't understand English? Funny that because you write in English!

Sounds like you are trolling, which doesn't surprise me as you have trolled my previous posts
@TheWildEcho I'm aware of all of the explanations. I'm just saying that none of them have worked for me. Maybe if God himself made a personal appearance to me, that might help.

You keep avoiding the question and engaging in ad hominem, I wonder why?
