Oops!
My complete bad. I was thinking Abraham, not Moses. I apologize.
To admit ignorance, however, I had no idea that there were similar claims about Moses. The OT never ceases to amaze me.
Regardless, I think my "stone throwing" test still stands with respect to Lyric's comments..
Every single other Christian here makes the same claim (completely ignoring all the non-christian theists making similar claims).
If you can readily accept that they are so easily duped...so easily convinced of wrong truths, why can't you doubt that your "Spirit" guide is just as false? Is is because you "feel it"? Do you doubt they do?
Would Satan work any other way than to bring you into a sense of perfect harmony and acceptance? Isn't that his whole claimed gig? I know the bible says the path is very narrow. How do you know you are on it, while claiming many others are not? Wouldn't that entire narcassic surety of your salvation be indicative of the snake oil (pun intended) that Satan would sell? How about that fact that there are others so completely sure of their salvation and others damnation that disagree with you on so many fundamental points?
I am sincerely interested in this idea. You say the Holy Spirit inspires the you to interpret the bible as version "A". Others say version "B", "C" and all the way down to triple Z.
So why would I, as an outsider looking in, want to give any faith unto something that seems to have thoroughly confused the masses? I have countless different versions of the Holy Spirit being spit at me here and in my off-line life.
I realize I am asking retorical questions here, as I am very unlikely to suddenly embrace the faith. However, I think these are valid rational questions.
(BTW-I will be traveling for the next few days, so I won't be ignoring your response, should you post one....I will respond as soon as I can get back to my computer.)

My guide is the Holy Spirit, and if it isn't in the Bible, or if it contradicts the Bible, it is a deception, trap, or lie. The sad part is that many have not received the Holy Spirit yet, and these deceptions can and will lead many down the wide and broad path to destruction.
