But because they feel it so strongly, they interpret it as “God’s voice.” This is different in degree but not in kind from people who sincerely believe God was leading them to murder someone.
The voice many people hear above God’s is the voice of their own hurt, pain, disappointment, upbringing, bad experiences with churches, impatience with others’ faults, independence, a desire to do everything their way, etc. All of us are sinners, and therefore, all do harm to others.) (As I often say, we have all been hurt by churches-I have-but I have also hurt people. Since their action violates Scripture, no matter how confident they are that God has led them to dissociate from all local churches, I believe they are wrong. I know people who “hear God’s voice,” leading them to withdraw from fellowship and accountability of the local church when God’s Word clearly teaches the need for assembly with the church (Hebrews 10:24-25).
