Does it fit in your scriptural understanding to say that God does speak to individuals, when things are called to mind, i.e., to see goodness, sins brought to mind, or apologize or various things that the Spirit may lead one to deal with? . . .
You can ask a man, "Do you love Jesus?" But Who is Jesus to him? Is he a Jesus of his own imagination?

The Bible</span> teaches us that eternal life is knowing God and His Son Jesus Christ. Jesus says, And this is life eternal, that they might know thee the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom thou hast sent.
So the question is does man know the true God? Not the god of the imagination of men, but the God who is described in <span style="background-color:#FFFF00">
the Bible</span>?

As it is written</span>, There is none righteous, no, not one: There is none that understandeth, there is none that seeketh after God. They are all gone out of the way, they are together become unprofitable; there is none that doeth good, no, not one.
Their throat is an open sepulchre; with their tongues they have used deceit; the poison of asps is under their lips: Whose mouth is full of cursing and bitterness: Their feet are swift to shed blood: Destruction and misery are in their ways: And the way of peace have they not known: There is no fear of God before their eyes.
Romans 3:10-18
This is the<span style="background-color:#FFFF00">
judgment and emphasis of Scripture</span> upon the natural man.
