Nice deflection.We can discuss it after you direct me to the passages that tell christians about how crucial it is that they hear a voice in their head

Whoa!!! You almost got me!!! I almost forgot about that conversation lol.... I asked you first
With all due respect, @steve, how dare you make that judgement about my heart and motives. You can judge what i say as being true or false by the Word of God, but judging what is in my heart is God’s place. This is NOT a game to me. I try to be light hearted and interject a bit of levity at times because I want you to know that I’m not attacking you personally, but rather discussing whether or not some of the beliefs in modern Christianity are actually Biblical. I care about you guys.
Here is an example of matriarchal spiritualism gone awry.
It really is sad.

Arg! Total cringe!! But I’m laughing too!
The whole subject of the voices in your head is based off spirits. That's a reality.
There are many verses in Scripture that clearly states we will be communicating with the Holy Spirit if we are born again. Read The book of John.
We are comprised of a body, a soul and a spirit. Only spirit can communicate with a spirit. Somehow this feels like math 101 for me. I've extensively studied the subject in the past and there's no doubt in my heart that the spiritual realm is real and just as active today as it was 2k yrs ago. Jesus number one ministry was the casting out of demons. Releasing people from bondage, making people whole.

I agree that spirits are real, but I’m not sure that I understand what you are saying here. Can you explain what you mean by, the voices in your head is based off spirits?
Would you be able to point me to what you are specifically referring to in John?
I agree with that statement
Again, I’m not sure what you mean by this. The scripture says that we were once dead in trespasses and sins, but we have been made alive in Christ. But, there are clearly examples of God speaking to people who were unbelievers (which would mean they were still spiritually dead, right?) and yet they were able to hear and communicate with God. What does that mean, “only spirit can communicate with spirit”?
I agree, I believe that the spiritual realm is as real if not more so than this realm.
I might quibble with you slightly there, by saying that I think atonement for sin was Jesus’ number one ministry and casting out demons and healing people was primarily to show people that he was The Messiah. But, He definitely did a lot of miracles and casting out of demons.

I think the comments about hearing God speak in your head is confusing things. God doesn't speak in your 'head', it's more about knowledge. Someone who has a relationship with someone else does things related to the other person because they 'know' the person. Once someone learns how God communicates with them it becomes natural to hear God speak without Him saying a word.

No, it's kinda like what happens in a relationship. You and you wife probably do it all the time. I know my wife and do.
I think some of what people are describing I would call wisdom. The scriptures say that "Wisdom crieth aloud" and I have experienced some in my head dialog I would ascribe to that. Once I was out riding when I was several months pregnant. The horse was a cute little Arabian mare. As I approached a deep cut in the ground that I always made my horses cross I remember "hearing" a conversation like this. "You know after all that running she just did her legs are kinda shaky" "And you know that she is going to try and jump that ditch and her legs are likely to give out when she lands" Each time a statement was made I knew it was fact. I still put her at that ditch, and sure enough, she tried to jump it, crumpled when she landed and went down, I came off of her, and watched her scramble to her feet from my spot lying in the sand in the bottom of the run off ditch. After I realized I could have been hurt, or worse, the baby I was carrying could have been hurt, and I should have listened to that "voice of wisdom."
Hubby was traveling once and had the clear words "Move over" cause him to hug his side of the road right before passing another car on that narrow mountain road, preventing an accident. He really doesn't know if those were audible words or in his head, but he heard the message loud and clear.
Another time he pulled off into a sandy wash to sleep and got bogged down. He tried digging his 2 wheel drive truck out, but just kept sinking lower until the axle was in the sand, the truck was high centered and the tailgate had fallen off. Finally he prayed and asked for help. After praying he got into the truck and drove right up out of the sand. A little further on the truck again sunk in the sand, and he went back to start digging when he was prompted to "Just ask" so he put all the tools back in the truck, asked for help again, and drove non stop out of the wash. This was before cell phones and no one knew where he was. Now people are less likely to pray and more likely to call someone they know.
YHWH is a very real help to all who call on Him.
On another subject, most are unaware of the first scriptural appearance of satan, even when they discuss it....because the word is translated adversary instead of being wrongly transliterated and capitalized.
End of thread derailment, now back to your regularly scheduled programing.

Yup, that angel was satan before he became personified and got all famous.

I know where your mind was going so let me clarify.
Say, you go to the store to get something for the yard, you said goodbye to your wife and you noticed that she wasn't in such a great mood. While at the store, this voice you hear says, but her an candy bar. You stop what your doing go look for one and get it and then go home. You say hello, she says hello, and then you give her the candy bar and she starts to cry because she just wanted you to pay attention to her. You're mind was on something else but something told you to pay attention. Something spoke to you in the store. You didn't hear anything but you knew that's what you had to do. That's spirits talking.
John 14:26. But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you.
Just curious what method you all would think that the Holy Ghost uses to teach all things, and to bring everything that Christ said to the disciples to their (and our) rememberance, especially since the scriptures cannot contain everything that Christ said to them and demonstrated for them. John 21:25

Matthew 10:19, 20 But when they deliver you up, take no thought how or what ye shall speak: for it shall be given you in that same hour what ye shall speak.
For it is not ye that speak, but the Spirit of your Father which speaketh in you.
27 What I tell you in darkness, that speak ye in light: and what ye hear in the ear, that preach ye upon the housetops.
Acts 13:2. As they ministered to the Lord, and fasted, the Holy Ghost said,† Separate me† Barnabas and Saul for the work whereunto I have called them.
