Originally posted by CalJustThe Christian blogger would tell you that he walks and talks with God. (As a caveat, I was able to twist his arm enough to get him to comment back to me that "God rarely speaks in an audible way in modern times." But he insists God gives him thoughts that he could not have formed through natural means, thereby proving the supernatural power of God.)
I do not agree with that, so the rest of your question falls away.
How did I do?
So if you believe you walk with the Lord, and you disagree on some theological matter with someone who likewise claims to walk with the Lord, does it follow that at least one of you is deceiving himself?
(I once had an exchange of emails with the host of a local Christian radio talk show. One of the things I pointed out to him was that a certain theological point he likes to make on air is at odds with something said by a preacher who had a time slot on the same radio station. I asked the host, "Do you think God is pleased that Christians have differences in their theology?" His answer to this particular question of mine was a single word: "Yes." )
