We do not literally hear God’s voice at this time of mankind’s history. In Old Testament times, man did hear God’s literal voice. Notable accounts include Adam (Gen. 3:9,10); Noah and his sons (Gen. 8:15,16; Gen. 9:8); Abram (Gen. 17:3,4); and Jacob (Gen. chapters [...]

Malachi 1:2, 3, “I have loved Jacob, but Esau I have hated.” This is a Hebrew idiom. The concept of ‘hated’ means loved less. Jesus used the same idiom in Luke 14:26, “If anyone comes to me and does not hate father and mother, [...]

No. In John 4:24, we are told that "God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth." The Scriptures distinctly tell us that a spirit has not “flesh and blood” (1 Cor 15:44). The Bible also [...]
