Consider Alma's words in the Book of Mormon to a man known as Korihor. Alma 30:42 "thou art possessed with a lying spirit".
Please understand that I am not accusing you of anything similar to what was going on with Korihor. The case you present - it is possible that something was happening for your protection. It is not the proof of these kinds of things that I am probing for. What I am asking is what kind of "fire wall" do you have in place to preserve access? Or is this a matter to which you have no concern?
One of the questions given in this thread is that there are many "opinions" concerning religion and religious ideas. Quite often individuals will hold strong opinions concerning religion and religious ideas that they believe to be truthful and “inspired” of a divine spirit or by some other means to be more inspiried that the opinions of others. My question is – if you are sure you are receiving guidance then how are you sure that it is coming from a divine source?
