Question
Do you believe that God speaks directly to us today, or did His revelation cease with the New Testament? Or does your church fall somewhere in the middle, believing that God may choose to speak to some men, but not most? If you believe He still speaks to us, in what way?

Answer
Dear Jack,

the Lord loves us immensely and He desires to establish with each of us a personal relationship.
I experience this relationship expecially during prayer; I feel His presence close to me, and this gives me an immense joy. I feel His love and I know He perfectly knows me, any aspect of me. The Lord does not speak to me through words, but He enlighten my mind and me understand what I need to understand.
During the last 2000 years, the Lord has appeared to many saints, and He has spoken to them. It is the Lord who choose the persons whom to speak to, exactly as it was the Lord who chose the apostoles.
However, the Lord does not need words to comunicate with us; He can directly open our mind and makes us understand new things.


Your brother in Christ,

Marco
PS I think that faith cannot come only from logic, because to have faith in God means to trust and love God.
I think however that logics and science prove the existence of our soul and the existence of  God and that there are many rational arguments strongly supporting the christian faith.
The explanation of these aguments is rather long and Allexperts allows only to give short answers. You can find such arguments  the following site

http://xoomer.alice.it/fedeescienza/englishnf.html

where  I analyse the incongruencies of the materialistic conception of the mind, on the basis of our present scientific knowledges about brain and matter.
This analysis points out how the laws of physics  prove that the   brain cannot generate consciousness, which existence implies  the presence in man of a unbiological/unmaterial element. The problem of consciousness is then strictly connected to the one of the existence of the soul and, consequently, the existence of God.
In the first article entitled “Mind and brain...” you can find a general discussion of the mind and brain problem from a scientific point of view.
In the second article entitled “Scientific contraddictions in materialism”
you  can find an explanation of the fundamental inconsistencies of  the  typical arguments used by materialists, such as the concept of emergent, macroscopic or holist property, complexity, information, etc.
In the section called “FAQ: answers to  visitors' questions” you can find the answer to many typical questions, such as "Are there any scientifically proved miracles?", "Does the existence of the universe imply the existence of God?", "Can science explain God?", "Can science establish which is the true religion?", "Can science explain consciousness in the future?", and many others.
