Question
Hy Edward!
Im Christian and i strongly beleve in God and Jesus Christ..
I was surfing on the allexperts.com and i found out ex expert twyla's answer to question  related to "talking with Lord" where she said that it's a two sided conversation. When I prayed i never actualy speaked to HIM..but on her answer she got me curious. Here is Part of her answer:
"How to talk with Lord? I'd say there's one easy way to start. Get up in the morning when your head is clear o f distractions for a bit and say, "Good morning, Holy Spirit." I guarantee you'll hear him. I don't know anyone who I've told to do that that hasn't. When God's speaking, you know.

It's evening now - this is the conversation I'm having with God to record it for you.

Me: Good evening, God.
HS: Hello Twyla.
Me: Praises and thanks be to you!
HS: Why, thank you. Blessings to you.
Me: I'm just talking to you right now so I can share this conversation with one of your children.
HS: Excellent. I'm looking forward to talking with them.

Alright. I stopped talking then. Now, this may seem kooky, but you're going to find out that if you try it, you'll have a similar conversation to start out with. Don't ask God your hardest question after 10 seconds. Get comfortable with him. He'll sometimes answer questions before you even think them, or knew you wanted to ask.

The point is that all God wants is to be able to talk to his children. Don't just pray and never let him talk to you.
Keep your heart open when you try. Sometimes he speaks in feelings, knowings. Not always words at first.
That's how you hear from God.
Now im curious if you had any expiriance similar to this becouse i just cant hear Him.. I was calling the Holy Spirit and hes not answering..Maybe i have some sins that is blocking his voice..i dont know but i was trying and i cant hear..
To tell you the truth i have little doubt about this issue..I hope God can forgive me becouse of this..

And my second question is this:
Does our human race come only from Adam and Eve (if this is correct are we all made
in incest?) or it is a transferred meaning..like that God made earth in 7 days but in
reality he made it in thousands of days.. Did he made lots of people with different
races?"
Thank you for Your time..
God bless  

Answer
All humans are descendants of Adam and Eve [a first set of parents].  Paul talks about this in Romans.  So, the second generation would have been from a brother and a sister.  I see no problem here.
While prayer can  be talking and listening to God, I do not think that we can demand that God speak whenever we might speak to Him.  Personally, I often ask for divine guidance; sometimes, I do think that God helps me to think what is the correct thing to do.  Some Saints have reported that they received special words from God  but such happenings are rare.
I hope that these thoughts are of some help.  If you would like more, please feel free to write again.  However, please wait to write until next week as I am leaving for a short vacation.
Best wishes.
