God told me . . .
Yesterday, I took the boys to the park after Logan's appointment. The playground had 1 slide that was blocked by a giant peice of plywood. Since you couldn't go down that slide, Luke decided to go the bottom and try to climb UP. I told him not to climb up because that slide was broken. Then about 10 minutes later he ran up to me and said,
"Mommy, God told me to go up the broken slide."
Um, what am i supposed to say to that? Don't listen to God, listen to mommy?!?!

You say, "Now, would God tell you to do something dangerous? You might think it's God, but maybe someone is lying to you, trying to get you into trouble. That's called Temptation. We all need to learn to avoid Temptation." And when they ask "Is it God or Temptation?" say "Ask Mommy to help you figure it out!" That always seemed to work for my girls. When they'd ask me, "How do you know?" I'd say "I'm old, that's how I know!"
That's awesome.
Anyway, the seminary answer (Restoration movement version) is that any revelation by God must be checked against what is revealed in the Bible. In this case, the new revelation is against the Bible, since it goes against honoring his mother. So yeah, that's what you tell him. Right?
By the way, Ed and I were trying to play on that slide a week ago. We were just as disappointed as Luke.
