- Isa 43:10 Ye are my witnesses, saith the LORD, and my servant whom I have chosen: that ye may know and believe me, and understand that I am he: before me there was no God formed, neither shall there be after me.

Now the skeptic chimes in:
- You said God spoke to me, but I don't hear his voice.
- You said that the Son testified, but I don't get it.
