Haha Jim, love that it scratches your brain! I know precisely what you are talking about with the ‘God told me’ scenario – funnily enough I am releasing a podcast next week on that exact topic. I think there are are only a couple of options in the case of the ‘God told me’ claim. Either God did speak and the person needs to persevere in faith, or God didn’t speak and the person is now facing the consequences of presumption. I think many people use the words ‘God told me’ too easily as a way to strengthen their position. Bad idea!
