A woman heard voices in her head during a holiday that warned her to return home at once.
Once back home in London, the voices spoke to her again and this time gave her an address for a brain scanning department. They told her she would need a brain scan as she had a brain tumour that was inflaming her brain stem.
Although she had no symptoms, a scan was performed and did reveal a tumour.
After a successful operation, she made a fully recovery.
It could be argued that this woman had a mental illness, but if the voices had been part of a mental illness, would they have been right?

Moses heard directly from God the Ten Commandments to give to the people of Israel in Exodus 20.

And God spoke all these words:

2 “I am the Lord your God, who brought you out of Egypt, out of the land of slavery.

3 “You shall have no other gods before me.

4 “You shall not make for yourself an image in the form of anything in heaven above or on the earth beneath or in the waters below.5 You shall not bow down to them or worship them; for I, the Lord your God, am a jealous God, punishing the children for the sin of the parents to the third and fourth generation of those who hate me, 6 but showing love to a thousand generations of those who love me and keep my commandments.
