Italy recommendations/personal experiences?

A question for Christians who claim they had personal experiences with God: How have you objectively ruled out?

  • ... that this experience did not have an external source? Posted a few minutes ago: "My claim is based on much personal experience with God in my prayers, studies, and in observing the world around me. Is it honest to automatically discount my (and thousands of others) experiences as false without having experienced them yourself?" We know that many people claim to have personal experiences with aliens, ghosts, demons, spirits, and different gods, and genuinely believe they had such experiences. Unless you believe all these experiences are true, you know sometimes people are completely convinced they had experiences that, in fact, they did not. How have you objectively ruled out this possibility in your own case?

  • Answer:

    I was going to make an argument, but then you already posted the argument I was going to make, so now I will say nothing.

I saw into Heaven and witnessed a certain event taking place. I did not feel I was in heaven but simply watching but people spoke to me as if I was there. I saw many things and people who had died but this one thing that was unusual because the man I saw was not deceased. I looked him up to see if he had passed away. I googled his name and he was still alive so this was perplexing to me.I described the event to my family. Later , a speaker described a specific incident that he had witnessed in heaven with the same living person doing the same thing. He saw that several hundreds were visiting heaven on this day for the same reasons. He described what I had told my family with many of the same details. This event solidified my belief that all of us are seated in heavenly places. All may ascend to see things that many do not see. Jacob's ladder is hanging down and we may ascend like John did in the book of Revelations when he was told to Come up here. It is not really up but it feels up when your brain makes the adjustment. It is the sense of an elevator rising for me. I do not dispute that other people may see things like ghosts, demons nor am I delusional about mental illness. I am married to a man who assessed mentally ll patients for his job as to rather they were healthy enough to live on their own or too dangerous to others. This morning I was praying for my daughter and felt I needed to pray for her as she drove to work. She called to say that a man had driven into her lane and nearly sideswiped her car . The people who say that nonsense of two hands praying or a thousand hands miss a great truth. When we pray, we open ourselves up to revelation because the spirit of God shows us these things.Jesus said my house will be a house of prayer for the nations. Prayer is everything! You listen and you pray. It is not a one way communication or it would be so incredibly boring. Who could pray without ceasing? My cynical neighbor told me precognition was based on coincidence. I argued that this may be so if we dream general dreams about loved ones dying. Everyone dies. I said so if someone shows up with a frog on their head tomorrow , you will say this is merely coincidental? The next day his nephew was on Facebook with a frog on his head. I have had troubling dreams that came to pass about dead loved ones that were very specific as to what people are wearing and where they are standing and what they are saying. Another time I asked God to punctuate an e mail with a thunderbolt because he obviously never defended me I was whining because it did seem like he gave all these other people a break and I had crappy friends at the time. They were just young.. I was upset with a friend who had repeatedly been unfriendly to me.and worse. We stopped speaking for several years . When we rekindled our friendship, she told me that lightening had hit her house when she finished reading my e mail and she said God , if this correction is from You, let it stay off til 6. The power stayed off until 6. We are dear friends today and I am grateful for her friendship. I was also glad God backed me up and felt ashamed for telling him he never backed me up. I tell this story knowing that we are to forgive 77 times 7 .I am by no means perfect or extra holy. God is fun and has been very , very good to me. . I went to a church that did not believe in God doing a lot of things and the first time I saw the pastor was aware he was very ill and would die. I told my husband the pastor needed prayer and to have a physical check up. He did not ''look'' ill. He was a young man. I milled around the foyer trying to figure out how to talk to him about something so serious without being alarming. I said nothing. He died within a month and a half while shoveling snow. I always tell the story about the man who is walking with his brother and his brother is clucking like a chicken. Someone approaches the pair and asks what the problem is. The normal brother says ''he is my baby brother and he thinks he is a chicken.'' He is asked why he has never taken him to get treatment. The older brother says ''I would but we really need the eggs.''

The Truth is The Truth... and those who know The Truth have received all the proof required from God...... if you seek The Truth, and proof, you will have to come to God in The Way He prescribes.... no living mortal can prove God to you. When The Truth is revealed by God you will know it is from God..... and even then you will be free to reject it...... The Word and Will of God is not to be imposed upon any one not already in willing submission to Him.... not even God

What you say makes sense, but there isn't any point trying to reason with religious people. The deepest response you'll get back is "Rot in hell atheists, I ain't no monkey"

I have..I did it by asking God , telepathically so Satan cant hear, to show me it is really Him..What you ask God in private He will reward you in public..And there are too many ways in this physical realm that God lets me know it's Him.
