wouldn't be the first time.

And yet it's you who is always telling us, "seek seek seek, you have to seek god. If you seek him, he will reveal himself."

This is why people hate christians. You contradict yourselves constantly. Back and forth you go.

Indeed. One could almost conclude the Emperor might just possibly be naked. Or that there is no Emperor at all.
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist.  This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair.  Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second.  That means there's a situation vacant.'

RE: Hell, or rather my brief experience of it.
You know, I had an epiphany while taking my test. This is so classic.

You had an anomalous experience, lensed through Christianity, which is the dominate religion in our culture, therefore: Religious experience. You said at the time you were trying to seek God? Bam, discontent. Have a crazy Jesus-dream? Well, there is your resolution right there.

Just because 'we' can put a name or dianosis something, doesn't mean that God has been prevented from using it. That is unless you can come up with some conclusive proof as to why I experienced one single instance of Sleep paralysis.

Quote:2. How can you go to judgement without dying?
Who is to say i did not die? Or who is saying I was at my actual judgement? I should think since then my life has changed enough so that my comming judgement will not go the same way.

Quote:3. If you were an atheist, you were clearly not A/S/King for god, so how did you see Jesus?
I A/S/K all aveues at that time. I was going to church to try and get a girl to like me. So Christianity was the focus of my efforts then.

Quote:Also, did Jesus look like he does in paintings (i.e. white) or did he look like this?
I don't remember his face, I remember His eyes (not color, but righteous judgement.)

You only see contradiction because you do not take the time to understand what is being said. You are quick to judge and slow to understand.

Sleep paralysis is expereinced only one or 2 times in thier lifetime by approx 305 of the population. It is usually brought on by stress or fatigue. It is simply a malfunction of the order your brain falls asleep, so you are partly awake and lucid, but also have the "dream" part of your brain active, and the paralysis part that prevents us all from acting out dreams.

As I said, I have the recurrent kind, so I can honestly say that your experience sounds exactly like sleep it. I would ask a sleep specialist, if your elaly want to rule out possible natural causes.

ROFLOL

God is the God of the Natural universe. Why would He be bann from using 'natural' or observal phemona?

Just because we did not understand How God's miricals happened or how 'phrophets' were given over to dreams and visions 2000 or 3000 years ago does not mean we were Never meant to understand the nature of God's Natural universe.

Does this mean that you accept the fact of evolution? Being natural and all. No fucking miracles required.

RE: Hell, or rather my brief experience of it.
PS, I meant 30%, herp a derp.

So, if you hallucinated, and it was recorded as a natural phenomenon by scientific methods during a sleep study, you would still say "and therefore god". And if it WASN'T natural, of course, you'd say "and therefore god".

Well, what is the point of talking to you at all? Why are you here? You clearly don't care to have actual discussions or to learn new things. If godditit is always going to be your answer no matter what, then you are 100% closed minded.

Liars for Jesus strike again. (atheist my ass)
