You should look up the connection between god “experience” and Temporal Lobe Epolepsy.
“A 40-year-old man with history of temporal lobe epilepsy presented to the emergency department with hyperreligiosity after medication noncompliance. After medications were resumed, he returned to baseline. Many famous prophets are believed to have suffered epilepsy. Waxman and Geschwind described a group of traits in patients with temporal lobe epilepsy consisting of hyperreligiosity, hypergraphia, altered sexual behavior, aggressiveness, preoccupation with details, and circumstantiality. The incidence of religious experiences ranges from 0.3 to 3.1 percent in patients with epilepsy. Religious experiences can be ictal, interictal, or postictal. Treatment is aimed at the underlying seizure etiology.”

If there were a test that proves to you that you had a TLE seizure that explains your god experience would you still Believe?

I'll be honest, that all sounds like amateur fan fiction to me.

my experience with jesus left me feeling that he isnt asking me to get people to believe me . he wants me to pass on what i felt - in actions.
So - i am to make people feel loved, joyful, secure, like they are at home ... they are to experience my warmth, kindness and love - if i can recreate that for them.
