What doesn't make any sense is your lack of your own theology. Sola fides - by faith alone - remember that? So what are you trying to prove? You don't remember being born again? Baptized in spirit? You don't remember the lines of scripture I referenced?
Did I mention being a journeyman prophet? Do you know why an atheist would make that claim? Because there's science involved, perhaps? Because once the science of the prophet is understood, revealed religion becomes a marketing scam?
Here's a fact. We simulate things in our minds like future and mind of another. When you read these words, you automatically simulate a human to go with the avatar. Reading descriptions of places and events, you run a simulation of going there witnessing, participating.
The heart is made of sixty percent neuron and is capable of electromagnetic communication of emotional context; more science, with the very last bit being hypothesized, by scientists.
So I take that data, add it to my own observational data of what happens to people around me; and I make my own hypothesis. Paul made it up in simulation in his mind, communicated that simulation electromagnetically to his crew. And they remember stuff that never happened. Left gainful employment in 2008 to put myself in isolation and research this bullshit - that's what a compassionate and rational being does when he's a locus of paranormal event - and now I know stuff. Most importantly, I know what not to do, to not interfere with the emotional context of my fellow man.
That's my personal experience. If you think I couldn't walk out my door and make a zillion bucks with a televangelist ministry, you ain't got a brain cell in your head. That ain't the point. The point is love.
Try preaching some love, instead of some god; maybe people won't be hating on you.
