I'm surprised, if you're an ex-christian, that you are not aware of what my viewpoint is on this, according to scripture. That is because of demonic oppression people receive counterfeit experiences of God (or whatever) backed up with supernatural evidence. What is interesting, as I showed in those videos, that Muslims who are predisposed to see Allah, and who hate Christianity, saw visions of Jesus instead.
I wasn't an ex-christian. I was an ex-buddhist. While I appreciate your help, I really do not think religion is the answer.
about the vision.
What did Jesus looks like? Long-haired long-beared man that looks caucasian? The typical image? You see, most of these people who claimed to see their deity(ies) saw the "typical" image of their worship. Once again, it is just how our brain sorts out information and connecting it to what it could relate to. Christians see Muhamad and Buddhist see Jesus and Christian see Buddha. Who knows!
How come he left out stigmata's? Stigmata's are obviously the sign of the supernatural. Oh wait he's probably not Catholic. http://www.csicop.org/si/show/stigmata_o...an_bernas/
I have studied the Bible and the theology behind Christianity for many years. I have been to many churches. I have walked the depth and the breadth of the religion and, as a result of this, I have a lot of bullshit to scrape off the bottom of my shoes. ~Ziploc Surprise
