You couldn't have, to you He does not exist.
Exactly why he put it in quotes GC. Once again you miss the whole point. What he felt was real ... because feelings and emotions ARE real. The Holy fucking Spirit on the other hand is just the name you assign those emotions.
You just can't tell someone who was a christian for 15 years that, "well, you weren't a REAL christian." It's a bull shit copout. Especially when some of these former god-suckers were pastors and missionaries.
Arrogant SOB.
A person should say I felt something emotional, not that they felt God when they believe He doesn't exist.
Yes I can say they were not a true christian, when they relate their Christian experience was phony, just like you. To have been an authentic Christian means that even though you changed your position, you would not deny that Christ is who he says He is. The arrogance falls on you brother, I'm just relating the truth, if it bothers you then quit reading my post.
God loves those who believe and those who do not and the same goes for me, you have no choice in this matter. That puts the matter of total free will to rest.
