Who did the Holy Ghost speak to that did not want anything to do with God? The Pharasees fit that bill (Meaning their was plenty of oppertunity) but did not ever speak to one of them directly or rather did not speak to them in a way the directly understood.

Who? Saul for one, or perhaps yourself as you stated that this Hell dream occurred before you were saved.
Quote:Hell, or rather my brief experience of it.
i posted this on another website and came across it looking for something else. Thought I would share.

This all happened before I was saved. I use to stop breathing while I slept, and I remember one time I was a sleep, but realized I was fairly lucid, but at the same time I could not wake because I had stopped breathing
So unless you are saying that the origin of this dream message was just your own mind playing tricks on you, it would have had to be the holy ghost, right? Yet the holy ghost was talking to you through dreams before you were saved? Why is that? Why don't I get dreams like that from the HG?

Both of these stories sound so much like the "liars for jesus" stories I've heard all of my life. The stories always get better with each retelling.

But, giving you the benefit of doubt, let us suppose that your stories are true. Then have you proposed to the church that your experience be included in the bible yet? The bible is the collection of god's word to man and if the holy spirit said such things to you in any fashion, then the story should be included into the bible for other christians to get inspiration and guidance from.
Find the cure for Fundementia!
