Have you heard about the "angel" that told him the future?

So again if someone out of the blue were to lay out every major event in your life, and told you He was from God, and gave you a list of things to focous on, would you brush it off even if everything he said started to unfold as he said it, or would you do as you were instructed?

If in your heart of hearts you would brush it off, then ask yourself why God would bother saying anything to you?

In your original retelling of the story, you wrote that he claimed to be a psychic (his words) and that he asked if you wanted to hear what the Lord had in store for you. You inferred that he was an angel from him interrupting his talking when you thought in your mind that he must be an angel, and that he responded "something like that." According to your original retelling, he did not say he was an angel from God, and since you don't know for certain why he responded with the "something like that" comment, you cannot be sure he meant to affirm that he was an angel or indeed what, if anything, he was affirming. Now a year later, you claim he told you that he was from God. Just as the stories in the Gospels get more elaborate and involved with the retelling from Mark to John, so your story has developed and grown. I wonder now if you even had a dream of hell, or if, as is not uncommon, you imagined a dream or an encounter with this man, and later mistook it for a memory. Regardless, your testimony is obviously not worth a plugged nickel. This is the sort of embellishment one might expect of both misremembered tales as well as made up bullshit. Since it's obvious your tale has grown with the retelling over the course of a year, we have every reason to suspect that nothing like what you recounted a year ago actually happened, and every reason to believe you are just another victim of your own ego and self-deception. Thanks for confirming what we already knew.
