rjh4 sorry about the confusion I have some other conversations along the same lines going on but I have edited the name and attributed the quote to you. I did not say you were trying to prove anything I merely stated that you needed to prove those so called statements of fact that you so boldly made based on "what goes on inside you".
I was once were you are rjh4 I too felt the presence of the lord around me, read the scriptures and had eureka moments where I thought the spirit was revealing something to me that I was previously unaware of, believed that every single word in the bible was the living word of god manifested through his spirit, and that living a spiritual life allowed for the holy spirit to communicate freely with my spirit at the time. But in the end I have come to realize that all those feelings and emotions I once felt were completely subjective and that emotions and feelings could not be trusted. Emotions and feelings are heavily influenced by outside forces such as education or lack thereof, in the case of religion indoctrination, etc.

There is nothing people will not maintain when they are slaves to superstition
