What's her name? In what part of China did this happen, and when? Has she witnessed elsewhere (besides YouTube)? What are their names? Where are they from? Did you find the right url? What was it like, if you don't mind sharing? I don't recall older posts about it, but I may have missed or...

@Dragon, does the absence of any one of those disqualify any experience? Some theists I've known (or known of), including Christians, who have claimed to have met God have said their experiences and the messages they received were of a private nature. And I remember a story by one visionary...

@Carl, no, no, no, and no. The second question is probably the most slippery, since the Council of Nicaea decided which books to include. Still, no. If I understand where you're coming from, you're of the opinion that one who hears God's voice will have no doubt that it's God's voice. Thus any...

I made this for RileyG and friend of but anyone else, feel free to join. Have you considered fostering cats/kittens? I'm not sure about Canada, but the USA has far too many state shelter cats and strays per foster home and, last I heard, only seven 24-hour kitten nurseries nationwide. Just to...

Oooooops... :blush:

@Carl[/url] I suppose it's both, and possibly worse. :(

I forgot the NT citation, John 5:22. Sorry!

That God owns all the souls as an author owns all his characters. Thus, no one else can have them unless he chooses to give or perhaps to license them. @Maria, I meant I thought one of the conditions must be true, not both. Also, in the New Testament, Jesus says Jehovah doesn't judge anyone...

If this means what I think it means, then it seems to me that either: 1. Ezekiel was deceived (unfortunately for one of my favorite Old Testament moments :( ) OR 2. any entity telling you to that God wants you to commit your soul to it (or to another entity) is not to be trusted, since your...

Some visionaries have said that if you encounter God or receive a message from God, there will simply be no doubt. But many have said that one must learn to recognize God's voice, appearance, etc., to avoid deception by devious spirits or even by oneself. If you encounter an entity claiming to...

Speaking of people I haven't heard from, does anyone know what happened to Jonaitis? Last I heard, his father had gone missing. That was half a year ago. I hope he's okay. :(

I didn't know he left. Is he on vacation? Is that why I haven't heard from him?

So...hope is scary because it keeps the dead clinging to the shadows of their former lives? Is that how this works? Some preternaturalists say the dead who are "in hell" suffer from denial of their death, because they can't let go the desires they had in life. Do those desires include all their...

That's what I thought, but since annihilationists aren't considered Christians by this site's standards, I thought it would be a good place to learn more about the opposing side's view of immortality and damnation. (To be clear, yes, I'm referring to life after death, since that seems to be the...

Are you saying a person's own prayer never influences his belief or that others' prayers never do? I'd like to see if you and Wyatt can reconcile your apparent disagreement, but I know this isn't the kind of forum for that.

If God's power isn't keeping them alive, then what is? Are there eternal things beyond God? outside of God? If God's power is keeping them alive, then what purpose could it possibly serve, since they can't do anything except to feel pain?

Interesting thought.

Did you ever tell Apple what happened with the child account? If not, you need to, and soon. :shock:

Me, or him? My prayer thread is over there. This one is for my friend.

I ask you to pray for my suicidal friend. :( He took his life years ago, but I've been thinking of him lately. To be honest, I must admit I never really understood the purpose of praying for the dead. To be fair, I must admit I never really understood the purpose of praying for the living...
