I believe that you actually have to LIVE with God (not just talk about him) every day to have such encounters; and that childlike innocence and
wonder that I talked about before and that the Bible mentions certainly helps as well. I think some of the most judgmental Bible thumpers will have a
rude awakening when at the end of their lives they'll find out what the things were that really counted -- loving acceptance and goodwill toward
others, vs. a dogmatic and self-righteous attitude.
Well I certainly agree with that, Sylvie, I am near sick of this behaviour, it speaks of a lower intelligence that is un-educated and in direct denial
of our Creed, and Motto here at ATS;
Deny Ignorance. People tell me I am far from God, that I am a Heretic and a Blasphemer, and in league with
Satan's Demonic Army....Well, let's just say I have been
"JUDGED." I think their book has a rule
against that, but then, they do not read the book, do they? They are prone to quote from it exponentially and sometime without honour, and instead of
listening to the messages they made the messenger into a God, and then deem to know what it thinks, and wants. And they make it difficult to get any
kind of valid point across, not to mention, if you ask a
question of them they take
everything out of context, and forget the question completely.
I know beyond any doubt they will get a wake up call, but why not just accept now that they do not have a lock on Truth?
