> As a note to the previous post of mine, I had no biblical knowlege outside of rudimentary knowlege of the bible that children would be aware of when I had my experiance. So when it was pointed out to me by others, like yourself, but many years ago, that what I was telling people about my experiance was contained in those bibles that you mentioned, then I became very aware that there was [validation] of my experiance [to me].
> So I began to tell others and recieved rejection and scorn and ridicule and was despised by the people that I knew, except for a few.
> LouThat being the case Lou, have you ever questioned the validity of Christ's experience? That's exactly what happened to Him too. He was scorned and ridiculed, despised by all except a few. You have experienced the emotions including the love of Christ, and you know him better than you think you do. Give it a try Lou, give it a try. Out of curiosity, have you ever read the Book of Mormon? Christ is referred to directly or indirectly on nearly every page. The Book of Mormon will help you with your understanding of who Jesus really is. As the title page says, it is for the Jew and the Gentile, to show that God has remembered his covenants to the House of Israel.
I am sorry you have been ridiculed for such a wonderful experience. I have not ridiculed you, just questioned you on some of the quotes.
God speaks the same words to people of all ages and is the same yesterday, today, and forever.
