You could have saved a lot of time by simply saying I believe everything in the Bible because it's in the Bible. BTW, what's in the Bible was dec ...[text shortened]... f years AFTER any of it was written. But I suppose the Holy Spirit was in them cuz they said so.

There is a Holy Spirit because I've experienced it exactly to be as the Bible says it to be.

Since this claim is utterly preposterous it is no wonder you find it sooooooooooooooooo convincing.

I find your gratuitous use of the letter 'o' to be unconvincing.

Actually, no. You might feel that way, given your stated allegiance to Jesus. I'm just fine, thanks for asking.

I suppose we will only find out when we die. But I suppose it will then be too late to change anything.

Maybe you "experienced" the Holy Spirit in that way because that what your mind wanted even though it has no objective reality. Maybe you experienced it that way because that's what you had been told would happen by others who were irrational. In other words, maybe you are delusional and need psychiatric care.

Someone once told me that a person is very unsure of his own beliefs if he spends his time attacking and insulting someone else's beliefs.

I'm toooooooo lazy to find a good synonym for "so", so expanding the "o" is used to indicate very high degrees of the next word.

So, it's on to Nursery School Scare Tactics. Not surprising. Is that how your "Ministry" operates on the natives?

I pray that you will oneday see the light.

All I can say to you is this, "You will know the truth and the truth will set you free."

So you speak in tongues and collapse into a heap occassionally? Sounds so unnecessary, don't you think?

Do you have a theory as to where the Holy Spirit disappeared to during the thousands of years when there was no such thing as Christians speaking in tongues? Only in the past century or so have sects of Christianity brought back glossolalia as a part of worship. Particularly Pentecostals during the early 19th century.

You actually might like this: Mark 16 is about how to tell who the authorized preachers are.
Poison anyone?

The Holy Spirit is on vacation and says...
Away for the mext millenium or so, I would appreciate your patience until my return. If you think 1800 years is a long time, don't even ask about my other personality Jesus' return date...

If all God is, is a matter of study, any god would do would they not?
