People make such comments of other belief systems especially those belief systems they formerly belonged to.



So how does it matter?

Some may have encountered Christianity a man of the cloth, a priest, a nun or any member of the clergy, some may have encountered Christianity from a member of the laity and others still a particular denomination or religious organisation of sorts.

And then again, others may have encountered The Way from a spiritual being either positive or negative, a guru, a book, television programme, perhaps even the Bible.

And then again, others encountered Christianity through meeting the living Jesus and has had discourse with him.

What form of encounter did you have?
I have had numerous encounters.

Virtually all of the encounters I have had were extremely positive.

This pretty much looks like a well crafted Maya El/Barnum statement.

I see, a communion with the Father & Son during prayer. And I feel this communing prayer is very important in one's walk, to be able to access theyre Prescence at will.

The thing that nobody can't even try to explain is when Christ appears to people that had no christian background.You'll not hear a christian talking about meeting any other religious figure out of nowhere, but you will hear the other talking about meeting Christ when they were not even christian.What's more interesting is that there are many cases where children meet Christ, having not even the slightest idea that He is the Christ, and years later, when they by chance became christian, they recognize Christ's words from the Bible and they make the connection that the person they met was this Christ, that the Bible talks about.

This is what I noticed when reading their stories.

I know and have read about Christians who perceive other Enlightened Masters, if you have an open mind that is. Fundamentalists will subconsciously block others out but not an opened minded Christian.

I feel that you are looking with a predetermined opinion and are actually looking for confirmation instead of understanding.
There are many reasons for the situation that you speak of and to name a few would be
#1 Christian bloggers and or websites posting content that reinforces there belief system from a 1 sided viewpoint.
#2 people wanting attention will do anything including lie for it.
#3 we record everything that we see smell hear tuch and taste and regardless of if we remember contusly or not it will still play a part in are experiences without us knowing and so although they may say that they have never heard of jesus before the experience there's a extremely good chance that somewhere somehow they have been exposed the the world's most popular religion of all time.
#4 even if they have never been exposed to anything Christian all there life they can still experience a Christian experience because of the collective belief impression effect where in a large group can learn a new thing/task/tech and even on a different continent the same species will naturally pick up on it and depending on the amount of people already doing it the impact can range from just learning faster all the way to doing the exact same thing only without training or encouragement and so seeing as Christianity is the #1 belief system in the world they can be imprinted with the experience regardless of if it's TRUE or not.

You have to remember the spirit realm is 10x more complex then the physical world and so just like people lie and trick others in this world so too there are lies and deceptions in the spirit realm and so just because someone "feels" it to be true that don't mean jack.

angel or saint intervention stories when my aunt and I would walk their dog.
Later, getting confirmed by Bishop Fulton J. Sheen was a highlight!

But, the most important are my Divine Visitations - as in ---wow, earth stopping moments.

Prepare yourself for the coming astral journey of death by daily riding in the balloon of God-perception.
Through delusion you are perceiving yourself as a bundle of flesh and bones, which at best is a nest of troubles.
Meditate unceasingly, that you may quickly behold yourself as the Infinite Essence, free from every form of misery. ~Paramahansa's Guru's Guru

Why should I expect a confirmation when my words are based on the stories that people told? Have you ever heard about Akiane Kramarik? She clearly had a meeting with Christ and her family had nothing to do with religion, there are many other just like this girl.

Have you ever heard of someone meeting a religious figure but prior to this having no idea who that religious figure was? Most of the people who meet a religious figure in their dreams have knowledge of this religious figure, my point is that there are many who met Christ, but they had no idea that it was actually Christ.They usually become aware of His identity some time later.
