Reply #1: Actually, true Christianity [View All]

[Wright Patman]

as reflected in the words of Jesus Christ, who may be invisible now but was very visible for a while there, dictates no different an attitude than that which you have.

Spirituality is very subjective. I cannot transmit to you the experiences I have had in life during which I have no doubt that an extraterrestrial spiritual being was there with me and intervened for me.

I had a Near Death Experience on November 9, 2003. A Chevrolet Suburban (very heavy vehicle) ran off the road into me going 40 mph, catapulted me 15 feet into the air and threw me about 90 feet after I was hit head-on by its grille and then bounced off its windshield.

If anything like that were ever to happen to you, I would not have to explain to you why I am a believer. The only thing that survives this life is love. An angel or messenger or whatever you want to call the entity clearly told me that when I was at the point of death and also told me I was being miraculously spared. He/she/it really didn't tell me why (clearly I expected to die as the SUV was bearing down on me), but I had made peace with being dead. I just knew that if I lived through it, I was commanded by this spirit to be a conduit of pure love. It is hard to do, but I try. My several decades of life passed before my eyes and all that. It seemed as if my whole life had just been a dream that was now over. Toda La Vida Es Sueno as the poem from my Spanish class described life.

So, I conclude--from my miraculous experience from which I fully recovered after being in critical condition for several days--that there really is an afterlife and love is the only real force, if you could call it that, that is eternal. So if you have no love, there is no afterlife for you. It all makes perfect sense and also is consistent with the teachings of Jesus, who had only two commandments, both dealing with the topic of love.
