Country singer says visit from Jesus on her porch changed her life

Yeah, why don't you do everything you can to disbelieve in Jesus, and see how that works out for you.

Or the counter to that, go out of your way to believe all the incredible religious claims, and see precisely where that leaves you when you finally take your dirt nap.

I'm just wondering why, on your way over to India, you don't want to interview all those Muslims who are having their dreams and visions about Jesus?

Who are "all these Muslims"? And I'm not referring to ambiguous claims from Christian websites and videos.

Your anti-Jesus clap-trap isn't fit for the bottom of a bird cage.

Just Google "Muslims dream about Jesus"

Do it.

This seems to be a diversionary tactic. I take it you can't show non-Christian sources about muslims doing so.

Why is it you never hear about some born-and-raised-in-America white person ever saying they had a religious encounter with Shiva? Or Vishnu? Or even Mohammed?

Has there ever been a story where a person, who was born and raised as an American Christian, was visited by some “god-like” entity that wasn’t Jesus?

Suppose Messina had said she exactly what she said in the article, but instead of Jesus she’s said it was Siddhartha Gautama?

Millions believe that Jesus not a God. They believe Jesus IS God. Not Shiva. Not Vishnu. Not Mohammed. None were/are God. Jesus is God.

So for the people who believe that, yes there are personal encounters with the living Christ/Jesus/God. It is not possible to have a personal encounter with somebody who was not God and has long been dead.

Precisely. The only hits I got on his query suggestion was nothing Christian-sourced material.

And yet no Hindu's or Buddhists have met "Jesus" either.

No more conjecture than you saying no Hindus or Buddhists have met Jesus.

I haven't seen any? Have you? How then does that qualify as "conjecture"?

Why is that? You can have personal encounters with anyone imaginary.

So yeah....I'm skeptical.

Did she get some smartphone video? A selfie with Jesus? Anything that might actually provide some evidence of this encounter being factually true?

Also, wtf is this part?



Argued? Seriously?
If you believe you're talking to Jesus, would you "argue" with him?

All day long?
She was alone with "Jesus" all day long, and nobody else saw any of it?

So much about this "story" is bizarre.

So my question is, does anyone actually believe it's true?

Oh wait, you said country singer...she’s fine then.

Ahhh….it's the believer's choice if people go from polite skepticism to ridicule, huh... lol... That's like saying if your wife didn't want to get hit, she shouldn't talk back.

I mean, this is an interesting conversation, and all, it's fun to watch you guys do your schtick, but ultimately most people would either go with "whatever" or "nice" on this one. People who want to twist themselves into a pretzel over it, or be ugly, are free to do so...people do things that don't matter all the time. :)

What does your made up wife example have to do with keeping your personal life private? Maybe you just disagree politely with your wife. Is anyone here doing the equivalent of hitting someone for expressing their beliefs? Your schtick tries to make all skepticism of religious claims into some kind of violent assault.

Maybe Jesus was a hot Mexican guy.

I don't need to show the enemies of Christ anything to feed their folly.

That is a diversionary tactic, since if someone had a rational and reasonable response, it wouldn't be anything to 'feed folly'. Of course, that makes the original statement someone who is more 'the enemy of CHrist' than any skeptic

That's your view, right - that if it's a Christian source then they must all be liars and/or charlatans? You should rise above that kind of biased nonsense, OM and look at each presentation.
