Hello. I would not consider myself a religious person but... a few months ago one night when I was lying in bed trying to fall asleep I saw the image of Jesus appear before me ( i know he wouldnt really look as he is often depicted in the media but its the only way I'd realize what im looking at i suppose) but I saw him. draped in white ropes clear to my eyes in the dark of night. I could have been my imagination but even if it was the sight of this made me feel over come with powerful feelings of warmth, happiness and joy where as it seemed that any sort of negative emotion were non-existant.... I found this expierence to be a wonderful thing... I tired to tell my friends abuot it. but none of my friends believe in jesus or anything religious... they dont understand.. So i share these things on forums. I do believe in God and Jesus but i do not look at it in a religious aspect.... any thoughts on my experience..?

but seriously..

how can you belive in god and his son jesus.... but not religiously.. perhaps im missing something here.

why ELSE would you "believe" in them?
HOW else can you "believe" in them?

what about the poor holy spirit?

for without him you can not have the others

I agree with the stupid/confusing quote, but do you have to be so confrontational to the newb? Everybody likes a good debate around here, but getting in peoples' faces certainly doesn't win you any friends.

Perhaps because he had a vision.

Faith and visions just like everyone else.

The holy spirit is not a separate being but the representation of God presence on earth. So God is the Holy spirit. So the Holy spirit is there.

Why dont you believe? Are you one of those whinny types who hold a grudge against "something they dont believe in" or are you one of those who doesnt believe simply because you dont like the idea of having something more in your life such as faith and spiritual belief?

ok.. so you actually believe jesus appeared infront of this person?

Hey Marco!!
I believe you had a vision, IMO. Experiences such as these can turn a person around, change their entire outlook on spirituality. It's a remarkable experience, and one you won't likely forget about too soon.

Btw, ignore Zombie brains, he wouldn't nor couldn't understand apparently. :} bless his heart.

Yea, we'd be lost for sure!...

Yes because unless we were there or can read this guys mind we dont know. Speculation can be made that is not who he seen. But the same speculation can be made that it was God that he saw. Your personal attack is a feeble attempt to get your rock off at a believer of God. If you dont believe, fine but not believing doesnt give you the right to bash him for believing what he saw. The topic is asking if anyone has had a similar experience. I dont think he was asking for anyone to attack his beliefs.

Complain to Mohammed too, will ya, he's not doing much of nothing either..

Since when were we suppose to live in a perfect world sour puss?
These things you complain about, do something about it!
It's MAN thats causing his own misfortunes here, not God.

you need to relax mate. I'm not trying to say that Christ returned to earth to give me an exclusice appearance... and anything that could cause happiness is not pointless. people like you are why there are wars over religion

Yeah He's lightning quick with the comebacks I see.... ....B









countdown until forgotten.. 10...9....8...7.....

no it actually asked for thoughts on the experience.

and yes i know i can come across the wrong way

but be honest with yourself.

but ok.. assuming jesus is real.. you think he would appear infront of this kid while he was in bed?

i dont doubt this kid saw something.. i cant argue with this.. hell i saw pennywise the clown appear infront of mybed last night.. yay...

why did jesus appear infront of this kid? why not the other people who belive in this nonsense?

you sound jealous... envy is a sin you know

so how do u know it was jesus then

You got that straight, your attitude sucks.

This "kid" isn't saying Jesus himself appeared. He is saying he experienced a vision of something that to him, was Jesus. Whether you believe it or not, Zombie, people do have these experiences more than you realize and they are spiritually intended..

yes MAN who belive that GOD wrote that "GOOD BOOK"
yes MAN who cant make a decision in life without refering to that evil "GOODBOOK"

Lookie here, my granny had a NDE. She died literally, and these people she called angels lifted her up and took her up into another realm... To her, these beings were angels.. She apparently got this impression b/c that is what first came to her mind.. that is what made sense by what appeared, from what she personally experienced.. the same for Marco here I would imagine.

YES, IT IS A FACT THAT MAN ABIDES BY THE GOOD BOOK, that is why our world is PERFECT NOW.... < >

ones spelling and grammer (which i will admit is bad) is your only argument. please stay out of it.

and who ever wrote

"This "kid" isn't saying Jesus himself appeared"

look at the topic.

Yes, zombiepal does sound rather <cough> left out. again bless his sweet heart.

the topic titles are jsut to hook people into reading the actual topic.

dont get me started on NDE's

why is it that people automaticly assume that its something GOOD spiritualy...
i mean sure its nice to belive that stuff... when loved ones pass on etc

but it shouldnt be the FIRST explanation we an come up with?? there are alot of scientific reasons for these NDEs we should explore before assuming that its us entering into another realm

how much of it is all in your head..expectations from when you WERE living.. what was forced fed into you... and i mean as for the whole bright light thing.. well there are certain drugs which i wont mention which can almost perfectly simulate the experiences that NDE people report.. bright light... and all..

yo man.. why do you gotta rain on everyones parade. we should all unite and not let our differences seperate us

To HIM it was a vision of JESUS... what's so difficult to comprehend about this???????


this isn't saying Jesus himself appeared! A (vision) of what he thinks as JESUS appeared...

Why do you find his experience, or his view on what he saw so disturbed... ?

i dont find it suprising im outnumbered by people who belive things without any evidence and just like to belive other peoples claims
i mean we are on a unexplained mysteries website..
but how about we stick to arguing the topic... not how out numbered, illiterate and stupid i am.

cmon my arguments are not THAT good... shoot me down spirit people!!! yay

I have brought up NDEs and there is NO scientific PROOF proving it's all in the head, Zombiepal!

No drugs hun she had this experience in 1932... after drowning in a pond, her brothers brought her back.... forget the drugs crapolla. This was before all this stuff even came up.. before anyone ever heard of such things.. because of this she kept quiet for many years...

whatever you say, since you experienced this yourself.

im not saying she took drugs

im saying the brain is a EXTREMEY complicated thing... one malfunction can have a snow ball affect on many other aspects of the brain... im sure... ALMOST DYING can kinda shake that piece of meat up in our skull a fair bit.. i just dont think its fair to automaticly assume a devine event happend just becuase someone had something very similar to a DREAM while they were unconcious.

I'm personally not shooting you down. You were shooting down Marco fella

Just as you say there is no proof in such things, there is no proof it doesn't exist either.

She was dead.

Now, what does God have to do with barek getting board?

Zombie, do you have to blame God for everything..?

If you couldn't hear, see, feel, smell, or touch- what have you left?.. These things are physical. There is more to us than that.

Judging by your avater, you are a French Canadian, correct? Roman Catholic? Am I warm atleast?

Anyway, three reasonable possibilities:

1. You were dreaming
2. Your eyes were playing tricks on you
3. A bit of both

4 Or visons of JESUS

That basicly sums it up Sunni

guess that would explain the sourpuss attitude alright.

I think you and barek got it sealed up with the mirror and eyeliner comments....

No it isn't. What is your argument? and you didn't answer my questions regarding the senses--

Now, this is pathetic right here. This isn't attacks?

Most emo/goths strive for negative attention, if this is the case with basicly four pages bashing this idiot I think he got his rocks off.

Now he can cry and wine about everyone hating him and can have "ANOTHER" reason to cut himself.

Aside from that I bet he is allready running to his room for somefor mirror fun!!!!!!

Go ahead and Psycho-Analyze me..... I'm ready..

ok i can see this is pointless...

but i guess this is what to expect in a spirituality forum.. stupidity..
think ill stick with the skeptics forum.. more sense going on there.

times like this i wish things like THIS could be in person. How interesting it would be then.

If it was in person you wouldnt have the time to post such lame comebacks. As I said before get a life. I'll be looking for you in the skeptic forum.

More interesting that this boring board, I can assure you--

And you talk as if you've offered something here other than your insults?

Your argument Zombie is fairly simple: "Zombie Jesus." that's about it. means nothing. makes no sense, and is complete "stupidity!"

ok heres a link

http://www.unexplained-mysteries.com/forum...=96494&st=0

its called page one.

read it over.

catch ya.

god bless.

Ok was that supposed to be with some humor? If it was, I totally missed that laugh.



anyhoo.

no no one has seen 'christ' before. but I believe plenty may have seen what they have been taught to imagine god is. real or not is another matter.


I when putting my portfolio together in a week for my entrance into art school ( yes I had put it off till the last week! it was crap) had a dream I was in the playground of my elementary school with my nephew as I walked him to school there ( which indeed I did) and out of the sky came this small glowing gold light and in the center I could tell was a figure. I knew it was JC himself. Of course I was ecstatic ( actually happier than I had ever been or ever have been since ) and I had a ton of questions . when fully there all I could stumble out was like Mayor Ed Koch " how am I doing?" which in retrospect was probably the best question I could have asked. He answered "good" and the strange part was he didn't verbally say it , but thought it. ( I didn't think it strange until waking).

Now of course I dreamt of 'god' as I understood god. If I had been Buddhist it would have been Buddha instead of some Caucasian version of Jesus like I had dreamt of. Since I had never thought of the ethnicity of 'jesus' I dreamt of a white one like me. blond hair ect ................. that's not how jesus looked.

if indeed he existed , he would have looked like this


Just goes to show you , God takes the form we are taught , not as it is.

who is to say 'jesus' or some physical manifestation of god didn't ?

I believe LT. that dream was remarkable in itself.

& I can agree. In our own mind is who we see, these images, or vision, dreams, (NDEs) etc,. go along with our own beliefs.. That is the reason why I'm so convicted that the importance is spiritual, to become aware of that. That it's spirit that is so important, and NOT religion itself. When we die, there is no religion. Our spirit & other heavenly beings, with our creator.. imo

The eternal Christos is the ever-coming and redeeming Logos, imo.

Peace,

RadicalGnostic

Did he look like this?
