If so, what was it? Would it be foolishness to unbelievers and does it support the foundation and the resolve of your Faith? Did it change your life? Give you peace? Give you hope? Strength? How did your experience affect you the most? Are you a better person because of it?

BIBLE STUDENT
I have been a bible student since 1963.
I have searched out the bible to put forth every effort to see if it is the history of man and of the world and how much time it covers and if it is just made for money or is it real.
It is real, so real and the most complex book a sinful human with all the limitations we have ever tried to understand.
That is the reason for one book and 1000 religions.
It as the Old Testament was written after Genesis and Job was compiled, as it happened 1110 years to 443 before Christ. It takes years to pull it together. Does it cover the history of the world.
About how much time does it allow one to estimate as to age of the earth?
Why would it give any time after Adam to Christ and time after Christ.
How many people can go through the bible and come up with the same time given?
The bible says that the word of God is foolishness to the average man. The bible does not lie, this has got to be the truth.
A seeker for truth is a seeker for truth, if the bible does not have it, then it is no where to be found in the world. I love the world of God. I know where all people stand and all the efforts made to save humankind.
In the final cleansing of the earth to be the new earth, if any be LOST, self is to blame.

I had experiences as a Christian that caused me to think about my faith and the Bible, and other religion's faiths, and the nature of human belief in general. It's not just one experience, but the multiple interactions with people and religious discussions and reading. Over the years I gained a lot of insight into what Christianity is and the nature of religion and the nature of being human.
It did change my life. It did give me peace and hope and strength. My experiences and my research and introspection changed me the most by making me realize that there are no gods. Now I'm an atheist and I have been for the over 20 years. I think it definitely made me a better person.

I've had too many to count. But the ongoing experience that I have with the Lord is the most descriptive. So, here it is. I am a very sinful person. We all are, of course. But some people's sins are more obvious than others. Mine are obvious. You would think that a person as bad as me would really be suffering continuously because of the things I have done in my life. But God has been so merciful and forgiving towards me that I can't help but be grateful. And I mean very grateful. So, the 23rd Psalm rings very true to me, especially the part that says, "Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life". Because that is exactly what has happened in my life. God's goodness and mercy have followed me my entire life. And sure, it would seem foolish to unbelievers. But, there again, God is proven to be correct. Because He warned us that we would seem foolish to unbelievers. But in the end, every knee will bow down to Jesus Christ, and every tongue shall confess that He is Lord. Then, all the arguing and disbelief will be over.
Jesus Christ changes my life for the better every single day. He has given me peace that passes understanding. He has definitely given me hope and strength. Am I a better person? Not in the human sense except for the fact that some of my actions have changed. But in the spiritual, I am most definitely better.
The world can take everything away from me except my faith. And, praise be to God through Jesus Christ, my faith is the only thing I need. If I'm ever tortured, I can better identify with the sufferings of my Lord. If I'm ridiculed, I can better identify with the way Jesus felt while He was here on earth. If I'm killed because of my faith, He went through it all first. He taught me everything I need to know - how to love, how to give, how to live, and how to die. And He has given me the certain hope of eternal life through Him. No one can ever take that away from me. Peace.

Yes, my cousin who had just went to college was tempted by Satan to jump out of his window because he said he was God and that was his will. So he jumped head first 3 stories onto the ground. Several days before this happened I felt like I needed to pray for him so I did. Later I found out that he jumped head first but only suffered a broken leg, a miracle! He should have been hurt a lot worse or even dead.
He said that God saved his life! His leg healed in just a few weeks with no problems! Nobody can tell that that Satan isn't real and that an Almighty God isn't real either!

I was diagnosed with Crohns disease in1989. I had had surgery in 1999. I was in the hospital bed, with tubes down my nostrils, in intense pain, and i couldn't sleep. I prayed to god to please take my pain away, so i could sleep. No longer than 5 seconds after my plea, i looked to my right and saw an angelic figure-it was instantly that i felt relaxed and out of pain. Every since that experience, my faith has been strong, and he has not let me down yet. It made me a better person too, it taught me to not sweat the small things, give it over to him, AND HE WILL FIX IT!!
