To those who have had supernatural religious experiences, should anyone believe you?

Answer 1

nope. and i dont wouldnt expect anyone to.

its like trying to get me to understand how having a terminal disease feels. or how it feels to have lost a child. its never happened to me.. so there is no way i could understand the pain..
and expecting someone who hasent experienced these things, to understand, is almost impossible.

Answer 2

Why would I care if you believed me or not. My experience is my experience. I know what I experienced, and that is all that matters.

Of course, a person would like to share his/her supernatural experience w/ others and have them accept it as truth, but sadly that is not the case in all situations.

It would be like you telling me you had an encounter w/ an alien. Doubtfull, however, I would be inclined to believe that you are not a liar and, indeed, did have that experience.

Believing that people had supernatural experiences takes a very open mind and trust in other peoples word.

Answer 3

I don't know how you can expect that, and I believe I've had supernatural experiences. You can easily show somebody what a pomegranate Slurpee or an extra-hot shower is like, but supernatural experiences are hard to duplicate.

Answer 4

Who cares?

If someone had them, such experiences will forever be part of their faith. Other Christians have the things related in the Bible, that suffices for them.

That not all things are easy to explain may perhaps be understood by looking at this picture, pic #4 and read the text. Be sure to enlarge it to see if the claim is plausible or not.

If you share the opinion there or not is of no import. Nonetheless, not all things are meat and potatoes.

Answer 5

Does it really matter if someone else believes you? Experience is the spice of life. This is the food of growth! The point is to have the experience and then relax and have another...

Answer 6

Are you asking this question for your benefit or ours? I've had experiences that still to this day I can not explain and I will share my stories with anyone who wants to know them. All I ask is that you listen with more than half an ear and with an open mind.

Answer 7

not my own personal experiences no
I would not expect anyone to believe anything without personal proof

those who do believe me , know me and my character.... trust is an issue with any tales of supernatural

Answer 8

Absolutely NOT!!!

Good question!

Far Far FAR too many people go flocking to some supernatural occurance within the church. False visionaries abound.

If you hear of such a thing, stay right were you are, give glory to God and leave it be. Don't go running off to see a visionary. Don't go running off to see the face of Jesus in a tree. Jesus himself tells us not to in the Gospels.

Answer 9

I wouldn't care if anyone believed me or not. What matters is that I know the truth. Just like all the people who think I'm crazy because I believe my house is haunted. You know what? You don't know what I've seen and heard, so think what you want about me. I know what happened, and that's all that matters.

Answer 10

Believe me?
Sure.
There is physical evidence of God's
supernatural answer to my prayers.

But then, people only believe what they WANT to believe, in spite of evidence.

Answer 11

no, because it's outside of someone's experience who you would even try to explain it to. Those experiences are not logical within the box we have been conditioned to think in. It's a shock when it happens, a good shock but it can be frightening because it can blow away your sense of security.
