I died. I was jumped over a girl I was dating by two guys. I just got home from a party and was very drunk. I later found out I can alcohol poisoning. I was lying in bed and heard my mother screaming outside and I noticed a light shining through my window. I ran outside because I thought my mom was being hurt. All of a sudden, I am being punched in the face. It took the guy about 5 -6 punches to get me on the ground. When he did, he started kicking me. He kicked me until I looked like elephant man. I rolled over as I was passed out. Vomited and inhaled it, collapsing my lungs. I lied there suffocating for several minutes. I remember feeling intense pain to the point that I could not take it anymore. I was shot into visions where I was going through every moment I had ever experienced in my life. I remember it happening backwards. From end to beginning. I remember seeing myself being held by my mother. Her telling me she loved me. Then I was in a room, and I was standing in front of a bed. I saw a little girl sitting in the middle of the bed around 1-3 years old holding her arms out for me to pick her up. She had a little ponytail sticking straight up. I walked towards the baby but soon as I did, I was shot all of sudden in the air. Everything got warm, numb, I felt better than I had ever felt in my entire life. I started lifting off the ground. I was looking at my own face as I slowly drifting up. I could see the Emt's frantically trying to save my life. I was drifting up, and I remember being able to see, hear, and even look around, and I remember feeling amazing. I looked to see my hands and I had none. I had no body, or even feet. I remember someone floating next to me and everything I thought he answered. I remember questioning everything. Life, Death, the point of all this. I remember him saying "Because I wanted it to". "Because I love you". I never could turn enough to see him. He was just out of reach of my sight. I was not religious at all up until this point. But I knew deep down in my heart that this was Jesus Christ. And nothing ever loved me more than this man could. I was resuscitated and woke up in the Cleveland Clinic a day later full of pain. I remember wanting to go back so bad. I was sad and angry. I felt like I was robbed. Two years later my wife gave birth to a little girl. That little girl looked exactly like the vision I saw in what I call, *My life review*. Jesus is 100% our light and our way. Everyone will get their chance to meet him.

In 2018, I bled out and died on the operating table and I had a similar experience, I remember floating over the operating table listening to the Doctor shouting at one Nurse to hurry up with the Cuff on the I.V. Bag to push blood into me and another nurse to get a larger bore needle into the artery in my other arm to push plasma into me to get my blood pressure back up then I felt a strong pull upwards and the next thing I know I am being shown the glory of Heaven, I felt the Love and Compassion of Heaven then was sent right back and woke up in the recovery room, I did not see GOD or Jesus or any relatives I only saw and felt the love and compassion of Heaven. When the Doctor came into the recovery room I told him about my crazy dream and he turned white as a sheet and told that is exactly what had happened, he told me that while they were removing the bone chip from the shattered L-4 vertebra on my Lumbar spine he cut an artery and I bled out on the operating table and that he shouted at the nurses to do exactly what I just told him about in what I thought was my crazy dream. Now my faith is unshakable.

The brain remains active for several minutes after a person dies. This is a well established medical fact. The brain is one of the last organs to shut down so it's entirely possible for you to have heard things that occured only seconds after your death. The peace and love one feels near death can also be well explained by an evolutionary mechanism to ease suffering during the death process. You can see this is in prey animals that are being eaten alive, a sense of tranquility come over them at a certain point.

The next day she told my dad that she saw him when she was floating above her body and everything that took place. Then she said that there was a medical tool on top of a cabinet in the OR. Dad went to that OR room, got a stool and looked on top of the cabinet. There was a hemostat on top of the cabinet. He was a Christian man and loved to tell this story.

My little sister had cystic fibrosis and she passed away at age 5 in 92. Im 2 years older than she is so I remember very well the events of all that went down as well as my mother she shares the same memory. My sister had been very sick and admitted to Emory hospital in early November and my mother never left her side. While she was admitted I stayed with my grandma (this was common) well anyway... I was in school and my mom and sister picked me up from school and I was soooo excited to see them and on the ride home (we are country people we live a mile in the woods off to ourselves) my sister says " mama, let's pick wildflowers." And it's November so of course there are none (but her favorite thing to do is pick wildflowers) So mama says "baby there are no flowers now we have to wait until spring" and (never misssing a beat, all nonchalant) my sister replied "that's ok I'll pick flowers with Jesus" my mom got so upset and thought someone had told her she was going to die. She said "who told you that you were dying?" She said "Jesus, he told me i have to go soon but it's ok we will pick flowers and wait for y'all" I have never forgotten that in my life. My sister passed away 2 days later. It was the last day before Thanksgiving break at school and her tracher asked her to draw a photo of what she was thankful for. She drew a picture of me, my parents and herself with angel wings and a halo. She had more faith in one hair than most do in a lifetime.

I had a near death experience at 16. I was floating up from my body and I could see myself and the doctors and nurses working on me as I passed them by and floated higher and I had a sudden thought about my mom and how she would cope about me gone and in that split second I got a response telepathically. It was a male voice "even when I talk to myself in my head I still sound like me" and He said He would take care of her and she would be ok. And I trusted Him completely and I KNEW nothing bad would ever happen again. And the feeling, it's indescribable. No words. I felt unfathomable peace and the love and it was beyond anything, I felt I was finally in a family, a big family and I belonged there all this time, like it was the home that truly was mine all along. As I was right below the ceiling for what seemed like a minute maybe 2 I started going back down ( I was being shocked back to life) and I suddenly became really frightened and I started screaming NO NO NO as I started decending and then I entered my body and it was the most awful feeling and I've never been so disappointment. Going back into my body was like putting on heavy wet cold muddy clothes. It was devastating!! I didn't want to go back! But eventually I realized that I needed to KNOW God's supernatural power to experience this immense belonging and love beyond comprehension, I was not meant to stay, but was meant to KNOW. I heard Jesus's voice. The most soothing voice ever. This testimony has given me a confidence that burns to get others saved! And I'm so grateful I had this supernatural experience. Because at the time I didn't know I would be a foot soldier for God and would dedicate myself to fighting for souls for Him. Oh yeah so I've never seen my mother cry except once when she had to deliver the news to me that my father had died. And when I first woke up to my mom crying again with the same pain and anguish I've only seen once and the first thing I said, "who died??"

[@MakingDisciples4Jesus]

@@Pose005 that's a very good question since I didn't receive the infilling of the Holy Spirit till I was 31. However at age 6 I looked up at the sky and invited Jesus in to my life. I had no idea at that age what salvation was nor the gospel nor being saved, I just knew I was afraid not to know Jesus and was eager to have Him in my life and I really wanted Him to love me. I was also born into Catholicism. I was seeking Jesus no Mary nor saints. So yes that's a very good question sadly I have no real answer for. But yes Jesus was already a part of my life.

Some years later, he described the different machines used, the heart/lung substitution for circulating the blood, and the work done by different health personnel in the OR.

The fact the bible says that women found and report the empty tomb is amazing to me. Women's position in Jewish society makes this even more wonderful. They could've come up with a more socially acceptable scenario if they were making it up. Jesus's disciples were shown in the gospel as they were. They didn't sugarcoat their flaws and shortcomings to make a better story. These men actually walked with Jesus and saw him perform miracles. They helped him on his journey to spread the word. These guys were with him on his last day and heard him say he'd be killed and resurrected. When Jesus was at his most vulnerable his closet friends abandoned him. They were running for their lives and seemed to lose faith. When he appeared to them 3 days later the holy spirit stayed within them. Out of the 12 men 10 of them were brutally murdered later spreading the gospel of Jesus. They wouldn't have faced a brutal death if They knew that Jesus's death and resurrection were lies.

Would you sacrifice yourself for something you believed in if you had doubts? Probably not. But if you KNEW it was true, then that changes things doesn't it

@@kaylee1leri1love that can be explained in a way that doesn't need a resurrection. Being a martyr is not new. People have been dying for their beliefs for centuries and it's even happening today.

But when they've seen Jesus died for what he believed, then they believe they had to the same. As in my lord did it, I will follow. Think about it.

On top of that, the historically documented and accepted claims from Non biblical sources that bolster the evidence of their martyrdom. On top of that, explain 500 people claiming to see him at one time; and Paul claiming that the majority of them were still alive at the time of his letter. People could've asked around and verified his claims. Explain Christianity EXPLODING out of Jerusalem, the very place all of this was claimed to have happened, they could've easily verified if it was true or not; the best place to start a religion on a lie wouldn't be the place you're claiming it to have happened. @@lionzion1879

I had an NDE when I was 11 years old. I don't know why they call it that because your not "nearly", dead, your dead and then you're in another existence then your re-entr your body. I suffocated by inhaling too many helium balloons in a row without breathing regular air in between, this causes rapid suffocation. I went up through the ceiling into a vast void full of other souls. I said to one of them, "I don't know what to do" and he replied "Your angel will come get you". then he continued on until I couldn't see him any longer. (Later when I became an adult I was looking through old pictures that my dad had and I finally recognized who that man was, it was my great grandfather who I only met once when I was 2). Then an angel grabbed onto me and took me up towards a brighter and brighter light. But then I heard my older brother shout my name from down below me and as soon as I looked down towards where he was calling me from the angel released me and I fell back down at what was a very fast speed. I passed down through the void into view of my house like coming back into Earth from space, down through the roof and ceiling at the last instant I saw my body on the floor, laying on it's side beside the footstool with my back facing the footstool. I fell into my body an awoke completely aware of where I just was and what I just saw. My body was tingling with pins and needles like when your leg falls asleep really badly except it was everywhere, from head to toe and I was very cold. I started gasping and sat up in shock and began to cry. I was in the exact place and position I saw myself when I was coming back down through the ceiling. But the place where I blacked out was several feet away at the other end of the coutch. I was also standing when I lost consciousness so there's no way I could have known where my body ended up or in what position it was lying in. When I first sat up my two brothers were standing at the bottom of the stairs looking over at me on the floor. My middle brother was kneeling and crying and my eldest was shouting my name and slapping a yard stick on the railing to make a loud noise, I suppose to try to get a response out of me. His was the voice I heard calling me back. I didn't have any idea how long I was gone. Time seemed different there. It could have been hours. My brothers said I was on the floor for several minutes, maybe 5 or 6. I don't know why I'm telling this except that I know what I know, where I was and what I saw and it wasn't this world. I believe in Jesus, His angels, our souls, and the afterlife which should be called the True life.

So either yeshua said these things only to "john" or did not say them to anyone who regarded them as important enough to keep notes on such statements.

I am not athiest, still believe in God, but these questions are very important to me. Alot of things seemed off. In Acts at pentecost, Peter quoted Isaiah or Ezekiel saying in the last days I will pour my spirit on all flesh, Peter considered his day the last day. Which was 2000 years ago. So 6000 years of human history, and in year 4000 was considered the last day. Those are the middle of days not the last days. Jesus said SOME OF you standing hear would not see death, until you see the son of man, coming in glory with the Angels. Yet they all died and Jesus isn't here. So these are great concerns I have. Hope you can address them.

What an enthralling interview! Dr. Habermas brings such an intriguing blend of historical analysis and philosophical insight to the table when discussing the Resurrection of Jesus.

The Evangelical Trump-base is not amenable to facts and even believes that Trump has been established by their god. Romans 13:1-7: "Let everyone be subject to the governing authorities, for there is no authority except that which God has established. The authorities that exist have been established by God. 2 Consequently, whoever rebels against the authority is rebelling against what God has instituted, and those who do so will bring judgment on themselves. 3 For rulers hold no terror for those who do right, but for those who do wrong. Do you want to be free from fear of the one in authority? Then do what is right and you will be commended. 4 For the one in authority is God’s servant for your good. But if you do wrong, be afraid, for rulers do not bear the sword for no reason. They are God’s servants, agents of wrath to bring punishment on the wrongdoer. 5 Therefore, it is necessary to submit to the authorities, not only because of possible punishment but also as a matter of conscience." www.haaretz.com/us-news/.premium-the-real-story-behind-the-nazi-establishment-s-use-of-romans-13-1.6194455

And there are many who are uninformed. On top of that they seek more mundane comforts from the likes of Trump and ignore the really important aspects of what we should have as a Presidential leader. In other words they compromise the presidency. I'm not partisan so I can say we didn't have very much to choose from. Think about that from the Democratic platform we endorse! Concerning the scripture you quoted here, you must look at the context of what it's saying. I hope you are not trying to say that it's condoning a blind endorsement. It is actually talking about living a good life. It condemns doing wrong in light of the powers that be. And that rulers keep the status quo. And (as much as I hate to say it) deserve our respect. And that we should actually pray for them. This is nothing new. The O.T. has graphic examples of how God uses evil rulers to chastise his people and then does away with them himself through other nations. At any rate we are held accountable to the law. It didn't mean any law. It's like I said had to do with good in the Christian context. Because there was a chance of rebelling this would've quashed any attempts at revolution. The reason being that Jesus is quote as saying in the gospel of John " my kingdom is not of this world, if it were my servants would fight to prevent my arrest by the Jewish leaders"... As a consequence these evil Jewish leaders are complicit with the Roman government crucifying Jesus which resulted in humanity's salvation from death by his resurrection. Thus believers are held to a higher standard and to be good citizens by mandate of that kingdom. This a nuanced tricky subject in the bible. Most frustrating would be slavery. But there are reasonable answers, most of all not to subvert the powers that be through violence. In the biblical scheme, if you did do something like that you would be fighting against God's will.

But it’s obvious that the criminal never had the opportunity to be baptized. Him believing that Jesus was who He said He was is what saved him. And if we get to a point in the final days where people don’t have the time to be baptized, yet they also come to faith in Christ at the last moment just like the criminal on the cross did, there’s no reason to not believe those people won’t be saved as well because God is the same yesterday, today, and forever.

[@matrix5175]

I would like to add one more thing on the subject of being baptized. We aren’t saved when we get baptized. But rather, we are saved by God when we “believe” that Jesus is the Son of God, the Messiah, the savior of the world who God sent to be the perfect sacrifice for the sin of the world. Jesus who knew no sin, had the sin of the whole world placed upon Him so we could be forgiven of our sins, be born again by the power of God through the Holy Spirit, and be returned to right standing with God by the blood of Jesus being placed over our heart. So we are saved by faith and faith alone. Being baptized is something we absolutely should do because Jesus was baptized and God’s plan for us is to be baptized and make that public confession of faith. But being baptized is “not” what saves us. God is who saves us when the Holy Spirit comes into our heart the moment we “believe” that Jesus is the Son of God and we ask Jesus to be the Lord of our life. We are saved by faith at that exact moment. Baptism is a righteous act that we perform because it’s part of God’s holy plan of salvation. Baptism does not save us, but rather shows that we have been saved by faith in Jesus. Since we have been saved by faith in Jesus, we are then led to be baptized. Baptism merely shows that we have been saved by God. If we weren’t saved, then we wouldn’t/shouldn’t be getting baptized. Salvation is by faith, not by works or obedience or because we did this right or that right. No, salvation is by faith alone.

The gospel is found in 1 Corinthians 15 1-4. All sin is forgiven for literally ALL People. Meaning nobody is going to hell for sin today but rather for unrighteousness because they never believed the message. If you say people still go to hell for their SINS SPECIFICALLY then you don’t probably believe the gospel. I’m going to give this in detail all of our sins the WORLD’S not just believers the world’s sins are not imputed (charged against us)because God reconciled the world unto himself. 2 Corinthians 5:19 says "To wit, that God was in Christ, reconciling the world unto himself, not imputing their trespasses unto them; and hath committed unto us the word of reconciliation." Our sin was nailed to the cross since Christ was made to be sin for us 2 Corinthians 5:21 "For he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him." If Christ was made to be sin and we compare this verse you will see our sins were nailed to the CROSS of Jesus Colossians 2:14 "Blotting out the handwriting of ordinances that was against us, which was contrary to us, and took it out of the way, nailing it to his cross;" So our sin was nailed to the cross then Christ shed his BLOOD giving us forgiveness. Forgiveness means granted relief of payment see this in the Merriam Webster dictionary or see this example here Luke 7:42 "And when they had nothing to pay, he frankly forgave them both. Tell me therefore, which of them will love him most?" See so when you have nothing to pay you are forgiven! Hebrews 9:22 "And almost all things are by the law purged with blood; and without shedding of blood is no remission." Remission is the cancellation of a debt automatically connecting with forgiveness throughout all of history when blood was shed God forgave sins. Next, Christ shed his blood at the cross making peace Colossians 1:20 “And, having made peace through the blood of his cross, by him to reconcile all things unto himself; by him, I say, whether they be things in earth, or things in heaven." So at the cross Christ shed his blood giving us remission/ forgiveness granting us relief of payment of our sins Ephesians 1:7 "In whom we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of his grace;" So you see we have forgiveness "according to the riches of his grace" we are in the dispensation of grace (God’s time period of Grace) Ephesians 1:3 "If ye have heard of the dispensation of the grace of God which is given me to you-ward:" In this dispensation we are granted relief of payment and don’t go to hell for sins that’s already been paid for. You can’t pay for something twice. The wages of sin is death. Romans 6:23 " For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord." Since Jesus rose again we are no longer in our sins 1 Corinthians 15:17: "And if Christ be not raised, your faith is vain; ye are yet in your sins." I’m going to end this here. The gospel confirms our payment for sin was made through Jesus’s DEATH at the cross and he rose again leaving our sins in the grave he resurrected without our sins. 1 Corinthians 15 1-4 "Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand; 2 By which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain. 3 For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; 4 And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures:" If you believe this message that How that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures, and was buried, and rose again the third day according to the scriptures(the scriptures I put in this message) you are saved. Once you believe this you are Ephesians 1:13 "In whom ye also trusted, after that ye heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation: in whom also after that ye believed, ye were sealed with that holy Spirit of promise," Just believe it’s like drinking a cup of water. Your soul is in your hands.

Such stories are easily forged and very willingly circulated by desperate whisful believers who suffer mightily from the heavy loss. The gosples are very sophisticatedly drafted in order to convey the underlying sense. It's like a tabernacle containing a valuable relic.

I had no control but in a weird way I knew at that moment what my body was doing. Once it became too hard to breathe and the ambulance showed up I asked the medic to gimme a shot to put me to sleep because I didn't wanna know I was dying. I wanted to go while sleep but during that all I wanted to do was go to sleep u know close my eyes. Strangely I was at peace I mean it was so inviting. It's crazy but I really wanted to close my eyes. Tho it was hard to breathe I knew I was close but it was definitely a peaceful feeling to me. I no longer am afraid to die....

In the last year of his life my husband "saw" his father many times. He had loved his dad very much and always missed him after he died many years ago. In the last few days of his life, my husband had a message for us from his father. It was the kind of message that needed a name and address before action could be taken. My husband was insistent but could not give me the information to act so I eventually suggested he had had a lucid dream from which he could not fully awaken. Two days later I suddenly found the answers and indeed, we had received information we very much needed.

@@russellmiles2861 so how do you account for these visions being common for some people and entirely absent for others?

[@russellmiles2861]

@@tracyavent-costanza346 firstly, the hypothesis isn’t that Jesus doesn’t exist. But that they -[God] exist in the celestial sphere. This is what Paul describes. So Jesus could have been seen by many just as Paul described. What you are raising is the Delusional hypothesis- I am not suggesting I didn’t see my son or my younger son was not tucked into bed by his mother. Rather that is a spiritual matter and not subject history or scientific analysis. But as you have raised the delusional hypothesis: sure, groups of people report the same event whether it Vision of Mary, UFOs or zombies. That is nothing unusual. It is often a culturally laden phenomenon. Ie, folk believe they will experience something and they do. What is at issue is the assertion that a Apocalyptic preacher whose fans called Saviour (that is what the Latinised name Jesus means) was executed for sedition and followers believed raised from the dead [ie, not the Nicene definition of Christ]. There is no evidence at all that such a person ever existed. Which I contend is unimportant-The Jesus as proclaimed by Paul who died in a celestial place in place of our sins is a valid basis for a religion. Almost all religions are based on mythical tales. It would be odd if Christianity was the only one that wasn’t.

"Jesus" doesn't exist , that name was not even in the Bibles from 100AD to 1600AD ....The character that the Romans and the so called church founding fathers believed was "Mithra" a king of Persia whose the gospels portrayed to be...Mithra was born of a virgin, born on December 25th, The Star in the east with three wise men from the East ..were three astrologers priests for this god. Mithra who was baptized at 30, known as the light, the truth, and the life, his blood save people, performed miracles , he turned water into wine, walked on water, had 12 disciples, died and 3 days later resurrected and Mithra was worshiped on Sunday. IS THIS A MERE COINCIDENCE THAT MATCHES THE SO CALLED "JESUS" DESCRIPTION???? Don't believe me? Watch the video link. Interestingly enough, the other pagan nations had also known Messiahs with the same description attributes like Mithra like Horus Egyptian god 3000BC, ,Attis from Greece 1200BC, Krishna 900BC, Dionysus Greece 500BC, Tammuz Babylon 500BC, Janus worshiped as Apollo Rome 30AD known as father and Son duality as One, represented January as the beginning. etc. Google these names and you will find out that Christianity is a FRAUD. EVERYTHING THAT IS DESCRIBED ON THESE SO CALLED PAGAN MESSIAHS IS NOT THE MESSIAH DESCRIBED IN THE OT OR HEBREW MESSIAH. kzbin.info/www/bejne/boXGZ397Z8Z1m8U

[@TorahisLifeandLight]

@Have Mercy to tell the people the truth...and NOT to believe a lie....Iam doing exactly what the prophet Ezekiel did in Chapter 3. Show me a Bible translation that contain the name "Jesus" in the Bible. That name never existed in the early Bible Manuscripts. The name was inserted in the 1600's by the king of England. My point is that name is "fictitious". Plus the messianic prophecies that Christianity claims are not found in the Tanakh commonly known as the Old Testament. Which messiah is Christianity believing in ? if the the dogma don't match any of the messianic prophecies in the OT. Jews believers of the Messiah were set apart by accepting the Messiah but they didn't have the NT. So they only used the OT or Tanakh to confirm the messianic prophecies. Where in the OT states specifically that the Messiah was going to be impregnated by God's spirit without using sexual relations by a Hebrew man? Instead,the Messianic prophecy says that the Messiah will come through the tribe of Judah if no man from the tribe of Judah impregnated his mother? Show me in the Tanakh or OT.

[@TorahisLifeandLight]

@Have Mercy first off, 'Jesus is not G-d" he is the Messiah ( anointed ) king of Israel successor of king David. if you want to believe that deception , its on you. The bottom line of the bottom is that G-d wants everyone to be saved but he wants everyone to come to the knowledge of the truth. Believing "deception" will not save people from judgment. People have believed a deceptive gospel that is not according to the prophets. Satan thrives capturing the minds of the unbelievers. 1Timothy 2: 3 "This is good, and it pleases God our Savior,who wants everyone to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth." Evil hearts follow deception and rejoice in unrighteousness. Believing in religious lies is evil before G-d and "arrogance " is also evil before G-d. People who don't love the truth will believe a lie...and G-d will send them a delusion to believe a lie. 2Thessa 2: 9-12 "The coming of the lawless one is based on Satan’s working, with all kinds of false miracles, signs, and wonders.and with every wicked deception among those who are perishing. They perish because they did not accept the love of the truth and so be saved.For this reason God sends them a strong delusion so that they will believe the lie,so that all will be condemned ​- ​those who did not believe the truth but delighted in unrighteousness."

[@TorahisLifeandLight]

@Have Mercy The Protestant Trinitarian doctrine "triune gods" in one being is the same thing like the Catholic triune god. The only difference is in the philosophy being used. The protestants churches teaches it like this: The father , the Son, the Holy Spirit are co-equal, co-eval, god the father, god the son and god the Holy Spirit ( 3 gods in one) also called in three manifestations or forms ( not three persons like Catholics) manifested god-incarnate on the flesh. The protestant churches use a philosophy called "Pantheism" as oppose to Catholics, they used a different philosophical approach . Theologically speaking the protestant or Catholic trinitarian doctrine of ( three gods in one) does not match the words of Christ himself or the Prophets. Read John 17: 3 and John 20: 17 ; Exodus 20:3,4 Deut. 7: 6,7, 11 The doctrine of the Trinity is invented by the Romans specifically the Emperor Constantine who inserted his Mithraism ( Roman & Greek Old Religion) paganistic beliefs in the Abrahamic faith ( by forgery in the Bible through the Vulgate ) to expand his Rome Empire in the entire world with his new religion forcing people to convert including the Jews who got murdered by Christianity. The immaculate conception doctrine is not found in the Messianic prophecies in the Old Testament. Where in the Old Testament was predicted that the God of Jacob will impregnate a woman without sexual relations by a man to bring a demigod as the king of Israel?????. or even worse, God himself will put himself as a 'semen" in the woman's womb?? That's ridiculous. That would contradict what God predicted through his prophets as to how the Messiah supposed to fulfill the Davinic Covenant. You need to read Psalms and isaiah. Actually the messianic prophecy predicted that the Hebrew Messiah will come through the flesh of David or lineage and the tribe of Judah lineage. This can be only done through the patrilineal side not mother's side. Explain this huge messianic discrepancy. This pagan doctrine of God impregnating a mortal woman to bring a demigod as his Son is nothing but Roman-Greek religion not Hebraic.

The gospels show that Christ was seen, touched, he ate, he was spoken with, and that He spoke, appeared in several situations with different groups of people, between the crucifixion and the ascension. The ascension was witnessed, as documented by Luke in the first chapter of Acts 1. Also, I have experienced what Jesus is willing to do for somebody who is willing to humbly call upon Him.
