(actually just the bottom of his robe and his sandaled feet) I don't think God reveals truth I know he does! (especially when what I've seen with my own eyes as far as those angels and demons lines up with scriptures!) You can think or try to reason all you want to, but you made your choice apparently; and that's what happens when you let go of God. (and your relationship with him)

Thanks for sharing. IMO, to have seen and heard Jesus and angels with your own physical eyes and ears is fairly good evidence for you to go with and base your life around, even if it's only personal and not provable to anyone else. I would believe also, had I ever experienced anything as (I assume you are claiming) as physically real and sure as your experience.
(Oops, PS. <<right before I woke up.>>) ?
I haven't experienced any of that--and had only the Bible and my "born again" conversion, and the exciting conversions of my brethren to go by, and therefore I believed the whole bible for 22 years. Today, there is no good reason for me to base my life around christians' untestable, if not unbelievable claims, which are no better and no worse than the claims of Muslims, Hindus, Mormons, Moonies, or whatever--they are all based on an invisible spirit world that supposedly continually interacts with our world. If that were true, something or other (the claims about an invisible world, or the gods interacting with this world) would be distinguishable, if not testable. "Distinguishable" meaning to notice something different in the world that doesn't already happen the same way according to normal chance, according to normal nature, normal circumstances, or even according to normal human religious beliefs, of which there are hundreds or thousands. Without such evidence, a modern human does well to side with rationality, and not a wild fairy tale world of gods and spirits. (Supernatural beliefs were probably functional for survival many eons ago, but that's a different topic.) If I am wrong, however, I will be GLAD to see my life used as a sad object lesson by the Almighty Allah or Vishnu or Jesus or (pick your favorite Power God) in order to prove to people in the afterlife (as if they would need any proof then)--about how you should NOT have believed back on earth. Really! Bring it on, gods. My life is yours to use or abuse.
BTW, what did Jesus and the angels say, who were "<<conversing with me>>?
