You just don't get it, do you. It's all about the Truth, something you are afraid of.

Ah, but that's not the definition of the phrase you've been using in your posts! You can break the words down and try to define to the 2nd degree (insubstantial and incorporeal), but that doesn't change the true meaning of "Spectral Evidence," which is defined as seeing a spirit or spectral shape in a dream or vision.

It would be more accurate for you to claim people's beliefs are incorporeal -- lacking material form or substance; however, to claim we're using "Spectral Evidence" is simply absurd and completely untrue. No one has claimed to see spirits in a dream.

Emotions need nothing but the mind for life and as both philosophy and science have yet to prove that the mind even exist how can you believe in it. As one famous atheist said "we only think that we think" .

So energy and emotions are one and the same. In light of that please explain paralyzing fear or the feeling of being drained of all energy?

There is great debate as to weather or not emotions or even the mind actually exist. There is no physical evidence with which one can definitely prove the actual existance of emotions. Please explain irrational fear. With all due respect your argument is moot and void since you have no physical evidence to offer us.

I use the term Spectral Evidence correctly, and justifiably. Religion is a Court Room full of unproven, unseen Evidence, where spirits and dreams are used on a regular basis.

You're also doing what Religionist do best; they dissect a word until they get what they want because they don't want to admit they are wrong.

I guess you haven't been in the Apostolic movement very long. Hang around for a while, and the dreams, visions, and spirits will come. Seriously, I don't think you're even Apostolic.

The bold is incorrect. And while you specify "Religion" here, many of your posts claim that myself and other people here are using Spectral Evidence. Please provide the proof where anyone has posted in this thread about seeing a spirit in a dream or vision. No one has.

You're the one dissecting the meaning of the word down to the 2nd degree! Here's something for you: I and others may, in the end, be completely wrong. But I don't believe we are. I haven't seen you post such possibility yourself. What about you? Can you admit you may be completely wrong in your current beliefs?

Born and raised in the UPC. I've heard Stoneking speak of seeing Angels. I knew Sis. Agnes Rich and heard her speak of seeing Angels. And yes, I've heard some say they had a dream or vision. That doesn't negate their faith or belief one bit.

Have you ever had a dream? Watch out, you might be using Spectral Evidence yourself!

Physical evidence of God is all around us. Creation is God's handiwork, or invention, and we can learn about the Inventor if we study the Invention. Simple as can be!
I think you misunderstood me. I wasn't speaking strictly about the Holy Bible, but about any book of any religion, creed, belief, etc.

As for your physical relationship with God, are you saying that it's only because of what you see that He exists to you?

I don't get the kiss reference. Yes Noah and the Ark really happened. Why did you avoid responding to my points of rebuttal?
