Apparently NotforSale is of that mindset (a personal judgment based upon the statements he has made about this matter), therefore unless, and until, he recognizes and acknowledges that God's Word is truth, I see absolutely nothing of value to gained for him or anyone else by even dialoguing with him. Sad, indeed!
Lafon, do you believe in the Old Testament?

The nature of those realities are debated... but sometimes the results are as astounding to the medium as the sitter.

I believe that many are moving into a "rationalism" and departing from more spiritual truths. The afterlife becomes problematic for the perspective being adopted by these individuals.
That's right! From every Religion in the World. Also, do you know how fast a dream can happen? In seconds.

Here are near death experiences from Hindus: http://www.near-death.com/hindu.html

Re: The Question No One Can Answer

Has anyone here ever talked to God, angels, or the those who have passed on? I don't mean with crystal balls or tarot cards. I'm talking about a "knowing"; an exchange of images, words, sounds, or emotions? A communication on the level of the spirit.

I haven't found a person yet who has experienced this who isn't certain that there is "something" beyond physical life. There is an entire world of spiritual realities that are beyond our five senses. It takes spiritual sight to see it. Spiritual ears to hear it. A spiritual heart to feel it. A spiritual hunger to taste it. A spiritual awareness to sense it.

Yes, and all Religions seek this spiritual realm under the same premise; Spectral Evidence.

Re: The Question No One Can Answer

There are so many things that I used to know that I was wrong about. I hesitate now to say I know something unless I really know it.

For this we declare to you by a word from the Lord, that we who are alive, who are left until the coming of the Lord, will not precede those who have fallen asleep. For the Lord himself will descend from heaven with a cry of command, with the voice of an archangel, and with the sound of the trumpet of God. And the dead in Christ will rise first. Then we who are alive, who are left, will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air, and so we will always be with the Lord. Therefore encourage one another with these words.

You believe what you want and live how you want, I'll stick with the Bible and what it says.

I understand you're disgusted and discouraged with man's religion and the various denominations and dogmas, but the word of God is sure and true.
