Just had a talk with God.

[Spirit of Light]

And now people thinking "Yeah right, its just in your head"

Well, anyway.
I was outside walking to the store, and that was when I asked God if I could have a chat
And the crazy thing is, I got answers to my questions, I can not explain it but I could feel a being near me (was it God? Honestly I don't know) maybe an Angel.

I noticed in the time i had this conversation that no cars, no people and no animals was around me. Not sure what that means

And as soon as I thanked God for the advice and chat. Cars, people and animals was back around me.

A bit strange to be honest.

Why wouldn't it be? We know that all sorts of people commonly imagine things, have false memories, hallucinate, etc., any of which could be perfectly rational explanations for your experience (or at least your recollection of it).

One the other hand, we don't even know if any gods exist, let alone whether any could and would volunteer to "have a chat" with a random person, and indeed, plenty of religious beliefs would suggest that isn't how gods work. I don't see the logic in even considering that as a possibility.

Of course, the other thing we know that people commonly do is think entirely illogically.

I am used to being called illogical in this forum. And I expected this kind of comment

[syo]

I can not explain it but I could feel a being near me

You felt your wife. Nice story!

 

[Spirit of Light]

You felt your wife. Nice story!

First of all she is my girlfriend not wife second of all she was not near me.

I was alone in the time I spoke with God.

You guys can have fun on my expence, you don't believe in God anyway.

Whatever the source, I wish you the wisdom to evaluate the conversation.

Thank you @Jayhawker Soule

Her spirit was near you.

I didn't. And I don't do any drugs either.
Also I think whoever wrote that is not
actually yelling the truth.

 

[Spirit of Light]

Her spirit was near you.

The mystery is part of the gift.

That once happened to me

On a very memorable occasion

Not sure if it was God though!

Experiencing delusions, hallucinations, daydreams, etc is not illogical. It is a natural phenomenon (more for some people than others).
What is illogical is insisting that there could be no natural explanation for it, that it was definitely an actual encounter with an actual supernatural being.

***Mod Post***

This is a Journals thread. Debate is prohibited in this forum section.

Any argumentative posts after this notice may be moderated per Rule 10.
​

10. Debating in Non-debate Forums or Posting in DIR/ONLY Forums
Religious forums is structured to provide spaces for many different kinds of conversations. Different kinds of conversations belong in different areas of the forum:

1) Debates should be kept to the debate areas of the forums, including Religious Debates, General Debates, and Political Debates. Debating anywhere other than these forums may result in moderation. Same Faith Debates is governed by special rules described here. Only members of the specified groups(s) can participate in these threads.

2) All DIR (Discuss Individual Religions) forums are for the use of members who identify with those groups or practices. Debating is not permitted in DIRs; debates between members of specified groups should be posted in Same Faith Debates. A member may select up to a maximum of three (3) DIRs with which they identify. A member may change their selection of DIRs at any time, but the total number of DIRs selected must never exceed three (3). Members who do not identify with a DIR group may not post in that DIR section; we recommend creating a thread in the Religions Q&A instead where there is more freedom to comment. DIR forums are not to be used as a cover to bash others outside of the DIR group.

3) The Political World forum has several "only" subforums that are for the use of members who identify with those political leanings. Members who do not identify with those political leanings are not allowed to post there. "Only" subforums are not to be used as a cover to bash others outside of the "Only" group

How did the answers come to you? Like a voice in your head?

Actually both. Some was like a voice from within me, except that it was a different sound and deeper than my "thought voice"

Also sign outside of me in written form on sign around me.

If one has not experienced something like this it is of course difficult to believe, I get that.
I just speak of what happend.
(Not sure God agree with me speaking about it)

I have experienced something quite similar to that and I believe you have had a genuine experience

 

[Yerda]

If one has not experienced something like this it is of course difficult to believe, I get that.

If I had experienced things like this I'd be more inclined towards theism of some sort I suppose.

Whatever it was I hope it leads you to where you need to be.
