    Religious Experience versus Mystical Experience

    You must have experienced some other God. Shiva maybe? You cannot experience Christ according to the Christian scriptures. Or maybe like a cunning fox you must have the read the eastern scriptures and decided to dump whatever you learnt there onto Christ? It has to be the latter.

    Religious Experience versus Mystical Experience
