LoL- yes. I am not entirely crazy enough to believe that I physically flew through the sky. My point, however, is that my experience felt too real and intense to be a mere dream. I do believe it was a spiritual experience. One I can't explain. I've had intense dreams before, but they are always...
I'll try to put it into words as best I can- but words fail me and I fear I won't be able to express it properly.
In the middle of the night I woke up abruptly to a very intense feeling. My body felt electrified- every inch of my body was alive- from toes to hair. I had experienced this a few...
I think everyone experiences the Holy Spirit in one way or another, it's whether or not they recognise it as such that makes the difference. I've experienced something too deep to put into words that do it justice. I've faught with my inner thoughts to try to debate what it all meant, but it...

You know, as a reasonable person- that when your boss asks you to do something, you have to obey
Wouldn't it stand to reason that since God asked Adam and Eve not to eat the fruit of the tree- that they had been given free will? If they hadn't, there would be no way for the snake to even tempt them- because God asked/told them not to.
