A person has come to you and says...

[Just_me_Mike]

I have clarity, I have found inner peace, all makes sense now.

Aside from the feeling this girl or guy might be a creep, would you be inclined to inquire anything from them, or simply point them down the road to the closest clinic?

Maybe they have clarity, found inner peace, and it all makes sense to them now. If they express clarity, exude peacefulness, and can explain why it makes sense, I'd have no reason to doubt them.

The first think I would wonder is which false religion has them fooled. Which demon has them swaying in the false comfort of an innner peace. Which humanistic teaching has them blinded to the truth about their condition?

Only when you turned that question on yourself, would you find real wisdom.

Thank you for pointing out how rediculous that statement was Kilgore. I give you an internet "highfive."

How do you know that said person hasn't just found Jesus? The OP certainly doesn't deny it.

I like that; "internet highfive."

I might out of curiousity ask them to explain, just to see what their method for attaining said clarity was. As far as the clinic reference, that would certainly depend on what their explanation was.

That's a good point. Maybe they did, but from what the OP said, that is what I would be thinking. I would also be looking for a cross or Bible.

 

[LuisDantas]

Oh yeah, I would be looking for behavioral and bodily signs to back up those claims. I might well believe in that person. It is not such an extraordinary claim, after all.

I would wait for a crisis and see how the inner peace thing worked.

Because from a Christian perspective, inner peace is that New Age stuff which is a "doctrine of demons" (I've been told that by a Christian). Notice, Jesus is not mentioned in this "inner peace" but Biblically, you cant have innerpeace without Jesus. So if someone finds innerpeace without Jesus, a Christian will likely be critical.

[LuisDantas]

Agreed, but the OP doesn't claim that it happened without Jesus. For all one knows, his very next sentence might be "Because I found Jesus".

Ha! That makes me laugh because I said that once in this forum but later on changed my belief because I researched and learned more about something else. Goes to show that some people never actually mean what they say.

My what an optimistic view of the world you have. Demons! That must be it! A person can't have peace in this world!

 

[Man of Faith]

explain a false religion...

Anything that isn't the one true faith. There can't be more than one truth.

There can be a false peace and that is from the devil.

I would say "Have you? That's nice.", and walk slowly and cautiously away.

 

[Revasser]

I'd be wondering what they were selling and how long I would have to stand there politely and listen to them before they asked for money or wanted to give me some pamphlets so I could tell them to buzz off.

Someone who really had inner peace and all that would probably want to keep away from other people so they didn't ruin it for them.
