A question to a situation that happen yesterday.

I've had a lot of encounters with the paranormal and/or supernatural. However, God won't allow me to discuss it.

God wants to make sure that He and only He is heeded.

It looks like He installed a fail-safe so that if you do let some of it shine through, people won't believe you or will at least be filled with some skepticism to make sure it stays between you and Him.

You said he gave his life to jesus, i dont think helping the Romans in his capture shows dedication in giving his life to jesus. I was simply following on from your comment so it has plenty to do with what you were talking about.

The timeline is that he gave his life 1 to 3 years after the resurrection of Jesus.

:) Thought I would look that up :)

3 And as he journeyed, he came near Damascus: and suddenly there shined round about him a light from heaven:
4 And he fell to the earth, and heard a voice saying unto him, Saul, Saul, why persecutest thou me?

No... God didn't shove... Saul fell and then God spoke and Saul became Paul. Don't think that matches the situation.

I should have looked it up.

After his crucifixion that i believe he helped happen.
Remorse does seem to bring a lot of people to Christianity.

Or realization that one needs outside help for true change.

In my case it wasn't really remorse. As my wife, her sister and I gave our lives, these were the reasons:

  1. Sister - I am a rank sinner and I need a Savior
  2. Myself -
    1. My life is going from bad to worse, i need something different
    2. It won't hurt me if I confess Jesus as my Lord
    3. The Bible is either true or false. I will start with "It is true" and then I will test the sucker and will find out soon enough if it is or isn't. (It's still true and here was no "remorse" factor in it)
  3. Wife - "Well... I haven't killed anyone, I basically don't lie, I'm a good person (later she described it as self-righteousness) but if they are going up, I'm not staying behind" - no remorse
Each one of us had a life change.

Jesus just said "Come" - didn't say "Come only if you are remorseful"

I asked the question in OP due to my surprise of a thought was responded to in the very moment i was thinking bad about an other human being.
As a spiritual person i have experienced other things that was difficult to explain, but I must say to me the answer is more in line with a spiritual guide or even an Angel who corrected my bad thoughts. Than it should any form of government hockus pocus, nor do i believe for a second it has anything to do with alien.

People are of course welcome to have their opinion and answer to what it could be. ( Maybe it has a very natural answer without any form of spiritual aspects)

I tried to recreate it today without any result ( and without bad words used)

This one i have no clue how to interpret :oops:

I was walking and as usual I think a lot when I walk...it was a dry pavement and no sand on it....in that moment i had a bad thought about a person i know, and I felt a pretty hard nudge in my left side, and I dont mean just one part like in my shoulder, but all of my left side of the body, from the shoulder to my feet. In the next moment i found my self on the opposit side of the road :confused: it was at least 6 feet apart from where I had been when I had this bad thought of an other person...

I just cant explain the nudge, nor the sudden move to the side (6 feet) :oops::confused: without me moving my feet to the side o_O

Any clue?
And please, no joking or non serious answers.
I have this type of experience all the time (talking about the 6 feet), I always simple assumed that I am just distracted and my mind is simply somewhere else without noting that I am walking.

The most “paranormal” experience I ´ve ever had is once when both my wife and I saw a big spider in a wall , we moved are sight for 1 or 2 seconds searching for a shoe or something to kill the spider and then the spider disappeared.

We looked everywhere around and the spider wasn’t there , the spider could have not moved far away during the 2 seconds and it could have not been an illusion because both my wife and I saw the spider.

I see spiders that disappear all the time, but it always happens when I am alone, -(so I just assume that I am hallucinating ) but in this particular case I had a witness who saw the same thing


I don’t claim that something paranormal happened , it is just the strangest thing that has ever occurred to me

This is precisely the kind of behavior of a poultergeist.

Poultergeists generally do this for young people (especially young girls). I don't fully understand why.

Poultergeists are playful, and sometimes harmful. Sometimes they get revenge.

If this is a poultergeist issue, expect more to follow....this is not over.
I believe that you're entertaining thoughts that you just shouldn't be, nor can understand. There are no such things as poltergeists, ghosts, aliens, karma or disembodied spirits.
SOWL either hallucinated, blacked-out, willed-it-to-happen, or some other psychological induced phenomenon. He's a mystic by faith - he's always going to be seeking such experiences, so therefore, by hook and by crook he will find them - even if he has to conjure it up himself.

I have not found the answer to what happen, and I am actually satisfied with that. Moving on :)

I wonder what a poultergeist is though.
Do they haunt poultry?
Or is it a poltergeist that only throws around domestic fowl?
Or is it a ghost that raises and slaughters chickens, and if so, are they ghost-chickens or regular ones?
Does the ghost-chicken die after it is slaughtered?
And what would a ghost-chicken egg taste like, and how much are they worth?

I might never know...
