He reincarnated into somebody else which is perfectly compatible with some of the views of reincarnation. . . .Funny how you refeuse to accept such a story when when some of such stories were published in a scientific journal that was posted here by viaro sometime ago. . . .

Are you serious? So if viaro posted it does that make it an evidence? If that story gets published in a scientific journal that means that scientists who are evolutionists are only trying to project their evolutionists beliefs as science, if they can say the theory of evolution is science what stops them from saying 'deja vu' is also science? Didn't I tell you that you guys are willing to accept any idea apart from the truth in the Bible as facts?

mazaje:

So Jesus is a white man. . . .The girl said she saw Jesus and drew exactly what she say and the man she saw was a white man with blue eyes. . . .Interesting. . . .Who told you that her paintings were never learnt?. . , The story does not say her paintings were never learnt. . .

Jesus was Jewish and coupled with the fact that her parents were atheists goes on to say that she did not have the concept of God when she received the visions and gift of painting at the age of 4.

Really. . .So because you happen to be indoctrinated with the biical stories and myth means they are true and other stories are false, no? So what if you own story about that child going to heaven? The child that appeared on fox news and his dad are christians and the wrote and book about his experience which they are selling. . .Their motivation might be money and we know people tell lies to make money ALL of the time. . . .

Jesus was Jewish and coupled with the fact that her parents were atheists goes on to say that she did not have the concept of God when she received the visions and gift of painting at the age of 4.

Jews look more like the Arabs of today nothing close to what the girl saw. . . .She could have heard about Jesus from friends in school or the parents of her friends and imagined it. . . .The story does not say she wasn't thought how to paint as you insinuated. . . .Many christains believe that God can't be seen . . . . .Where are the christians that usually claim to have see God? They should please come to this thread to compare and contrast the God they saw with this girl's God.

She is obviously a very talented artist.

Her visions of "heaven" are nothing that couldn't be seen on earth. God is a really good looking white dude with blue eyes, pointed nose and other features of the white man. She anthropomorphises god like everyone else does. I imagine if she were born in Iran or Pakistan, her paintings would be of Muhammed and Allah, and she'd be singing the praises of Islam. . . . .

If you prefer to call them myths then they are myths but in this case the Bible stories are true myths which can be verified by science and personal experiences. The fact that the 4 year old boy's parents are Christians does not make any difference, afterall the 4 year old girl had parents that were atheists and this confirms the fact that children always have this consciousness of the existence of God whether their parents believe it or not.

Her visions of heaven when compared with what is written in the Truth Book is not different infact it elaborates more on it. When Jesus does not appear in His glory and He appears to us He can be seen. The 4 year old boy could point out that picture out many different ones how he thought Jesus looked like.

At least you admit that her talent was not learnt at the age of 4.

Jesus was not Caucasian, He was a Jew who lived for three and a half years in Israel apart from the brief period He spent in Egypt, Africa. If Jesus came to earth through a Nigerian woman he would have the appearance of a Nigerian man but the fact remains that God is a Spirit and He is not limited to any colour or nation.

The Meaning of Man

"When I consider thy heavens, the work of thy fingers, the moon and the stars, which thou hast ordained; What is man, that thou art mindful of him? and the son of man, that thou visitest him?" (Psalm 8:3-4)

This question has been posed as a rhetorical question by many generations of skeptics, especially in our present generation when the tremendous size of the universe is often used to argue that God, if He exists, could not possibly be interested in such a small speck of dust as our own planet.

But, essentially, the same argument was used against Job by one of his three "miserable comforters" (Job 16:2) over 3,500 years ago. "How then can man be justified with God? . . . that is a worm? and the son of man, which is a worm?" (Job 25:4, 6). This dismal type of reasoning, however, is utterly fallacious. Significance is not a function of size, but of purposeful complexity, and the human brain is surely the most complex physical system in the entire universe, as acknowledged even by such an eminent atheistic scientist as Isaac Asimov. Rather than being insignificant nonentities, men and women have been created in the very image of God and are the objects of His redeeming love.

The most wonderful measure of man's importance is the fact that God, Himself, became a man! "Christ Jesus . . . being in the form of God, . . . took upon him the form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men" (Philippians 2:5-7) to be able to take our death penalty upon Himself. Furthermore, God's love for man is measured not only by His substitutionary death for our sins, but also by His eternal creative purpose for us. He has redeemed us so that "in the ages to come he might shew the exceeding riches of his grace in his kindness toward us through Christ Jesus" (Ephesians 2:7). HMM

@OLAADEGBU

This guy who have been to heaven need to come up with some fresh information besides what we know already. that will be a good start.


God ignores all the hungry boys and girls in Haiti, and just has to come to some rich fat boy in Nebraska who looks like he is high on drugs, and who later published the book and it become a number 1 new york best seller .


Sitting in Jesus's lap. by Goodness,

really? and people are being raped with spears in the ass and Jesus has time to sit this fat kid in this laps and give give him little new wings.

And he just happens to know, about his family stuff? wow, Jesus did not tell him like, The cure of cancer or aids, instead he shows him his "pap"

Pap has Huge wings!!! ? and he was really nice. I think you not only have to be four to come up with such a story you have to be dumb as well,

And naturally he is starting to forget the story, and story that has made him and his happy family millions, he is starting to forget it on live TV? Is it that he is being laughed at by his peers?

,
The presenter, said it people want to believe.

This is not just stupidly stupid, it is desperate.
