"Take my word for it, or his, or this book"

Most of us probably know better than to believe everything said or written. If someone tells us they can fly by flapping their arms, our response is likely disbelief and a request that they ‘show me’. If they refuse to demonstrate or fail in flapping, we regard their claim as false. Agreed?

If a person claims to have come back to life after being dead for days none of us are likely to believe the claim unless it could be verified. Right?

If someone writes that fifty years ago a long-dead person came back to life and flew away into the sky, what would be your / our likely reaction? Would we be convinced if they say ‘many saw him’?

What would it take to convince us that the tale was true?

ANY of the thousands of "gods" proposed, imagined, worshiped, loved, feared, and/or fought over by humans MAY exist -- awaiting verifiable evidence

Excellent, I accept nothing from them which apparently was the original intent. In the garbage with your "bible" (quotations)

Sadly YOU seem to idolize them you can't seem to break free from your quoted source, you constantly focus (not on the Lord Jesus) but on your experience. You even imply that because you had a supernatural experience and met god incarnate , your copies of God's utterances are superior to those of the Prophet Moses' or Isaiah (you seem to have made an idol of your copies)

Break free from your leaning to idolize your copies of the notes you took during a paranormal experience and instead focus on the Lord.
Barking at the wrong tree and failure in moving on to treading the truth that nothing is to be taken from the utterances of the Lord, but the reality of the existence of God, so that everybody may come to Him to be saved.

You are repeating yourself, your point has been duly noted: If I want to know God's name name or what he requires for salvation or what he said to Moses or Isaiah or what he said to Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden... I shall of course go elsewhere.

I will still trash your alleged testimonies awaiting verification from the Lord himself to me personally, (he is not far from any of us).
