<
This is a really nice picture of God but the artist, whoever he was,
really goofed. He shows the Face of God when it actually should've
been shrouded in darkness.
<
===========================
<
There are approximately 474,000,000 Web Page results about God. (You
can look it up if you question my integrity.)
<
There are also 85,600,000 postings about God on Google as well as
another 3,610,000 different postings to Google Groups.
<
I hate to say this but every single one of them is wrong or misguided.
They have no idea who God IS and what He's all about. That includes
The Pope, the TV preacher$ and
the writers of The Bible and the Gospels.
<
For one thing, God isn't like your typical trillionaire, with his nose
held high and the concern for MAKING MORE MONEY the only blessed thing
on his mind.
<
Actually, I've learned that God is smart as a whip, extremely humble
and an exceptionally nice Guy Who's really down-to-earth. Most
importantly, He's also your very best friend.
<
Hell, God has given us so much. He's allowed us a physical existence
and an abundance of wonderful things that have made us something very,
very special in creatiion.
<
It's amazing, really, that He takes in stride the awful truth that so
many of us DENY He exists, that we -- all of us -- have come along by
pure chance despite the astronomical
odds against it.
<
Consequently, I often wonder why God doesn't throw more darts --
lightning strikes -- at His critics (the atheists, the agnostics, the
evolutionists) since their heads are constantly hidden inside their
rectum.
<
See recent photo below . . .

<
The only resonable answer, I would think, is that -- among His many
attributes -- God must really have thick skin.
<
Once upon a time a poster to talk.origins sarcastically wrote that I
-- yours truly Ed Conrad -- have skin "thicker than a concrete
rhinoceros."
<
I'm pretty sure, in God's case, it's got to be even thicker.
<
The only living person I know who has met God and conversed with Him
is David Fellin, one of the two coal miners who were
entombed 14 days during a cave-in near Hazleton, Pa., in August 1963.
<
By now you should well remember the story . . . when, after few days,
all hope was gone, Pope John XXIII -- who died 10 weeks before the
cave-in -- appeared to both men at the same time and remained with
them until Fellin, then Hank Throne, were pulled to the surface
through a bore hole.
<
While entombed -- before miraculous contact was made with the two
miners by the rescue team on the surface -- Fellin had many out-of-
body experiences.
<
The first two were shared by both Fellin and Throne, corroborated by
independent interviews they had given to the Associated Press and the
U.S. Navy Survival Team on the day they were rescued.
<
Amazingly, the men revealed that they had conversed while out of their
bodies.
<
Later, Fellin went it alone.
<
Imagine how surprised he must've been to find himself aboard Columbus'
ship en route to discovering America, testifying later that he saw
good ol' Chris using a compass (which up until about that time was
considered a toy).
<
Another was watching the Egyptian pyramids being constructed,
explaining that no multi-ton rocks were transported to the site but,
instead, were made from what appeared to be cement right where they
are today. He also revealed that extraterrestrials were supervising
the building of the pyramids.
<
Fellin also revealed -- years before the Hubble -- that he knew for a
fact that there are more stars and planets in the universe
"than there are grains of sand on all of the beaches in the world."
<
I think this Hubble photo proves it (each bit of light is a galaxy.)
<
http://www.spacedaily.com/images/hubble-ultradeep-desk-1024.jpg
<
He also testified that there are human beings just like us scattered
throughout the seen and unseen universe -- and added, sort of like
icing on the cake, that he actually was taken to one of these planets
and saw for himself that it contained human life.
<
But Fellin's highlight undoubtedly was being in the company of "The
Man Whose Face I Couldn't See."
<
He said "The Man" was normal in every way except that he couldn't see
His Face because it was always shrouded in darkness.
<
However, once he knew who He was -- Our Creator -- he began calling
him Pop.
<
"Pop," Fellin said he later had asked Him. "Why can't I see Your
Face?"
<
He said God told him that by revealing HIs face, it would stereotype
Him, and He wanted it known that He can enter the body of anyone at
any time -- a rich man, poor man, a beggarman, thief.
<
This is why we've got to treat our fellow man with kindness and
respect, said Fellin, because -- Who knows? -- we might be dealing
directly with God.
<
"The Man" also told Fellin that He is a member of a family of Gods who
live in a physical body on a planet countless light years from earth.
<
Each God -- every member of His family -- is responsible for a section
of the unfathomable universe,
<
He told Felin that His physical body has its limitations but He can
conquer time and space by traveling as a spirit, taking only a split-
second to be anywhere HE wants to be.
<
He also revealed that He doesn't judge us when we die -- after we
depart our earthly existence -- but emphasized that we're judged by
our contemporaries while we were
on earth.
<
Fellin also had learned that no one burns in a place called hell,
which DOES exist. Our punishment, if we deserve it, is being
ostracized by friends and family for the evil deeds we had done
against them -- most often behind their back -- while in the
physical realm.
<
Obviously, there are much worse puishment for tyrants who must pay a
much higher price for their sins against humanity. But even they never
feel the heat of hell.
<
Fellin was asked how He felt being in God's company and his answer was
much more than we can ever wish.
<
"I loved my own father with my whole heart," he remarked. "Being in
the company of God gave me the very same feeling."
<
==========
<
I would like to add the following (which is on tape):
<
"Dave, would you be willing to place your hand on the Holy Bible and
swear that everything you have told me is the truth,
the whole truth and nothing but the truth, so help you, God.
<
"YES! Every word is true, exactly as it happened, And, if you put 10
Bibles in front of me, I'll swear on the 10 of them at the same
time."
<
=====================
<
Fellin swears on The Bible that every word he has spoken is the
truth.

Fellin holds a copy of the front page of the London Evening News --
the largest newspaper in the world at the time -- from
the day he and Throne were rescued.

This is a copy of the telegram the miners reeived from President John
F. Kennedy who would be assassinated three months later.

Hank Throne holds an edition of the Hazleton (Pa.) Standard-Speaker
from the day he and Fellin were rescued.

<
Fellin tells his remarkable story to Dr. Elisabeth Kubler-Ross,
considered the world's leading authority on death and dying
and the author of several books. She was the very first person in all
of medicine to claim there IS life after physical death.

<
Fellin takes -- and passes -- a polygraph test. ((Actually, he had
taken two separate tests and passed both with flying colors.)

of Louis Bova, the third miner who died as a result of the cave-in.
The men were buried 340 feet underground.
