He said that he was devastated that his wife had filed for divorce so he sought the advice and counsel from a Christian leader. The Christian leader told him to go home and meditate on Jeremiah 24. The leader then asked him if he had ever invited Christ into his home. He answered no and was told to invite Christ into his house that night. The next morning he said he opened the door and Christ was there appearing as a bright white figure and He came into his home and walked from room to room blessing every room. After Christ finished blessing the last room, the man thought Christ had left so he sat down at his desk trying to process what had just happened. Then Christ appeared again and the man fell down to the floor and wept while grasping Christ’s ankles. Thoughts about whether this man sounds sincere? He uses this story to recruit men to his Christian Fellowship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who me Posted July 30, 2019 Group: Royal Member Followers: 5 Topic Count: 17 Topics Per Day: 0.01 Content Count: 3,298 Content Per Day: 1.73 Reputation: 1,685 Days Won: 0 Joined: 01/27/2019 Status: Offline Share Posted July 30, 2019 I want to know what Jesus means to him today? What Jesus has done for him? What is the relevence of his experience to him in his daily life and how does it help him live his life? Lastly what does the minister of the church he attends think of his experience? There are always those with dramatic testimonies, some only have a dramatic testimony, they have nothing to say about what Jesus means to them today or how they deal with todays problems. The judgement of someone who has known the person before and after the 'experience' is always informative about there on going Christian life/witness. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He uses this story to recruit men to his Christian Fellowship. The measure for any such testimony: is it biblical or unbiblical? The measure for any such person: with men coming to his fellowship, is he using the story to gather men solely for fellowship or to make dollars? Is there a reason Jesus would choose to not appear to someone, to save their marriage or comfort a divorcee? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No. That "christ" whether real or imagined by him, was more along these lines: 2 Corinthians 11:14 And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light. Matthew 24:24-27 For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall shew great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect. (25) Behold, I have told you before. (26) Wherefore if they shall say unto you, Behold, he is in the desert; go not forth: behold, he is in the secret chambers; believe it not. (27) For as the lightning cometh out of the east, and shineth even unto the west; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is Catholic but his fellowship is non denominational. His “miracle” of Christ walking in his house was in a book called Miracles by Eric Metaxas. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
