    But did former Atheist Rabbi Alon Anava have a genuine encounter with our Creator?

    I think that he did because the radical change in his life indicates that former Atheist Rabbi Alon Anava is convinced of the reality of his seven minute near death experience.

    The transformation in the life of former Atheist Mellen Benedict was just as dramatic but very different. He did not become religious in any organized way.

    Former Satanist John Ramirez reports meeting with Satan face to face in the out of the body state after he would drink blood and do some rituals. That was before his 1999 conversion.

    He sent his servant, his spirit, whom I saw, tasted, heard and received. To receive his holy servant is to receive him. So it is more than to see him. It is to know him by his spirits knowing of me. It is Gods doing. After which I have no hunger or thirst for mens philosophies or their multitude of private interpretations of holy scripture. I know for myself from Gods holy spirit that he lives. I know that everyone knows God, but has gone away from him and forgotten him, as had I.

    So what did his spirit look like and what did it taste like, and what did you discuss?

    He looked like a river of pure white spirit, pouring out of heaven. His conveyance tasted like milk and honey. We discussed personal matters which he showed to me in a vision.

    Wow, yes, we all knew our Creator before we were conceived and we specifically volunteered for the mission that we are on here in this life but our memories of our being on a mission were taken from us as a part of what we volunteered for.

    Yes, it wasn't a supernatural event or feeling that I concluded must be of God. I actually recognized and remembered his spirit or his divinity by the preponderance of his spirit How else is one to actually know that God is God if not by a recognizance or the stirring of memory. And repentance and baptism followed suit in keeping with his divinity. So it was by his grace that I was spared from the pit, and my eyes opened. I remember thinking, how could this be, and who forgets God. But I had. And he didn't come to condemn me of which there was plenty to condemn. Instead it was to save me by the salve of his spirit. Now I'm set apart and glad, and not thru any righteousness of my own but by his charity.

    I honor your questions, and you mock my answers. Do you suppose that the proclamations of God will go unfulfilled? By whose authority do you wrest it from God and decree that it shall not be so?

    My theory is that "the Lord" mentioned so often in the Old Testament and Torah was actually the Lord Moloch. The symbols/flags are so similar....

    It's very clear today that the work being done by Bibi's minions is the work of Moloch as expressed in Deuteronomy 7

    Unless I can have a face to face discussion with a god and share a meal or a beer together as described in Genesis 18, I have no reason to believe that gods exist and need to kow tow. Nor to pay tithes to preachers selling after-death salvation with money back guarantees so they can buy private jets and fancy ladies.

    Abraham served God that they sat and talked. Where is your service to God by excusing yourself on the heels of imposters.
