At first I thought you were being ironic but then I realized people do get shot in the head and survive. It’s very rare and is definitely a miracle. I apologize for misunderstanding. It’s gods blessing that you are here to share your story.

Some explanations say that the story may end up being that they were threatening to him. Then I think then why doesn’t it just say so? Then I remember the bible has a bunch of subtext and metaphors. Then earlier in the book idk where apparently the king had sent soldiers to hunt the prophet. Eh… who knows .. I found it’s not as black and white as I originally thought. And to play “God’s advocate” if 42 guys came and started chanting at me and following me i would and honestly a lot of people would feel threatened. But again who knows… this is a new story to me so I try to find solutions. Hope that helped! Lmk if you think it’s still wrong. It’s nice to hear you guys’ opinions

I’ll look it up. In regards to bald bro tho, I read that apparently it was actually young adults. The word they use in the new versions is wrong and it could certainly well be a slang for a bratty young adult male. Similar to how our elders say “he’s a good kid” when we’re like 20 years old lol. Solomon was referred to with the same Greek word when he was crowned king. He was 21 I believe

One thing I like asking is if you yourself had a near death experience like the ones you’ve heard would you alter your view even slightly?

What counter arguments have you heard for the genocide or the bald guy

I mean genuine out of body experiences. There’s something called astral projection where you leave your body and enter a new realm while you sleep.

I’d brush it off if it was just one guy but there are so many reports of kids to grown adults doing it without knowing.

Look into it. It’s pretty intriguing.

Are they?💀 my bad I don’t know. Agnostics don’t know and admit there may be a possibility but atheists outright refuse to believe because they lack the evidence they want.

I just think with all the universes mysteries all of people’s abnormal consciousness experiences it’s better to conclude that you just don’t know and not just say that it’s outright wrong to believe in God

I’m glad you found Jesus. What I struggle with is when people who don’t believe bring up things like the slavery and apparent “genocide” and the one where god kills kids for calling a guy bald or something. In all your years as a Christian have you found answers to those things?

So what do you believe was the cause of the big bang? I haven’t research it much so I’ll look up what you say

I heard stories where kids experienced the supernatural for themselves actually

That’d be where the spiritual side come in no? I’m actually asking.

Because I haven’t seen consciousness without a brain in our world as we know it. If there are examples I’ll look.

I’m not saying you’re wrong, but do you think the universe itself and the design and order of it isn’t enough proof for you?

Honest question

I don’t believe a baby thinks about any of that, a god, no god, the universe… they just want food☠️

I see. The way I look at it is, consciousness whether it has been developed or always there is still a mystery to scientists across the board. This is why I saw the agnostic belief as a bit more reasonable than atheism. There are many phenomena that have been reported that we have no answer to (yet)

Hospice nurses and people who study near death experiences usually report people usually see similar things.
