If I stumble across a book that claims to be the word of God, how do I know if it really is God's Word or Human Lies?
When God Himself through the Holy Spirit comes to you, and lets you know it is Him.

And how do you know it's not just a delusion ?
Can you gain any knowledge from that meeting ?
ie:
- Can you see the futur
- Can you solve a mathematical problem unresolved to this day
- Do you have vision that would solve a murder case
- Do you gain a special ability that could help others
- Are you granted with knowledge of your death
- Do you get some healing power
- Could you fly
- Can you sense evil in people (murderers, psychopath etc)
Or do you simply "feel" special, and cannot prove it to any skeptic ?
Ps : don't you think that if you can't even prove it to me or anyone else, maybe you should question your...."vision/meeting/holy encounter"

ie:
- Can you see the futur
yes
- Can you solve a mathematical problem unresolved to this day
nothing happens without God
- Do you have vision that would solve a murder case
I believe it is possible
- Do you gain a special ability that could help others
Yes, it's called love and forgiveness
- Are you granted with knowledge of your death
no one knows the times but the Father
- Do you get some healing power
Your own faith heals you
- Could you fly
Eventually, I hope
- Can you sense evil in people (murderers, psychopath etc)
Oh yes, evil and good become very apparent. That is one of the main things God changed about me, He took away my "gullableness" and opened my eyes to the truth
And how do you know it's not just a delusion ?
You don't really. All I can say is that you know that you know. I know because I am changed.
Or do you simply "feel" special, and cannot prove it to any skeptic ?
Just like you can't prove love.
Ps : don't you think that if you can't even prove it to me or anyone else, maybe you should question your...."vision/meeting/holy encounter"
It's been 3 years now since my first encounter, and I question it, and test it everyday. Maybe my faith is not as strong as it should be, or maybe I am just being human, or maybe I am just seeking the one who created me, all the time.
