Stan my beliefs were changed over 25 years ago from belief to personal knowledge by an unexpected revelation. I was raised in the Church of Christ, baptized at 12, thought I had to attend church every time doors opened, and did my best to be a good Christian. The revelation wasn't the glorious experience for me but an overwhelming one that went against all my upbringing and beliefs. I tried to understand: why me God; I have have not been able to live a perfect life. Spiritual truths I received were for me impossible to put in words. They still are. My family and friends would think I was nuts. I was not so sure myself. I began to search all sources to see if anyone else had the same experience. Naturally I went to the bible first. The old testament God wasn't what I experienced in myself. Then I came to Paul's teaching and there it was, the same truth. I realized it was there all along I had just passed over it. Yet all the rest of the bible did not fit in. I had to know why so started the usual tracking down its origin at the library in research books. I spent the biggest part of free time in research. The more I researched the more I learned. My life did a 100% reverse of my way of thinking prior to the experience. I am 74 now and my physical body is worn out and maimed with no legs and a bad heart. I have no fear of the body's death because I know I have lived forever and have eternal life. I will just pass through transition into another physical body with the soul personailty I have created thus far in my existence. Reincarnation was the hardest thing to accept. I always thought of it as returning as a lower form of animal life. I know others cannot accept this. My only hope is that they will go in search for the truth in order to prove me a liar. I take a lot of verbal abuse but it doesn't phase me. I would have been the same prior to my experience. To start your search I suggest you go to the bible and read the actual words of God's covenant. Try to figure out Paul's message that Christ dwells in you literally.
