I didn't say that.You've described it as powerful and personal.
As to objective Truth, it should be obvious to everyone that only God can reveal it, because only He is capable of speaking from the aspect outside of Creation, i.e. "all that there is."
Apparently he's chosen not to reveal himself to a heck of a lot of people while they've received revelations of other Gods.
My point is there's no way of qualitatively distinguishing a Christian divine revelation from any other religion's experiences.

With the following correction, yes:
Apparently He's chosen not to reveal Himself to a heck of a lot of people while they've received revelations of other "gods."

My point is there's no way of qualitatively distinguishing a Christian divine revelation from any other religion's experiences. No logically consistent, reproducible way.
Because such experiences are inherently personal.
Cheers!

Thats WHY Jesus came to make ALL religion obsolete, and Did (even Judaism)..
Judeo-Christianity is not a religion it is a family.. Its not based on what you believe its based on whom you are..
"You MUST be born again"-Jesus...
Even some heretics are included if they are born again..
How do you get born again?.. Hmmmm.. try praying..
