I got a feeling I don't wanna know. :-)

Bump to week-end testimonies!
For me, it's all about unconditional faith.
Not blind. Unconditional.
Yes, as per my reasoning, GOD was crucified in much the same way as Jesus was by the 24 earlier idea-concept-entities. Alone, cast out, in the eternal darkness; only by pure FAITH did he do the BIG BANG/create the universe. Thus the crucifiction of his son was the final lesson from the father as to what it takes to create something new. The parable of the seed dying in the ground, then bringing forth new life; it a true message from HIM.
Thank You for your story. It is very convincing about Life After Death. I find myself looking forward to dying when I read stories such as this. Thanks for sharing it, with us.
You're quite welcome auggy;
As Christians we have no reason to fear dying.
Betty Malz in her testimony described her passing over as that feeling you get when you're at the top of a roller coaster, & just starting down the other side.
"To be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord!"
2 Corinthians 5
Our New Bodies
1 For we know that when this earthly tent we live in is taken down--when we die and leave these bodies--we will have a home in heaven, an eternal body made for us by God himself and not by human hands.
2 We grow weary in our present bodies, and we long for the day when we will put on our heavenly bodies like new clothing.
3 For we will not be spirits without bodies, but we will put on new heavenly bodies.
4 Our dying bodies make us groan and sigh, but it's not that we want to die and have no bodies at all. We want to slip into our new bodies so that these dying bodies will be swallowed up by everlasting life.
5 God himself has prepared us for this, and as a guarantee he has given us his Holy Spirit.
6 So we are always confident, even though we know that as long as we live in these bodies we are not at home with the Lord.
7 That is why we live by believing and not by seeing.
8 Yes, we are fully confident, and we would rather be away from these bodies, for then we will be at home with the Lord.
9 So our aim is to please him always, whether we are here in this body or away from this body.
10 For we must all stand before Christ to be judged. We will each receive whatever we deserve for the good or evil we have done in our bodies.

A wonderful friend of mine once made a remark to me that I will never forget. He said, "we are not human beings having a Spiritual experience, we are Spiritual beings having a human experience."
