Always good when a sinner finds Christ.

"I wasn't myself in this visual experience. I was a 13-year-old boy sitting next to him [Jesus] and feeling feelings I'd never felt in my lifetime…. It was probably the most profound experience of my life."

Uh................ok

Warning - another liberal talking about 'feelings' instead of knowing the Word and understanding Jesus in her heart. I will wait to see her fruit. In the past she has always acted like one....

As the old saying goes....Jesus must not have seen her first.

"I was a 13-year-old boy sitting next to him [Jesus]"

She was transformed into a boy?

I agree, but still it boils down to where does she go now if that was a real encounter with the Lord. God does not handle everyone the same way in the conversion process, and we need to give room.

"Always good when a sinner finds Christ."

Why include the 'sinner'? We're all sinners. You might as well say "Always good when someone finds Christ"

First the Harry Potter author and now Naomi Wolf. It's a good beginning!

Well, no need to be snide!

Having scanned the column...would that Rosa had followed her own advice.

This reminds me of when Jane Fonda "found Jesus" and then went right on bashing Bush, being pro-abortion and all that.

Considering Wolf and her crowd, this is a "hip" Jesus, the "Who's your buddy?" Jesus.

Needs better bolding:

"I wasn't myself in this visual experience. I was a 13-year-old boy sitting next to him and feeling feelings I'd never felt in my lifetime. It was probably the most profound experience of my life."

I *think* I'm happy for her...

Wolf's always been a little odd. Her strange worldview has even angered her fellow feminists on occasion. A few years ago she created a furor when she wrote an article arguing that abortion supporters should openly admit that abortion kills a baby. She thought it would be a better tactic to call abortion a human sacrifice necessary to preserve women's freedom than to lie and say the unborn are mere "cell clusters". I was posting a lot on an abortion debate board at the time and the hardcore pro-aborts there were FURIOUS beyond belief at her for writing that article.

Hopefully, she's really found Christ. Of course, a few years back Jane Fonda claimed to have become a Christian, but she's still peddling abortion and the rest of the leftist garbage she did before. I guess we'll find out eventually if Naomi has really changed or if it's just a stunt of some kind.

Lesson of the Parable of the sower....

Not all who receive the word last thru tribution. I'm always glad when someone says they've embraced christianity...but it doesn't always mean they have really.

Hasn't Naomi Wolf always been a Christian?

From her actual interview:

Wolf emphasised that her spiritual renewal strengthened her commitment to feminism as her life mission. “I believe that each of us is here to help repair the world,” she said. “My particular mission seems to be about helping women remember what’s sacred about them or what’s sacred about femininity .”

She also expressed apprehension that her faith would be hijacked by religious groups. “I don’t want to be co-opted as the poster child for any religion or any agenda,” said Wolf, who was brought up in a liberal Jewish household. “There are a lot of people out there just waiting for some little Jewish feminist to cross over. I don’t claim to get where this being fits into the scheme of things but I absolutely believe in divine providence now, absolutely believe God totally cares about every single one of us intimately.”
