Too bad David Limbaugh is unfamiliar with folks like David Koresh, who had people willing to watch things done to their children and even die, yet still held to their beliefs into violent death. People believe things that are not true.
Plus, remember that Paul--who was responsible for making Christianity into what it became--was not a witness to the events on the road to Emmaus. There is much evidence for him suffering from a medical condition that could explain his experience near Damascus. Acts 9:7 and Acts 22:9...which are we to believe? If we believe Acts 22:9, then others didn't hear the voice (of course, if we believe Acts 9:7, then there's the famous contradiction). So perhaps God worked through illness, or it was just an illness...the point is, Paul would be just as earnest whether God was behind it all or it was just a focal seizure (or another condition I suspect).
Not a good analogy. The Branch Davidians were invaded, and things happened fast. The 11 apostles spent years evangalizing knowing full well the potential consequences. Of course this doesn’t prove Christian theology, the proof of that is multifaceted, and much bigger than simple historical fact.
Yes people believe things that are not true, even at the risk of eternal damnation. As far as Paul is concerned, true it may have been illness, but many people have had similar religious awakenings. You can call them all illness if you want.....whatever.
Er, have you read St. Paul? That ain't no medical condition. One of the saints described his sentences as "peals of thunder."
You sound like a convicted unbeliever. Are you aware that the
Apostle Paul was the same man who was trained /raised up as a Pharisee that he was a disciple of Gamaleil? do you deny what he says he was about on the Road to Damascus? Have you ignored the Scripture that speaks of Peter being led/ prepared by God to accept this Paul- or was he yet known as Saul of Tarsus then? You are of the world and cannot help yourself- I pray someday you will experience Christ as Saul of Tarsus did on that road to Damascus.Perhaps then we can discus the things of the Spirit as reasonable men.For now your unbelief is a set of blinders keeping you from knowing the truth —and being set free.
The science confirmed OT mentions GOD using a talking ass; so I suppose He could even use something that I might say from time to time.

Koresh conducted daily manipulation sessions. Many of his followers died with him, because he posted armed guards to keep his followers from escaping.
Christ’s followers became martyrs long after Christ died.
