   Yes. But that was not hell I was speaking of. It is torture that you   
   mentioned, that was somehow limited in time and scope. Or did you forget your   
   premise just made above?

   Why should I have an answer for it, it is in Gods hands and for his purposes.   
   I understand some of those things but there is no way I or anyone on earth   
   can discuss it with others as they would just keep on with endless questions   
   for no reason other than to find a point where you can’t explain it and   
   claim “GOTCHA’ and use that as some excuse to rationalize all proper   
   thing before it, away, as it if was unjustified.   
      
   God has all the answers, and he can answer you to your needs in such a way as   
   you can be satisfied..

   I thought you said you knew the Bible? It was not the plan that God desired   
   for them, and the people were very fearful of God and told Moses, “You   
   handle it”. And so it was a negotiated covenant.   
   As to miracles known world wide, at that point in time the known world was   
   small. And yes, those around them knew of them. Some coming to seek healings,   
   other to join in with them, but many haters.

   It is, and it is picking up world wide. Even mentioned in part by that young

   Both of them were in Arkansas, although Duane has since moved to Texas, and   
   his son has taken over in Arkansas.   
   Search them to find the reports. The other families I don’t know if they   
   made it public. And so I would not want to create issues for them

   You didn’t read it very well. "and this strongly suggests that the OBE is   
   caused by "temporary, minor   
   brain malfunctions, not by the person's spirit actually leaving the body.”   
      
   That does little to support a fixed conclusion. Especially when the Witches   
   and warlocks describe what they saw and where they have been in spite of   
   never having been there physically, ever. And That is all in respect to the   
   realities of this world, which can be proven and verified by anyone.
