   I quite agree with Chris.   
      
   It is up to the doubters to prove a statement false.   
      
   Just as it is up to Chris to prove that I am not his guardian angel and   
   that I have messages from God for him. But he doubts and so I cannot let   
   him have those messages until he matures more into his faith.   
      
   All I have said before has been to test that faith and now I need him to   
   believe in me so that I can give him messages from God.
