There was no one there. I immediately prayed and asked God and Jesus and the Holy Spirit to come in, just in case thats what it was.
So, I rewound the audio Bible. No knocks there, either. It was Numbers.
Then I found this while looking up "Bible two knocks"
Revelation 3:20 – Behold, I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears My voice and opens the door, I will come in to him and dine with him, and he with Me.
I haven't gotten that far in the Bible yet! I may have heard that verse before but never ruminated on it.
It was a profound experience for me, wanted to share and ask you guys if you'd experienced anything like this.
Apologies for my absence, by the way. I've taken a break to work on myself and to try to find/strengthen my faith.
Think about everything you said specifically. When you say “I believe God and angels sometimes do visit us,” you must state when and where. You said, “I think man has corrupted the Bible,”. Please give specific examples of where the Bible is corrupted. Lastly, you said, “I do believe there is a higher power that guides us...”. Why do you believe that?
My beliefs of what you said and why, 1, God and angels have visited us in the past and Jesus Christ, the God-man visited us. However there are no visits after the New Testament was completed. 2nd- I believe the Bible is inerrant in its original manuscripts. Those manuscripts have been accurately translated over the generations, as proven by the discovery of the Dead Sea Scrolls, That said, man is always trying to rewrite God’s Word to suit his own wicked intentions as evidenced by false religions like JWs, Mormons, Scientologists, etc. Lastly, God has given everyone a conscience that informs him/her of sin. Believers have the Holy Spirit indwelling them as a ‘Helper’ to allow them to discern true from false doctrine. The Word of God also provides guidance by which believers are to live their lives.
Dig deeply into your Bible. If you have never read the Bible, start in First John, then 2nd John, then 3 rd John, then the Gospel of John. Find a Church that preaches verse by verse through the New Testament. You will grow in your faith. Blessings to you.
I've had great pain when husband died son in the Army died. I personally was visited. Not just once. So I believe.
Re men corrupting the Bible, the church has hidden what they did not want us to know... men are men and there is corruption in all walks of life. If all men of God were good, there would not be so many molested children and alter boys. Peace my friend.
I'm sorry for your loss. I know it hurts. I agree with your account of the Apostate Church. The Catholic Church says the Pope is head of the Church, but the Bible says that Jesus Christ is the head of the Church, and that He will build His Church, and the gates of Hades will not over power it.
You are a good man. Thanks for all you do.
