what do you say about people who receive private sensory revelations? Is it a sign from GOD or is it a form of mental illness? Some types can be found in in the old testament book of Daniel while the book of Corinthians goes into great detail about having the so called gift of speaking in tongues. Also the book of Acts and ending in the last book of Revelation People I feel experienced hallucinations claiming they received visions and heard voices. This is signs of mental illness .i`m not branding only one segment of the church, Say protestants like the Pentecostals or the Roman Catholics But I believe this is wide spread. And it can become extremely dangerous. What has your experience been since the majority of Atheist were once confessing and practicing Christians. I have a lot to discuss since I came out of a Roman Catholic and Pentecostal background. thanks billy
