So we had a pretty lengthy conversation on experiences and that didn't really go anywhere.
So far this is what I have:

1. Many things aren't known.
2. There could be a couple of different reasons why, but us not knowing is intentional on God's part.
3. We should be seaching the scripture anyway.
4. Experiences can be valid, but nobody really knows. Depends on a lot of things.
At this point, my questions still remain open to some consideration and feedback.
One of the things I love about this forum (you guys/gals) is the ability to ask a question and get a response (several).
Often times there are a couple of different ways to approach the topic and different ways you can interpret the passage or passages.
Typically each of those approaches (though not everyone agrees) are viable.
At the scholarly level it seems to be even more complicated.
The question is still open. Anything more thoughts?
