Maybe, just maybe, Dawnmarie was referring to 2 Corinthians 12. Oh, in the Bible, Epistles of St Paul….

I know how I read it, and I think I know in what context it appeared to be written. Argue, discuss and ask honest questions… don't try to make a laughingstock out of another human being.
As for my humble post, read it please again and if you are still flummoxed, then, by all means look up the word 'sarcasm' in the dictionary. If still a problem for you, well….

I find this post as confusing as your answer to DougB. He was questioning DawnMarie's contradictory statement about Paul writing about something he was not to write about, and you jumped all over him. And now you're jumping all over him again. You made a laughingstock (or tried to) out of him first, and now you accuse him of doing exactly what you just did. But IMO, he didn't I understood his post to be genuine, but not your sarcastic response to it.
There are many, many people who do not believe the Bible is inerrant, and just because one person said death experiences are not true because it says so in the Bible does not mean the rest of us have to buy that.
First DawnMarie says these experiences aren't true because of science. Then she says they aren't true because of the Bible. I don't see how she can make these blanket statements. She cannot say what other people have experienced.
