I know the Experience you speak of. I assure you, it is definitely not exclusive to Christians. I know this firsthand.
In regards to your comment about comparing the sensations that those of other religions experience, how can you rightfully do so when you have never been in their shoes? You have no idea what they experienced and what they felt.
God loves everyone, not just Christians.
Nothing gets under a Christian's skin quite so much as when you attempt to tell them that ALL roads lead Home, not just theirs, and that eventually every single soul in existence will find their way Home. Why is that? Why the need to believe that you are in some special club and that everyone who doesn't belong will suffer some hellish fate? Just because it says so in a book, doesn't mean it's true. Why the need to put down others who find their own path?
If you want respect for your way, then you must respect the way of others. It is possible to be an atheist and be a good person. And whatever men believe or disbelieve, if it serves good, it serves God.
Salvation for a Hindu is called Moksha. Moksha is when an enlightened human being is freed from the cycle of life-and-death (the endless cycle of death and reincarnation) and comes into a state of completeness. He then becomes one with God. There are four ways to Moksha: 1. The Way of Action: This involves carrying out certain religious ceremonies, duties and rites. The objective is to perform works without regard for personal gain. 2. The Way of Knowledge: This requires using your mind and philosophy to come to a complete comprehension of the universe. 3. The Way of Devotion: Salvation is reached through acts of worship, based upon the love for a God (there are thousands of gods in Hinduism). 4.The Royal Road: The use of meditation and yoga techniques. This method of reaching salvation is typically only used by wandering monks. Each of these ways to salvation in Hinduism requires that a person do certain things. Salvation is through what a Hindu does. It is through human works.
Judaism stresses the fact that instead of "salvation," one's relationship with God has to be based on three elements: repentance - "teshuva," good deeds resulting from repentance - "tzedakah and mitzvot" and a life of devotion - "kavanah and tefilah."
Islam also stresses that in order to gain salvation, one must also avoid sinning along with performing good deeds.

Thought you were done posting. Here's a fact: You have an arrogance complex.
You will not acknowledge that fact, or any other facts, because you're in love with your bratty attitude.
But, the mayan calendar does not end until the last 5.25 days of the last 260 years of 360 day play out. That is 12/21/12 + 1365 days= 9/16/2016 + 7 year tribulation = 9/16/2023.
The number 1365 is in Numbers ch 3. It represents the redemption of the remainder. So 12/21/12 kicked off a countdown.
The jew were never authorized by God to use the lunar cycle as the reconing of months. Therefore, the feast of trumpets occurs on Sept 16th, of each solar year. Rosh Chodesh means new month, not new moon. The new moon definition was adopted later. So the true ending of the mayan calendar ends with the Biblical feast of trumpets.
David appointed 24 military leaders for the solar year. Thats 2 generals for each of the 12 months. The false luni-solar calendar (which was adopted during Babylonian captivity) requires a 13th intercalary month every 2 to 3 years. David never made provisions for a 13th month, because a 13th month was not part of the original Jewish calendar. The book of Jubilees verifies this.
So all this suggests that when Meso-American made it to the Americas, they believed in Yahweh before adopting the whole Quetzlquetl stuff.
Thats about 20 pages of research boiled down into one paragraph.
Read it slowly. There is no need to show off.
And God said, "Let there be lights in the vault of the sky to separate the day from the night, and let them serve as signs to mark sacred times, and days and years". (Genesis 1:14) The Hebrew word for "signs" is "Owth". This literally means "A signal or beacon, a flag". The word for “seasons” is the Hebrew "moadim" and means literally, "appointed times". In other words the moon, sun and stars were created also for the purpose of being a marker or signpost for God's divine appointments with His people, which we have already seen in the previous chapter are marked by the Feasts of the Lord. Thus when you combine both the Feasts of the Lord with signs in the sky happening on the same day - you should take note of their importance.

1948 and 1967 are decoy dates set up by the Zionist. Israel wont be regathered until the 2nd advent which will be in2023 by my calculations. I could be wrong, but the only prophesy for the Church is the closing of the Church aka rapture. My rapture date is 9/16/2016.
The number 1365 is in Numbers ch 3. It represents the redemption of the remainder.
This is the account of the family of Aaron and Moses at the time the Lord spoke to Moses at Mount Sinai.
So, every 19 years from Jesus death, the astro new moon falls on the vernal equinox. Thats called the metonic cycle. Jesus was illustrating that the moon does not dictate the starting of the months. The year 2023 is 105 (49+7+49) metonic cycles from the death of Jesus. Subtract 7 years, and you get feast of trumpets 2016, the 180th day of the year. The feast of trumpets is where Jesus left off.
The feast of Trumpets was sometimes called “The feast of the unknown day and hour” because unlike other feasts, it began at the time of the new moon on the first day of the month known as Tishri

God put signs in the heavens for us to see that those dates were special friend. There were blood moon tetrads in 1949-1950, and again there were tetrads in 1967-1968, now the next time this occurs will be 2014-2015
Now lets subtract 1967-1949=19
and again lets subtract 2014-1967=48
OH WOW ITS 1948 the year israel was reborn, and also the start of the rapture clock coincidence, I think not.
You seem to be Mormon the way your talking about the Native Americans believing in YHWHedit on 6-9-2013 by ServantOfTheLamb because: (no reason given)
Well, Juda ben Samuel predicted the re-establishment of Israel, the 1967 war, and said that the Messiah will come in2017. He was a non-Christian cabalist. I think the Illuminati, or whatever you wanna call them, used this model to make the political state of Israel look like fullfilment of prophecy. Israel will be re-established when the Messiah returns, and the Jews have full control of the land. At that point, all of the OT saints will be ressurected to greet them. Those things havent happened yet. The modern state of Israel is a false flag so that satan can lure the Jews into one place, and spring his trap. Daniel's 70th week proves that Israel only has 7 years left on its time clock. The Churh fills in the gap. The modern state of Israel is interesting as it shows Satan's preparation for the tribulation, but it is not prophesy. All prophesy was paused when the Book of Revelation was written. Prophecy will restart at the rapture. The Church is the dispensation of prophetic silence and historical trends. If God chooses, he can destroy modern Israel and let the Church go on for another thousand years, but I dont see that being the case. Im not a mormon, but look at some of the native american beliefs. Some believe that man was created from clay, by the Great Spirit "Yahowah". And the name for man means red clay. Many native americans look semitic, maybe not jewish, but possibly Pheonecian (the sea fairing people). Some of the mayan language has similar morphology to hebrew. So its possible that a semitic tribe was evangelized by the Hebrews, and carried that knowledge to the Americas. Later, that knowledge degenerated. Its not an absurd concept.
At this time, Judah Ben Samuel published the results of his biblical calculations (Gematria) and astrological observations and summarized as follows: “When the Ottomans (Turks) – who were already a power to be reckoned with on the Bosporus in the time of Judah Ben Samuel – conquer Jerusalem they will rule over Jerusalem for eight jubilees. Afterwards Jerusalem will become no-man’s land for one jubilee, and then in the ninth jubilee it will once again come back into the possession of the Jewish nation – which would signify the beginning of the Messianic end time.”

What makes you think the mayan calendar has anything to do with the Bible. The astronomical event that occurred that day very well might have been a sign from God but the calendar wouldn't have anything to do with it? And I am sorry but it will take my awhile to read that research. However in the meantime look into the Blood moon tetrads, as well as read the link below.
