Two views to consider

The issue I have with this is there is an assumed premise that any soul really needs to be saved. This shows only one side of any explanation. There is no other view allowed for.

. . . And then there is the whole thing that a simple electronic pulse to the right part of the brain gives you all that and more. Why don't we just hook ourselves up to some electrodes and be saved that way?

A soul only needs to be saved if the individual desires eternal life. If you don't seek it you will never find it.

As to your second point, the problem is that the experience is self initiated and the individual knows that. Furthermore, it wears off and the experiment must be repeated.

I was touched by the Holy Spirit on 16 March 1981 and it never wore off. The experience is as real now as it was then.

Look for the shiny things of God revealed by the Holy Spirit. They only last for an instant but it is a Holy Instant. Let your soul absorb them.

Plus, the electrode thing seems a bit expensive.

Tho I can certainly relate, my experience has become more practical for me than "theoretical" since I've been placed in some rather dire situations lately that test the limits of my faith and push me to apply the principles I've learned the last 10 years.

Through it all, I'm starting to understand more clearly 1 Corinthians 13:2:
"If I have the gift of prophecy and can fathom all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have a faith that can move mountains, but do not have love, I am nothing."

Never was there an answer....not without listening, without seeing - Gilmour
