Do you know what Jesus told me once?
Because, I have no freaking idea...


I don't speak Aramaic.

1. But he must speak English, he's talked to some people. Why won't he speak to you in

English? Must be something wrong with you.

3. I assume He speaks in tongues
Besides, like all Americans he speaks English, right?

4. Geez, he talks to fat pasty white guys in English all the time.
Isn't English his native language? :eyes:

6. There are thoughts that such a thing would be below
the language centers of the brain. Not sure if it is true, and not saying I believe in such things.

But the concept is that if something or someone spoke to you, it would then go through a layer of language and be represented to a person based on their meanings of images and words as they know them.


That can also explain how if you think in terms of greed or have bias, it would, in that theory, distort the ideas.
