What I saw was oblong with lighted windows all around the upper level. Two levels only and the lower level was longer. Nothing at the windows but light. No motor sounds, just a quiet whooshing. And was very low.
I've read too many stories. But, you've piqued my curiosity about the scriptures. So will check. I'm not that close minded by the way. I listen to Kat Kerr. If you know of her, you know what I mean.
Plus, am going to order the writing of Lester Sumrall. He wrote a booklet but I've never read it. Just heard a few things he said. Will read with the scriptures.
Maybe this should be private, but I do believe these are the latter days and we as Christians need to be informed. Alert too. Don't go to sleep.

Have you ever wondered if you felt differently you would interpret the words differently?
Once you begin to see our experience and viewpoint predicts how some things will appear
one begins to understand things are not a certain as we might think.
It is why we need a pure heart, a praising mind and a clean conscience, so whatever the Lord
says to us we can truly respond in His will

This is not true. I watched that documentary. It looks like they go into some kind of hypnotic like state when they are readying themselves to pick up snakes.
God is wisdom. It's not wise to do this, nor have any of us been like these things I viewed on tv. I'd never be involved with this but hopefully if I got accidentally bit, outside by a coral snake which Florida has, I could shake it off in faith like Paul.
So quit asking this stupid question and stop trying to associate the things of Holy Spirit with superstitious actions.
Be filled yourself then you will know the difference.

The snake guys are nuts. Quite a few over the years have died from snake bites.
If they really followed their ideas you would allow the snakes to bite you and you would not die.
Only trouble is they would. So they are neither showing faith or victory, just they are crazy.
Paul was bitten by a snake and he did not die. But he did not seek it out, it was Gods timing and
provision.

That's the gift of discernment. Seeing them. What you saw Dcon, would scare me more than what I saw.
I've had angels come to me. The first one was a warrior type and scared me so bad I hit the floor shaking and wouldn't look. If he had spoken I would of died I think from fright. Was just newly born again.

This scripture tells us that tongues “will be stilled”:
1 Corinthians 13:8 Love never fails. But where there are prophecies, they will cease; where there are tongues, they will be stilled; where there is knowledge, it will pass away.
Tongues did not stop during the time Jesus Christ, the Apostles and Prophets were laying down the foundation because the Apostles were still writing the scriptures. Imagine if tongues had stopped in the people who had the gift, others would erroneously believe that God also took salvation away from them, since the Jews believed God accepted Gentiles as was evident by their speaking in words of God in different languages.
As for the statement in 1 Corinthians 13:10, “but when perfection comes, the imperfect disappears”, nowadays tongue speakers claim that tongue speaking will not cease until Jesus comes again. However, that scripture does not say tongues will not stop until Jesus comes again. That scripture is about Jesus coming the first time.
The prophets in the Old Testament prophesied about what was coming, and prophets in the New Testament prophesied about what came; prophesies from the past was being revealed.
This is what Paul says, “…where there are prophecies, they will cease; where there are tongues, they will be stilled; where there is knowledge, it will pass away. For we know in part and we prophesy in part, but when perfection comes, the imperfect disappears.”
The perfect has come. When you only have prophesy in part (as in the Old Testament times), the prophecy has not yet been fulfilled, or more prophecy is needed, it is imperfect, it is imperfect because the prophesy is in “part” or not yet fulfilled. However, when there is fulfillment of prophecy and or more prophecy for what we need to know is given (as in the New Testament times), then we have full understanding; so then, it is perfect and, that which is perfect is come.
The Old Testament believers waited a long time for God to reveal Jesus to us, and now finally, from the Bible, we see that God has revealed Jesus, in the New Testament; the perfect has come.
The Bible has everything we need to know for salvation. It is perfect. The New Testament is the “perfect law” given to us, James 1:25. The apostles from the New Testament received all the truth we need to guide us to eternal life, and they wrote this down in the Scriptures: John 16:13; 2 Peter 1:3; Acts 20:20, 27; Matthew 28:20; I Corinthians 14:37; 2 Timothy 3:16, 17; Romans 16:25-27.
We do not need anyone's tongue speaking to know more things about God's Truth as once was needed, we have the Bible, and it is finished.

However, tongues have since ceased. Jesus, the prophets and the apostles have laid the foundation; the Bible is finished. New prophecies and new knowledge have ceased also, just as the Bible says they would, for you know you cannot add new prophecies and new knowledge to the Bible.As for the statement in 1 Corinthians 13:10, “but when perfection comes, the imperfect disappears”, nowadays tongue speakers claim that tongue speaking will not cease until Jesus comes again.

I was having that discussion with Dcon last night...where do you get clay feet from or parable?
do you understand what the armor is for that is described in Ephesians? or do you see this also as a parable...
I really do not understand your conclusions here or why you would say those things
