How I met Jesus Face-to-Face

One thing I found interesting is the "nickel-sized" wounds. The nails the Romans used to crucify people were about 3/4" wide, which is indeed the diameter of a nickel.

Interesting that the nail wound scars were in the right place. Of course by now most people know the nails went through the wrist and not the palms. The lack of beard is out of place though.

Too bad there is no way to verify or disprove the mans story. He could have hallucinated it or fabricated it. Who knows?

But in the wrong place. They would be in the wrists, not the palms. I was strongly reminded of the 'encounters with an alien' stories I read in the Flying Saucer mags. in the Ufo days, and they would often give themselves away with something that they got wrong.

They got the nail positions right. The article said; "the palm side of the wrists" and "the back of the hand side of the wrists". The man had to pull the sleeves back to see the scars.

Yeah, I jumped on that one too but re-read it, luckily.

I'm hesitant to dismiss the story out of hand but ....

Jesus often show up to people who end up starting a Ministry through Jesus Christ ........ heard of a ministry where Jesus burned a cross right in the man hand , ...........and others like Apostle Paul which was struck blind where he became an Apostle through Jesus ...............When I first turn to Jesus, He showed here the eternal light of God for five minutes , which was pure white light with no color in the flame .............. heard this one ministry were this man had a church and the devil took over his church which was the end so he turn back to Jesus and Jesus cleaned his church and his ministry grew many more times

As Jesus died 2000 years ago it was not him the guy encountered.
