Oh, what does he know.

I sent him an email last year and asked if he'd like to see an image of a spirit that appeared in the background of a picture I took at my home. Here's what this genius had to say:

No, it's an image of what you choose to believe is a spirit."

There's no doubt about it, one day he'll get a clue.

Actually, I did post it on another thread quite awhile ago, but I saw that the image is gone, so I'll give you the link from my website. The reason I took this picture was to photograph the handprint of my daughter, who was about a year old at the time, so this is about 29 years old and the quality isn't so great. But beyond the handprint, there is a lady spirit who is standing at a doorway and she's facing to the left. It doesn't show up well on this scan, but her face and neck are blue on the original and you can see the neckline of her dress and there are buttons down the front and folds down the skirt and a hemline at the bottom.

I'm also going to link another spirit photo. This was taken in 1920 and in the image is Dr. Leslie Stone and his spirit soulmate Mary Kennedy. She was able to manifest a pretty clear image, however, keep in mind the age of this one, too. Dr. Stone was James Padgett's friend and he was responsible for compiling the automatic writings into books... the first book published in 1940.

SPIRIT PHOTOS of Mary Kennedy, soulmate of Dr. Stome, as she appeared in 1920, alone and with the publisher.

I couldn't 'remote view' the first one without upgrading my account, apparently, but I saw the other one Ok and - I'm sorry. I had to chuckle. Considering that the sitter is being cuddled by a pretty lady and a spirit one, too, he seems to be aware of no - one but the photographer.

Look a bit closer and note that the female figure is - sorry, can't avoid the term - painted in broader brushstrokes than the seated figure. The eyes are mere blobs while the sitter's are very clear. But I suppose one could explain that away as the result of being a spirit manifestation.

P.s I fear we are getting off - topic but it was an offshoot of Jesus' writing that he left..pretty recently. I have to say that I remain of the view that he not only left no writings, but the reported deeds and sayings are not to be given credence, either in the Gospels or in the spirit messages.

Of course if he was able to turn water into wine I wouldn't think that it would have been difficult at all to do so (obligatory sarcastic remark).
When you stop and think about it the Bible only contains written accounts of the life of Jesus that were written long after his death. Because Christians believe that the Bible is God's word wouldn't it have made alot more sense to have Jesus contribute a certain portion of the Bible in his own words? That would have ended so much of the speculation and unanswered questions regarding his life and his message. Has anyone ever heard of anything whatsoever that was ever written and directly attributed to Jesus?
He is God. He inspired the whole Bible....so all 66 books are his.

He never existed and so had nothing to do with the bible....so none of the books are his.

no he did not nor did he leave any finger prints or dna on typewriters when prepared the 4 gospels.
my best take is that jesus did exist and was 'the white budda" that is legend in the mideast. he is obviously not teaching a local religion. the utter blank on life of jesus from 12 to 30 years of age is probably the doing of the vatican.
