Kim Michaels' Ham Fisted Attempt At Theodicy

Kim Michaels is a Dane that claims to be the "messenger" of Jesus Christ, Zarathustra, Shiva and St Germaine. That is to say, Mr Michaels "channels" these gods, demi-gods and luminaries. At his site askrealjesus.com you can send your questions and have Jesus -- yes Jesus -- answer them.
Danish fruitcake or con-artist -- you decide.

In this video, Mr Michaels is speaking to us as Mr Michaels and takes a stab at "theodicy". Theodicy is a branch of theology concerned with justifying the goodness of god especially in relation to the problem of evil. Mr Michaels rehashes an old argument from theodicy, namely the free-will defense of divine hiddeness (which is pretty much dead amongst contemporary theistic philosophers of religion) and folds in an assortment of irrelevant and superfluous New Age ideas about "energy" and "vibrations". Overall its an amateurish and ham-fisted attempt at philosphy that could only perusuade someone with no acquaintance with contemporary philosophy of religion.

I have plastered my thoughts all over his video.

You seem terrified.

If you are situated in the truth there is nothing to defend and thus why attack someone? Does it benefit you to prove this man wrong? Of course it does because if you can prove him wrong you can feel safe in your own beliefs which are false and because they are false they need constant defence from opposing views.

The world is a threat to you.

If I "seem" terrified then you are a bad mind reader. Why attack someone that is propagating superstition if not lies? Because lies and superstition are harmful and deserve attack. It benefits everyone to demonstrate that Kim Michaels is a "false prophet". How do you know that my beliefs are false? Falsehood, ignorance and superstition are a threat to Western civilisation, science, peace and progress. Parts of the "world" _are_ a threat to me (eg. bureaucrats) as they are to everyone.

Would a true messenger from Jesus leave his wife for a pretty young follower of almost half his age, who worshiped his wisdom? Mr Michaels has gone up the primrose path of Mind over Heart, sadly

dont drink his koolaid!!!!!

But then...we have 'freewill' and have the right to think,question as we wish...I wish you well :))....lets go beyond all norms...and keep evolving...find out who we really are...and what our true potential is!

[saritace3]

Once you know peace,even for a milisecond~then you will know. Nobody can tell us what exists beyond the physical, it can only 'start' to be understood through our own experimentation and experience and even then what we experience...is just a tiny part of what exists, we are human and humans have the habit of 'thinking' we know it all which actually when you think of the size of us floating around in space is rather arrogant.

To Arnold,

If you would investigate yourself through meditation and self inquiry you would find God to be real and would realize that what Jesus said was true. Until you undergo being a Spiritual scientist and see for yourself that God is real, you continue to be person with assumptions who is merely window shopping 1 idea vs another. Belief is one thing, but some know beyond belief as a direct experience the existence of God and Jesus

Try to read the messages on his site with an open mind.

Don't think that the bible is infallible like so many Christians do.

Read the messages from Kim with your heart.

Kim Michaels has an diffend approach on spirituality them most religious people.

Jesus said "Enter through the narrow gate. For wide is the gate and broad is the road that leads to destruction, and many enter through it. 14But small is the gate and narrow the road that leads to life, and only a few find it" (Matthew 7)

Most Christians are on the broad way thinking they are saved just by declaring Jesus to be there saviour.

Kim Michaels found the narrow way and is trying to teach this to others.

He's saying "you're not coerced, therefore you have freewill" But cause and effect isn't the same thing.
