Yes, I cannot tell the names due to their privacy, but I know of a whole intelligent, college educated, decent family that were atheists and against religion, and I knew them for over 50 years, and one day, I was visiting them and they told me something that happened and they said the Name of Jesus with Love. The way they said His Name, I knew they really did meet Him.

And how EXACTLY do you know this?

Have you ever heard a person say someone's name with love or with hatred? Think about West Side Story, when the boyfriend sang, "I just met a girl named Maria?" Almost no human being is so screwed that they cannot recognize love. They said His Name with more love than I have ever heard anyone speak it. I sat there, and I said to myself, "Wow, they really did encounter Jesus."

I would like to meet him, and discuss a few things that are on my mind.

Divorces happen every day because true love can be very difficult if not impossible to determine. If you've known them for over 50 years, I have to believe that the kids are adults by now. You say family. That would include children and probably grand children, and possibly more. Do you intend to modify your story to better match the facts on the ground? If your whole story is accurate, exactly as told, what are you suggesting it proves? Very straight people can become dope addicts at 50, or 60, or even later. You will resist the parallels, but they are there. What are you suggesting it proves? "When you were a drunk, you never shared your booze. When you were a drug addict you never shared your drugs. Now that you are addicted to Jesus, don't stray from the routine. If they have actually become Christians, shouldn't they be proclaiming that to the skies, rather than swearing you to secrecy?
Just the fact that you refer to the family as "perfect" brings into question, just how well you really know them.

It was a family of 4, the father is now in Heaven. Yes, I would love to contact them for you, but please don't ask me to do that. The two children now have families, in states I'm not exactly sure. I have never brought up the subject again, they are the ones who told me about their encounter with Jesus, and I do NOT know their relationship with Him now. The mother, now a widow, is in Florida, she's in her 80's now, if you push me, I could call her, but she's probably on a cruise ship somewhere. Please don't ask me to. You might think I push people but I don't. I really don't want to put Ann on the spot. And it would be putting her on the spot to ask her about that afternoon. If she ever brought up the subject then I would ask her for you. Jesus encountered a lot of people even in his day, and helped and saved a lot of people, and fed 5,000 men plus women and children with just 5 loaves and 2 fishes. He only picked out 12 apostles... I just can't ask Ann out of the blue... if she called me, and she does, and if she talked about Jesus, I promise I'll ask her. But I'm NOT going to bring up the subject with her. I'm sorry. My heart hurts just thinking about putting her on the spot. I don't know if these people have ever even gone to a Church building in their life, even after that experience they told me about. I believe Jesus saved them, I know He did, in my heart.

Believe me, they looked like the perfect family, they loved each other, they worked hard, they were atheists, and yes, there are grandchildren now. There are a LOT of Christians that do NOT proclaim it to the skies. I am not God. I believe that if you just speak the Name of Jesus once in your Life. All Power in Heaven and Earth has been given to Him . He is the Son of God, higher than the Angels, read Paul's letter to the Hebrews in the New Testament. You will be shocked.

Interesting concept. All you need do is mention Jesus?
Wow, I've been saved. I've mentioned his name more than once when I missed the nail and hit my thumb with the hammer.
Good to know.

GalaxyCat Loc: Boston, MA

Yes, that is how Powerful the Name of Jesus is. You are going to Heaven to live forever and ever. God made it easy to be saved.

EyeSawYou

You must have skipped over the “Love” part the OP mention in context of the name Jesus that was verbalized.

Wow, Frankie just shows his stupidity over and over and...

It’s okay. He’s a sinner. God loves sinners even more than the righteous who don’t feel that they need Him.
