Hello Tony, thanks for responding.

"Jesus did not appear to them for no reason. The men were preached to."

Of course Jesus appeared to them for a reason.

They were ready to receive Him.

Jesus knew that.

"I shall quote your article:

"As we moved these men to safety, we fed them, washed their clothes, and began to read the Bible to them — sharing the way of peace through Jesus. "

To say it's a miracle Jesus appeared to them in their dreams is not correct. The men were in a terribly vulnerable state, and preaching to them in that state obviously hit home with them."

It wasn't the preaching that got them, my friend.

Keep reading the article.

They didn't respond to the preaching.

They only responded when all 200 shared the same dream on the same night -- when all 200 met Jesus at the same time.

You keep acting as though the central moment of this article didn't happen. But it's the only reason we're talking about this at all.

"Yes, I do understand Christianity--probably a lot better than you do."

It's very hard to understand Christ without following Him, my friend.
