Watch this VIDEO ...
It's things like this that make me think about reincarnation. The kid's 3 years old !!! Saw another 12 year old jazz virtuoso on piano the other day. Simply amazing.
Mozart stands out as one of history's further examples of a genius musical savante.
Children speaking ancient foreign languages is another pheonomenon i find difficult to understand other than within the context of some previous wordly existence.

Demon possession?
Satan's demons possess people and endow them with supernatural powers. the idea is to fool enough people into thinking false religions are legit. Win a few minds away from the one true faith, Christianity. |

I don't believe in the Devil. I definitely tried to sell my soul for a night with Sporty Spice, oh about five years back. Not a peep. Couldn't reach him. |

Hello, I Got This Guitar!
Mozart had a better environment influences than most of us.
When he was three years old, his father got a leave of absence from his music teaching job to stay home and teach little Wolfie full-time.
Some say that Wolfie's father did this out of love, some say that he did it for life insurance.
The environmental factor explains some of it, but one can debate whether or not it explains all of it. I have a new job in which I teach English to a small group of 4-year-olds for 4 hours a day. We will see whether or not whether my students learn as much English as Wolfie did music.
Hello, Joe Doufu!
I heard somewhere that this is how one becomes a witch or warlock:
You go out into the forest and recite The Lord's Prayer backward. Then Satan will come up and make a deal with you.
I'm not sure whether that's backwards word for word, syllable for syllable, or phoneme for phoneme. Did you try it all three ways? |

Christianity is not about churches or vicars. Thats just optional "social life".
Its a simple decision to Accept Christ's sacrifice for your soul, or not. Thats it. thats all it is...wether you enter a church again or not ever is irrelevant. Its just you, and God, Jesus. Nothing more, nothing less. Its a personal decision that has nothing to do with going to or belonging to any organised group.
I haven't entered a church for about 20 years:) |

| If you were reincarnated, would you need to take lessons again? I haven't seen the videos, but I'm assuming that the kids had to practise a bit beforehand. |

So if I was to say, "Hey Jesus, I accept you as my savior, etc" I'd be covered for the whole afterlife, just in case he exists?
Would it have the same effect if I typed it on an internet forum?

You may want to add a request to forgive your sin: but yes: a simple and honest prayer to Jesus, and you're set. You are covered. The free gift of eternal life, is yours.
You may want to read the bible for further instructions, but the essential deal is done. |

How honest is "honest"? What if I think Christianity is ridiculous but I'm just trying to cover all my bases? |
