A revelation from a deity would consist of knowledge of absolute truth. A perfect god, in the sense of a perfectly good god, would pass on pure intelligence that represents perfect goodness or love. The emotions can accompany, but they are only a part of it. The intellectual side must be present also. Otherwise, you wouldn't be doing it right. I think most leave out the intellectual part. They feel good and say "I know its true!" and hardly ever study again. Thats absurd in my opinion.
I would slightly agree. I think too many Christians, including Mormons, trick themselves into this "warm chest" feeling and convince themselves of this due to a misunderstood reading. The "hearts burning within" the disciples is a figure of speech. Fire burns and gives off light and heat. Therefore, the "burning" consists of "light" or "enlightenment, knowledge" and "warmth" or "goodness". I think many Christians miss the Hebraic symbolism behind this phrase.
>if you feel that spirit. that'll be enough for you
That warming of the heart you refer to is called delusion. Brainwashing is a powerful force. Your god is a myth. Joe was a con man as was his father.
