This guy has a book called “Face to Face Appearances from Jesus”. How do you folks feel about this guy is he legitimate or is he a scammer.
I do not believe anyone who claims that they have seen Jesus, in person, face to face.

Why? The Apostle Paul saw Jesus. You don’t think it’s possible for Jesus to appear? I’m unsure but I also lean towards a no on this.

And Paul was an Apostle. They all died before the 1st century AD was complete. There are no more Apostles .

How do you know this? Where is this written? He claims to be an apostle also.
An Apostle appointed by Jesus was 1st and foremost an eyewitness of the Resurrected Savior called an eyewitness. The Apostle Paul's appeal in Acts and his epistles is one of an eyewitness of the Risen Lord and personally appointed by Him. The other Apostles confirmed that Paul was a fellow Apostle called by Christ just as they were called by Jesus to be His Apostles.

Luke 1:1-2
Many have undertaken to draw up an account of the things that have been fulfilled among us, 2 just as they were handed down to us by those who from the first were eyewitnesses and servants of the word.

Acts 5:29-32
Peter and the other apostles replied: "We must obey God rather than men! 30 The God of our fathers raised Jesus from the dead — whom you had killed by hanging him on a tree. 31 God exalted him to his own right hand as Prince and Savior that he might give repentance and forgiveness of sins to Israel. 32 We are witnesses of these things, and so is the Holy Spirit, whom God has given to those who obey him."

Acts 9:3-9
he neared Damascus on his journey, suddenly a light from heaven flashed around him. 4 He fell to the ground and heard a voice say to him, "Saul, Saul, why do you persecute me?"
5 "Who are you, Lord?" Saul asked.
"I am Jesus, whom you are persecuting," he replied. 6 "Now get up and go into the city, and you will be told what you must do."
7 The men traveling with Saul stood there speechless; they heard the sound but did not see anyone. 8 Saul got up from the ground, but when he opened his eyes he could see nothing. So they led him by the hand into Damascus. 9 For three days he was blind, and did not eat or drink anything.

1 Corinthians 15:3-8
3 For what I received I passed on to you as of first importance : that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures, 4 that he was buried, that he was raised on the third day according to the Scriptures, 5 and that he appeared to Peter, and then to the Twelve. 6 After that, he appeared to more than five hundred of the brothers at the same time, most of whom are still living, though some have fallen asleep. 7 Then he appeared to James, then to all the apostles, 8 and last of all he appeared to me also, as to one abnormally born.

1 Corinthians 9:1

Am I not free? Am I not an apostle? Have I not seen Jesus our Lord?

Acts 1:22
beginning from John's baptism to the time when Jesus was taken up from us. For one of these must become a witness with us of his resurrection."

Acts 22:14-15

14 "Then he said: 'The God of our fathers has chosen you to know his will and to see the Righteous One and to hear words from His mouth.

Acts 22:17-18
17
"When I returned to Jerusalem and was praying at the temple, I fell into a trance 18 and saw the Lord speaking. 'Quick!' he said to me. 'Leave Jerusalem immediately, because they will not accept your testimony about me.'

Acts 22:21

21 "Then the Lord said to me, 'Go; I will send you far away to the Gentiles.'"

Acts 26:13-18

About noon, O king, as I was on the road, I saw a light from heaven, brighter than the sun, blazing around me and my companions. 14 We all fell to the ground, and I heard a voice saying to me in Aramaic, a '
Saul, Saul, why do you persecute me? It is hard for you to kick against the goads.'
15 "Then I asked, 'Who are you, Lord?'
'I am Jesus, whom you are persecuting,' the Lord replied. 16 'Now get up and stand on your feet. I have appeared to you to appoint you as a servant and as a witness of what you have seen of me and what I will show you. 17 I will rescue you from your own people and from the Gentiles. I am sending you to them 18 to open their eyes and turn them from darkness to light, and from the power of Satan to God, so that they may receive forgiveness of sins and a place among those who are sanctified by faith in me.'

Galatians 1:1

Paul, an apostle — sent not from men nor by man, but by Jesus Christ

I think I understand your argument but David Taylor claims that he saw Christ how can we know if he is telling the truth or not?

Because Jesus does not have anymore Apostles. He only appeared to one person after His ascension and that was Paul.

Some decades ago a then well known radio/TV evangelist said he saw a 900 foot tall Jesus and that God told him if he did not raise a certain amount of money by a certain date God was going to take him out.

Yeah well there are clearly some strange things that happen in Jesus name. But that doesn’t mean that everything that happens in Jesus name is a joke. At this point I am questioning if this guy is for real. I have called his prayer line many times and they do pray some powerful prayers.
