Christian ChatNEAR DEATH Experiences/Testimonies or out of Body Exp.??? :: Re: ReplyRe: Reply
Thanks LindaBee2 for your interest in this discussion, Within my research I have found that the ones (NDE's/ODE's) that are most credible are those encounters which have taken place before meds became involved. This is not to discredit the ones who saw what they saw after taking meds, but It's just something to take into consideration. There are also several great research websites that I can send you on this subjuct if you're interested. Sevryn45 made a good point about the med hallucinations. HOWEVER, to say that ALL OF THE THOUSANDS of experiencers were JUST hallucinations would be to deny the existence of the spiritual realm. Wether we want to face it or not, there are people who have come in contact with real spirit beings wether it be Angels or demons. As far as those who claim to have seen "scary ghost" or "deceased relatives" (ME PERSONALLY) I believe those to be hallucinations or spiritual demonic deceptions. Anything from GOD will not frighten us. The following website (although not the best one) does not include any personal experiences but is a great observation from Kenneth Ring, Ph.D. http://www.word-gems.com/death.nde.ring.html All of the credible ones have the same things in common from Christians to Muslims to Atheist. The following points are what I find to be most interesting: 1. Some of the experiencers were able to accurately describe what went on around them as they were clinically dead (flat-lined) as well as what went on in other rooms. 2. All of the credible experiencers (to include Believers, Non-believers, new age, those with NO biblical knowledge and even atheist) testified about being in the presence of or moving toward a luminous light & having a feeling of great comfort and bliss and of being surrounded by compassionate love, a feeling so beautiful they longed to remain and a love so strong that it could not be described with human words. There is only one who can put you in the presence of love to that extent. Not anyone in our lives, not even all of life's emotions from every loving person combined. Only JESUS himself. Now, I do acknowledge the fact the some of these individuals are liars seeking attention from those who are naive, but GOD reveals those who are lying and those who are being truthful. Through Christ, we have to let our own faith decide for us. I have never been injured nor have I ever tried drugs, alcohol or any intense meds and I have had several Angelic encounters. No one can convince me that I am out of my mind for that. Being chosen to see some of GOD's beautiful creations from the other side is an awesome blessing and an experience that no one can take from me. BUT THE WAY, Angelic encounters and out of body experiences are biblical. for ex: The entire book of Revelation, Isaiah's commision and the Angel which informed the desciples that Jesus Christ will return the same way you saw him depart. Yes those were nearly two millieniums ago, but GOD changes NOT!!! thanks for reading |
