Near Death Experience (NDE) and the Bible

Why ask why?

Did the man get free?

Was the man sitting at the feet of Jesus, clothed, and in his right mind afterwards?

Then that's all that matters.

Trust God Stealth Moose.

The secret things belong to God.

Deuteronomy 29:29
“The secret things belong to the Lord our God, but those things which are revealed belong to us and to our children forever, that we may do all the words of this law.

We may never know the answer to your question, but you know what?

We don't need an answer.

Why ask why? If Jesus let Hitler into heaven, would you say, why ask why?

Jesus Christ died for Hitler's sins just like he died for mine, yours, everyone reading this post, and the sins of the entire world.

No one is good enough to enter Heaven on their own merit.

God is not willing that any should perish.

If Hitler repented of his sins, and confessed Jesus Christ as Lord, believing that God raised Him from the dead--then He would have the right--through the shed Blood of Jesus Christ--to come boldly to the throne of grace in Heaven--because the wages of his sins were paid for by Jesus.

Unlike people, God is no respecter of persons.

God is love.

Heaven is not a place.

God is love, so Hitler can go to heaven, but the non-believing Jews he killed probably go to hell.

Legit religion, JIA.

Jesus died for the unbelieving Jews too.

If they had repented of their sins, and confessed Jesus Christ as Lord, believing that God raised Jesus from the dead--then yes, they too would be saved.

So what you're dancing around here, without saying it aloud and taking personal responsibility for it since you believe in it utterly, is that because people like Anne Frank went to their deaths without believing in Jesus the Carpenter Messiah but believed in the God he seemingly sprang from went to Hell?

We are not saved by our own merit.

Jesus is the only One good enough to go to Heaven.

Then believe in Jesus and go forth and sin to your hearts content. That is the problem with your belief.

That's called practicing lawlessness.

A person who thinks that they can just live like the devil and still enter Heaven is not truly saved in the first place.

Remember, a person must first repent, which means to have a change of heart, to change one's mind.

To repent of one's sins is to go and sin no more.

If you do sin we have an Advocate with the Father, the Man Christ Jesus.

It is a heart issue.

God knows whether a person is truly repentant or not.

We must bear fruits worthy of repentance (i.e. live a life consistent with our confession of repentance).

We will still sin, over, and over, and over again until we die and enter Heaven.

But the one practicing sin, with a heart that has no intention of ever repenting, is a heart that was never truly born again.

There's a difference.

Why not just be thankful for however He choses to do whatever He does in a given situation?

God is smarter than me.

God is smarter than you.

Yes, JIA, why ask about everything God does?

Or, the same words in a different way, "Why must you prove everything that God did really happen?"

Lack of faith.

There is an afterlife (hereafter).

Ponder this truth all day...

Why focus on death? Why not focus on a better life?

Reincarnation is satan's lie.

Satan is not real, so how could he lie, or do anything?

There is another world beyond the grave.

People who die, do not come back from the dead. Those who had a NDE did not die.
