not that we know of, Tinky. :biggrin2: who knows what types of answers he gave those who must have bewilderingly questioned him..?

i don't think we can justify NDE's with scripture, but we sure cannot condemn them unless they contradict it.

i am of the opinion and experience that the Creator of the heavens and earth can rearrange reality itself in order to draw me nearer to Him.

just my 2 cents.

:thumbsup: I agree, If people are coming to the Lord because of their NDE, what's wrong with that?

May I ask why, those who said they didn't believe?

Easy. The Bible says, "It is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment." (Hebrews 9:27)

Notice it doesn't say, "It is appointed unto men once to die, or maybe twice, or a few times, and after this come back and share your experiences."

Also, a lot of these "went to hell" stories have demons or the Devil himself tormenting people. That is not biblical. Hell was originally created for the Devil and his angels, as a place of punishment. There are no demons or Satan in hell right now. It's the very last place they want to be. They know one day they will indeed be there, for their everlasting punishment. They are not now, nor ever will be, in charge of hell, in any way.

Yes,it is not like the "Far Side Cartoons". They almost make it look comical.A man coming up to a podium, Satan:

"Would you like smoking or non smoking?Only kidding it is all smoking".

One point I'd like to make, is we don't need NDE's. We have the Bible. We don't need tours of heaven or hell to validate anything. Especially when most people who supposedly went to heaven come back with a message of universalism. And again, those who come back from "hell" with stories of demons tormenting them, or other people, are deceived. Hell is a place of punishment for Satan and his demons too.

We have blind faith.Isn't that what believing in Jesus is all about?

no!

Are you being sarcastic (sorry, I can't tell online)

We have a lot of reasons to have strong faith. Not blind at all! We see the resurrection, fulfilled prophecy, the bible in general, the witness of creation.The bible teaches us about heaven and hell. We lived indwellled by the Holy Spirit.

This is not a blind faith.

like i said..if their testimony contradicts scripture it can be rejected.

but we must remember that we are not perfect, and so someone's interpretation of what was revealed to them may not line up with scripture..this can be because their knowledge of scripture is lacking or because their interpretation of scripture is in error.

this does not necessarily mean that their vision or testimony is satanic in origin, or they are deceived.

personally, i didn't have the Bible before i was redeemed, because i didn't want the Bible. i didn't believe it, so God had other plans.

i was made to experience demonic manifestation in order to instill the true fear of God's wrath upon my soul.

apparently i needed that, and not the Bible to come to the foot of the cross.

and this woman, was made to receive a vision after attempted suicide for the same effect.

God is sovereign.

I don't believe she was offended, but she is right. Our faith shouldn't be a blind faith. Mines not. I know exactly why I believe.

Did you read the Got Questions article?You are taking it all wrong.Blind Faith means that we still have Faith in Jesus Christ even though we have never seen him and we do not need any evidence to support our faith.

Unfortunately Tamara Laroux and her claims have already been widely discredited as a farce. Usually I wouldn't bother posting on anything with the words '700 club' in the hilt, but i just thought there might be some people interested in knowing this woman is only interested in a little TV facetime and if you do a little research you will find she never shot herself. I feel a great deal of sadness for this woman, who feels she needs to lie under the guise of spiritual ascension to feel whole.
 Perhaps one day when she realizes all her worldly things will fall away and she too will return full circle, not to a glorious gate of reward that lies in wait for her, or a burning pit of pennance, she will have no need for the stories of old that she today blankets her false claims in. Miss Laroux, unlikely though it is you will ever see these words for you, I will pray one day you see that god... is you :]

    • You are coming up higher in this season – above the assignments of character assassination and verbal arrows sent to manage you, contain you, and derail your purpose. Where you have had your dreams and sleep robbed, as well as your peace and clarity robbed – leaving you feeling foggy, confused, and heavy – God is, right now, bringing freedom back -- now you will clearly see the smoke and mirrors that were set to distract you and you will disengage.

      Right now God is declaring a "no access zone" around you, and your enemies will no longer have any entry point into your life. Oil is being poured over you to restore the years that the locust ate and give you back your passion. This is where you will feel a fresh roar begin to erupt from your inner being, and a call to leave the trenches behind and begin your odyssey in your Christ calling moving you to bear fruit that remains as you minister to and disciple others into their Christ identity.

      This is where you leave the trenches and scale the mountain to fight from a different place, from victory, from peace, and from rest. Now watch as God leads you up higher above all the noise, above all the chaos, and shows you where you have been seated all along with Him in heavenly places where you are UNTOUCHABLE. This is where you leave the soul fight, and the mind battle, and learn to fight differently.

      You will know how to live like an eagle and lead others to the same place of safety and protection that God led you to, which broke you out of the silent prison you were in. Put your war boots on and get ready to fight back! Refuse to lay down -- get out of bed and rebuke what is coming at you. Remember where you are seated and live from that place.

      Acts 1:8 - “But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you, and you will be my witnesses … to the end of the earth.”

    • George Whitten, the visionary behind Worthy Ministries and Worthy News, explores the timing of the Simchat Torah War in Israel. Is this a water-breaking moment? Does the timing of the conflict on October 7 with Hamas signify something more significant on the horizon?

    • Understanding the Enemy!

      I thought I write about the flip side of a topic, and how to recognize the attempts of the enemy to destroy lives and how you can walk in His victory!

      For the Apostle Paul taught us not to be ignorant of enemy's tactics and strategies.

      2 Corinthians 2:112  Lest Satan should get an advantage of us: for we are not ignorant of his devices. 

      So often, we can learn lessons by learning and playing "devil's" advocate.  When we read this passage,

      Mar 3:26  And if Satan rise up against himself, and be divided, he cannot stand, but hath an end. 
      Mar 3:27  No man can enter into a strong man's house, and spoil his goods, except he will first bind the strongman; and then he will spoil his house. 

      Here we learn a lesson that in order to plunder one's house you must first BIND up the strongman.  While we realize in this particular passage this is referring to God binding up the strongman (Satan) and this is how Satan's house is plundered.  But if you carefully analyze the enemy -- you realize that he uses the same tactics on us!  Your house cannot be plundered -- unless you are first bound.   And then Satan can plunder your house!

    • Abraham and Issac: Pictures of the Resurrection, Part 2
      Shalom everyone,

      As we continue this series the next obvious sign of the resurrection in the Old Testament is the sign of Isaac and Abraham.

      Gen 22:1  After these things God tested Abraham and said to him, "Abraham!" And he said, "Here I am."
      Gen 22:2  He said, "Take your son, your only son Isaac, whom you love, and go to the land of Moriah, and offer him there as a burnt offering on one of the mountains of which I shall tell you."

      So God "tests" Abraham and as a perfect picture of the coming sacrifice of God's only begotten Son (Yeshua - Jesus) God instructs Issac to go and sacrifice his son, Issac.  Where does he say to offer him?  On Moriah -- the exact location of the Temple Mount.
