Why do so many NDEs appear to confirm reincarnation. What do you all think??

The bible speaks against reincarnation.

It comes down to faith. The individuals who report these experiences - are they to be believed. Or is the Bible to be believed.

The first question I have to a person who had a near death experience is; If you did not actually die (seeing as it was "near"), how could reincarnation be experienced. And if you did die, then you are living proof of resurrection since you came back as yourself.

I am hesitant to discredit anybody's personal experience, but since there are no witnesses to a claimed journey through a near death, it remains a claimed experience. But I am also aware that the non-Christian will equally dismiss the Bible.

It's a matter of faith. Resurrection or reincarnation. In the forty days after His resurrection, Jesus was seen by hundreds of people (1st Cor.15:6).

Reincarnation is not biblical. I do not support NDE's.

Resurrection and Reincarnation are different.

Reincarnation refers to the transfer of soul into another human body or nonhuman being after they die. This is a buddist teaching.

Resurrection is the returning the soul and spirit into the same body.  

In the resurrection, it does say our bodies will be changed into glorified bodies that can not die,  but this in no way has same meaning as reincarnation.  Its the same body, just as Jesus body was the same body but glorified and immortal. His body that was put into the tomb, was the same body that was resurrected.

NDE's might show that there is an after life, but it does not show reincarnation.   It's staying in the same body, which really means that the body didn't die, just that the persons spirit moved out for a bit..   It is possible to do that without the body dying, though I would not recommend learning that little trick.   Messing with the spirit world is really dangerous.

But then we would have to debate what death is.    But NDE's is not the same as reincarnation.

I have read credible stories that people have floated around seeing things while lying on the O.R. table that they could not have known unless they were there. I think the medical definition of death is still brain dead—the biblical definition is when the spirit and soul depart the flesh.

As AdHoc says, I have faith in what the Bible has to say. I have thoughts on why and how some of these NDEs may happen. But it would be conjecture.

It kinda sounds like a me too movement.

Near death experience does not mean death. And as far as a death experience, it seems that no one has come back from death to tell us what that is like.

Yes, I believe NDEs are real.  I have never had one but I have had family members and friends that have had ND/out-of-body experience, where they died, left their bodies but could still see their body and other people in a room and hear them talking and was able to tell them what they were talking about in detail after they came back into their body.

How on earth is a near death experience akin to a campaign against sexual abuse and harrassment? I can't even begin to see the connection.

I meant it in such a way that when people hear and learn about NDEs, other people may jump on the band wagon and say that happened to me too.

NDEs may be nothing more than hallucinations.
