Hey Jon, Angel Studios is a Mormon owned company. I wouldn’t call it “Christian”. That said, I have no idea whether the producers and other participants of After Death subscribe to Christian orthodoxy or not. Seems to me that given the beliefs of Mormonism, the NDEs, even the ones that contradict biblical Christianity, would be more compatible with Mormonism. On a different note, the guy Tim Ballard, on whom the movie Sound Of Freedom is based, is a dyed in the wool Mormon. His stated goal is to lead many people to Mormonism through his anti-trafficking work. That is, he saw his work with child trafficking as a vehicle to bring a Mormon revival in the US and the world. Have you been following the 💩 that’s lately hitting the fan regarding Tim? Sexual harassment and abuse allegations, and lawsuits from multiple women who worked at OUR. Going forward, I’d advise all Christians to critically evaluate anything coming out of Angel Studios. While much of it may be wholesome, I don’t trust the overall agenda.
Great analysis! There was a lady who died and went to hell, but for a little while she thought she was in heaven. They gave answers she wanted to hear and believe then the demonic manifested and she realised it was a trick. I have had the thought that some NDE might be demonically deceptive to lead some people astray into the new age! Thankfully in this case it woke her up instead.
@@CLDJ227 Movies are crowdfunded and made by individuals. The owners of the crowdfunding website are mormon, but the abraham movie for example wasn't made by them, but by an evangelical if I remember correctly. Crowdfunding is where people pay for the production of a product and the artist managing it mantains full control.
Another thing, is just like now, we see darkly through a glass. It makes sense that someone who dies may not fully understand things, just as people on this earth don't fully understand things.
I saw the film today & I genuinely wanted to not only love Jesus more, but also love other people more. It definitely inspired me to be more vocal about the goodness of Jesus & pray that people truly get out of the darkness that they live in.
The only one that can take you out of the darkness into the light is the Lord Jesus when he died for each and one of us he took that very seriously and even though that we were sinners he died for us because he loved each one
I mean, that's great and all. But doesn't the Bible say that no man has seen Heaven? And that the only way we could to is during judgment day after he second coming of Christ? Wouldn't this movie contradict scripture? And I thought your physical body goes to Heaven as well.
@@dixonb.tweenerlegs4225 The bible doesn't say that no man has seen heaven. It only says that no man has ascended into heaven. "No one has ascended to heaven but He who came down from heaven, that is, the Son of Man who is in heaven." (John 3:13) Your physical body doesn't go into heaven either. That doesn't happen until we are resurrected by Christ. Until then only the spirit can go. Spiritual trips to heaven and hell are biblical. If God wills it, it will happen. As a matter of fact, it happens more often than people think, even till this day.
I know a doctor who said he had an elderly man go into cardiac arrest during an operation while his wife was in a waiting room . The patient was angry after being resuscitated & told the doctor that he had been in a beautiful place holding his wife's hand & didn't want to leave her. It turns out that she had a heart attack while waiting & had died. My friend was an athiest at this time & this made a big impression on him.
I don't know why but it seems that the dead or the departed they know when death will soon hit them. My father before he died he taught a lot of things as he knew he will pass a way shortly After that.
My friends and I went to see this movie on Friday. Two years ago when I had Covid(for 3 months), I died and went to heaven. I can totally bare witness to this movie. I do wish that they spoke more about Jesus and the Bible. Per the book of John, no one gets to the father except through the Son.
Please, could or would you attempt to paint a somewhat visual picture of the “Heaven” you speak of? I am just deeply interested in if there are similarities between yours and of other descriptions I have heard described previously. Thank you 🙏
@@Paul4Krista20 when my husband and I watched the movie, I kept talking because I was telling him how my experience was like theirs. I can paint but there is no painting what I saw.
Thank you. I initially thought your comment had mentioned heaven and I was seeking a visual of sorts as to what that may have looked like compared to this realm ❤
As an NDE’er myself, I totally agree that the resurrection of Christ is the centrepiece of our faith and that in which we put our trust. People don’t set up NDE’s or OBE’s; they happen when people are not looking for them. Trust me on that. Also trust that the Bible is God’s authoritative Word, and all NDE/OBE experiences must be subjected to that.
I think mine was a Death Experience, not a NDE. My theory is that some are real, and some are visions. I think Near-Death Experiences are probably visions, but if you really die, it is a real experience. Just a theory, but it seemed more real in heaven than here on Earth.
@@archangel_oneI’d think they’re more like visions you don’t immediately go to heaven after death you are sent to a state that is like sleep but not really and you are both here nor there the rapture is the event that will send those souls to heaven as it is explained that the dead shall rise first. But that’s just my 2 cents I’ve never really cared to learn more about NDEs but if you want to just ask Yah this could all be explained in a dream or maybe there’s even some scripture that shows you everything. The wonderful thing about our father is he actually cares he wants you to learn but you have to take the steps to make sure you aren’t opening yourself to corruption.
@@BaggerFood101 I went straight home to God. Jesus was right there with me the entire time. The only thing I cared about was seeing Our Father, but I was not allowed. He was hidden behind mist and light. That's when I knew that I was dead, and that I was going to be sent back. My great-grandfather was there to greet me, as were those in my family who died in Christ. He looked perfect and very young, as did all the others. He died when I was around 11 months old. I knew that many were supposed to be there, but they were not. Holding onto my right arm, from oldest to youngest, were four children. I knew all the others, but did not recognize them. So I asked the oldest boy, "who are you?" referring to all of them. And he answered, "We know you, but you don't know us [yet]." Jesus turned me around and sent me back down to Earth. It was all wonderful, very pleasant, except when I was back in my body again. The pain was unbearable. My memory of the experience began to fade, so I asked God to please let me remember the children. My friend and his wife were banging at the door, I had to crawl over to unlock it. They said that God told them that I needed help. I have no idea how I got to the hospital. When I woke up just before dawn, I was in a wheelchair in the main hall of the hospital, and many doctors and nurses were there in front of me. A doctor was on his knees beside me. He said to me, "[my name] you're dead." This was not the only time this happened, but it was the first. According to him, they had run 3 tests on a machine, all of which said that it was impossible for me to be alive. So they got out the two newest machines, primed them and retested, three times each -- same results. So I asked him, "so you ran the same tests three times and three different machines -- a total of nine tests?" He said yes. So I said something like, "God brought me back." I said, "Jesus said, I am the resurrection, and the life: he that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live:" One of the doctors (or nurse) on the end, looked like she was going to pass out. She left, and another doctor went with her. They both looked terrified. I started to pass out and the doctors all started leaving. I asked the doctor who was beside me, "who are all these people?" He said that it was all the doctors and nurses in the entire hospital. He turned me to the north, and I saw the parking lot light up due to the sun rising, and I passed out. This was not the only such experience. I've asked God who those children were, and I believe that they were my grandchildren, yet to be born, yet to die. None of them made it, they were right in order, a boy, and then three girls. I never told my daughter, but I told her husband after the last one died.
You don't have to be a Christian to have a near death experience. It happened to me before I even knew about Christianity. I actually had two near death experiences while still in my teens. There was a Christian lady praying for me I later found out. So yeah...God can reach anyone who is willing.
@WhateverSurething if you are reading this, then JESUS has reached you. JESUS L❤VES YOU more than you can comprehend. JESUS L❤VES YOU and HE'S waiting for you to open your heart to receive his L❤VE. JESUS L❤VES YOU regardless of who you are, what you are, what you think, or what you've done in your life... good or bad, HE LOVES YOU and FORGIVES YOU. JESUS reaches us and calls us in different ways. The question isn't whether or not he's reached you. The question is whether or or not you respond. Mankind is flawed not the Biblical teachings of JESUS aka (THE WORD OF GOD) If anyone has judged you or made negative comments towards you with intentions to harm you, is not an example of CHRIST'S L❤VE. Please know that you are LOVED...
Just viewed the movie, and it was good for non-believers to initiate them into an evangelical encounter. I spoke with a Catholic couple right after the movie to get their opinion. They loved it, but he wasn't sure he was going to heaven. The Lord used me to address this man's spiritual block. We talked about salvation and the gospel and they were convicted to change their approach to the Word. I think everyone will be touched by this movie. Great review and points my friend!
This right here this message to be preaching for the pulpit Christians go there anointed by God go there with the minister of Angeles and you go out there and you do what Jesus said to do going to all the world peace of gospel tell them Jesus Christ death and Resurrection is how we know how we get to heaven use this moment go outside with gospel tracks about knowing Jesus Christ so you're after death experience is a heavenly one and not a helllish one
In my opinion, those who are not believers will often be deceived by evil spirits during near death experiences. This is why everything must be interpreted through the lens of the Bible. Everything including near-death experiences are opportunities for people's faith to be tested.
Yeah devils can transform themselves to look like angels of light. I think they probably intercept the souls of non believers who are kinda stuck between Earth and Heaven/Hell when their soul leaves their body. They teach them the lie that all religions lead to heaven and send them back to their bodies to spread more lies and lead more souls to Hell.
Yes and 2Corinthians 12:4 is about Paul’s experience seeing heaven and God told him to not speak of it and gave him a “thorn in the flesh “ so he wouldn’t ever be tempted to speak of it.
My then atheistic late brother had the second experience. As he actually did die for a while. Though it's TRUE what he saw as heaven cannot be verified. His meeting our Grandmother was as he had never met before but described her to a T. And when he came to fear had completely left him. He gave his life to Christ. He was extremely frail through cancers however his Spirit was lit and all he lived for was to be baptised so he could tell all his friends about Jesus and heaven being real..But this was how we knew gir sure he had been to heaven. He publicly confessed to the whole congregation and his mates how selfish he had been and lived all his life. Trust me this was huge. Pride had bern broken. But when he said God could take him right now or heal him I knew death had lost its grip on him and he was fearlessly free. Previoulslwhen we found out his diagnosis I asked the Lord if he would die. That he would live to declare the glory of the Lord and that's exactly what happened as week later he passed away. Only an encounter with God could have brought such a change that all he wanted was to testify to all his atheist friends before passing.
I believe if the encounter is life changing and brings Glory to God and God alone then that person has had a true encounter. Thank you for sharing and that you will see your brother again 🙏
“The evidence for the resurrection, far exceeds that of peoples internal experiences that can’t be corroborated or verified.” Thanks for saying that, brother! 😊
My friend's son had an overdose and watched himself from the ceiling, while he was on the table and being worked on. He because Christian after this event. He said he is not afraid to die anymore.
I also watched my body from the ceiling in the ER. I was having an allergic reaction to a drug given to me. When I woke up I asked if I almost died, and everyone said no, but I swear I saw the light and was approaching the gates of heaven.
Same… I was floating at the ceiling talking to JESUS CHRIST. I thought whoa I was out of it… then the next time I went in they asked me I do bad under anesthesia? I said no. They said yeah you do; you quit breathing last time. We had to bring you back… I WAS STILL CONNECTED BY THE SILVER CHORD ECCLESIASTES MENTIONS. None of us truly truly died. They were still connected. Once that chord is cut, it’s a wrap. I’m not new age. The BIBLE is facts.
I personally know Captain Dale Black. His testimony is absolutely true. The effect and change it has had on his life is absolutely profound. He didn't tell anyone about it for many years. He is the single most honest and humble man that I have ever had the privilege and honour to know. He since lived to honour and glorify the Lord alone. Please go see this movie .....their testimonies are incredible.
I have a hard time believing Howard Storm’s, (because of a couple of very odd things that he says in interviews, like alluding to Jesus telling him about aliens that are way more intelligent than us, and also alluding to babies being reincarnated) but I ABSOLUTELY believe Dale Black’s testimony. Zero kookiness/weirdness at all whatsoever and the fruit is very evident in his and Paula’s life. If there’s one NDE I believe (and I’ve researched HUNDREDS)… I believe Dale Black. I’m sad that Howard Storm’s testimony is even in this movie because I believe that anything even RESEMBLING aliens is part of the coming great deception and I believe that anything REMOTELY having to do with reincarnation is utterly false. Babies who get aborted don’t “get another chance at life”. They go to Heaven. Period. I’ve also never heard Howard Storm say anything like “Jesus is the only way to Heaven. If you don’t have Jesus, you will go to Hell.” Howard Storm also says that Jesus laughed at a somewhat crude joke that Howard made, and I don’t know if I buy that, either. I’m open to being wrong, but after listening to SEVERAL Howard Storm interviews, his experience just didn’t fully sit right with me. God correct me if I’m wrong, and I will totally repent. God bless Howard Storm regardless. 🙏🏼
When I was 18, a non Christian, the brakes failed in my brand new car. I went through the win shield when the car wrecked, knocked out. I was walking in black darkness when I asked where am I? A man’s voice said you have to back. You’re there for a reason. I’m living that reason now. I always thought of the words back and there. There’s a heaven to gain, a hell to shun
When I came to faith, I prayed to God to show himself to me and I found a book in my house about NDE's right after praying. My mom had lent it to me but it was collecting dust on a shelf...it felt very clear that God was using that book to supplement the other evidence I had learned through study of apologetics. The next day I took my son to see Lego Batman in the theater and felt God had a sense of humor...as Batman basically has an NDE, he's shown a summary of his life and realizes he's a "bad guy" focused on his selfish ambitions, and he is sent back with newfound purpose....all very similar to the NDE's I was reading about. I was probably the only one who left that moving crying. Having said that, I've never felt comfortable sharing this part of my testimony, as I've never been sure which NDE's are true...I do think the enemy could use them as a tool for deception so I try to filter it all through the bible.
Your suspicions are correct. What if these kinds of experiences actually poke holes in your filter by coloring your lenses as you read and study your Bible? For instance, did Jesus say to the thief in the cross, you will be with me today in Paradise? Or did he said, Today, [while I'm on the cross, and I seem to be a failure and fraud, today] I tell you, you WILL be with me in Paradise? There's no comma in the Greek, so we have to decide. If we accept the common comma placement, and definitely if we accept NDEs, we'll take the first one. But, if we cross reference where Jesus told Mary that He had not yet ascended to the Father, then we are more likely to choose the second as accurate. Just keep in mind, your are not a neutral, objective observer. The things you read and watch react upon yourself and change how you think and reason and evaluate evidence. I believe this NDE stuff is all calculated to pull Christians away from their Bibles and seek answers from polluted streams.
I've had a near death experience of seeing God and heaven it's all real. God even showed me he would take my grandmother into heaven and it happened in real life
My father was dead for 12 minutes and had an after death experience. It changed us all. My dad was a pastor and the nurse that was in the room when he came back to life still says it changed her life too.
I believe watching and hearing peoples NDE’s brings a lot of people to the conclusion that Christ really did save us and not only that but that he came back and is actually God. I remember going down a rabbit hole on this a year or two before I got on my knees and asked for Jesus. Looking forward to watching this
Not what Scripture says, it's the preaching of the Gospel that brings people to faith. If someone can be saved by someone else's experience, they can also be unsaved by a conflicting one. Stick to the more sure Word, Peter 1: 20-21 which was given by God through the Holy Spirit. That was spoken after Peter witnessed the transfiguration.
@@judithmargret5972 you don’t have to be particular here. I get what you’re saying and I agree. You may have not understood what I meant. This thing led me to this thing that led to this and that all the way to the SCRIPTURE and here I am typing about Christ.
@@Brometheus.I understand what you mean for some babes this would be what they need to fully come to the alter and give themselves to Yeshua. I’ve met people who were non believers and suddenly they encounter something in the woods that defy all logic and are made painfully aware. That’s going to be the whole point of the tribulation to make your options painfully clear you’re either with Yah or against him there will be no more denying his existence or waiting till you’re older to meet him.
@@Brometheus.but then again the other dude ain’t wrong either because some people are drawn to the clear logic that scripture provides and the gospel brings many people to tears. Yah has many ways of making his presence known it doesn’t just have to be the gospel and it doesn’t just have to life experiences. But I will say the gospel probably is more effective as not many people are going to go walking in the woods in the middle of no where or experience an NDE
I love your videos. My mother had one of these experiences when she had my older sister in 1947. Her appendix burst at 7 months, and she died on the table. She said she floated above her body and saw the doctors working furiously on her and thought it was amusing and curious. She said it was very bright as she floated upward, and then it was gone. It was nothing short of a miracle that both she and my sister lived. She never told anyone but us about this because she thought no one would believe her. God bless you, my young brother in Christ.
I'm not going to lie. I've always expected half of Christians to encounter a massive door in front of Heaven after that moment, followed by the voice "Depart from me, I never knew you" and then the descent into hell.
Same thing happened to my mother's brother years ago in the 1930s. He was 12 and his appendix burst. He died. My mother and grandmother were standing at his bed in the hospital. About 10 minutes later he suddenly sat straight up and shouted ," mommy". He later said that his dad , who had died about 4 years before, came to him and said he must go back and look after his mom and sister. He said that he had been floating above lovely green grassy fields and he felt to happy. Then his father spoke to him telling him to go back. Remember, he was only 12, so did not know very much about the bible and especially the 23rd psalm, although they were a Church going family. He was a bit young to take it all in, though.
Yeah, satan can give false positive NDEs as well which is why there are many who return with no conviction of sin or judgement. This way they can pass on the deceit and delusion. Test all things and always use discernment.
Amen! If Satan and demons want to largely remain hidden, why would they allow someone unprotected to pass through the spiritual realm unmolested? Only someone indwelt with the spirit and defended by angels could possibly hope to tread in the realm of or be capable of observing plainly the spiritual powers and principalities without being condemned.
When I was a teen, my mom and I got into following a new age teacher. The teacher was a former Baptist who had an NDE and went on to teach for decades about spirit guides, channeling, all that stuff! She was totally used by Satan to deceive. My mom and I followed her for years! Sadly, my mom passed without being a believer. I eventually left new age and was born again. But back to your point - the testimony of a nice older lady who “died” and then walked away from the church was very compelling. She was sincere. Must’ve been demonic influence. 😢
@@JayaSavannah See the parable of the wheat and the tares.Jesus specifically tells us Satan has planted false Christians among us. Though it's not our job to figure out who, that's between them and God. We only need to live as God commands us, the tares will be sorted at the harvest.
A man told me about his NDE he was out of body watching the doctors trying to bring him back he headed towards the light away from his body when an Angel stopped him took him back and they spoke above his body in the operating room. He agreed to go back after the Angel convinced him to return. It was very real to him and his account of what went on while he watched from above with the Angel was spot on
@@BaggerFood101 nah man, Hellah granted him absolution that time. she wanted him to earn his wayinto Valhalla. it's so obviously true, how could you possibly accept anything else?
@@marlonmarquez4798, what? There’s no “Hellah”, or “Valhalla”. Not according to scripture, and no one can earn their way to God’s kingdom. Jesus Christ is the only way to YHVH, and it’s faith in Christ alone.
As a physician and a Christian, I think your analysis of this subject is very good. It is objective but also Biblically based. It seems that God seldom gives us a glimpse or knowledge of life after death and that seeking knowledge of that may be wrong. Like Jesus said in the story of Lazarus and the rich man, there as a great chasm or separation between this world and the next and God seems to put a barrier between them unless He allows some revelation about it.
Not a parable, this is a real story. When Jesus spoke in parables, he didn't give specific identities, when it came to the rich man and Lazarus, Jesus specified to illustrate just how real Hell really is.@@speedchaser4991
I'm nearly 70. I Found Jesus at age 35. At age 20, I became obsessed with NDE's. I can't wait for this movie . I believe every detail of our life is helping us learn how greatly we are loved by God, the source of love. For the glory of Jesus Christ
Honest and encouraging review-thank you! I’m so intrigued by NDE’s, but your point about the overwhelming evidence for the resurrection of Jesus far outweighing every NDE helps me ground my faith in truth ❤
My own intense NDE led me to mistrust the Church, Christians and religious people, clergy. But it solidified my belief in Jesus and God. It also intensely changed how scripture spoke to me. The way I feel about the whole experience is simply written in 1st John 2:27. Also the parable of the rich man and Lazarus made things clear as to why people don't believe me when I tell them about meeting Jesus when I left my body. Since than God has granted me the privilege of working as a Chaplain in a jail with some very broken people.
I think it would be best if you can be led to a family of other faithful to fellowship with, but that doesn't have to be an institution. The church is the family of Christ, not this or that denomination, building or organization. I'll pray for you brother.i hope your ministry goes well!
definitely plenty sketchy churches with crafted faiths but the church as a whole isnt affected by these bad apples, I'd recommend to at least look for a solid christian friend's group- we are meant to live in communion to educate each other, ecourage and pick others up when needed
What about Proverbs 3:5-6 ? Or Hebrews 10:24-25 and 1 Corinthians 14:26? Im an atheist but ppl have visions of ppl all the time, it doesnt mean the vision was real. Maybe you wanted the vision to be real and you simply chose to believe it was. You have no idea how Jesus looked and sounded, yet you are convinved it was him. You are giving yourself a false sense of security that you could not be wrong in your interpretation.
@@CMVMic I see lots of visions about things that happen later on. One of the most startling was of a man who had throat cancer and was dying. I knew the man. He did not have cancer until three years later and he died. He looked exactly like the vision I saw on his death bed. I cannot make myself see things like that. There are many more visions I have seen that happen. If a person desires to be a skeptic they most certainly can choose to do so, but I don't. After all these years of seeing them and watching them happen I cannot be skeptical anymore just because someone expressed skepticism or doubt. What's odd is that there is more doubt in the modern church of supernatural spiritual things than anywhere else, so it seems.
I think it's normal to be fascinated by life after death. But I agree the Bible needs to be our lens and authority. I think, for me, skipping this movie is for the best right now. Appreciate you making this video! May you be blessed!
After listening to many NDE's experiences, reading many books and following many people commenting on NDE's for many years, personally I believe that when some people pass they are greeted by either Jesus/Angels or if not saved faced with the demonic and that reality BUT sometimes the demons will create a fake narrative and reality to focus in on their belief system and or to pretend to be an angel of light (satan appears as an angel of light, even to the living who play with spiritual darkness) - sometimes in these NDE's when people work out that this is what is happening spiritually, they will remember Jesus and call out to Him and at that point the demonic will reveal themselves and their true nature and Jesus either rescues the person to show them heaven or sends them back to earth.... but those who don't work that out keep their deceptive demonic NDE as a false truth/narrative that they were deceived in, then will go on to tell that deception as truth, not knowing any better.
DUDE!! thank you SOOO much for this video. You have no idea like this made me cry because I was just praying this morning for God to clear my mind and get me back on track. My husband died 50 days ago and since then I have deep dived headfirst into NDEs and spirituality and it was seriously getting me off course with our heavenly father. Like I was about to lose my faith because of all the contradictions! I will see this movie but as you say take it with a grain of salt. GOD bless you brother.
This movie is truth. Why would it make you lose your faith knowing God is real and so is the soul. We are spiritual beings that's why you are longing for spirituality. Religion is dogmatic and a bit dry. It ha been stripped of all of it's spirituality. This should just enhance your faith. God is universal. He is in all true faiths including yours.
My husband and I are both Christians and saw the movie this past Saturday. We thought the movie was very interesting from start to finish and gave us more hope to look forward to our eternal life when we leave this world.
Well, it sounds like they caught another "believer" in their story. The movie was well played and produced enough to convince you what they wanted you to believe. If it were a movie made by the Mormons would it had made you believe it?
Had 2 NDEs and it happens but I had one which was horrifyijg that felt like utter separation from God and deep darkness like vanta black yet still being able to perceive beings around you. Terror is an understatement and then after coming to Christ- the experience was inexplicably opposite and it was the most warm hug - deep love & light- feeling of all truth known and everything is okay. It was def a spiritual experience. Just affirmation to me that we are souls in need of THE Savior- Jesus Christ.
I love the idea on how they focused on hope and the love of Jesus. He gives us so many chances to come to him and so many ways to spread his message. I lost a son to suicide that didn't have hope.I pray that the lord gave him that chance like he did with the two who struggled. Thank you for your insight. On so many subjects.I enjoy your videos! Thanks!!
Before my dad died he had an o b e while he was still conscious and he proved to everyone that he was telling the truth by telling us things that he couldn't have possibly known or seen from his hospital bed. He was extremely close to death and dying from leukemia but he didn't die for a few days after that. By the way my dad was a Southern Baptist pastor
@@EriPages because he was dying we had people coming to visit all day everyday and one of the things he couldn't have seen or known was who was driving down my driveway to come visit him and what they were wearing. He was in the back of the house in his and my mom's room that had been turned into a hospital room but even before his hospital bed was put in their you couldn't see who was coming down the driveway from that room even if you were looking out the window because there was no window facing the driveway and this was in the late eighties way before cell phones. My dad was extremely honest and wouldn't have lied about it anyway. He was also having to be given very large doses of morphine because of the pain he was in but during his out of body and near-death experience he didn't need any morphine and wasn't in any pain at all. His blood pressure was so low the nurse that lived with us was sure he was going to die that day and he did die within the week.
Baptist pastor or not, the fact that he had a paranormal experience alone proves that he never completely trusted Jesus Christ for his salvation. If he had, he would’ve been indwelled by the Holy Spirit who would have prevented and protected him from demonic intrusion into his mind! People who say they are Christians but don’t believe or understand the fact that unless they realize that there’s nothing a saved believer can do to lose his salvation in Christ! Ephesians 2:8&9 says its now a free gift w/o works, and Ephesians 4:30 says the seal of the Holy Spirit cannot be broken! The doctrine and promises for believers today are found only in Ephesians and Colossians; the rest of the Bible concerns God’s (failed, Acts 28:28-31) relationship with the biblical nation of Israel, so do not look for our gospel in there when believers were still under the Law of Moses! Trust Christ completely and your demons will flee!
Re: Jesus is coming soon This we know Minus reliance upon God and faith in Christ; Millions believe Jesus died on a cross for our sins and that he's coming again. The devils believe and tremble; their fate is sealed. Don't be one! Adam failed to take God at his word Sin revealed; death entered the world and that changed everything Over 150,000 people die each day Death is no respecter of age; Death will take away everything you love in life from people to puppies The wages of sin is death.

Repent means don't play the hypocrite; A double minded man is unstable in all of his ways.

Don't miss it for the world; born once die twice; born twice die once! 1 Cor 15:51-52 Behold, I shew you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed, In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed. O' What a Savior
Not that long ago, I had watched another apologetics video on NDEs - not even a week ago in fact! To see a review on a film revolving on this topic within that timeframe feels very spooky! And yet I felt incredibly educated on the film! Thank you for covering this, Mr Meme! Thank you also for pointing us back to Christ Jesus who conquered the grave!
Dividing the experiences into those two categories was very helpful, thank you. That's pretty much my take on this issue. I just hadn't sorted through it at this level.
We met a man 3 decades ago who said he had a NDE one week after getting saved. The thing that touched me the most was that he couldn't remember how he had died, but after being in the presence of Jesus, he didn't care if he was going to be a quadriplegic when he came back. He just wanted another opportunity to live selflessly and share the love of Christ to everyone he could.
I've been looking forward to seeing this film. It's good that you gave people some perspective on how to properly contextualize this film and the experiences of the people who had NDEs.
I worked in nursing homes till I was almost 40. Watched alot of people die. Some went out screaming get it away from me, others smiling and saying so pretty come come or do you see how beautiful they are.
Man, I seen it last night! I couldn’t wait. I like your take on it, and your advice, but I was going to say that at least to me it doesn’t really challenge my theology or my doctrine on life after death. This may be for several reasons but in short, I think it’s very encouraging. It was also pretty cool to see the visuals. They attached to the stories. In many cases people say that they can’t describe a color or they heard a sound that was unworldly. I think the movie did a great job a depicting those instances.
I didn’t have a NDE but I did experience him 11 years ago. He came through my window in a light form when I was going through depression anxiety/ intrusive demonic thoughts. I yelled at God one night after praying for about 3 months straight with no healing and suddenly around 7 am the very next morning after losing all faith he came through my bedroom window I did not see him physically, but I saw an orbit light that looks like a human form. It was moving closer and closer to me, as I was lying on the bed. Suddenly a hand touched my forehead, and I instantly knew it was Jesus because he spoke to me telepathically, and told me to repeat after him, although I did not hear his voice, but I knew that he said to repeat after him. This was not said out loud. This is all said telepathically. I then repeat it, and said, but Jesus, what if this is the devil messing with me instantly it came out of me like vomit. I started speaking a different language in my mind which now I know years later is called tongues instantly after speaking that language, the spirit went inside of my body and went from my head to toe. It was like a spirit of love like a river of love, the best feeling I’ve ever felt in my life, and now I will never dealt the presence of Jesus or God or heaven. I now suffer again from panic disorder and anxiety, and I am awaiting his healing yet again 11 years later, at the age of 31 and I know he will deliver me. I pray, for everyone going through something and continuing to stand strong and faithful in him and don’t give up because he will heal you, but it will not be on our time it will be on his time. I praise God every day for that experience I am so grateful I wish I could’ve heard his voice and seen his face, but what I experienced was supernatural an out of this world, unlike anything I could ever even explain clearly. ❤ When I went to see this movie, they were explaining how they felt quotation a river of love an. His light was so loving and how they spoke telepathically to him it’s exactly what I went through, but I wasn’t dead. I was alive. I lived in North Carolina at the time. I’ll wait the day that I die and I get to ask him to show me again that day that he healed me personally. PS, his hands, I felt his fingers and his hand felt like every normal person’s hand. It was incredible.
Just to be sure you are saved (and this goes for anyone reading this), let God know that you are completely trusting his Son, Jesus Christ, for eternal life that God is offering as a free gift just for the taking - NO STRINGS ATTACHED - in Ephesians 2:8&9 KJV! No demons will be able to mess with you like they did to every single person that has a NDE!
I went to watch it a couple of days ago. I have seen most of the testimonies before. The movie is geared towards 18-year-old and older. the only complaints were that Regal played a good 30 minutes of commercials before the movie. Never experienced so many commercials before this movie. If you fear death or have lost someone it is a good movie to see. I pray that Jesus Christ opens all our eyes to truth before it is too late for any more of us. God Bless.
I think you have to compartmentalize a film like this as an introduction into the spiritual for those who are beginning to ask questions. It's a good starting point to illustrate something comes after... and once they mature enough and learn more about Christianity they begin to understand that sometimes an NDE can be a lie by the enemy.
I had an NDE in the OR. I was having a c section and I was given too much anesthesia. I knew I was not breathing and that I was dying. I was just entering into the Shadow of Death (darkness) when I asked God to let me stay. I had a 3 year old and now the new baby. I told God there is no one who can do for them what I can do. I actually told God they are all idiots and I want to raise my own children. Before long, I was resuscitated but I never forgot the experience almost 40 years ago. I was right about being surrounded by idiots, I just never knew how bad it was like I do now. I am relieved no one else raised my children for me.
Experienced a man die, he had had a rough life, including drugs and amputations. He was on a monitor with no electrical activity for ~20 minutes. He was covered with a sheet and we noticed some movement. I pulled the sheet back and he said, “ you didn’t get the body bag yet?” I asked what had happened, and he said,”I can’t tell you, it was too bad.” He coded again and didn’t come back.
I’ve also heard of stories of people who had NDEs who said that “beings of light” first met them and were leading them “to heaven” but as they progressed, the “beings of light” became progressively meaner and would bite them and call them derogatory names. For whatever reason, the person came back from their NDE to tell the story. It seems that the “beings of light” were actually demons, and the experience was intended to confuse a nonbeliever in Christ.
That’s why I’m sceptical about NDE because I think they are just figments do the imagination or they are demonic deception. Pretty sure Jesus says that if the soul isn’t with the body then it is with Christ (could be remembering wrong but something similar ) … meaning no inbbtween exploration
@donovancumby5835 God doesn't "allow" demons to torment you. People choose to be tormented. God warns us all that the wages of sin are death. He provided a way out and a whole guide on how not to be tormented. But He will not override our free will. So if we choose to go on without Him, He'll respect our choice. He just wants to make sure we know what we will face if our choice isn't Him.
I had 3 near death experiences. My brain has lost the ability to give the signal to breathe at night…. I am now dependent on an apnea machine when I sleep. I am always leery when people say that they see Jesus or heaven, etc. I know what Scripture says about seeing Jesus, or heaven etc. One thing I do know for sure is that I had to surrender to the fact whether I was going to live or die. I knew my life was in Jesus’ hands. Not literally. I didn’t see Jesus. I felt the peace, comfort, refuge, and love of Jesus….But I also felt the presence of Satan (demonic) … which didn’t scare me, because I knew I could trust the Lord to get me through the valley. (Not visual). Psalm 23 immediately came to mind. I didn’t have a “heaven” or “hell” visual experience. I got this feeling at one point when I realized I was going to live…. Something inside my spirit, (the Holy Spirit) impressed upon my heart, “don’t worry, I will carry you through it” (not audible). I knew that if I lived my life was not going to be easy….. My life flashed before my eyes on some level…. I knew the Lord knew all of me….the good, the bad, and the ugly…. I think that is when I realized and came to know the depth of mercy, love, grace that He extended to me. I believe during this time, it led me to a repentance. I felt people’s prayers for me….I knew that my life was not my own. Another weird feeling was that my Dad and brother who had both passed away were holding me up. Standing on each side of me. Here’s the thing, I didn’t see them….but felt their presence. Do I believe it was them? I am not going to put my faith in experiences. The Scripture about a great cloud of witnesses came to mind. Another weird feeling was that past, present, and future….felt like they were happening all at once. I can’t explain it. My faith in Jesus is unseen. My experiences of what I saw or experienced is not the object or subject of my faith. Jesus and His Word are. That is the only Truth I can stand on…..not my experience. My faith does not come from my experience. It comes from Jesus and His Word. There’s more to the story…. but I will leave it at that. It really is hard to talk about. Yeah, not sure if I want to go see this movie. Leery if they take the stance that people should believe other people’s experiences for heaven, as being the true heaven stated in Scripture….not people’s version based on their own belief system. Satan can deceive and come across as an Angel of light. I have siblings who have OBE’s.
Thank you so much for posting this. I really wish I would’ve saw this before I saw the movie today. But to be honest, I already kind of knew some of the stuff you were talking about. I have been into near death experiences since I was a young kid. I think anything that explore the supernatural and clinical scientific way is really cool and needed. I myself am a queer Christian I go to church 100% try my best to live by Christ but not always by what the church says. But at the same time I do believe I’m a part of the church. And I do help out my local faith community with their website. I have had an uncle that has had a near death experience, and I believe at one time I had a near death experience during a dream. I personally loved the movie. It was very well produced and I like how the message wasn’t definitive in the main movie. I like how at the end they still ended it with a question. And they were saying stuff like it’s OK to be a skeptic. I know in the scriptures talk about testing the spirits and questioning everything if it does not line up with certain things. Also the profits and people of God always questioned God on things that he did, but he didn’t strike them down for that. I definitely think that the supernatural/the unseen universe is vast and diverse as we all are. And I think God can use anything to reach somebody. God bless you. Thank you for putting this out.
I saw the movie and really struggled with there not being a clear understanding or presentation that Jesus is the light, the love felt, and to only way to that light and love of God. I kept waiting for that and didn’t see it. Of course maybe that was not the goal of the movie. Maybe it was just to make the skeptics aware that there is life after death. I’m not sure I could recommend it. I really appreciate this message and your perspective. I agree that people’s experiences may not actually be God induced.
I just saw it and feel exactly the same. I've actually seen the more complete versions of all those testimonies but two. Each one of them points the way to Jesus in the full recounting. I was shocked that those crucial parts of their testimonies were omitted. I actually left feeling that, if I were an unbeliever watching it, I'd think all I would need to do to go to heaven is love people and be good to everyone. That really bothered me.
Hey, I’m a Christian, and a (formerly) atheist friend told me to see this movie. He hadn’t been to church since he was 12, and he hasn’t MISSED church since seeing the movie. So that’s all the encouragement I needed! If it’s turning folks towards our Lord, then I am all for it. Watched it. Super moving and encouraging
I’d also recommend a video that Testify did with Bruce Van Natta recently. He had an OBE after a truck fell on him, the axle squishing his body to a couple of inches thick. (He miraculously survived the accident, but with a severely shortened intestine. But this was powerfully healed later with prayer.)
I totally loved it. It made me cry several times, I've studied NDE'S and as I always say they more match than don't. We know there is a heaven and a hell and we hear both sides. I loved it and will be watching it again
I went unconscious from hypoglycemia early this year and my wife told me i was confirmed dead at two different hospitals. I had no recollection of anything happening here. I can only remember being alone in a dark place, so dark that I was searching for light. It was endless, i was just moving frantically but there's no end to the darkness. I was hearing voices but couldn't make out what they were saying. Then as I moved further into the darkness in search of light, something kept pulling me back. I woke up suddenly in the hospital, oxygen mask on my face, lights beaming all over me. I don't think I died, but why would the doctors confirm me dead. What really happened to me?
I've been looking for a comment like this. This was my experience too! I attempted to take my own life by overdose. I got a call right as I was waiting ti pass that encouraged me to try and live. I walked to a nearby fire department right as I was about to pass out. They had to bring me back on the way to the hospital from what I was told. I went to a place as you described, endless black, no light. All I could do was think about my regrets. Right when I was sinking into despair I was pulled back into my body and was able to open my eyes. Already had felt like eternity though. I've only seen one other person besides you describe it similar to me. I gave my life to Christ afterwards though and promised God I'd never quit on living my life again.
@@menak8870 Exactly my feeling. When I woke up, it's about 2AM in the morning, a man having an asthma attack was brought in. He died within 10 minutes. I lay on my bed thinking he would come back to, but no, he was gone. It dawned on me that day that we are closer to death than we think. From that day, I became more conscious and intentional about my life. I didn't want to be lost in that thick darkness again if eventually death comes for me.
I was so exited when I read the book by Raymon Moody who wrote about people having nde, when I was engagered in the occult. For me, at that time, it was just fuel to my false spirituel belief. Because none of them talked about sin or repentence. For me it just confirmed what I allready believed: that there was a spiritual world. So when I became a christian, by Gods mercy, I started to question nde, and I tried to find answers. Not many had spoken about this. But I found a few christians who had taken it on heart. One of the testimonies from a man who claimed to be a christian, was mixing christianity with the occult. As the bible tells us: test the spirit. One very clear indication of nde not being true, is when a person returns and still have no clue about what sin is.
You are right. I had a friend who experienced this during a difficult labor and she went right on with her New Age beliefs which were not challenged at all. BTW, I met Raymond Moody when I I had a job setting up conferences. A lot of nutty people at that one!
I had a NDE, I was born a diabetic and in 2019 right before covid hit I got very ill, life threatning ill. I went to the ER and was quickly put into ICU, they had no idea what was wrong with me. I died the first day I was there. I was given a choice to come back or stay, with newborn grand babies here. I chose to come back, I was told I would be very ill but would survive, the doctors thought they brought me back, I spent three weeks in ICU and after getting out and coming home it was six months to get my strength back.
I published a book a few months ago, titled, "Embodied Afterlife: The Hope of an Immediate Resurrection" which dealt with all these issues from a different perspective. I thought your comments were helpful and insightful; you're spot on.
My wife and I saw the movie last night. Interestingly, your video populated into my YT feed. We wholeheartedly agree with your assessment. Non-believers may takeaway that accepting Christ as Lord and Savior and His sacrifice at the cross isn’t needed to get to heaven. The movie is well done. But believers in Christ must take it with discernment.
Several years ago, I read Dale Black’s book Flight to Heaven. It was such a beautiful narrative of his NDE, and so unlike the cheesy (unbiblical) stories of others I’ve read. From what I can recall, he never mentioned seeing his dead relatives, or anybody singing Old Rugged Cross while strumming on harps and floating on clouds with the rest of the “heavenly choir.” He wrote about the intersection takeoff that was chosen by the pilot in question, and the subsequent stall accident that was terrifying, along with the death of the two pilots, whom he did NOT see in heaven, but also never assumed that they are now in hell! He talked more about the sensations and emotions of his vision of heaven, without asserting that he was actually there in reality. I highly recommend his book. Couldn’t put it down.
Saw the movie and all can say was something literally gave me tears especially the atheist story like it really touch me a lot. Not as I’m atheist it’s just what he say as “But me back I don’t belong here” cause it’s true in the end we don’t belong in heaven for how sinner we are and mostly we following our own path and sometimes leaving Jesus beside but the end he still follows us and want us to be with him. And the end we gonna be with him as we don’t deserve it but he did it for us cause the end we don’t need to be in hell we needed to be in heaven but there’s ppl that’s never gonna see that way. But from all that 10/10 movie I know that movie will blow up even when the devil wanna hide it god gonna be opening people eyes.
I'll never forget a story I heard about a friend at the bedside of his loved one who heard him, while in a coma screaming: "No! Don't take me! Get back," screaming bloody murder. Only when he woke with a grin on his face, he spoke of how he discovered we all go to a place without suffering - automatically. This reminded me: "Satan appears as an angel of light," and is"the father of lies," the"deceiver."
We don't ALL go to "a place w/o suffering - automatically." You contradicted yourself by saying beforehand that the friend was screaming, "No! Don't take me! Get back,". If one is not a truly saved Believer, they're not automatically going to a place w/o suffering.
@@heatheresteubing-fisher9729 you need to read it again & comprehend, because that's exactly what he meant lol the person in the coma said that everyone automatically goes to a place without suffering.. the person commenting is saying satan is a liar & deceiver, because that statement is not true; not everyone will go to heaven..
As a believer in Christ. I had two instances where I felt i was very near death and at both of those times an un-natural peace filled me and took away all my fear. It was such an encouraging experience to be able to completely rest in him when everything around me was going crazy and falling apart.
As usual, WYM gets it perfectly. As Justin Peterson said, a lot of "heaven" experiences differ, so take it with a grain of salt. But those verifiable OBE's put weight in
Hi there im from South Africa Almost 18 yrs ago my son ws involved in mva pedestrian We rushed him to our children's hosp Called RED X and his heart stopped exactly a yr after that he told me about his experience I was in tears nd cld nt belive this child went through this. It still give me chills
So we went to see it last night. I have a few thoughts on it. One thing that I wished they had done was narrated the visions and things that the people saw instead of just showing space and lots of light over and over. I brought my daughter who was not saved and I wish that they had spoke of Jesus more. I also wish that as they were telling the stories and coming back to each person that they would have told more about the stories details. Like the pilot. I feel we got bits and pieces. In the end I didn't leave there feeling emotionally touched or impacted, just left hanging.
Thanks for posting this. I, like you, have questions about the experiences many people have that report NDE's. As Christians we are taught from an early age that only through Christ can we experience the joys of eternity in the afterlife. As Christ says "I am the door no ones comes to the Father except by me". NDE's seem to contradict this as many others outside of Christianity share the experience and the afterlife. While this is a legitimate question I want to make sure the I am not looking through the same lens as the older brother in the prodigal son parable who is angry that his "sinful" brother has returned to the fold. I was troubled as a young person by the vast multitude of others seemingly condemned to Hell by a circumstance of their birth in another country or another faith system. I have reconciled my worry not by leaving the faith as some others have but by accepting the fact that I trust in a loving compassionate God who will always be just and fair. If the afterlife is populated with non-Christians as well as Christians I welcome them and have absolute trust that this is all part of God's plan!
I Believe that when a Person Has a Life After Death Experience, it is Tailored Specifically to Them and There Current Spiritual Progression and Directed Toward the Personal Leasons God Has for Them to Learn Based on They're Current Spiritual Circumstances and What They Can Currently Understand and Comprehend. ❤ That's Why Everyone's Experiences will Not Be Exactly the Same.❤
I'm genuinely interested in seeing this movie. I had a lot of OOBE's as a small child, probably due to some existing health conditions. I never told my parents about them, nor did I ever read up on the subject. I heard the term years later as I was explaining what I saw to someone, and they told me what it was called. I'm curious to see if my experiences are similar to the people in this film.
As a Christian and someone who has experienced my own NDE, I assure you that these things are life-altering in a good way. Profound is not adequate to describe what happened while I was dead.
As a NDE experiencer when I was 14 years ago 43 years ago and a Christian, The Jesus I was taught in Church and the Jesus that braced me in unconditional love was so undeniably real, but I knew how we perceive with human eyes and human minds are what fundamentally anchor our beliefs, I know now that when I read the Bible, I have to see the message from a different lense, but human nature is to read into something without understanding the concepts of the spirit and body... Understanding that just because something is said in Allegory doesn't diminish its message. I'm not comfortable coming from the club house mentality of modern Christianity because much of God's word was left out of the Cannon by bishops for clear reasons... I'll leave it at that... everyone will have their moment in heaven to reflect on what and why they believed what they did. God Bless.
In the late 70's there was a similar documentary type of movie that came out. It was called Beyond and Back. I have never forgotten it. So I hope this movie will have the same sort of effect on people, and that it will point them to Jesus.
We saw the movie...and it was a confirmation to the NDE that my husband experienced when he had a hemorrhagic stroke.. he had 2 spiritual experiences during this health crisis..and now shares with whomever will listen..there is beautiful after physical death.. God is real!
60 now but at 18 I had a knife at my throat, had never seen a bible. In my mind I said God am I going to die. I heard a voice say now is not your time.
I saw it twice. Most of the film can be seen or pieces together by TH-cam content. It’s beautiful and well done. I felt that more detail was needed in peoples’ actual nde and especially their follow-up.
I was listening to an NDE of someone recently (I forget their name, but they are a Christian now) and God showed them Hell. What the demons would often do when you get a new person in hell that might be resuscitated, they would create an illusion for that person to make Hell look a lot nicer (e..g the person thinks they are sitting in a green field). However that illusion doesn't last long as people soon feel the intense heat and bitterness of the place. The aim being that people that are revived don't realise just how bad hell is and then turn to God. So for the NDE's that go against the Bible, that is what I think is happening there.
Very fair assessment. I haven't seen the movie yet but I certainly intend to. It was announced in my 229 year old Baptist Church in Petersburg, KY this morning in service
I watched it today and I was impressed. The movie in the beginning talks about when Paul in the book of Acts was stoned to death but then came back to life.
Ive spent the past two years looking into NDEs and many of them were not a specific religion in nature. If people are worried about seeing ones that are not Christian based then how secure can you really be in your beliefs? If you only want to know things that confirm what you want then you are purposely blinding yourself.
Nice breakdown. The contradictions may come from a 3rd realm a lot of Christians overlook. Sheol or "Purgatory" or "Hades". This is the land of the dead pre-judgement and it is Biblical. I am really interested in the film and encouraged more by hearing someone so lucky to see it early and suggest it be watched. Thank you, brother. God bless!
Watched this movie and was most definitely encouraged... I completely agree with your statements of what can be proven with fact and what is emotional and completely just the person's experience..I'm also very interested in OBEs and NDEs...seek first to understand the to be understood..I love Jesus and I believe his resurrection... come Lord Jesus
I had an OBE during a car accident that could have caused my death. I didn’t tell anyone for some time. Scientists try to explain everything by saying neurons keep firing for awhile after everything else has stopped. I was told that my OBE was caused by the seat belt stopping my heart briefly.
I have been through NDE's and numerous OBE's and the near death experiences were like the same thing but with a new set of glasses. The spirit can travel and it takes the non physical parts of your consciousness with it. It can go anywhere and there is so much to see, to experience, I think that's what I was before I came here. Just an explorer, a curious sprite with no concept of time that happened upon this little blue ball and took an interest in the goings on and decided to give it a go. I have seen the ineffable but nothing still compares to the mystery of what is within the light that I saw both times that I almost died? I could not enter it but it was like I was drawn into it no matter where I tried to go, it didn't seem bad but I think I just knew that there was no going back if I went into it. OBE's are different, the world, the cosmos and alternate realities are all possible to explore within this state but I have discovered caution because other people as well as beings that range from benevolent to evil reside within this realm of perception. The only thing that wards the darkness off that has ever worked for me is to call upon Christ for help. I'm not the churchgoing type but I do believe in him because I have seen him work and if he's real then God is and so are the denizens of hell as well as the angels so I humble myself before that given certainty. I didn't need or ask for proof beyond faith but it was nevertheless a gift. I am not afraid to die anymore, when my work is done here I think I get to go on to more awesome things. This body is cool but it's kind of like a space/environment suit, it's not me, none of the meaty bits are really me, I'm something else.
Your mind is connected to God in life and in death. The mind is the same thing as the soul...mind & soul, heart & soul, which survives the death of the body and brain. Once the brain no longer filters your mind, your knowledge expands along with your senses. Since your mind is connected to God, your death experience will coalesce with the life experience you had in your relationship with God before your death. Love God as much in life, as you will love him in Heaven. That was a major take away from my NDE.

Hey Jon, Angel Studios is a Mormon owned company. I wouldn’t call it “Christian”. That said, I have no idea whether the producers and other participants of After Death subscribe to Christian orthodoxy or not. Seems to me that given the beliefs of Mormonism, the NDEs, even the ones that contradict biblical Christianity, would be more compatible with Mormonism.
On a different note, the guy Tim Ballard, on whom the movie Sound Of Freedom is based, is a dyed in the wool Mormon. His stated goal is to lead many people to Mormonism through his anti-trafficking work. That is, he saw his work with child trafficking as a vehicle to bring a Mormon revival in the US and the world. Have you been following the 💩 that’s lately hitting the fan regarding Tim? Sexual harassment and abuse allegations, and lawsuits from multiple women who worked at OUR.
Going forward, I’d advise all Christians to critically evaluate anything coming out of Angel Studios. While much of it may be wholesome, I don’t trust the overall agenda.
Great analysis! There was a lady who died and went to hell, but for a little while she thought she was in heaven. They gave answers she wanted to hear and believe then the demonic manifested and she realised it was a trick. I have had the thought that some NDE might be demonically deceptive to lead some people astray into the new age! Thankfully in this case it woke her up instead.
@@JhutaNabi Do you have evidence for all this 🤔? Not arguing just asking.
@@CLDJ227 Movies are crowdfunded and made by individuals. The owners of the crowdfunding website are mormon, but the abraham movie for example wasn't made by them, but by an evangelical if I remember correctly. Crowdfunding is where people pay for the production of a product and the artist managing it mantains full control.
Another thing, is just like now, we see darkly through a glass. It makes sense that someone who dies may not fully understand things, just as people on this earth don't fully understand things.
I saw the film today & I genuinely wanted to not only love Jesus more, but also love other people more. It definitely inspired me to be more vocal about the goodness of Jesus & pray that people truly get out of the darkness that they live in.
The only one that can take you out of the darkness into the light is the Lord Jesus when he died for each and one of us he took that very seriously and even though that we were sinners he died for us because he loved each one
Great to hear the positive resulting motivation from the movie. All things are summed up in Christ.
I mean, that's great and all. But doesn't the Bible say that no man has seen Heaven? And that the only way we could to is during judgment day after he second coming of Christ? Wouldn't this movie contradict scripture? And I thought your physical body goes to Heaven as well.
@@dixonb.tweenerlegs4225 The bible doesn't say that no man has seen heaven. It only says that no man has ascended into heaven.
"No one has ascended to heaven but He who came down from heaven, that is, the Son of Man who is in heaven."
(John 3:13)
Your physical body doesn't go into heaven either. That doesn't happen until we are resurrected by Christ. Until then only the spirit can go.
Spiritual trips to heaven and hell are biblical. If God wills it, it will happen. As a matter of fact, it happens more often than people think, even till this day.
@@Tone2593 Sorry. So in the bible, people have died, went to Heaven and came back? As shown in this movie?
I know a doctor who said he had an elderly man go into cardiac arrest during an operation while his wife was in a waiting room . The patient was angry after being resuscitated & told the doctor that he had been in a beautiful place holding his wife's hand & didn't want to leave her. It turns out that she had a heart attack while waiting & had died. My friend was an athiest at this time & this made a big impression on him.
I lost my fiancé to COVID almost 4 years ago to c o v i d, he was only 43. This is tragically beautiful and deep. Wow.
That’s amazingly dope, thanks for sharing!
I don't know why but it seems that the dead or the departed they know when death will soon hit them. My father before he died he taught a lot of things as he knew he will pass a way shortly After that.
Oh wow!
@@NurseSnow2UI'm so sorry for your profound loss.❤
My friends and I went to see this movie on Friday. Two years ago when I had Covid(for 3 months), I died and went to heaven. I can totally bare witness to this movie. I do wish that they spoke more about Jesus and the Bible. Per the book of John, no one gets to the father except through the Son.
Please, could or would you attempt to paint a somewhat visual picture of the “Heaven” you speak of? I am just deeply interested in if there are similarities between yours and of other descriptions I have heard described previously. Thank you 🙏
I agree but the whole point I believe was to scientifically show that there is indeed life after death
@@Paul4Krista20 when my husband and I watched the movie, I kept talking because I was telling him how my experience was like theirs. I can paint but there is no painting what I saw.
Thank you. I initially thought your comment had mentioned heaven and I was seeking a visual of sorts as to what that may have looked like compared to this realm ❤
What was it that caused you to die? You mentioned Covid but was it a ventilator, certain pharmaceutical drugs etc?
As an NDE’er myself, I totally agree that the resurrection of Christ is the centrepiece of our faith and that in which we put our trust. People don’t set up NDE’s or OBE’s; they happen when people are not looking for them. Trust me on that. Also trust that the Bible is God’s authoritative Word, and all NDE/OBE experiences must be subjected to that.
I think mine was a Death Experience, not a NDE. My theory is that some are real, and some are visions. I think Near-Death Experiences are probably visions, but if you really die, it is a real experience. Just a theory, but it seemed more real in heaven than here on Earth.
@@archangel_oneI’d think they’re more like visions you don’t immediately go to heaven after death you are sent to a state that is like sleep but not really and you are both here nor there the rapture is the event that will send those souls to heaven as it is explained that the dead shall rise first. But that’s just my 2 cents I’ve never really cared to learn more about NDEs but if you want to just ask Yah this could all be explained in a dream or maybe there’s even some scripture that shows you everything. The wonderful thing about our father is he actually cares he wants you to learn but you have to take the steps to make sure you aren’t opening yourself to corruption.
@@BaggerFood101 I went straight home to God. Jesus was right there with me the entire time.
The only thing I cared about was seeing Our Father, but I was not allowed. He was hidden behind mist and light. That's when I knew that I was dead, and that I was going to be sent back.
My great-grandfather was there to greet me, as were those in my family who died in Christ. He looked perfect and very young, as did all the others. He died when I was around 11 months old.
I knew that many were supposed to be there, but they were not. Holding onto my right arm, from oldest to youngest, were four children. I knew all the others, but did not recognize them.
So I asked the oldest boy, "who are you?" referring to all of them. And he answered, "We know you, but you don't know us [yet]."
Jesus turned me around and sent me back down to Earth. It was all wonderful, very pleasant, except when I was back in my body again. The pain was unbearable.
My memory of the experience began to fade, so I asked God to please let me remember the children.
My friend and his wife were banging at the door, I had to crawl over to unlock it. They said that God told them that I needed help. I have no idea how I got to the hospital.
When I woke up just before dawn, I was in a wheelchair in the main hall of the hospital, and many doctors and nurses were there in front of me. A doctor was on his knees beside me. He said to me, "[my name] you're dead." This was not the only time this happened, but it was the first.
According to him, they had run 3 tests on a machine, all of which said that it was impossible for me to be alive. So they got out the two newest machines, primed them and retested, three times each -- same results.
So I asked him, "so you ran the same tests three times and three different machines -- a total of nine tests?" He said yes.
So I said something like, "God brought me back."
I said, "Jesus said, I am the resurrection, and the life: he that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live:"
One of the doctors (or nurse) on the end, looked like she was going to pass out. She left, and another doctor went with her. They both looked terrified.
I started to pass out and the doctors all started leaving. I asked the doctor who was beside me, "who are all these people?" He said that it was all the doctors and nurses in the entire hospital.
He turned me to the north, and I saw the parking lot light up due to the sun rising, and I passed out.
This was not the only such experience.
I've asked God who those children were, and I believe that they were my grandchildren, yet to be born, yet to die. None of them made it, they were right in order, a boy, and then three girls. I never told my daughter, but I told her husband after the last one died.
@@archangel_onefascinating. Thanks for sharing.
You said- "After the last one died?"
I'm not sure I understand if they haven't been born yet....
@@cmorr70I'm assuming miscarriages.
You don't have to be a Christian to have a near death experience. It happened to me before I even knew about Christianity. I actually had two near death experiences while still in my teens. There was a Christian lady praying for me I later found out. So yeah...God can reach anyone who is willing.
He didn't reach out to me cause if he did I wouldn't exist to be abused by yall skum daily 😂😂😂

Just viewed the movie, and it was good for non-believers to initiate them into an evangelical encounter. I spoke with a Catholic couple right after the movie to get their opinion. They loved it, but he wasn't sure he was going to heaven. The Lord used me to address this man's spiritual block. We talked about salvation and the gospel and they were convicted to change their approach to the Word. I think everyone will be touched by this movie. Great review and points my friend!
Thanks for the great example of using that as an opportunity to share the gospel!!
This right here this message to be preaching for the pulpit Christians go there anointed by God go there with the minister of Angeles and you go out there and you do what Jesus said to do going to all the world peace of gospel tell them Jesus Christ death and Resurrection is how we know how we get to heaven use this moment go outside with gospel tracks about knowing Jesus Christ so you're after death experience is a heavenly one and not a helllish one
Bro, your ability to tie every topic and experience back to the cross is absolutely awesome! As always, I appreciate your content!
In my opinion, those who are not believers will often be deceived by evil spirits during near death experiences. This is why everything must be interpreted through the lens of the Bible. Everything including near-death experiences are opportunities for people's faith to be tested.
Yeah devils can transform themselves to look like angels of light. I think they probably intercept the souls of non believers who are kinda stuck between Earth and Heaven/Hell when their soul leaves their body. They teach them the lie that all religions lead to heaven and send them back to their bodies to spread more lies and lead more souls to Hell.
Amen! Read the Word of God. Simple.
Agreed!
You got many nde where peoples see jesus in heaven or see hell many.
Yes and 2Corinthians 12:4 is about Paul’s experience seeing heaven and God told him to not speak of it and gave him a “thorn in the flesh “ so he wouldn’t ever be tempted to speak of it.
My then atheistic late brother had the second experience. As he actually did die for a while. Though it's TRUE what he saw as heaven cannot be verified. His meeting our Grandmother was as he had never met before but described her to a T. And when he came to fear had completely left him. He gave his life to Christ. He was extremely frail through cancers however his Spirit was lit and all he lived for was to be baptised so he could tell all his friends about Jesus and heaven being real..But this was how we knew gir sure he had been to heaven. He publicly confessed to the whole congregation and his mates how selfish he had been and lived all his life. Trust me this was huge. Pride had bern broken. But when he said God could take him right now or heal him I knew death had lost its grip on him and he was fearlessly free.
Previoulslwhen we found out his diagnosis I asked the Lord if he would die. That he would live to declare the glory of the Lord and that's exactly what happened as week later he passed away. Only an encounter with God could have brought such a change that all he wanted was to testify to all his atheist friends before passing.
I believe if the encounter is life changing and brings Glory to God and God alone then that person has had a true encounter. Thank you for sharing and that you will see your brother again 🙏
Thank you for sharing your story.
Amen 🙏
“The evidence for the resurrection, far exceeds that of peoples internal experiences that can’t be corroborated or verified.” Thanks for saying that, brother! 😊

What isthe evidence for ressurection?
@costealucia5357 Go read 1 Corinthians 15, it will give you the answer
@@costealucia5357
Good point.
Most people & courts would accept first-hand eyewitness testimony as evidence, yes.
And hundreds saw
My friend's son had an overdose and watched himself from the ceiling, while he was on the table and being worked on. He because Christian after this event. He said he is not afraid to die anymore.
I also watched my body from the ceiling in the ER. I was having an allergic reaction to a drug given to me. When I woke up I asked if I almost died, and everyone said no, but I swear I saw the light and was approaching the gates of heaven.
Same… I was floating at the ceiling talking to JESUS CHRIST. I thought whoa I was out of it… then the next time I went in they asked me I do bad under anesthesia? I said no. They said yeah you do; you quit breathing last time. We had to bring you back… I WAS STILL CONNECTED BY THE SILVER CHORD ECCLESIASTES MENTIONS. None of us truly truly died. They were still connected. Once that chord is cut, it’s a wrap. I’m not new age. The BIBLE is facts.
I personally know Captain Dale Black. His testimony is absolutely true. The effect and change it has had on his life is absolutely profound. He didn't tell anyone about it for many years. He is the single most honest and humble man that I have ever had the privilege and honour to know. He since lived to honour and glorify the Lord alone. Please go see this movie .....their testimonies are incredible.
I have a hard time believing Howard Storm’s, (because of a couple of very odd things that he says in interviews, like alluding to Jesus telling him about aliens that are way more intelligent than us, and also alluding to babies being reincarnated) but I ABSOLUTELY believe Dale Black’s testimony. Zero kookiness/weirdness at all whatsoever and the fruit is very evident in his and Paula’s life. If there’s one NDE I believe (and I’ve researched HUNDREDS)… I believe Dale Black. I’m sad that Howard Storm’s testimony is even in this movie because I believe that anything even RESEMBLING aliens is part of the coming great deception and I believe that anything REMOTELY having to do with reincarnation is utterly false. Babies who get aborted don’t “get another chance at life”. They go to Heaven. Period. I’ve also never heard Howard Storm say anything like “Jesus is the only way to Heaven. If you don’t have Jesus, you will go to Hell.” Howard Storm also says that Jesus laughed at a somewhat crude joke that Howard made, and I don’t know if I buy that, either. I’m open to being wrong, but after listening to SEVERAL Howard Storm interviews, his experience just didn’t fully sit right with me. God correct me if I’m wrong, and I will totally repent. God bless Howard Storm regardless. 🙏🏼
When I was 18, a non Christian, the brakes failed in my brand new car. I went through the win shield when the car wrecked, knocked out. I was walking in black darkness when I asked where am I? A man’s voice said you have to back. You’re there for a reason. I’m living that reason now. I always thought of the words back and there. There’s a heaven to gain, a hell to shun
I remember our pastor had a NDE and he has hovering above his hospital bed while watching his family praying for him.
When I came to faith, I prayed to God to show himself to me and I found a book in my house about NDE's right after praying. My mom had lent it to me but it was collecting dust on a shelf...it felt very clear that God was using that book to supplement the other evidence I had learned through study of apologetics. The next day I took my son to see Lego Batman in the theater and felt God had a sense of humor...as Batman basically has an NDE, he's shown a summary of his life and realizes he's a "bad guy" focused on his selfish ambitions, and he is sent back with newfound purpose....all very similar to the NDE's I was reading about. I was probably the only one who left that moving crying. Having said that, I've never felt comfortable sharing this part of my testimony, as I've never been sure which NDE's are true...I do think the enemy could use them as a tool for deception so I try to filter it all through the bible.
Your suspicions are correct. What if these kinds of experiences actually poke holes in your filter by coloring your lenses as you read and study your Bible? For instance, did Jesus say to the thief in the cross, you will be with me today in Paradise? Or did he said, Today, [while I'm on the cross, and I seem to be a failure and fraud, today] I tell you, you WILL be with me in Paradise? There's no comma in the Greek, so we have to decide. If we accept the common comma placement, and definitely if we accept NDEs, we'll take the first one. But, if we cross reference where Jesus told Mary that He had not yet ascended to the Father, then we are more likely to choose the second as accurate. Just keep in mind, your are not a neutral, objective observer. The things you read and watch react upon yourself and change how you think and reason and evaluate evidence. I believe this NDE stuff is all calculated to pull Christians away from their Bibles and seek answers from polluted streams.
I've had a near death experience of seeing God and heaven it's all real. God even showed me he would take my grandmother into heaven and it happened in real life
My father was dead for 12 minutes and had an after death experience. It changed us all. My dad was a pastor and the nurse that was in the room when he came back to life still says it changed her life too.
I believe watching and hearing peoples NDE’s brings a lot of people to the conclusion that Christ really did save us and not only that but that he came back and is actually God. I remember going down a rabbit hole on this a year or two before I got on my knees and asked for Jesus. Looking forward to watching this
Amen
Not what Scripture says, it's the preaching of the Gospel that brings people to faith.
If someone can be saved by someone else's experience, they can also be unsaved by a conflicting one.
Stick to the more sure Word, Peter 1: 20-21 which was given by God through
the Holy Spirit. That was spoken after Peter witnessed the transfiguration.
@@judithmargret5972 you don’t have to be particular here. I get what you’re saying and I agree. You may have not understood what I meant. This thing led me to this thing that led to this and that all the way to the SCRIPTURE and here I am typing about Christ.
@@Brometheus.I understand what you mean for some babes this would be what they need to fully come to the alter and give themselves to Yeshua. I’ve met people who were non believers and suddenly they encounter something in the woods that defy all logic and are made painfully aware. That’s going to be the whole point of the tribulation to make your options painfully clear you’re either with Yah or against him there will be no more denying his existence or waiting till you’re older to meet him.
@@Brometheus.but then again the other dude ain’t wrong either because some people are drawn to the clear logic that scripture provides and the gospel brings many people to tears. Yah has many ways of making his presence known it doesn’t just have to be the gospel and it doesn’t just have to life experiences. But I will say the gospel probably is more effective as not many people are going to go walking in the woods in the middle of no where or experience an NDE
I love your videos. My mother had one of these experiences when she had my older sister in 1947. Her appendix burst at 7 months, and she died on the table. She said she floated above her body and saw the doctors working furiously on her and thought it was amusing and curious. She said it was very bright as she floated upward, and then it was gone. It was nothing short of a miracle that both she and my sister lived. She never told anyone but us about this because she thought no one would believe her. God bless you, my young brother in Christ.
I'm not going to lie. I've always expected half of Christians to encounter a massive door in front of Heaven after that moment, followed by the voice "Depart from me, I never knew you" and then the descent into hell.
Same thing happened to my mother's brother years ago in the 1930s. He was 12 and his appendix burst. He died. My mother and grandmother were standing at his bed in the hospital. About 10 minutes later he suddenly sat straight up and shouted ," mommy". He later said that his dad , who had died about 4 years before, came to him and said he must go back and look after his mom and sister. He said that he had been floating above lovely green grassy fields and he felt to happy. Then his father spoke to him telling him to go back. Remember, he was only 12, so did not know very much about the bible and especially the 23rd psalm, although they were a Church going family. He was a bit young to take it all in, though.
Yeah, satan can give false positive NDEs as well which is why there are many who return with no conviction of sin or judgement. This way they can pass on the deceit and delusion. Test all things and always use discernment.
Amen!
If Satan and demons want to largely remain hidden, why would they allow someone unprotected to pass through the spiritual realm unmolested?
Only someone indwelt with the spirit and defended by angels could possibly hope to tread in the realm of or be capable of observing plainly the spiritual powers and principalities without being condemned.
When I was a teen, my mom and I got into following a new age teacher. The teacher was a former Baptist who had an NDE and went on to teach for decades about spirit guides, channeling, all that stuff! She was totally used by Satan to deceive. My mom and I followed her for years! Sadly, my mom passed without being a believer. I eventually left new age and was born again. But back to your point - the testimony of a nice older lady who “died” and then walked away from the church was very compelling. She was sincere. Must’ve been demonic influence. 😢
@@JayaSavannah
See the parable of the wheat and the tares.Jesus specifically tells us Satan has planted false Christians among us.
Though it's not our job to figure out who, that's between them and God. We only need to live as God commands us, the tares will be sorted at the harvest.
That's not true. Your pushing religion and practicing fear mongering
A man told me about his NDE he was out of body watching the doctors trying to bring him back he headed towards the light away from his body when an Angel stopped him took him back and they spoke above his body in the operating room. He agreed to go back after the Angel convinced him to return. It was very real to him and his account of what went on while he watched from above with the Angel was spot on

@@marlonmarquez4798, what? There’s no “Hellah”, or “Valhalla”. Not according to scripture, and no one can earn their way to God’s kingdom. Jesus Christ is the only way to YHVH, and it’s faith in Christ alone.
As a physician and a Christian, I think your analysis of this subject is very good. It is objective but also Biblically based. It seems that God seldom gives us a glimpse or knowledge of life after death and that seeking knowledge of that may be wrong. Like Jesus said in the story of Lazarus and the rich man, there as a great chasm or separation between this world and the next and God seems to put a barrier between them unless He allows some revelation about it.
Lazarus and the Rich man is a parable about the first resurrection and the Wrath of God.
Paul said he went to the third Heaven. He didn't know if it was in the body, a vision, or out. So, God allows it.
@@speedchaser4991but how parables have no name
Not a parable, this is a real story. When Jesus spoke in parables, he didn't give specific identities, when it came to the rich man and Lazarus, Jesus specified to illustrate just how real Hell really is.@@speedchaser4991

I'm nearly 70. I Found Jesus at age 35. At age 20, I became obsessed with NDE's. I can't wait for this movie . I believe every detail of our life is helping us learn how greatly we are loved by God, the source of love. For the glory of Jesus Christ
Honest and encouraging review-thank you! I’m so intrigued by NDE’s, but your point about the overwhelming evidence for the resurrection of Jesus far outweighing every NDE helps me ground my faith in truth ❤
My own intense NDE led me to mistrust the Church, Christians and religious people, clergy. But it solidified my belief in Jesus and God. It also intensely changed how scripture spoke to me. The way I feel about the whole experience is simply written in 1st John 2:27. Also the parable of the rich man and Lazarus made things clear as to why people don't believe me when I tell them about meeting Jesus when I left my body. Since than God has granted me the privilege of working as a Chaplain in a jail with some very broken people.
I think it would be best if you can be led to a family of other faithful to fellowship with, but that doesn't have to be an institution. The church is the family of Christ, not this or that denomination, building or organization.
I'll pray for you brother.i hope your ministry goes well!
definitely plenty sketchy churches with crafted faiths but the church as a whole isnt affected by these bad apples, I'd recommend to at least look for a solid christian friend's group- we are meant to live in communion to educate each other, ecourage and pick others up when needed
What about Proverbs 3:5-6 ? Or Hebrews 10:24-25 and 1 Corinthians 14:26?
Im an atheist but ppl have visions of ppl all the time, it doesnt mean the vision was real. Maybe you wanted the vision to be real and you simply chose to believe it was. You have no idea how Jesus looked and sounded, yet you are convinved it was him. You are giving yourself a false sense of security that you could not be wrong in your interpretation.
@@CMVMic I see lots of visions about things that happen later on. One of the most startling was of a man who had throat cancer and was dying. I knew the man. He did not have cancer until three years later and he died. He looked exactly like the vision I saw on his death bed. I cannot make myself see things like that. There are many more visions I have seen that happen. If a person desires to be a skeptic they most certainly can choose to do so, but I don't. After all these years of seeing them and watching them happen I cannot be skeptical anymore just because someone expressed skepticism or doubt. What's odd is that there is more doubt in the modern church of supernatural spiritual things than anywhere else, so it seems.
@@jimboswell4818 I cannot make myself see things like that.
Yes you can and many people do.
I think it's normal to be fascinated by life after death. But I agree the Bible needs to be our lens and authority. I think, for me, skipping this movie is for the best right now. Appreciate you making this video! May you be blessed!
After listening to many NDE's experiences, reading many books and following many people commenting on NDE's for many years, personally I believe that when some people pass they are greeted by either Jesus/Angels or if not saved faced with the demonic and that reality BUT sometimes the demons will create a fake narrative and reality to focus in on their belief system and or to pretend to be an angel of light (satan appears as an angel of light, even to the living who play with spiritual darkness) - sometimes in these NDE's when people work out that this is what is happening spiritually, they will remember Jesus and call out to Him and at that point the demonic will reveal themselves and their true nature and Jesus either rescues the person to show them heaven or sends them back to earth.... but those who don't work that out keep their deceptive demonic NDE as a false truth/narrative that they were deceived in, then will go on to tell that deception as truth, not knowing any better.

My husband died 50 days ago and since then I have deep dived headfirst into NDEs and spirituality and it was seriously getting me off course with our heavenly father. Like I was about to lose my faith because of all the contradictions! I will see this movie but as you say take it with a grain of salt. GOD bless you brother.
This movie is truth. Why would it make you lose your faith knowing God is real and so is the soul. We are spiritual beings that's why you are longing for spirituality. Religion is dogmatic and a bit dry. It ha been stripped of all of it's spirituality. This should just enhance your faith. God is universal. He is in all true faiths including yours.
I always appreciate your transparent and balanced view, but most importantly, your effort in always doing your best to keep it in line with scripture.
I agree 100%
My husband and I are both Christians and saw the movie this past Saturday. We thought the movie was very interesting from start to finish and gave us more hope to look forward to our eternal life when we leave this world.
Well, it sounds like they caught another "believer" in their story. The movie was well played and produced enough to convince you what they wanted you to believe. If it were a movie made by the Mormons would it had made you believe it?
Heaven or hell.
This topic has started to fascinate me tremendously in the past few months. It's eery how consistent the accounts are, and how credible.
Had 2 NDEs and it happens but I had one which was horrifyijg that felt like utter separation from God and deep darkness like vanta black yet still being able to perceive beings around you. Terror is an understatement and then after coming to Christ- the experience was inexplicably opposite and it was the most warm hug - deep love & light- feeling of all truth known and everything is okay. It was def a spiritual experience. Just affirmation to me that we are souls in need of THE Savior- Jesus Christ.
I love the idea on how they focused on hope and the love of Jesus. He gives us so many chances to come to him and so many ways to spread his message. I lost a son to suicide that didn't have hope.I pray that the lord gave him that chance like he did with the two who struggled. Thank you for your insight. On so many subjects.I enjoy your videos! Thanks!!
Before my dad died he had an o b e while he was still conscious and he proved to everyone that he was telling the truth by telling us things that he couldn't have possibly known or seen from his hospital bed. He was extremely close to death and dying from leukemia but he didn't die for a few days after that. By the way my dad was a Southern Baptist pastor
What were the things he couldn't have known in that state?
@@EriPages because he was dying we had people coming to visit all day everyday and one of the things he couldn't have seen or known was who was driving down my driveway to come visit him and what they were wearing. He was in the back of the house in his and my mom's room that had been turned into a hospital room but even before his hospital bed was put in their you couldn't see who was coming down the driveway from that room even if you were looking out the window because there was no window facing the driveway and this was in the late eighties way before cell phones. My dad was extremely honest and wouldn't have lied about it anyway. He was also having to be given very large doses of morphine because of the pain he was in but during his out of body and near-death experience he didn't need any morphine and wasn't in any pain at all. His blood pressure was so low the nurse that lived with us was sure he was going to die that day and he did die within the week.
i know some of them that speak a fake works based repent gospel for salvation that damns people,
Baptist pastor or not, the fact that he had a paranormal experience alone proves that he never completely trusted Jesus Christ for his salvation. If he had, he would’ve been indwelled by the Holy Spirit who would have prevented and protected him from demonic intrusion into his mind! People who say they are Christians but don’t believe or understand the fact that unless they realize that there’s nothing a saved believer can do to lose his salvation in Christ! Ephesians 2:8&9 says its now a free gift w/o works, and Ephesians 4:30 says the seal of the Holy Spirit cannot be broken! The doctrine and promises for believers today are found only in Ephesians and Colossians; the rest of the Bible concerns God’s (failed, Acts 28:28-31) relationship with the biblical nation of Israel, so do not look for our gospel in there when believers were still under the Law of Moses!
Trust Christ completely and your demons will flee!

The Bible says the heart is deceitfully wicked
God is love; God never created a robot; he will not violate our free will
Of eternal life Jesus says and few there be who find it; "be one"
Btw R U a good person?
Of course not; only God is good; people need the Lord.
Don't miss it for the world;
born once die twice; born twice die once!
1 Cor 15:51-52
Behold, I shew you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed,
In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed.
O' What a Savior
Amen

NDE stories actually helped me find Jesus again :)
Not that long ago, I had watched another apologetics video on NDEs - not even a week ago in fact! To see a review on a film revolving on this topic within that timeframe feels very spooky! And yet I felt incredibly educated on the film!
Thank you for covering this, Mr Meme! Thank you also for pointing us back to Christ Jesus who conquered the grave!
Dividing the experiences into those two categories was very helpful, thank you. That's pretty much my take on this issue. I just hadn't sorted through it at this level.
Every time I tune in to this channel I am blown away and blessed at the same time.
We met a man 3 decades ago who said he had a NDE one week after getting saved. The thing that touched me the most was that he couldn't remember how he had died, but after being in the presence of Jesus, he didn't care if he was going to be a quadriplegic when he came back. He just wanted another opportunity to live selflessly and share the love of Christ to everyone he could.
I've been looking forward to seeing this film. It's good that you gave people some perspective on how to properly contextualize this film and the experiences of the people who had NDEs.
Good that you broke the testimonies into two categories. Thanks for your sensible and well reasoned critique.
I saw the guys who did this on TimCast a few months ago. They played a rough/raw version of the preview, and I’ve been excited to watch it ever since.
I worked in nursing homes till I was almost 40. Watched alot of people die. Some went out screaming get it away from me, others smiling and saying so pretty come come or do you see how beautiful they are.
Man, I seen it last night! I couldn’t wait. I like your take on it, and your advice, but I was going to say that at least to me it doesn’t really challenge my theology or my doctrine on life after death. This may be for several reasons but in short, I think it’s very encouraging. It was also pretty cool to see the visuals. They attached to the stories. In many cases people say that they can’t describe a color or they heard a sound that was unworldly. I think the movie did a great job a depicting those instances.
I didn’t have a NDE but I did experience him 11 years ago. He came through my window in a light form when I was going through depression anxiety/ intrusive demonic thoughts. I yelled at God one night after praying for about 3 months straight with no healing and suddenly around 7 am the very next morning after losing all faith he came through my bedroom window I did not see him physically, but I saw an orbit light that looks like a human form. It was moving closer and closer to me, as I was lying on the bed. Suddenly a hand touched my forehead, and I instantly knew it was Jesus because he spoke to me telepathically, and told me to repeat after him, although I did not hear his voice, but I knew that he said to repeat after him. This was not said out loud. This is all said telepathically. I then repeat it, and said, but Jesus, what if this is the devil messing with me instantly it came out of me like vomit. I started speaking a different language in my mind which now I know years later is called tongues instantly after speaking that language, the spirit went inside of my body and went from my head to toe. It was like a spirit of love like a river of love, the best feeling I’ve ever felt in my life, and now I will never dealt the presence of Jesus or God or heaven. I now suffer again from panic disorder and anxiety, and I am awaiting his healing yet again 11 years later, at the age of 31 and I know he will deliver me. I pray, for everyone going through something and continuing to stand strong and faithful in him and don’t give up because he will heal you, but it will not be on our time it will be on his time. I praise God every day for that experience I am so grateful I wish I could’ve heard his voice and seen his face, but what I experienced was supernatural an out of this world, unlike anything I could ever even explain clearly. ❤
When I went to see this movie, they were explaining how they felt quotation a river of love an. His light was so loving and how they spoke telepathically to him it’s exactly what I went through, but I wasn’t dead. I was alive. I lived in North Carolina at the time. I’ll wait the day that I die and I get to ask him to show me again that day that he healed me personally.
PS, his hands, I felt his fingers and his hand felt like every normal person’s hand. It was incredible.
The Holy Spirit doesn't come out as "vomit". False.
@@reneezoobuloo That’s not what they said, their doubt came out like that.
Just to be sure you are saved (and this goes for anyone reading this), let God know that you are completely trusting his Son, Jesus Christ, for eternal life that God is offering as a free gift just for the taking - NO STRINGS ATTACHED - in Ephesians 2:8&9 KJV! No demons will be able to mess with you like they did to every single person that has a NDE!
I went to watch it a couple of days ago. I have seen most of the testimonies before. The movie is geared towards 18-year-old and older. the only complaints were that Regal played a good 30 minutes of commercials before the movie. Never experienced so many commercials before this movie. If you fear death or have lost someone it is a good movie to see. I pray that Jesus Christ opens all our eyes to truth before it is too late for any more of us. God Bless.
I think you have to compartmentalize a film like this as an introduction into the spiritual for those who are beginning to ask questions. It's a good starting point to illustrate something comes after... and once they mature enough and learn more about Christianity they begin to understand that sometimes an NDE can be a lie by the enemy.
I had an NDE in the OR. I was having a c section and I was given too much anesthesia. I knew I was not breathing and that I was dying. I was just entering into the Shadow of Death (darkness) when I asked God to let me stay. I had a 3 year old and now the new baby. I told God there is no one who can do for them what I can do. I actually told God they are all idiots and I want to raise my own children. Before long, I was resuscitated but I never forgot the experience almost 40 years ago. I was right about being surrounded by idiots, I just never knew how bad it was like I do now. I am relieved no one else raised my children for me.
Experienced a man die, he had had a rough life, including drugs and amputations. He was on a monitor with no electrical activity for ~20 minutes. He was covered with a sheet and we noticed some movement. I pulled the sheet back and he said, “ you didn’t get the body bag yet?” I asked what had happened, and he said,”I can’t tell you, it was too bad.” He coded again and didn’t come back.
I’ve also heard of stories of people who had NDEs who said that “beings of light” first met them and were leading them “to heaven” but as they progressed, the “beings of light” became progressively meaner and would bite them and call them derogatory names. For whatever reason, the person came back from their NDE to tell the story. It seems that the “beings of light” were actually demons, and the experience was intended to confuse a nonbeliever in Christ.
That’s why I’m sceptical about NDE because I think they are just figments do the imagination or they are demonic deception. Pretty sure Jesus says that if the soul isn’t with the body then it is with Christ (could be remembering wrong but something similar ) … meaning no inbbtween exploration
Why would god even allow that bruh
@@donovancumby5835 It happened to a Non-believer. Not a believer. Thats why God would allow it.
@@cannotbeshaken7889 but why would god allow demons to confuse people
@donovancumby5835 God doesn't "allow" demons to torment you. People choose to be tormented. God warns us all that the wages of sin are death. He provided a way out and a whole guide on how not to be tormented. But He will not override our free will. So if we choose to go on without Him, He'll respect our choice. He just wants to make sure we know what we will face if our choice isn't Him.
I had 3 near death experiences. My brain has lost the ability to give the signal to breathe at night…. I am now dependent on an apnea machine when I sleep. I am always leery when people say that they see Jesus or heaven, etc. I know what Scripture says about seeing Jesus, or heaven etc. One thing I do know for sure is that I had to surrender to the fact whether I was going to live or die. I knew my life was in Jesus’ hands. Not literally. I didn’t see Jesus. I felt the peace, comfort, refuge, and love of Jesus….But I also felt the presence of Satan (demonic) … which didn’t scare me, because I knew I could trust the Lord to get me through the valley. (Not visual). Psalm 23 immediately came to mind. I didn’t have a “heaven” or “hell” visual experience. I got this feeling at one point when I realized I was going to live…. Something inside my spirit, (the Holy Spirit) impressed upon my heart, “don’t worry, I will carry you through it” (not audible). I knew that if I lived my life was not going to be easy….. My life flashed before my eyes on some level…. I knew the Lord knew all of me….the good, the bad, and the ugly…. I think that is when I realized and came to know the depth of mercy, love, grace that He extended to me. I believe during this time, it led me to a repentance. I felt people’s prayers for me….I knew that my life was not my own. Another weird feeling was that my Dad and brother who had both passed away were holding me up. Standing on each side of me. Here’s the thing, I didn’t see them….but felt their presence. Do I believe it was them? I am not going to put my faith in experiences. The Scripture about a great cloud of witnesses came to mind. Another weird feeling was that past, present, and future….felt like they were happening all at once. I can’t explain it.
My faith in Jesus is unseen. My experiences of what I saw or experienced is not the object or subject of my faith. Jesus and His Word are. That is the only Truth I can stand on…..not my experience. My faith does not come from my experience. It comes from Jesus and His Word.
There’s more to the story…. but I will leave it at that. It really is hard to talk about.
Yeah, not sure if I want to go see this movie. Leery if they take the stance that people should believe other people’s experiences for heaven, as being the true heaven stated in Scripture….not people’s version based on their own belief system. Satan can deceive and come across as an Angel of light.
I have siblings who have OBE’s.
Thank you for sharing!! That's got to be a very interesting (challenging?) way to live, being so dependent on a machine.
Thank you so much for posting this. I really wish I would’ve saw this before I saw the movie today. But to be honest, I already kind of knew some of the stuff you were talking about. I have been into near death experiences since I was a young kid. I think anything that explore the supernatural and clinical scientific way is really cool and needed. I myself am a queer Christian I go to church 100% try my best to live by Christ but not always by what the church says. But at the same time I do believe I’m a part of the church. And I do help out my local faith community with their website. I have had an uncle that has had a near death experience, and I believe at one time I had a near death experience during a dream. I personally loved the movie. It was very well produced and I like how the message wasn’t definitive in the main movie. I like how at the end they still ended it with a question. And they were saying stuff like it’s OK to be a skeptic. I know in the scriptures talk about testing the spirits and questioning everything if it does not line up with certain things. Also the profits and people of God always questioned God on things that he did, but he didn’t strike them down for that. I definitely think that the supernatural/the unseen universe is vast and diverse as we all are. And I think God can use anything to reach somebody. God bless you. Thank you for putting this out.
Read Revelations..the sexully immoral will NOT inherite the kingdom of God.
Keep seeking. Jesus loves you very much. The Truth will set you free❤
I saw the movie and really struggled with there not being a clear understanding or presentation that Jesus is the light, the love felt, and to only way to that light and love of God. I kept waiting for that and didn’t see it. Of course maybe that was not the goal of the movie. Maybe it was just to make the skeptics aware that there is life after death. I’m not sure I could recommend it. I really appreciate this message and your perspective. I agree that people’s experiences may not actually be God induced.
I just saw it and feel exactly the same. I've actually seen the more complete versions of all those testimonies but two. Each one of them points the way to Jesus in the full recounting. I was shocked that those crucial parts of their testimonies were omitted. I actually left feeling that, if I were an unbeliever watching it, I'd think all I would need to do to go to heaven is love people and be good to everyone. That really bothered me.
@@robynnwren1068 yes exactly!
All you need is to stand beside a dead body to realize something invisible (soul, life, etc) is absent.
Great point.
We don't have an immortal soul
I thank God I came across this channel.
God bless you bro. Learned a great deal
Hey, I’m a Christian, and a (formerly) atheist friend told me to see this movie. He hadn’t been to church since he was 12, and he hasn’t MISSED church since seeing the movie. So that’s all the encouragement I needed! If it’s turning folks towards our Lord, then I am all for it. Watched it. Super moving and encouraging
I’d also recommend a video that Testify did with Bruce Van Natta recently.
He had an OBE after a truck fell on him, the axle squishing his body to a couple of inches thick.
(He miraculously survived the accident, but with a severely shortened intestine. But this was powerfully healed later with prayer.)
I totally loved it. It made me cry several times, I've studied NDE'S and as I always say they more match than don't. We know there is a heaven and a hell and we hear both sides. I loved it and will be watching it again
I went unconscious from hypoglycemia early this year and my wife told me i was confirmed dead at two different hospitals. I had no recollection of anything happening here. I can only remember being alone in a dark place, so dark that I was searching for light. It was endless, i was just moving frantically but there's no end to the darkness. I was hearing voices but couldn't make out what they were saying. Then as I moved further into the darkness in search of light, something kept pulling me back. I woke up suddenly in the hospital, oxygen mask on my face, lights beaming all over me. I don't think I died, but why would the doctors confirm me dead. What really happened to me?
That is really unsettling.
Sounds like You were in Sheol friend.
I've been looking for a comment like this. This was my experience too! I attempted to take my own life by overdose. I got a call right as I was waiting ti pass that encouraged me to try and live. I walked to a nearby fire department right as I was about to pass out. They had to bring me back on the way to the hospital from what I was told. I went to a place as you described, endless black, no light. All I could do was think about my regrets. Right when I was sinking into despair I was pulled back into my body and was able to open my eyes. Already had felt like eternity though. I've only seen one other person besides you describe it similar to me.
I gave my life to Christ afterwards though and promised God I'd never quit on living my life again.
@@menak8870 Exactly my feeling. When I woke up, it's about 2AM in the morning, a man having an asthma attack was brought in. He died within 10 minutes. I lay on my bed thinking he would come back to, but no, he was gone. It dawned on me that day that we are closer to death than we think. From that day, I became more conscious and intentional about my life. I didn't want to be lost in that thick darkness again if eventually death comes for me.
Praise Jesus for the sacrifice of His life for us ❤
Im mexican still learning english yet i love this channel please dont stop making videos ..
Soy de Estados Unidos y estoy tratando de aprender español.
I was so exited when I read the book by Raymon Moody who wrote about people having nde, when I was engagered in the occult. For me, at that time, it was just fuel to my false spirituel belief. Because none of them talked about sin or repentence. For me it just confirmed what I allready believed: that there was a spiritual world. So when I became a christian, by Gods mercy, I started to question nde, and I tried to find answers. Not many had spoken about this. But I found a few christians who had taken it on heart.
One of the testimonies from a man who claimed to be a christian, was mixing christianity with the occult. As the bible tells us: test the spirit. One very clear indication of nde not being true, is when a person returns and still have no clue about what sin is.
You are right. I had a friend who experienced this during a difficult labor and she went right on with her New Age beliefs which were not challenged at all. BTW, I met Raymond Moody when I I had a job setting up conferences. A lot of nutty people at that one!
"still have no clue about what sin is." Good point. God bless
I had a NDE, I was born a diabetic and in 2019 right before covid hit I got very ill, life threatning ill. I went to the ER and was quickly put into ICU, they had no idea what was wrong with me. I died the first day I was there. I was given a choice to come back or stay, with newborn grand babies here. I chose to come back, I was told I would be very ill but would survive, the doctors thought they brought me back, I spent three weeks in ICU and after getting out and coming home it was six months to get my strength back.
I published a book a few months ago, titled, "Embodied Afterlife: The Hope of an Immediate Resurrection" which dealt with all these issues from a different perspective. I thought your comments were helpful and insightful; you're spot on.
My wife and I saw the movie last night. Interestingly, your video populated into my YT feed. We wholeheartedly agree with your assessment. Non-believers may takeaway that accepting Christ as Lord and Savior and His sacrifice at the cross isn’t needed to get to heaven.
The movie is well done. But believers in Christ must take it with discernment.
Several years ago, I read Dale Black’s book Flight to Heaven. It was such a beautiful narrative of his NDE, and so unlike the cheesy (unbiblical) stories of others I’ve read. From what I can recall, he never mentioned seeing his dead relatives, or anybody singing Old Rugged Cross while strumming on harps and floating on clouds with the rest of the “heavenly choir.” He wrote about the intersection takeoff that was chosen by the pilot in question, and the subsequent stall accident that was terrifying, along with the death of the two pilots, whom he did NOT see in heaven, but also never assumed that they are now in hell! He talked more about the sensations and emotions of his vision of heaven, without asserting that he was actually there in reality. I highly recommend his book. Couldn’t put it down.
Saw the movie and all can say was something literally gave me tears especially the atheist story like it really touch me a lot. Not as I’m atheist it’s just what he say as “But me back I don’t belong here” cause it’s true in the end we don’t belong in heaven for how sinner we are and mostly we following our own path and sometimes leaving Jesus beside but the end he still follows us and want us to be with him. And the end we gonna be with him as we don’t deserve it but he did it for us cause the end we don’t need to be in hell we needed to be in heaven but there’s ppl that’s never gonna see that way. But from all that 10/10 movie I know that movie will blow up even when the devil wanna hide it god gonna be opening people eyes.
I'll never forget a story I heard about a friend at the bedside of his loved one who heard him, while in a coma screaming: "No! Don't take me! Get back," screaming bloody murder. Only when he woke with a grin on his face, he spoke of how he discovered we all go to a place without suffering - automatically. This reminded me: "Satan appears as an angel of light," and is"the father of lies," the"deceiver."
We don't ALL go to "a place w/o suffering - automatically." You contradicted yourself by saying beforehand that the friend was screaming, "No! Don't take me! Get back,". If one is not a truly saved Believer, they're not automatically going to a place w/o suffering.
@@heatheresteubing-fisher9729 you need to read it again & comprehend, because that's exactly what he meant lol the person in the coma said that everyone automatically goes to a place without suffering.. the person commenting is saying satan is a liar & deceiver, because that statement is not true; not everyone will go to heaven..
That's not what that means.
@@heatheresteubing-fisher9729 no one needs saving...hundreds of thousands of people who have NDEs say there is no judgement, no such thing as sin.
@@paulharrisonadventuregearm5457 Then you haven't heard/seen the ones whose NDE's were in Hell.
As a believer in Christ. I had two instances where I felt i was very near death and at both of those times an un-natural peace filled me and took away all my fear. It was such an encouraging experience to be able to completely rest in him when everything around me was going crazy and falling apart.
As usual, WYM gets it perfectly. As Justin Peterson said, a lot of "heaven" experiences differ, so take it with a grain of salt. But those verifiable OBE's put weight in
Hi there im from South Africa
Almost 18 yrs ago my son ws involved in mva pedestrian
We rushed him to our children's hosp
Called RED X and his heart stopped
exactly a yr after that he told me about his experience
I was in tears nd cld nt belive this child went through this.
It still give me chills
what happened ?
So we went to see it last night. I have a few thoughts on it. One thing that I wished they had done was narrated the visions and things that the people saw instead of just showing space and lots of light over and over. I brought my daughter who was not saved and I wish that they had spoke of Jesus more. I also wish that as they were telling the stories and coming back to each person that they would have told more about the stories details. Like the pilot. I feel we got bits and pieces. In the end I didn't leave there feeling emotionally touched or impacted, just left hanging.
My wife and I plan on seeing this movie tomorrow. Thanks for the heads up. God Bless
Thanks for posting this. I, like you, have questions about the experiences many people have that report NDE's. As Christians we are taught from an early age that only through Christ can we experience the joys of eternity in the afterlife. As Christ says "I am the door no ones comes to the Father except by me". NDE's seem to contradict this as many others outside of Christianity share the experience and the afterlife. While this is a legitimate question I want to make sure the I am not looking through the same lens as the older brother in the prodigal son parable who is angry that his "sinful" brother has returned to the fold. I was troubled as a young person by the vast multitude of others seemingly condemned to Hell by a circumstance of their birth in another country or another faith system. I have reconciled my worry not by leaving the faith as some others have but by accepting the fact that I trust in a loving compassionate God who will always be just and fair. If the afterlife is populated with non-Christians as well as Christians I welcome them and have absolute trust that this is all part of God's plan!
I Believe that when a Person Has a Life After Death Experience, it is Tailored Specifically to Them and There Current Spiritual Progression and Directed Toward the Personal Leasons God Has for Them to Learn Based on They're Current Spiritual Circumstances and What They Can Currently Understand and Comprehend. ❤
That's Why Everyone's Experiences will Not Be Exactly the Same.❤
I'm genuinely interested in seeing this movie. I had a lot of OOBE's as a small child, probably due to some existing health conditions. I never told my parents about them, nor did I ever read up on the subject. I heard the term years later as I was explaining what I saw to someone, and they told me what it was called. I'm curious to see if my experiences are similar to the people in this film.
Excellent evaluation. It’s crucial that we apply spiritual discernment in all things, today more than ever.
As a Christian and someone who has experienced my own NDE, I assure you that these things are life-altering in a good way. Profound is not adequate to describe what happened while I was dead.
Can you please share it with us?
As a NDE experiencer when I was 14 years ago 43 years ago and a Christian, The Jesus I was taught in Church and the Jesus that braced me in unconditional love was so undeniably real, but I knew how we perceive with human eyes and human minds are what fundamentally anchor our beliefs, I know now that when I read the Bible, I have to see the message from a different lense, but human nature is to read into something without understanding the concepts of the spirit and body... Understanding that just because something is said in Allegory doesn't diminish its message.
I'm not comfortable coming from the club house mentality of modern Christianity because much of God's word was left out of the Cannon by bishops for clear reasons... I'll leave it at that... everyone will have their moment in heaven to reflect on what and why they believed what they did. God Bless.
In the late 70's there was a similar documentary type of movie that came out. It was called Beyond and Back. I have never forgotten it. So I hope this movie will have the same sort of effect on people, and that it will point them to Jesus.
We saw the movie...and it was a confirmation to the NDE that my husband experienced when he had a hemorrhagic stroke.. he had 2 spiritual experiences during this health crisis..and now shares with whomever will listen..there is beautiful after physical death.. God is real!
Very thoughtful and honest assessment - definitely plan to see this movie. Keep up the great content, God bless 🙏
I love reading the comments here! Thank you for sharing!!!
I watched the film today, I believe the whole point is to show there is indeed life after death and we are eternal beings just as scripture says
Amen and thank you WDM... God bless you...
60 now but at 18 I had a knife at my throat, had never seen a bible. In my mind I said God am I going to die. I heard a voice say now is not your time.
Thank GOD for keeping you! Thank you Jesus christ!
I saw it twice. Most of the film can be seen or pieces together by TH-cam content. It’s beautiful and well done. I felt that more detail was needed in peoples’ actual nde and especially their follow-up.
I was listening to an NDE of someone recently (I forget their name, but they are a Christian now) and God showed them Hell. What the demons would often do when you get a new person in hell that might be resuscitated, they would create an illusion for that person to make Hell look a lot nicer (e..g the person thinks they are sitting in a green field). However that illusion doesn't last long as people soon feel the intense heat and bitterness of the place. The aim being that people that are revived don't realise just how bad hell is and then turn to God. So for the NDE's that go against the Bible, that is what I think is happening there.
Very fair assessment. I haven't seen the movie yet but I certainly intend to. It was announced in my 229 year old Baptist Church in Petersburg, KY this morning in service
Thanks for sharing 🙏🏾
His grace and mercy be upon you and your loved ones 🕊️🥛🍯
I watched it today and I was impressed. The movie in the beginning talks about when Paul in the book of Acts was stoned to death but then came back to life.
Ive spent the past two years looking into NDEs and many of them were not a specific religion in nature. If people are worried about seeing ones that are not Christian based then how secure can you really be in your beliefs? If you only want to know things that confirm what you want then you are purposely blinding yourself.
Nice breakdown. The contradictions may come from a 3rd realm a lot of Christians overlook. Sheol or "Purgatory" or "Hades". This is the land of the dead pre-judgement and it is Biblical.
I am really interested in the film and encouraged more by hearing someone so lucky to see it early and suggest it be watched. Thank you, brother. God bless!
Lee Strobel also had a NDE & made a movie about it also a book called a case for Heaven it was really good
Watched this movie and was most definitely encouraged...
I completely agree with your statements of what can be proven with fact and what is emotional and completely just the person's experience..I'm also very interested in OBEs and NDEs...seek first to understand the to be understood..I love Jesus and I believe his resurrection... come Lord Jesus
I had an OBE during a car accident that could have caused my death. I didn’t tell anyone for some time. Scientists try to explain everything by saying neurons keep firing for awhile after everything else has stopped. I was told that my OBE was caused by the seat belt stopping my heart briefly.
Great review! Intellectually charged, healthy skepticism and positivity. Well done!
I have been through NDE's and numerous OBE's and the near death experiences were like the same thing but with a new set of glasses. The spirit can travel and it takes the non physical parts of your consciousness with it. It can go anywhere and there is so much to see, to experience, I think that's what I was before I came here. Just an explorer, a curious sprite with no concept of time that happened upon this little blue ball and took an interest in the goings on and decided to give it a go. I have seen the ineffable but nothing still compares to the mystery of what is within the light that I saw both times that I almost died? I could not enter it but it was like I was drawn into it no matter where I tried to go, it didn't seem bad but I think I just knew that there was no going back if I went into it. OBE's are different, the world, the cosmos and alternate realities are all possible to explore within this state but I have discovered caution because other people as well as beings that range from benevolent to evil reside within this realm of perception. The only thing that wards the darkness off that has ever worked for me is to call upon Christ for help. I'm not the churchgoing type but I do believe in him because I have seen him work and if he's real then God is and so are the denizens of hell as well as the angels so I humble myself before that given certainty. I didn't need or ask for proof beyond faith but it was nevertheless a gift. I am not afraid to die anymore, when my work is done here I think I get to go on to more awesome things. This body is cool but it's kind of like a space/environment suit, it's not me, none of the meaty bits are really me, I'm something else.
I read some NDEs and DEs. Some stories say that demons fabricate things until God exposed their lies. So there's that.
Your mind is connected to God in life and in death. The mind is the same thing as the soul...mind & soul, heart & soul, which survives the death of the body and brain. Once the brain no longer filters your mind, your knowledge expands along with your senses.
Since your mind is connected to God, your death experience will coalesce with the life experience you had in your relationship with God before your death. Love God as much in life, as you will love him in Heaven. That was a major take away from my NDE.
