Default Near Death Experiences

So I was watching some you tube videos on about this stuff and it was fairly interesting. Whats your thoughts on this subject?

I watched some about hell and heaven. Everyone said very similar things about each. Here are some things they said. About hell you go into a dark smoky tunnel. Then you're in a crowd of people who lure you into this area and they fight you and do nasty things. I guess thats where gnashing at the teeth comes from. Then after that you decent to a pit of fire and they said if you reach that fire you don't come back. They said emotions were the worse, you felt very stressed, depressed, lonely and all of that. Some of them said that if they spoke about God or Jesus the people would back up and couldn't stand it I guess. Then this one guy said he said a prayer and he saw the light while in hell and it lifted him up. Most of these people are atheists. They all said that you are in flesh form in hell as well.

The best for last. Here are some things people said about heaven. Said that there was darkness and their was light and it draw you near to it. When you finally get to the light you feel this overwhelmed feeling of love and security. When you reach the end of the light you are greeted with Jesus or God and a few angels. Some said you have a telepathic conversation and you are in spirit form kind of like a conscienceless. Some say that you go over your life with Jesus and the angels and they tell you what you did good and bad and how you should of went about doing it. One lady said she took a tour of the universe and God showed her this room where he creates things and how they are created. They said that the light is the breathe of God and something else, sorry I cant remember, said that it was the glory of God. One man who was Islam I believe said that well surprisingly Christianity is the correct religion because he went to hell. They also said that you have great knowledge and its actually very simple once you understand it.

I don't know but I think this is interesting. Whats everyone else thoughts ?

I had a NDE. It was before I was a Christian and I guess my cab driver was high on something because he ran the stop sign before I had all my stuff situated and had buckled up. A truck hit us on my side. I passed out for 45 min. I don't remember seeing a bright light, but I remember my whole life fast forwarded to me and I didn't like what I saw. It was pretty much all regretful. I tried to be better after that, but was still pretty messed up.

I know my blood pressure was so low, that I almost died from shock. The one physical thing that happened was that ever since then, watches won't last very long unless I put a piece of Velcro between the watch and my skin. I've heard that it actually messes up a magnetic field or something when this happens to a person.

I also tend to believe that the brain is kinda like a computer and when your body goes into shock, your brain does some strange things. I don't know about the people who saw a light or experienced Hell. Maybe it is a way for God to warn them or something. Has anyone else had a Near Death Experience?

Not exactly, but when my now 21 yr old son was about 18 months old, he somehow opened the back door of my father in laws car that I had borrowed and fell out while I was driving.
I felt a gush of wind and looked back to see him lying in the road.
I went totally into shock, everything was in slow motion and I felt deaf, and yet at the same time, I felt and could see, everything in graphic detail.
Thankfully he was ok, although it took a couple of days for him to recover, but the reality of how fragile life is, was instrumental in my salvation a year later.
So I suppose it sort of was a NDE but in a different way!

Lets see- I rolled a van over down a ravine (3 revolutions), I hit a ford LTD head on with a motorcycle, I was pinned to a build by an 18 wheeler backing up on me. And a few other events- that is why I always joke and say" I have kissed death on the lips so many times I get Christmas cards from him.
And then there was the time I was stuck on the electric line with no way to get free- I remember feeling my heart start to slow down- I said Jesus hear I come. My thoughts were - this is where I am going to die- I am going to Jesus and I wish I had done more for You Lord. No lights but (though my body struggled) a simple peace.
Anyway I guess God looked down and said "that cookie isn't baked yet". My wife heard me scream and thought I had fallen into the back of the attic between the rafters but for some reason unknown to here she disconnected the power and I was able to crawl out.
He simply is not done with me here yet.

Wow ....praise God . I for one am so glad that you are still around as you bring so much inspiration and promises to this forum that you would be sadly missed.

Hey Larry .... You are like the cat with nine lives he he ...but seriously God ain't finished with you yet and it ain't over till it's over. God bless and keep you my dear son.

Just a short note to say , God spared my life as I was shot at in Scotland and is a long story. If it weren't for a forest ranger pushing me behind a van., I would not be here.

I have also had many close calls when driving and jut a few months ago came within inches of a serious accident because of a red light runner. It was not me who put the brakes on in my car but a guardian angel.

God is good all the time.
