NEAR DEATH EXPERIENCES

 

Near death experiences or NDE’s are experiences where a person comes very close to dying and have memories of supernatural phenomena that include bright lights, hear voices, and converse with other people who have died.  These NDE are declared to be proof of life and consciousness after death.  NDE occurs when a person for whatever reason is near death and unconscious.  

There are two main definitions of death; clinical death is when a person appears dead but can be treated to actually prevent the second definition of death, biological death. Biological death is when the brain ceases all function.  During NDE the brain is still functioning thus is not biological death and the possibility of treatment may lead to recovery.  

Now to examine what scripture says about death. All humans are a soul, the union of the human spirit with the human body.  In the creation of Adam YAHWEH first made the body but life did not appear until the human spirit was injected or breath of life was given. The body without the spirit is dead. James 2:26 (first part)  confirms this.  Jesus said that no one has ever gone to heaven except himself.  John 3:13   This proves claims of NDE false as well as the claim of seeing other dead people in heaven or hell.  If you are near to death, clinically, then you are not biologically dead. Your brain is the interface between your human spirit and your body.  The brain transmits to the many parts of your body signals from your spirit.  At biological death the spirit leaves the body and returns to GOD but in a totally dormant state, unconscious state, called by Jesus sleep figuratively.  Since your spirit is what contains all your memories and knowledge and not your brain all of what you are can be raised from the dead by GOD and put into a 100% spirit body in the first resurrection. 2 Corinthians 5:1   Your human spirit does not die when the body dies, it just becomes unconscious, non operational because your spirit must have a body in order to operate.  Job 32:8  Psalm 146:4KJV  Palm 115:17KJV   Isaiah 38:18,19   Ecclesiastes 9:10   I believe NDE is either a response to physical trauma by a working brain yet joined to the human spirit or demonic activity.  If the human spirit is not present in the body then the entire body is dead.  Doctors cannot bring back the spirit.  Doctors can, if the human spirit is present in the body, affect treatment leading hopefully to recovery. Satan and his demons have the ability to possess or influence a human spirit.  In NDE demons use this ability to support the lie of the immortal soul.  Indeed NDE is used by people who believe in the immoral soul lie, as proof of life immediately after death.

I am well aware that people who really believe in NDE will not accept scripture as proof it is false and that is up to them.  YAHWEH said HIS people are destroyed for lack of knowledge,  Hosea 4:6
