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 float and above their bed.  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. I do not say that the stories people tell are not real to them, they truly believe this experience.  The question is what is the source of the experience. 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   When your are dead you have No eyes to see or ears to hear, you have no body.  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 a response to physical and mental trauma by an unconscious working brain yet joined to the human spirit by 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. In a near death state and being unconscious a person is at the mercy of the devil.  Even when a person is healthy and conscious the devil can possess them.  When under the devils control you will see and do what the devil desires.  Your mind will attribute this and interpret this as your own experience but in fact is what the devil places in your mind.  You will believe with all your heart that you have seen and experienced an NDE.  John 13:2 Satan put thoughts in the mind of Judas to betray Christ,  Acts 5:3 Satan caused Ananias and Sapphira to lie , 1 Chronicles 21:1 and caused David to number Israel.  The devil has false human ministers that he has deceived and uses them to deceive others .  Satan tempts all humans by causing us to lust, covet and desire things that are sin.  Satan can enter people and cause the to see ,say or do his will.  2 Corinthians 11:13,14  In Revelation 13:13 the false prophet performs visible miracles.  2 Thessalonians 2:9  signs and lying wonders of which NDE are a part.  NDE believers have been deceived by the serpents cunning,  2 Corinthians 11:3

Some say that Paul in 2 Corinthians 12:2,3,4  had an NDE but in 2 Corinthians 12:1 said plainly that he had visions and revelations from GOD.  Even Paul could not state categorically that this vision was in or out of his body but said that only GOD knows.  This vision was like the transfiguration or  Daniels visions or Johns writing of the book of Revelation.  If any of these men did indeed go to heaven the Jesus lied to us.  John 3:13  A person can have a vision from GOD or from Satan and both seem totally real and the only way to distinguish between them is by trying the spirits.  The vision from GOD will not violate any scripture but one from Satan will.  This is only one reason why we need study to be approved,  2 Timothy 2:15 

Another scripture to consider,  Ecclesiastes 12:7  both the evil and the righteous die and their body goes to dust but their spirit returns to GOD who gave it.  This understanding would prove false claims of NDE that have a person going to hell because the spirits of saints or sinners go back to GOD at death. There is only one destination for the spirit at death, hell is a lie, and the thought of being conscious after death is a lie.  NDE is therefore a lie.

Even with all the biblical evidence given here many will not believe it.

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
