NDEs: Off the top of your head, how many features of Near Death Experiences do you know of? Have you had an NDE? Thanks!?

Most near death features are very high budget and include (but are not limited to) explosions, visions of the future, the past, and also of the present - which is generally very boring because you're unconscious; but also very expensive (not because of cost, but because when used as filler for too long people stop watching).

As a person who's only had fifteen near death experiences their entire life, I can't say I'm an expert, but my NDEs have always featured high-profile actors like Adam Sandler and Morgan Freeman (who's generally God telling me to do things that I end up being too busy for). I'm not sure what causes these prophetic visions, but I CAN say that each vision is preceded - and followed - by the arrival and subsequent retreat of a white van featuring the warm, inviting countenance of Mitt Romney (whom I voted for because I'm a true Christian or Mormon (I forget)).

I hope this helps you on your travels don't contact me again (I hope to see you soon)

Features? Well, I know that people dream about going to heaven during it.

I've had a NDE, but I didn't have anything special happen, like seeing heaven or hell.

NDEs blatantly contradict - in every facet - the biblical teaching about death. NDEs are another manifestation of the occult phenomenon known as astral travel - and one doesn't have to be dead, or even near death to experience it.

If, at death, Christians are immediately transported to heaven, Paul's words here make no sense: "For this we say unto you by the word of the Lord, that we which are alive and remain unto the coming of the Lord shall not prevent them which are asleep. For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first:" (1 Thessalonians 4:15-16) If the "dead in Christ" were already in the presence of God in heaven, why would Paul tell the Thessalonians that those alive will not precede them there on the second coming? These verses work only if those "asleep" are in the grave.

Scripture is clear: "For in death there is no remembrance of thee: in the grave who shall give thee thanks?" (Psalm 6:5), and at death, "His breath goeth forth, he returneth to his earth; in that very day his thoughts perish." (Psalm 146:4)

Obviously, NDEs do not fit the biblical teaching about death - and for more reasons than just those stated above. The Bible says also that Jesus Christ is our only hope for salvation: " Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved." (Acts 4:12). yet few, if any, return from their NDE convinced of the need for Christ's atoning blood. Why didn't the being of light, whom many believe to be God, warn them about the impending judgment depicted in Scripture and then give them the good news of Christ as their Substitute in that judgment? Why didn't the "dead" tell them about Jesus and His salvation? Indeed, most of these "dead" were never Christians to begin with, and those who reported meeting the dead are rarely converted as a result of their near-death experience. Those who have NDEs don't usually see the need of Jesus Christ as their hope of eternal life because, after their experience, they believe they already have eternal life.

Both astral travel and NDEs presuppose an immortal soul – a consciousness that exists separate from the body. Yet the Bible teaches that, at creation, the Lord "And the LORD God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul. (Genesis 2:7). The word for "soul," nephesh, is the same word used in the creation account for animals: "And God said, Let the earth bring forth the living creature after his kind, cattle, and creeping thing, and beast of the earth after his kind: and it was so. (Genesis 1:24). According to the Bible, a soul is what we are, not what we possess.

Whatever the physical elements, NDEs are no doubt being successfully manipulated, if not directly caused, by the devil in order to dupe millions into believing that they will automatically live forever.

Meanwhile, because of that misrepresentation of Scripture which says that the dead live on after death, millions of Christians have little protection against this deception. Only by a true understanding of the Bible, which teaches that death is an unconscious sleep un till the resurrection, and by a firm trust in Christ, who along offers eternal life (John 3:16), can anyone be safe from the overwhelming delusions of NDEs.

Otherwise you do not have a ghost of a chance.
