A Catholic priest from Massachussetts was officially dead for more than 48 minutes before medics were able to miraculously re-start his heart has revealed a shocking revelation that will change everything you once believed.
The 71-year-old cleric Father John Micheal O’neal claims he went to heaven and met God, which he describes as a warm and comforting motherly figure.
Father John Micheal O’neal was rushed to the hospital on January 29 after a major heart attack, but was declared clinically dead soon after his arrival.
With the aid of a high-tech machine called LUCAS 2, that kept the blood flowing to his brain, doctors at Massachusetts General Hospital managed to unblock vital arteries and return his heart to a normal rhythm.

Ummm ... he’s done exactly that ... His name is Jesus, the Messiah of Israel, King of Kings, Lord of Lords, and our Creator God of all things made.
John 14:9
Jesus said to him, “Have I been with you so long, and yet you have not known Me, Philip? He who has seen Me has seen the Father; so how can you say, ‘Show us the Father’?
God is’not’bound by gender, but He also is able to define Himself for us, the way He wants. God has revealed Himself to be a triune God, the Father, as Jesus has explained and told us about, the Son, Jesus, the God-man, the new Adam, and the Holy Spirit, to whom Jesus and the apostles referred to as He.
God has revealed Himself clearly the way He wants to be thought of by mankind. I do not expect God to be sexless or some hermaphrodite amalgam. I expect to see Him as He has described Himself, if I can even see Him through His brightness. I expect to see Jesus as a male.
Mankind encompasses all persons. Sons of God encompasses all believers. Nobody is left’out.
I think the real story here is that they kept pumping blood to his brain while they fixed his arteries.
That is simply amazing.
The rest of it we all get to see at some point.
Wow. You must be fun at parties.
Catholics worship Mary... is this really all that shocking?
And what kind of evidence could he provide that would satisfy anyone on these boards. He could come back with God’s embroidered underwear and no one around here would believe him.
This is clearly a story where you read it it, raise an eyebrow and move on. It’s certainly not worth the degree of debate we see in this thread.
Genesis 1:27 So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them.
Genesis 5:3 And Adam lived an hundred and thirty years, and begat a son in his own likeness, after his image; and called his name Seth.
From those verses, God seems to be a man but He calls Himself:
“Exodus 3:14 And God said unto Moses, I AM THAT I AM: and he said, Thus shalt thou say unto the children of Israel, I AM hath sent me unto you.” “I AM” does not denote male or female.
Catholics (I am one) revere Mary so it could have been Mary or an angel he thought was Mary.
I doubt he will be allowed to minister to a church again.
Every word you’ve written is opinion, even your mistaken opinion that you’re writing fact. I reject your religion and not a force you can muster can change that. It’s the peril you run being part of a free country. Now, haunt some other house
He has been a priest for over fifty years, he is of clear mind, he is giving clear testimony, and yet because he is saying God appeared to him in female form - a form which comprises fully half of humanity - his testimony cannot be differentiated from that of a demon?
LOL, you have some major issues.
Propagandize much?
I understand you reject what the Word of God says, but since I didn’t write the Word of God, it’s not my opinion you’re rejecting ... you’re rejecting what God said ... :-) ...
I’m rejecting your opinion about the word of god.
I didn’t write the Word of God and it speaks, very clearly, for itself ... :-) ...
I’m not so ready to say a Catholic priest or even an evangelical minister may have really learned a whole lot about God. I am ready to say that God could let them meet demons as a test of the focus of their faith and as a lesson if they will learn it.
No, it has to have a Speaker behind it. If you go with the wrong Speaker, well you know the devil can quote scripture.
Anyone’s eyeballs can read it just fine ... no speaker needed ... :-) ...
No, the Spirit must speak or an entirely wrong message comes across. I can vouch for this from my experience in my early walk which was finally corrected by the Holy Spirit. I tried to walk in the clever things I could do with the bible, oh I tried to be oh so “orthodox” and was forever stumbling over the contradictions that resulted.
You sound immature in the faith. Granted, the faith will always begin “knowing Jesus Christ in a worldly manner” however it will not end there.
And what do you make of the veil that the bible says is there when the Law is read today? Surely “anyone’s eyeballs” fail!
And what do you make of the fact that the Word is the sword of the Spirit and not your own sword?
It boils down to what spirit you will believe. Words always, always have a context. No human language is the equivalent of mathematics.
