What It's Like to Die, According to an ICU Nurse

In other words, the brain may be channeling what some people call the soul, rather than responsible for creating it.”

Interesting way you put it...

Many secularist believe the "conscience" is a construct of our mind to deal with things like morals, ethics, good and evil, rather than an attribute of our creator who gave us a soul...

I think our soul, our essence, the “breath of God” is separate. Our brain is a tool, an instrument, a structure we use in this existence. Who knows what we will be capable of in the next? Or, what form it will take?

Nice post...........

My pop..died at my house. We talked about many things..before he passed on. Religion came up.

He had his ideas...

I found a John 3:16 key chain fob with his keys..after he died.

There are some “constructs”. Constructs are things we create to describe something that we did not. Much like the knowledge of good and evil.

Oh, and “In other words, the brain may be channeling what some people call the soul, rather than responsible for creating it” is a quote from the article, though I am flattered that you thought I said it.

I’ve been very sick a few times. You black out and let me tell you that you know nothing. Theres no fear, no anything.

How do they explain its being at odds with our nature?

We know things to be right and wrong even though we fight against it with all our desire. This ineffectual denial is the very basis of leftism and their hatred of God, especially the Christian God.

who die just after seeing a family member who has been delayed in arriving to see them because he or she was out of the country...my father was in the hospital hovering near death for several days - I was with him most of the time and my sister, who was out of the country on vacation, made arrangements to fly back -I picked her up at the airport and took her to the hospital, then headed home for a break - by the time I got there (maybe forty-five minutes) I got a call from her that he had passed shortly after she arrived to see him - makes one pause......
