Done!
And still voting!
Pll3ase let me make clear that I do not doubt every case of nde’s or peoples experiences of them. I have doubt about my own nde- as it was not biblical, and I obviously would have doubts about other people’s nde’s if they were unbiblical too. I tried to 3xplain what I think may have happened in my case- and why I experienced what I did. Was it real? I have my doubts- was part of it real? “Perhaps” is about all i can say for it.
Personally, and im just guessing here, I think it “might have been” a satanic attack during my weakest moments- it really shook me for a long time. It shook my faith big time. It caused me to struggle with “feeling unsaved” for a long time.
That “alone-ness in the outer darkness” was just so overwhelming an “experience” that all I can say now is, that if it is anywhere near what hell is going to be like, then brother, keep it away from me! I want no part of it.
Did it etch memories into my subconscious? Sure, how could it not, but here is where faith comes in- I must believe that it was not biblical, that it was meant to drag me down spiritually, and that I am a child of God DESPITE how i may feel.
Jesus is preparing a mansion for me and all his children- this life is nothing but a temporary waypoint on my journey to heaven. I pray that God blesses you in your searching and questioning.
Yes I agree. You don’t get to really see the Shekinah glory in an NDE. You likely get a glimpse that your earthly mind can deal with.
Years ago, my husband and I were coming home after playing cards, it was about 2am, about a thirty minute drive. We were on a two lane rural road about three miles from our house.. it was a warm, no breeze August night in Ohio. Suddenly on the right side of the road, on a well known dangerous curve we saw this crazy looking “cyclone”, the best I can describe. It was about ten feet high, four feet wide and three feet off the ground, very bright, with like an effervescent glow, slowly spinning, my husband slowed down, we couldn’t believe what we were seeing and thought maybe it was some kind of bug swarm. He then took off, I wanted to go back. The next day, in talking to a friend. she asked if I heard about the “Johnson” boy who was killed on the “256 curve” the night before. For a long time, I wanted to call his family, good people but only knew them slightly, and just not sure, I do believe it was this boys spirit.
If a person did not experience the Shekinah glory during an NDE, they need to take a real good self examination of their life and make some improvements.
That story brought tears to my eyes.
It was an amazing experience and it set the course for the rest of my life.
