Near-Death Experiences As Proof of a God

Various Places | 8/18./2024 | By Laz A. Mataz

I've been a fan of watching YouTube accounts of Near Death Experiences lately. There are certain common elements:

• Leaving your physical body and observing people operating on them. In some cases, people were able to leave that location and see other people and places. One young lady left the operating room, travelling through walls, and went to find her father in the hospital.
• There is, of course, the tunnel you travel through and the bright light at the end of it.
• There, TO A PERSON, they describe a Life Review of all your significant actions, but not from your perspective, but how the OTHER person experienced it. Your best and your worst actions are all covered. Incredible peace and joy. Living forever in that doesn't sound so bad.
• In some cases, they describe vastly increased sensory perception. Vision beyond anything we can experience. Sound unlike anything we currently can hear, although all communication with other entities is telepathic.
• Most examples detail Entities that some describe as 'angels' and others describe as 'guides'. In many of the cases, they are reuniting with deceased relatives, including some that the subject doesn't even know... ancestors such as great-great-great grandparents.
• Since these individuals 'come back', they are given either the choice to decide to come back or to stay, or they are directed to, and in some cases, given a laundry list of things they are to accomplish. One example was striking; she was given a glimpse into her future that actually manifested. The primary lesson from the Near Death Experience was that only the love you gave others (including to animals) was important to the entities on the other side. One major entity, most desribed as 'God'. It was the single most powerful, loving, non-judgemental entity of the entire group.
• In some examples of NDE's, they were informed that we are sent back time and time again, to other lifetimes, to live and learn new lessons.

Various neuroscientists have stated that simple biological processes of death produce these effects. Maybe the tunnel and the light can be explained by this, but the rest? No way. I cannot think that mere biological processes could manifest such a detailed series of accounts. Nor is there any evolutionary benefit to these processes, obviously... you are dead, right? Evolution is highly unlikely to be a factor here.

So this, to me, seems like quasi-scientific proof of a God. Now, religions have added all sorts of nonsense around these concepts, since almost to a person, the subject of an NDE describes a God that is utterly nonjudgemental and loving. So, take the 10 Commandments: Seems like the 10 Commandments were written to make OUR lives better, and it is not some cosmic scorecard that God is judging us on.

One person I know personally that had an NDE, would not talk a lot about it, but the one thing he did relate is that 'all the nonsense religion spouts? The beings on the other side, they don't care. Just be loving.'

And that aligns with what Jesus said: To love God with all your heart, and to love your fellow man.

Except, of course, for NeverTrumpers. Those people are scum and it is okay to hate them. 😊

Thought this might be worthy of its own thread.

Wow, it’s 3:12AM and nobody cares about God.

[Ciaphas Cain]

I care.

[GMThrust]

Look up Gary Habbermas on YT.

[Lazamataz]

I know you do, that’s what I love about you.

[Lazamataz]

I will.

[JudyinCanada]

OMG. What a thing to read at 3:17 in the morning lololo.

It was beautifully written and I am glad I stumbled upon it....even the amendment about the Never Trumpers lol. Those NDEs are fascinating - I’ve watched a few myself.

A very profound message in there, and I took it to heart. I hope I remember it when I wake up so I can put it into action! Thank you, Laz, and God bless.

To love God with all your heart, and to love your fellow man.

Wow! I thought you had come around, found Jesus, or had a eureka moment, but then I read about your hatred for never Trumpers. Obviously you haven’t crossed over yet.

[Lazamataz]

Glad you enjoyed. Some of the processes can, indeed, be explained by a ‘brain shutting down’... but the incredibly detailed accounts? No way.

Something much more amazing is happening here, and — frankly — it has defeated my fear of death.

Wow! I thought you had come around, found Jesus, or had a eureka moment, but then I read about your hatred for never Trumpers. Obviously you haven’t crossed over yet.

Well, remember, some people experience Hell in their NDE's.

I suggest they are all, likely, Never Trumpers. 😁

[Lazamataz]

Dude (or Dude-ette), you do know what a joke is, right?

God is the author of all humor. He’s amazing like that. He gave me a spark.

[SaveFerris]

I don’t want to see all those sins I committed..... yikes 😳

I have no hope except for the shed Blood of Jesus Christ

[aspasia]

"You do know" Yeah, well, it's not about me.

There's a part about "Love your enemies" that isn't funny.

Stopped reading right there!

Reagan told the story of the preacher and politician that died in a car wreck and get to the pearly gates together. After checking the book they are both let in.

St. Peter takes them down a golden path and stops in front of a small apartment building and says “If you don't mind, we'll show the preacher his accommodations first.” Opens the door to a neat little one-bedroom apartment with a little kitchen and bath and laundry room down the hall.

Leaving the preacher they walk quite a ways and reach a large gated mansion with a huge lawn and gardens and a staff of maids and butlers waiting at the massive stone steps leading up to the mansion.

The politician tells St. Peter their must be some mistake - this must be the preacher's place.

“Oh no. We have millions of preachers - but you're our first politician.”

Laz. Great to see you. If a person needs to almost die to know GOD exist, they aren’t looking around. We are exposed every day to things that are proof. Sunsets, loved ones, etc. I’ve almost died in several instances but never to a point that I felt it was an awaking. It just scared the hell out of me. Near dead or a dream? Does it matter? Be safe.

[roving]

God isn’t giving tours of Heaven. You are to die once.

Same here!
