A female pastor in the Pittsburgh PA area, Pastor Georgia (I hesitate to give her last name), has given seminars in which she tells a story from her days as a nurse. She ministered to an individual who clinically died and was resuscitated. The man claimed to be ushered into the presence of Jesus, who was in the process of taking him before "the Dad" -- and then he was resuscitated.

Pastor Georgia asked the man, "You mean, he was taking you before The Lord?" And the man was adamant: "Jesus was taking me before "the Dad". No one goes into the presense of "the Dad" unless Jesus takes him there!"

What made this story so poignant, is that the man in question had no church background, he had been an agnostic, ignorant of the Gospel, until Georgia ministered to him in the hospital and he accepted Jesus as Savior a few days before the near-death experience. No one in his experience, the man said, had ever referred to the Father God as "the Dad", this was a concept that the man had picked up when he died and went to the beyond.

You can accept this story or not, as you will. But it has touched everyone who has heard it.

Matthew 5

21 "You have heard that it was said to the people long ago, 'Do not murder,[1] and anyone who murders will be subject to judgment.' 22 But I tell you that anyone who is angry with his brother[2] will be subject to judgment.

I think we are all guilty of breaking all 10. Their purpose was not to show us how to be good, but to show us that we were in need of saving!

He could have been complicit in getting a girlfriend to have an abortion and realized it after the experience...

I guess he got his masters while in prison for murder or something.
