While interesting, it really doesn’t impact my faith.
As a point of interest though, I will tell you that I have had many patients share such stories with me.
Two are stuck in my head.
One lady told me she had two experiences. At the time of the first she was a Christian and had an experience of total love, a bright light, told she has to go back. At the time of her second she was an adherent of a cult that hovers around the periphery of Christianity. This time she reported darkness and torment.
I also spoke with a gentleman who was an agnostic. He had a near death experience and told me that “Hell and retribution are real.” He was always a calm, composed guy, but when talking about this he became very aggitated, almost in a panic.
Ping to post 17.
I have a friend whose house caught on fire and whose 3 year old died from smoke inhalation. The firemen got to her and brought her back.
Later, she told her parents about talking with Jesus, and that he gave her cheerios to nibble on while they were talking. (she loved them as finger food). She also talked about how beautiful it was. They had never asked her about anything, she just volunteered this information one day.
Impressive. Thanks.
